Mr. James N. English Dies At Penfield

   On the morning of October 23rd, Mr. James N. English, an old and honored 
citizen of Greene county, died at his home in Penfield.  Mr. English was born 
in March 1843, in Greene county, and had lived his entire life in and near 
Penfield, except the years that he spent as a soldier in the Confederate 
army.  He was a brave and loyal soldier, ever true to his country.  He tried 
to do his duty as he saw it.  He was a good citizen and tried to build up. his 
community.  Although for the past several years he had been in feeble health 
and greatly afflicted and a great sufferer, yet will be greatly missed by 
those who knew and loved him.
   He was married in early manhood to Miss Sallie Geer, and for many years 
they lived happily together, she ministering to his wants in his last weary 
months of summering.  It was beautiful to see her faithful, loving devotion to 
this companion of her youth.  god gave her strength in time of need to be 
faithful to the end.  Besides his wife Mr. English leaves five sons, many 
grandchildren, relatives and friends to grieve over his going away.
   His sons are Messrs. Walter English, Henry English, Shelby English, of 
Penfield; Mr. Will English, of Greensboro, and Mr. Joe English, of Thomson.  
Mr. English lived out his allotted time and more.  76 is a good, ripe old age.
   The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. E. L. Harris at the Baptist 
Church, and many relatives and friends gathered from this as well as adjoining 
counties to pay this tribute of respect to this brave old soldier of the 
cross.  The beautiful floral offerings spoke eloquently of how he was loved 
and respected.  We extend our deepest sympathy to his loved ones.  The time 
will not be long until they may be reunited in the City of God.

Additional Comments:
Son of Henry English, Jr. and Elizabeth Dicks; husband of Sarah Martha Geer.
