HON. GEORGE LEMON. <
Churchman, civic leader, philanthro- 1
pist, and one of the pioneer citizens 1
of Jackson, Miss., died at his residence, 8
418 South Gallatin Street, in that city 8
on February 6th, after an illness of 2
about six weeks. I
Mr. Lemon was a ruling elder and
one of the founders of the Central t
Presbyterian church. Be was a native a
of Belfast, born in that stronghold of 1
Presbyterianism on March 29, 1830, and
the Emerald Isle has never furnished t
this country with a more typical Ulster- >
man, or a more loyal exponent and fol- c
lower of the Calvinistic faith. r
Mr. L?emon was descended from f
sturdy Scotch-Irish stock, his ancestors E
having been for many generations sea- t
faring folk on the Irish coast. He was r
reared in a devout Presbyterian atmos- (
phere, and In early life came under the ?
benePclent Influence of that world- t
famed divine. Dr. Henry Cook, by whom j
he was baptized into the church. t
Coming to America while still a {
youth in his 'teens, this strong-hearted f
TriPh lad followed a varied and eventful (
career in New York, St. L?ouls, New ,
Orleans and other cities, being sent to
.Tackson, Miss., shortly after the out- ,
break of the civil war to serve as military
yardmaBter, charged with the ,
\
duty of keeping the movement of troops
end commissary supplies for the Con- j
federacv 1n progress, which he succeeded
In dolnar until Jackson was captured
by the Federal Army.

rom active commercial life on a aubitantlal
competence. For more than
i score of years he was an active leader
in civic and religious affairs, serving
lixteen years as a member of the city

massed away in August, 1909, he was
he guiding spirit and most liberal conributor
towards the founding of the
"entral Presbyterian charcji, now one
>f the most flourishing congregations
n the Mississippi capital city. It was
:hrough his influence that the municipality
was induced to build the Poinlexter
public school, erected under his
personal supervision, and the street
m which it is located was named in his
lonor.
Funeral services were held at the
^entral Presbyterian church on Wednesday,
February 6th, in the presence
nf a large and sorrowing concourse,
conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. H.
Hill, assisted by Dr. J. B. Button, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church,
and Dr. H. A. Jones, pastor of the
Presbvterian church at Gulfport, fol
lowed by Interment in Greenwood
Cemetery.
Appropriate resolutions were adopted
t?y the Session of the church of which
Mr. f^emon was the senior member and
alder, and by the board of mayor and
aldermen of the city of Jackson, of
which he had been so valued a membe:.
The hour of dissolution was one of
sweet sanctity. Fully prepared to meet
ais Maker, with loved ones kneeling at
the bedside, and the pastor of his beloved
church breathing a fervent prayar,
the soul of this godly man winged
its flight to the Great Beyond, there
to join in happy reunion the loved ones
who had gone before.
In the growth and upbuilding of
Jackson Mr. T^emon had played a prominent
part. His purse was always open
to every appeal in behalf of charity,
ind in all activities of the church or
noral movements he was an active and
iggressive champion.
Deceased was the oldest living mem>er
of Mississippi Commandery No. 1,
{nights Templar, and that splendid
jand of Christian soldiers never had a
nore loyal mejnber. He is survived by
>ne sister, Mrs. Mary Jane Rea, of
ielfast, and five children: Mrs. Mary
Varkley Lewis, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Sugg
ind Mrs. Frederick Sullens, of Jackion;
Mr. George W. Lemon, of Chicago,
md Mr. James K. Lemon, of Gulfport,

The Jackson, Miss., Daily News, in a
>eautiful tribute to the life and charicter
of Mr. T^emon, concludes as folows;
"When a loved one whose life has
>een full of days, full of grace, full of
IOT1 Ore 1 rv* ^ ~ J" ?v- 1
iuii v?i guuu uccuo, who nas
(beyed his God and loved bis fellownen,
as can be truly said of this ventrable
citizen whose career has been
10 Indlssolubly linked with the splrltlal
and material affairs of Jackson for
learly a half century, passed down Into
he Valley ot Shadows, 'tis but like a
mnset beyond the horizon of life. He
ihall rise again, and when the mornng
of that resurrection dawns It will
isher In a day that has no clouds, a day
hat has no sunset, and a day that Is
'ollowed by no night of sorrow or of
leath?'They
set, as sets the evening star,
which goes
*Iot behind the darkened west, nor
hides
)becured among the tempests of the
akv,
*ut melta away Into the light of
heaven."
It 1? the petty vexation that often
loda the weak spot In a strong soul.
[ March 27, 1912.
You are guilty, and only Christ can
forgive; sinful, and only Christ can
cleanse; weak, and only Christ can
strengthen; wandering, and only Christ
can safely guide. There is wrath, from
which only Christ can deliver. You are
lost and only Christ can save. Come
t^ him as you are, poor, needy, naked,
empty, wretched; only come, and he
will receive you, and be your portion
forever.? Mason.
