The Christian Index, June 2, 1892
DOLLAR.-- Our beloved Deacon, Bro. Jesse Dollar has been called from his 
earthyly dwelling place to that celestial home prepared among those heavenly 
mansions in Eternity.

Bro. Dollar was born in South Carolina, August 28th 1814.  Married to Mary A. 
Baxly, Nov. 24th 1842, joined the Baptist church at Sharon in Henry county, 
Ga., about 1835, he died at his home in Fulton county, Jan. 1st 1892.

And though we realize we can never more be lovingly associated, nor cheered in 
our toilsome pilgrimage by his presence, nor encouraged in our labors for the 
Master by his wise and Godly council, we submit to the will of God, and mourn 
not as those having no hope, for we are taught by the Scriptures he loved so 
well, that "Blessed are they that die in the Lord."

While permitted to live he lived for Christ, and amidst all the trials and 
besetments of life, in health as well as sickness and in old age in the worldly 
transactions of life as much as in the services of God.  He taught us that the 
religion of our Lord Jesus Christ ennobles man and makes us honest with God and 
all humanity, so honest was he as a man that the world pointed him out as a man 
of God and respected him as such.

Resolved 1st.  That the members of Sharon Baptist church commend the life of 
Bro. Dollar to all mankind as one worthy of imitation, and while we are 
satisfied that our Heavenly Father has made no mistake we have lost one of our 
purest Christian members.

2nd.  That in trying to assure them that the Godly man has only preceded them 
to that heavenly land.  We extend to the bereaved children our kindest sympathy.

3rd.  That these resolutions be entered on our church book and copy furnished 
the Index for publications, also a copy furnished the family.

Done in conference April 23rd, 1892.

G. R. Joiner,
W. T. Huff,
J. C. Harwell, Committee.
