From Barnesville

To My Talbot County Friends:

A very great sorrow has fallen upon us.  On the third of August our precious 
boy, Fletcher, fifteen years old, was suddenly killed.  He was hauling a load 
of wood when the team became frightened, ran and threw him from the wagon, both 
wheels passing over his head.

Truly our sorrow is great, but we are resting in the precious scriptures, and 
the Blessed Holy Comforter is with us, and we bow in sweet submission to the 
will of God.

Fletcher was a good boy, of a happy natural disposition, obedient to his father 
and mother, never giving them pain or trouble.  He was gloriously converted at 
the Indian Springs Holiness Camp Meeting last year.  Only three or four days 
before his death I was talking to him about his soul condition.  He said he was 
still praying and holding onto Jesus.  So we “mourn not as those who have no 
hope”.  All praise to our God.  We desire the prayers of every praying friend 
we have in Talbot County.

W.P. Miller
