A LOVING TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF UNCLE GEORGE WINDOM

"Oh, Uncle, thy gentle voice is hushed,

Thy warm, true heart is still,

And on thy pale and peaceful face

Is resting death's cold chill.

Yet why should we weep

That his toils are o'er and his race run,

God grant that we may rest as calmly

When our work, like his, is done."

On Oct. 1, 1908, God in His wisdom and mercy saw fit to take from us our 
dear uncle, whose beautiful life had been lent his loved ones for seventy 
years. Still we feel unworthy and incompetent to approach, much less to 
speak, of his many virtues of such a noble nature as was his. His Christian 
character was unquestionable, inspiring confidence in his piety. His 
Chrisitan life was bright and happy, always submissive to his Master's will. 
To say that in every relation in life, a son, brother, husband, father, 
neighbor and church member, he was devoted, mild and gentle, full of 
sympathy, and always ready to help the sick and distressed, but faintly 
expresses the truth.

He exerted an influence among those who shared his company that was both 
beautiful and good. In the morning of life he joined Bethel Baptist church, 
Meriwether county, and remained a consistent member until he peacefully 
passed into the sleep of death to join the blessed "dead who die in the 
Lord."

After a beautiful discourse by Dr. S.B. Cousins, the remains were interred 
in the quiet cemetery at Bethel beside his wife and daughters, there to rest 
until the earth gives up its dead. He leaves three children, eight 
grandchildren, two sisters and a host of other relatives and friends to 
mourn their loss. A niece.
