Cedartown Standard, Thursday, May 8, 1919
Just after the month of April had passed out and just before the sunrise of May 
1st, God looked into the home of Mr. J. T. Coalson and called him from it. He 
had been in ill health many years but had been confined to his bed only five 
days when carried from his suffering. He was a member of County Line Church, 
and the church has never had a more faithful worker for the vineyard of Christ. 
The community at large has lost a willing friend and neighbor, Polk County has 
lost one of its best citizens; County Line Sunday school has lost a strong, 
noble Superintendent, and County Line lodges lost an ever-ready officer. As a 
husband he cannot be excelled, for surely no one could be more devoted to a 
companion. As a father he was always studying and working for the welfare of 
his children. As a son he was obedient from his cradle. Although he had a large 
family of his own, he was always mindful of his father and mother, and never 
tired of doing things that would bring pleasure and happiness into their 
hearts. Mr. Coalson was always willing to help his fellow man and 
notwithstanding the fact that he had bad health, he went to church, Sunday 
school, prayer service and to his lodge regularly, and was always glad to tell 
the public how Christ had blessed. He leaves to grieve after him a loving wife, 
eight children, father, mother, three brothers and five sisters. His son, 
Claude, is in France in the 319th Field Artillery, 82d Division, and is yet 
unaware of his father’s death. May God bring him safely home to his heart-
broken mother, and comfort them all in this bereavement. The funeral was held 
Friday at County Line, services were conducted by Rev. J. S. Garner followed by 
beautiful and touching talks from Revs. A. J. Garner, Cephas Coalson, Messrs. 
Bob Knight, Frank Locklear, J. C. Ezzell, T. M. Ezzell, T. M. Coalson and the 
latter'’ wife. The closing service at the grave was conducted by Rev. Gordon 
Ezzell.
