IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF GEO. W. MATTHEWS

In loving remembrance of Geo. W. Matthews who died at his home near Moreland 
on Oct. 24, 1909 aged 87 years and 6 days. He was born in Wilkes county, 
Ga., on Oct. 18, 1822 and moved with his parents to Coweta county in 1834. 
When a young man he joined the church and ever afterwards enjoyed its 
privileges, always being present when able. He first married Miss Frances 
Northers, who died thirty years ago. She left a good name as devoted wife 
and mother. She left seven children, one of whom has since died. "Uncle 
George" had four sons awaiting him in a better land, we trust. He expressed 
a willingness to go and said he felt that the Savior was waiting to welcome 
him home. His second marriage was to Miss Thirsa Martin in 1881 who survives 
him. May heaven's blessings rest on the bereaved ones.
