DR. AND MRS. S. P. CHRISTIAN.
At the residence of their son-in-law,
Mr. F. F. Rennie, Highland Park, Richmond,
Vd., on March 29, 1909, Dr. Samuel
Pleasants Christian, in the eighty-ninth
year of his age, and, on June 14, 1909,.
Mrs. Amelia Coleman Christian, the
relict of Dr. Christian, in the eightieth
year of her age.
Such is the record that tells of the ^
passing into the better life of two of the
most faithful and consecrated of God's
servants that it has been the privilege
of the writer to know. 4
Dr. Christian wna hnrn at Pnnl U'oll
New Kent county, Virginia, January 25,
1821. His wife, who was Miss Amelia
Gordon, of Richmond, Va., was horn -in
that city June 18, 1829. They were mar
ried December 22, 1847, at the residence
of Mrs. Christian's father, Mr. John N.
Gordon, who was a prominent merchant
of Richmond and an elder in the Grace
Street Presbyterian Church.
Coming of a godly and distinguished
ancestry, both Dr. and Mrs. Christian
began their wedded life under the happiest
of auspices. Their home was. until
1889, in New Kent county, first at Cedar
Grove and then at Belle Isle, where, until
the breaking out of the civil war. Dr.
Christian engaged in the practice of 4
medicine. During this period he and
TVTra P.hriof Ian xxmro 1 r? I
w?*?suvsc*aa ncic lOlgCIJ lllOll UliirilUll
in the establishment of the Olivet Presbyterian
Church, of which Dr. Christian JB
became a ruling elder and continued
such until his removal to Roanoke, in
1889. No mother ever loved a child more
than Dr. Cnristian did Olivet. It was
truly his first love and, to the day of his
death, there was no other sanctuary on
earth so dear to his heart. To it he
gave the prayers and work and love of a
life time.
While resident in New Kent, Dr. and
Mrs. Christian had nine children born to '
them?Mrs. F. F. Rennie and Miss Sallie
P. Christian, of Highland Park; Miss
Carrie F. christian, who died in Roan-;
oke, Va.; _J. Fleming Christian, a manufacturer
of Cleveland, O.; Rev. Churchill
Q. Christian, of Rocky Mount, N. C., and
Mr. Samuel P. Christian, a merchant of ^
Wheeling, W. Va., besides three other
children, who died in infancy.
At the breaking out of the civil war in
1861 Dr. Christian became a surgeon in J
the Confederate army, and so continued
until the close of the war, when he re- ^
turned home and engaged in public
school work and farming until 1889,
when he and his faithful wife removed
to Roanoke City, where they resided with
their oldest son, Mr. J. F. Christian.
During this period Dr. and Mrs. Christian
were for a time connected with the
First Presbyterian Church, of Roanoke, *
but later on became prominent in the
founding of the Second Church of that
city.
In 1899 they removed to Richmond and
made their home with their son-in-law,
Mr. F. F. Rennie, Highland Park. They
at once connected themselves with the . *
Mizpah Presbyterian Church and became
a benediction to the entire community.
Although even then past the allotted age
