Christian Index June 19, 1851
Died at his residence in Houston County, Ga., on the 9th May, 1851, Mr. Isaac 
(supposed to be Isaiah) Langley in the 42nd year of his age.  He was fully 
appraised of his approaching end, and seemed to enjoy happy assurance of his 
acceptance with God through his Lord Jesus Christ.  At the age of 14 he was 
baptized upon a profession of his faith, and before he was of age, he had  
commenced preaching the Gospel of the grace of God.  Though uneducated, he 
loved knowledge and sought it earnestly as opportunity was allowed. He read 
much and seldom forgot what he read; and few years after his ordination, he had 
obtained a very respectible reputation as an able minister of the New 
Testament.  But a dark cloud gathered over him, in after years, and his sun 
went down with the dreary gloom which it produced.  He was the victim of 
epilepsy and it was probably that which connected with his life, and surprised 
and mortified his friends may be traced to that blighting, withering influence 
of that dreadful malady.  By A. T. Holmes
