TILFORD, Esq., from the Baptist Church at Stamping Ground, tomorrow (Friday) Evening at 3 o'clock. Funeral discourse by Rev. E. D. Isbell, Scott County, Ky., August 1, 1872. ------------------------------ From: Byron Redmond Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 00:55:48 -0500 Subject: KY-F: OBIT: Evans, 1936 - Whitley Co With this article is a picture of "Uncle Jason" and if I can get to a scanner I will scan it and forward it to you. Here is the article in it's entirety from the "Laurel River Association of KY. Baptists" Jason B. Evans Jason B. Evans was born December 19, 1844. Died June 27, 1936. He was better known and generally called "Uncle Jason". He was twice married. His first wife, four daughters and one son preceded him to the grave. His last wife, three children and approximately seventy-five grand and great-grandchildren with a great host of friends mourn his death. He joined the Liberty Baptist church more than 70 years ago. In 1896 when East Pittsburg Baptist church was constituted, he was one of the charter members and remained a faithful member until God said, "Your work is done," and took him home. He was ever ready with his time, his money and his means for the support of his church, his pastor, evangelist, sick, poor and needy, or anyone in distress. He had been feeble for a few years, but would take his cane and go to church until only a few months before his going. East Pittsburg church has lost a faithful member; Laurel River Association a regular and useful messenger; but we hope to meet him around the Great White Throne in Heaven. That is the entire article and there is no date for it but I believe it was printed soon after his death. ------------------------------ From: Sharon Crawford Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 02:01:26 -0500 Subject: KY-F: OBIT: Crawford, 1933 - Estill Co Oklahoma County Newspaper - January 23, 1933 VET WHO MARCHED WITH SHERMAN DIES Marshall Crawford, 86, Made Run to State in 1889 Marshall CRAWFORD, 86-year-old Civil War veteran who joined the Union Army when he was 15, died at his farm home six miles east of the capital today of pneumonia.
