We
are really sad to chronicle the death of our esteemed friend and
neighbor, Mr. B. T. Tucker, who departed this life on 26th
October at 7o’clock p.m. The writer has known him for the last
thirty years, and can truly say he was a man who endeared himself to
all who knew him.
An
honest, upright, truthful, sober man, his whole life was one
uninterrupted course of duty and affection to his Church and family.
He was sick for three months and bore his affliction with the
fortitude of a Christian, yielding his breath in full peace of mind
and convinced that he was leaving this earthly state for a better and
a happier in another world, and when he found the hand of death upon
him, his only regret was to think on the agonies which must rend the
hearts of those dependent on him, for he was perfectly contented to
leave the world as his conscience did not reproach him with his errors
would be forgiven. Thus he resigned his precious soul into the hands
of a merciful God. The death of such a man should occasion the deepest
sorrow, yet at
the
same time leaves us the most comfortable assurance that he is happier
than our fondest wishes and care could have made him which must enable
us to support the remainder of years which shall please God to allot
for us here without murmuring or discontent and quicken our endeavors
to prepare ourselves to follow to that happy place where our dear and
valuable friend is gone before.

Death
of Mrs. Tunstall.
Lula
Tunstall died Nov. 3, 1897, aged 24 years. The 17th of
January, 1897, she was married to Willie Tunstall. She joined the
Methodist Church at Bethel when quite young. She was quiet in her
disposition, unassuming in her ways, and pleasant in her manners. Her
life as a member of the church was above reproach. It is sad that she
should die so young, yet death is swallowed up in victory. She leaves
a husband, mother, brothers, and sisters to mourn their loss. May the
blessings of God rest upon them all. -------G. B. PERRY-----

Obituary.
Died
at her residence at Bullock on December 25th 1900, Mollie
Tunstall,
the wife of J. B. V. Tunstall. She was born in Chatham county,
on July 29th, 1840. when she was quite young her parents
moved to Chesterfield county, Va. Where she resided until she married.
She was an honest, consistent member of State Line Baptist Church. She
leaves a kind husband, two daughters and four sons to mourn her loss,
all of whom were at her beside to administer to her last wants except
her oldest son. Her last illness was long and trying, but will rarely
see such an instance of patience and fortitude as she expressed
perfect resignation to the will of God.
When
we see such strong sturdy men completely prostrated by grief, it is
heart-rendering, but may it only serve to make them look up and strive
to go that mother. Her favorite song was “Nearer My God to Thee, “
and we believe and trust she has at last attained to that eternal
nearness to her God who she served. –A FRIEND.-
