A Good Man Gone

Benjamin R. Wright was born in North Carolina in 1830 and peacefully died in 
his sleep at the home of his nephew, Mr. W.J. Carter, near Meansville, Ga., 
March 31st 1900. Those dates can not tell the joy, the sorrow, the fidelity and 
the faithfulness of his life. He was converted at a very tender age and his 
Christianity was not only an inward experience but a practical force. He had 
received Christ’s blessings and life into his and went forth to show the power 
of the divine life into humanity. He was active and self-sacrificing in his 
devotion to the Master, and was always identified with the best interests of 
the church. He gathered about him a strong company of valuable and valued 
friends of the very best people. He fashioned his life according to the rules 
of goodliness. Hence he was known throughout the circuit of his acquaintance as 
a man of intelligence and integrity, solid piety, and strong Christian 
character. The end was sweet and peaceful.

“At last in Jesus blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep.” - G.W. Farr
