The Henry County Weekly, February 24, 1893
JOHN H. NUTT
     Our pen has been chosen to contribute a brief obituary of our friend and 
fellow citizen, late of Spalding County.
     Mr. NUTT was born in Spalding County, Ga., on the 19th of July 1849. In 
his early manhood he was married to Miss SAMANTHA RODGERS, but she survived 
only a short time, and our friend was left alone. After this he was married to 
Miss EMMA DUKE, who also in the course of human events passed away, and left 
him with two small children to provide for. Realizing that it was not good for 
man to be alone, he was induced to look for another companion to share with him 
the joys and sorrows of this precarious and changeable life. Never was man more 
fortunate in the selection of a woman to fill the vacuum produced in the house 
by the loss of his first companions. This grand, incomparable woman was found 
in the person of Miss SALLIE BARFIELD, whose untiring devotion to the man to 
whom she vowed at the marriage altar an unwavering faithfulness, so long as 
they both might live, and the life-long obligation was faithfully kept until 
severed by the cold hand of death. By this happy union there are two little 
boys and one or two little girls left without the watchful care of a loving 
father to confront the rough places that are often found while running life’s 
eventful journey.
     It is not necessary in this ?cennection? to speak of the loathsome disease 
with which our late friend was so long and deeply afflicted. Let it suffice to 
say, he bowed in humble submission to the sovereign will of Him who orders all 
things after the counsel of His own infinite wisdom. Our friend for a long time 
greatly desired that he might be recovered, from his deep and loathsome 
affliction, but when he clearly saw that  he was doomed to die, he calmly 
surrendered the prospects and hopes of this life and looked away through the 
shed blood of the central cross to that cleansing fountain that could wash away 
all the stains of life, and make him a fit mate for his Master’s use. After 
many wearisome months of deep suffering, at half past 9 o’clock, on Friday 
night of the 6th day of January, 1893, JOHN H. NUTT died without a goad or 
struggle in glorious anticipation of a better life in the “over beyond.” May 
God of love raise up a host of true and sincere friends to aid and guide those 
dear little children over life’s rugged pathway, and may they all meet again in 
the sweet bye and bye.
W. T. G.
