The Schley County News  Thursday, June 20th 1895  
AT REST
Mr. H.C. Arrington peacefully passed away Saturday morning at 5 o'clock.  His 
death was no surprise, as he had been in declining health for many months, and 
from the time he took his bed, his family realized that his life was slowly 
ebbing out.  Mr. Arrington was born in Twiggs county in 1822, moved to Sumter 
in 1853, and settled near Shiloh, being the oldest member of that church.  His 
life was marked and bounded by the golden rule and he enjoyed the high esteem 
and respect of his neighbors.


A few months ago he moved to Ellaville to be near his children, and here he 
gathered about him many friends.  The deceased leaves an aged wife and seven 
children.  The funeral took place from the Baptist church Sunday morning at 9 
o'clock.  The building was filled to its utmost capacity by those who had come 
for miles around to pay the last respects to their departed friend.  Dr. 
Griffin conducted the solemn funeral service, dwelling at length on the many 
virtues of the dead.  The casket was covered with beautiful floral designs.  
The following gentlemen acted as pall bearers:  Messrs. J.M. Murray, Eugene 
Dixon, J.R. Williams, T.A. Collins, A. Allen and R.C. Wells.


Mr. Arrington was a loving husband and an affectionate father and a true riend 
and will be greatly missed, especially in the home circle, but may the ereaved 
find comfort in the thought that he has gone to that land where the sunlight 
never fades, where burdens are laid down, all sorrows forgotten, and peace ike 
a river flows through every soul.
