J. M. Satterwhite 
     My father, James Madison Satterwhite, died at his home near Roanoke, Ala., 
last Friday January 2d, at 5 p. m. and was near 91 years old. He was taken sick on 
the Tuesday before but was not thought to be in a serious condition until Friday morning. 
He was buried at the Mount Pisgah church, laid by the side of mother who preceded him 
to the grave fourteen years. Elder B. F. House conducted the funeral services, 
preaching a brief and comforting sermon and some remarks were made by other friends, 
Though it was a cold, windy day the congregation was large, friends coming a distance 
of fifty miles in autos. He leaves four children - Mrs. M.E. Whitten of near 
Roanoke (with whom father lived for many years, and whose faithfulness to him 
is sure of great reward) B. F. Satterwhite of Roanoke, F. P. Satterwhite, of Memphis, Tenn., 
and myself, also ten grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren. 

    He had for a long time been a faithful member of Mount Pisgah Church. 
He served most of four years in the civil war and, to be Brief, he was true 
and faithful in every relation of life, and many pages could be written to his memory, 
but for the time being, let this suffice. 
His son, J. T. Satterwhite

indicate he was born in 1830 this would place his date of death during 1921
