LEBANON News

Sept. 5

On last Thursday, W.R. Sewell, 46, passed away at the home of Mrs. George 
Pounds in Tallapoosa, Ga. He moved to Cleburne county about 30 years ago 
from Haralson county, Ga. and married Miss Louise Roberts about 25 years 
ago. To this union were born three sons; one sister Mrs. Josie Allen of near 
Tallapoosa; one half- sister of Birmingham; one half- brother Johnny T. 
Chandler of Lebanon; and a host of relatives in Haralson and Cleburne county 
to mourn his death.

He joined the Baptist church at Concord about 15 years ago and was a 
faithful member and a deacon and will be greatly missed in the church. He 
served in the capacity as Sunday school superintendant for several years. He 
was also serving his second term as a member of the county board of 
education.

Mr. Sewell was loved and respected by all who knew him; he was a true 
christian man, and always had a kind and sympathetic word for the sick and 
unhappy. He loved his God, church and home and stood for all things that 
were good. The church and community's loss is Heaven's eternal gain and 
surely Heaven has gained a great soldier of the Cross. Let us all live to as 
to meet Bro. Sewell in that home he so faithfully lived to go to. A friend.
