Aug. 22nd, 1892 – 

The many friends of Mr. G.G. Potter, in Taylor and surrounding counties will be 
pained to learn of his death, which sad event occurred at his late residence 
near Atlanta on Tuesday eve Aug. 9th.  Mr. Potter had reached the age of 74 and 
had spent over fifty years of that time as a devoted follower of his Lord and 
Master Jesus Christ, he had been a strict member of the Methodist church and 
Sunday School Superintendent for fifty years, and at the time of his death as 
the loved and trusted leader of a live and flourishing Sunday School.  It can 
truly be said of this devout man that the world was better for his having lived 
in it.  Mr. Potter died in the full possession of his faculties, surrounded by 
his wife, who has gone hand and hand with him for fifty years.  Children, 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren, to them he left a legacy more precious 
than gold, the example of a well spent life.

To his bereaved ones who are sorely afflicted we would commend his example and 
point them to the Christ that he loved so well and followed so faithfully, and 
who sustained him so fully in the hour of death.  Rev. T.T. Christian of the 
Advocate conducted the funeral exercises at the late residence.  His remains 
were interred at Gainesville Rev. J.M. Roberts concluded the funeral services.  
May the God Mr. Potter so faithfully served smooth the rough places in life for 
his bereaved companion left behind is the prayer of P.G.
