He was a man of untiring energy - - he was industrious almost to a fault, and the result of a life of hard work and exposure was premature decrepitude - - he was old beyond his years; but he could not endure idleness; so, when forced to abandon hard labor, he opened a little store. On the night of the 27th , on rising from prayer (which he always held at the supper table), he was called to the store. Not returning, Sister Stalvey went out about eight o’clock and found him prostrate, his skull crushed; he lingered until noon next day, occasionally showing signs of consciousness, but never spoke. He joined the church at seventeen, and experienced justification when about thirty years of age, and was thenceforward a decided Christian, filling the office of an exhorter acceptably and profitably for about fifteen years. He was eminently a Bible reader - - a Bible student - - and though he latterly held some peculiar views on doctrine, they were errors of the head; his heart was right. A few weeks before his death he told the writer he felt his race was about run, but he was ready for the Master’s call, and now he has gone. Thus passed away the last of four brothers, who were a power for good in this section of country. We thank the Lord for them. A. B.
