ASHCRAFT.—Charles Pinkney Ashcraft was born in St. Clair county, 
Alabama, Aug. 24, 1847, and died May 17, 1883, at his home in Smith 
county, Texas. He professed religion and joined the Protestant 
Methodist Church in 1868, in which he remained until 1872, when he 
united with the M. E. Church, South, in which he lived until death. 
He was Sabbath-school superintendent at the time of his death, 
endeavoring to perform his duties faithfully. He was regarded by his 
neighbors as a devout, earnest, exemplary Christian, and we trust he 
has fallen asleep in Jesus. He has gone, and we must say farewell, 
but not forever; we hope to meet again in the city of the living God. 
May God bless his companion, two children, aged parents, and 
relatives in this their great affliction. May he give him peace and 
comfort, and bring them all to a happy reunion in heaven.—

T. P. SMITH.
