Mr. J.W. Halsey Buried at Ebenezer Church

Mr. J.W. Halsey, age 80 on the 1st of September, died at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. J.M. Means, last Monday morning about 1 o'clock.  While Bro. 
Halsey had been an invalid for the past four and a half years, his death was 
unexpected at the time and was a great shock to all.
Funeral services were conducted at Ebenezer M.E. church Tuesday morning by his 
former pastor, Rev. R. W. Rogers, assisted by Rev. J. S. Thrailkill, Rev. Geo. 
Davis and Rev. Grover Knowles.  Burial was in the church yard with R.H. 
Strickland in charge as funeral director.
Mr. Halsey is survived by three children; Mrs. J. M. Means Mrs. O.C. Bell and 
Mrs. Asa Waller and 14 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren and one sister 
Mrs. Dingler, of Williamson.
Mr. Halsey was a brave Confederate soldier and served during the Civil War in 
the 53rd Ga. Regiment.
  Brother Halsey was best known for his consistent Christian life. He joined 
Ebenezer church in 1869 and retained his membership there until his death.  He 
was a steward and trustee of this church at his death and had been for more 
than 50 years.  He was a good man in every sense of the word and his influence 
will be sadly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Yet, he leaves a goodly heritage that will live to bless his children and the 
people of this community.
