The Cairo Messenger, Friday, January 7, 1916
In Memorium
On December 16, 1915, Our Heavenly Father sent his messenger the white winged 
angel of death into the home of Mr. C. N. Hollingsworth, taking him, the 
beloved father and husband bearing his precious soul to the God who gave it, 
and to the rest prepared for him.  He was a devoted member of the Primitive 
Baptist church and never failed to attend his regular meetings unless sickness 
prevented. He was born Feb. 21st, 1852.  He leaves a wife and seven children, 
Messrs. Levy and Robert Hollingsworth, Mrs. Percy Cross, Mrs. Warner Harrell, 
Mrs. Clower Hall, Mrs. Buford Connell and Miss Mattie Hollingsworth.  He also 
leaves one sister, Mrs. Sarah Brock and one brother, Rev. William 
Hollingsworth.  The entire family are deeply sensible of the great loss which 
they have sustained in the death of their beloved one, yet they realize their 
loss is Heaven's gain.  They feel that his beautiful life has been to them an 
inspiration of higher and nobler thoughts and deeds, the boundless extent of 
which will not be known, until the final reckoning shall come.  He had been 
failing in health for some time and about six weeks ago was taken very ill.  
All that loving hands and kind friends could do was done, but the Heavenly 
Father thought best to take him.  He was one of the first settlers of this 
community and was a kind neighbor and friend to all who knew him.  

His body was laid to rest the following day at Mizpah cemetery where a large 
congregation of sorrowing friends and relatives had gathered to pay their last 
respects.
