Cedartown Standard, Cedartown, GA
J. A. McGinnis, was born in Jackson county, Aug. 17, 1839, and spent his 
boyhood there.  He married Nancy Gordon, of that county, almost 60 years ago.  
They had five children born to them, and four of which survive him.  He always 
had a smile and a kind word for everyone.  He was always willing to do his part 
in every good cause.  He served through the Civil War, and often talked of the 
hardships the boys had to undergo in those awful times.  He gave his life to 
Jesus in young manhood, and was a member of the Missionary Baptist church over 
65 years.  He is gone, but his kind deeds will live on and his children and 
grandchildren will fell the influence of his life in the years to come.  He 
leaves his aged companion, three sons, and one daughter at whose home he spent 
his last days.  Through untold agony he was patient, always appreciative of 
anything done for him.  His 84 years of life were well spent, and now he is 
with the Savior he loved and served so long---His granddaughter, Minnie 
Peterson. (Cedartown Standard, Cedartown, GA, I failed to write down the date - 
sorry)
