IN MEMORIAM OF JOHN SMITH

Departed this life on the morning of the 3rd inst. at his residence near 
Carrollton, Mr. John Smith, more familiarly known as "Uncle Johnny". The 
deceased was born in the state of North Carolina on June 4, 1806 and was in 
the 
seventy-fifth year of his age when the summons of death came. 

When 15 years of age he came to Walton County, Georgia. On the 10th of 
October, 1830 he was married to Miss Sophia Wood, who survives him and who now 
resides with her only son, Mr. G. M. Smith of Carrollton.

The deceased had been for more than five years afflicted and much of that time 
confined to his room, but in all his suffering he was patient and his greatest 
desire was to be fully resigned to his Master's will. A short time before his 
death, he called to his wife and spoke of his early departure, asking her to 
meet him in Heaven. 

He was a member of the M.E. church at Stripling's Chapel. In obedience to the 
call of death, he has gone to reap his reward, leaving many friends who 
sympathize with the bereaved in their affliction and commend them to the word 
of God, the christian's sure support and only perfect consolation in time of 
trouble. W.W.R.
