He was born in North Carolina, Rutherford county, July 26th, 1791, being nearly 89 years of age. He moved from there to Georgia at an early age, and joined the Primitive Baptist church at Bethlehem, Habersham county and was baptized by Elder Peter Kuykendoll in 1825. He was ordained deacon shortly afterwards and lived a very consistent member all his life, that is, he never had a charge preferred against him during his membership. He had been unable to attend his meetings for the last six years, being confined near the house by old age and feebleness. He often expressed during his feebleness that he had "lived out his time, but not the Lord's." He was ready to go, but the Lord was not ready to take him away. The time of his departure had long been expected by his relatives and friends. They knew that according to nature there was no chance for him to recover, yet they could not help weeping at his death, though they had strong reasons to believe that he is far better off. Let us hope that he is now where they never grow old nor feeble, but will be as happy in eternity as now. K.I. Keaton.
