Arch Brown Passes Peacefully Away, After a Short Illness, at Ills Home In Locust drove. Mr, Arch Brown is dead! This announcement is not only a sad blow to Locust Grove, hut the sorrow it brings her people is sincerely shared bv his fellow eiiuens of Henry oounty, who esteemed him in life, besides a number of friends throughout the State. On Friday morning, January 16th, 1891, at 5 o’clock, the spirit of Archi bald Brown took its flight from earth into eternity—and with It went out the life of one of the “noblest works of God, an honest man,” a pure, upright gentleman —all that goes to make a good citizen. He was sick only about one week, with pneumonia, and his death was a sad surprise to his family and friends. His health up to the time of his sud den sickness had been good, and he had been continually iu active life. Air. Brown was one of Henry coun ty’s most prominent and useful citizens. He served through the Confederate war, battling bi avely for the “lost cause,” returning home at its close to find his property swept away and his home desolate. But instead of “sitting in the shadow of the past and dream ing of its departed glories,” he reso lutely entered anew into the battle of life. As a natural result of determin ed energy, success crowned his efforts and soon his broken fortunes were re gained, illustrating effectively the in junction that “whatsoever thy hands findeth to do, do it with all thy might.” Air. Brown was a true friend and bem factor to the poor, never failing to respond to the calls of charity, and this class will treasure many grateful mem ories of his kind deeds, which will live long after him. ile held the confidence aud esteem of his entire people, who honored him several times with offices of trust. In 1884 he was chosen as one of the can didates for the legislature, and lacked only tlnee votes of defeating perhaps the most popular min iu the county, being elected as Representative the following term of ’B6 and ’B7 without opposition. His second race with no opposition was a complimentary recog nition of his strongth with his people. He was honest and upright in all his dealings with his fellow-tx.au, and his example in this stands as a bright bea con to those of this generation who are inclined to stray from the paths of leetitude. He was a Mason and a con sistent member of the Baptist church. Arch Brown was faithful as a friend, hom-st as a man, loving and indulgent as a hush ind and father, “as a Chris tian humble as a little child, trusting implicitly in the merits of his blessed Savior.” His wife and several grown children survive him to mourn his loss, aud “may the Good Shepherd soften the blow that has deprived them of his presence and society, and may they, through the eye of Faith, hope to meet him again in that land where there i» no death, nor parting, hut peace and joy and rest forever more, l’eace be to his ashes—rest and eternal life to his soul." Mrs. fi. P. Nolley Dead. Last Wednesday evening the an nouncement of the death of Mrs. Lydia P. Nolley was leceived with sorrow by her numerous friends in McDonough. This sad event occurred at the home of her son-in law, Dr. J. M. McDonald, of this place, where she had come from her home in Atlanta to hi treated by her gi and ton, Dr. Chas. D. McDonald. The cause of her death is attributed to heart failure. Mrs. Nolley lias been a great suffer er for some time, and hut few beside the immediate members of the family realized that she was dangerou ly ill Her iuterment took place the day after her death, in the cemetery, at this place. A large number of friends were present to pay their last tribute of re spect fo the dead. Mis. Nolley was a ; out eighty-one years of age at the time of her death, and was a resident of this place the greater part of her life. She leaves several children, many relatives and numarous friends to mourn her loss. She nas a consistent member of the Methodist church at the time of ter death, and had been for many years. While v e realize that her children and friends can but mourn her loss, we feel that her noble example will still live among tlteui, an incentive to discharge well the duties of this life, so that when “Dead shall touch then with his cold icy hand” they shall join her iu tj e eternal city of Cod. She lived the life of i 4 Christian, died the death'of the righte< us, and has gone to reap the reward of the just.
