Well, the grim reaper, death,
has again thrust in his sickle
and took another one of our
good neighbors. This time it
was Mr. William H. Satterfield
who had attained to the ripe
old age of 82. His wife preced
ed him in death two or more
years ago; since that time Mr.
Satterfield had slowly declined
in health,, perhaps because of
the loss of his faithful com
panion.
When two people elect to walk
life’s paths together as man and
wife, they become as one. They
are like two giant trees grow
ing side by side. If we uproot
one tree, we will uproot the
other, or else tear its roots to
pieces so that in many cases the
other one dies before too long.
So it is with two close com
panions, Mr. and Mrs. William
Satterfield. Life loses its zest
and spice and becomes at once
so empty that there doesn’t seem
much left to live for. It is so
with all of us perhaps. In Mr.
Satterfield's case, the tragic auto
wreck in which one of his sons
was involved many months ago
and because of an injury, this
son has remained in a coma
ever since. Mr. Satterfield wor
ried about this beloved son of
his and the grief he felt per
haps hastened the end for Mr.
Satterfield. He lived a long and
useful life.
He was a son cf the soil, one
might say, for he had tilled the
scil most of his life. He loved
to see things growing in his
fields, and up until a ygar of
so ago, he still loved to work
in the garden patches. In his
day he had been one of those
champion cotton pickers Few
men could boast of such phy
sical strength and endurance;
even to the last he stood straight
and tall, his shoulders were
square his eye fearless. He
fought the battle of life with-a
grace and ease that few of ua
ever hope to do, and at the
memory of such a great old
character as he. we will always
have an impulse to take off
our hats in bowed reverence. In
some w ays he had different ideas
about the eternal things of God
than many of us, but he loved to
talk of his Lord and Master. He
often spoke of how people should
I live in this world.
He leaves a host of friends and
loved ones to mourn his going,
and to his children, and espec
ially to Mr. and Mrs. Roy Sat
terfield, who had kept and look
ed after their aging father and
mother for many years, we extend
our deepest sympathy and may
God reward Roy and Ruby for
their tender lovfe and care so
cheerfully given.
"ell. the days of fellowship at
County Line, with Rev. Jack Hol
comb as speaker, was enjoved bv
all present. -Jack'’ as he calls
himself, is widely known and
loved. He is seen much on tele
vision, and heard on radio also.
Just recently he conducted an all
night Biblethon on TV and had
many great speakers. No doubt
many of you saw' at least a part
of that wonderful program. Rev.
Jack preaches straight from the
shoulder. He enacted the return
of the Prodigal Son Sunday eve
ning at church, which made a
great impression op ail of us.
and he concluded with this
thought: That the most tragic
1 ing that can befall a person is
not Joss of wealth, health or lov
ed ones, but the loss of ones soul.
He has led many a poor benighted
soul to the saving grace of Jesus
Christ.
We are so sorry to have Hughie
Bonner leave us. He is a wonder
ful personage and ioved by all.
but he says God called him to
another field. Roy Burns will lead
the singing next Sunday and per
haps we will soon know who will
be obtained to fill Mr. Bonner s
place.
There will be a Christian mis
sionary next Saturday night at
Ihe church who will speak 1o
the young folk and show a relig
ious film. The goal for Sunday
School next Sunday is 200.
The two intermediate groups,
along with their two leaders. Mrs.
Lois Hamby and Mrs. Irwin Loyd,
and Mr. Bob Martin as bus driv
er, with several others, enjoyed
a wiener roast at South River Sat
urday. There were 16 members
and friends who enjoyed this oc
casion and they all reported an
enjoyable time.
