A GOOD MAN GONE

S.M. Hood was born in Wilkes County, Ga., August 1834 and departed this life 
at his home near Double Head, Chambers county, Ala., Jan. 5th, 1904.  He died 
in the faith.  Among his last words were "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh 
away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."  Then referring to the blessed 
saviour, expressing his trust in him, his spirit quietly passed away.

His remains were buried at the Christian church near his home Jan. 
6th.  "Uncle Steve" had been a sufferer for a long time but he bore his 
sufferings with patience.  His life was one of rightness. He was ever ready to 
help in building church houses and school houses. In his death his wife has 
lost a devoted husband and his children a kind and loving father and the 
community has lost one of its best citizens, one that will be greatly missed.  
The bereaved have our sympathy.   L.P. McKnight,  Jan. 11, 1904
