Yet they weep not as those who have no hope, for they have reason to believe that their beloved one is at rest. Though he never made a profession of religion, he was a firm believer in the Primitive Baptist faith, and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the church at Upatoie, where his wife and one daughter were members. He was kind, devoted and affectionate to his family, friendly and neighborly in his community, and he therefore had many warm friends and no enemies. He is sadly missed by his bereaved family and community. He was married to Nancy F. Cox, May 2, 1839, with whom he lived happily until his death, and to whom were born ten children. May the Lord bless and comfort the afflicted. The funeral services were conducted by Elder John Richard Respess. Elder John Green Murray Reprinted in the July, 1997 TAYLOR COUNTY TRACER
