FROM THE 1884 WEST UNION ASSOCIATION OF UNITED BAPTISTS MINUTES
(Met with the Church of Christ, at Buffalo)
S.F. LAY
Son of Elder M. Lay, was born in Campbell County, Tenn., Jan. the 14th,
1860; died in Scott County, April the 11th, 1884; was a member of
Pleasant Grove Church about eight years; baptized by Elder G. C.
Duncain.  His remarks were "Father and mother you need not grieve for
me; if I get well it is all right, if I die it is all right.  I feel my
way clear, I am going to heaven.  I am satisfied to you all but Brother
Louis; I fear he is not prepared, and it grieves my poor heart.  I want
to talk but my lungs are weak and my body is weak; but I am strong in
spirit, I love the Lord; I feel his love burning in my heart.  Mother
that is a good feeling to have on a dying bed."  He shouted and praised
the Lord, and at last he kissed father and mother and said farewell.
