Rev. Norman D. Morehouse

Note: The beginning of this obituary was torn and begins several paragraphs 
later.

While thus engaged sickness came upon him and that sermon remains unfinished.  
One Wednesday night he was unable to attend prayer meeting, but not until last 
Sunday was it known to many friends that he was seriously ill with pneumonia.  
During the early part of the night he sat up in bed, and positive hope of his 
recovery was entertained; he asked Dr. Edge if he wouldn’t be better by 
morning.  About 11 o’clock the watchers noticed that his loud, difficult 
breathing had ceased, and they went to the bedside, finding him completely at 
rest; his spirit had passed from time to eternity.

Rev. Norman D. Morehouse was 52 years old, born in Connecticut in 1840.  In 
early boyhood he came to Georgia with his parents, and at the age of 19 years 
he became a minister of the Gospel, having joined the Georgia Conference of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church.  For 33 years he was an active, zealous, loving and 
beloved minister and his life was in constant accord with the doctrine he so 
ably propounded from the pulpit.  He was just beginning the third year of his 
ministry at Perry when the Lord called him to the eternal home of the pure in 
spirit. – Perry Home Journal

Mr. Morehouse was one of the best and most eloquent ministers of the South Ga. 
Conference and his death will be sad news to his many friends.
