OBITUARY. Rev. Henry Franklin Buchanan, son of Jas. B. and Theresa (Clay) Buchanan, died August 10, 1896, at the age of seventy-four years. He was converted in 1841, and was baptized by the Rev. A. R. Almand at Cool Springs Church, DeKalb county, Ga. He was li¬ censed to preach by the first Bap¬ tist Church of Atlanta in 1852, and was ordained in 1854 at Dal¬ las, Paulding county, Ga., by Revs. Thornton Burk, Jas. Reeves and Jas. Peek. The first church¬ es he had the watch care of were Poplar Springs and Raccoon Creek, and these churches were rapidly built up in number and influence during the four years of his ministrations. He was the undersheperd of the Calhoun, (Gordon county) Baptist church, and also of the New Providence, the Macedonia, and the Swamp Creek churches. For five years he served New Hope church in Bartow county, Ga., and at one meeting Baptized 45 persons. Prior to the late rebellion his field of labor was in North Geor¬ gia, and since the war his work was mostly confined to Middle Georgia. In this section he had the watch care of Tanners, Indi¬ an Creek, Stone Mountain and Decatur churches, and following these he was the first pastor of the third Baptist Church of Atlanta remaining there for three years. We next find him in Newton county, Georgia, directing in the work for God in Zion, Rockdale county line and Salem churches. His next field of conquest was in Clayton and adjoining counties where he led in the affairs of Lib¬ erty Hill, Mount Ebal and Tirrah churches In 1844, in December he was married to Miss Francis Abbot of DeKalb county, Georgia, and there were born unto them three sons and one daughter. His wife and children survive him. Brother Buchanan did not have the advantages of a collegiate ed¬ ucation, yet he was fairly well ed¬ ucated. He was a self made man. He studied at nights aud durirg the spare moments. He made good use of his select library. In his best days he was strong and eloquent in the pulpit. He was constant and faithful in preach¬ ing the Scriptures and doctrines of the Baptist denomination. He was plain, practical and econo¬ mical, and thereby provided well for his family; and he shunned the debt folly. He was devoted to the church and its institutions, anc * the Sunday School as long as he was able to be car ried to the church. The upbuild i*>S of the church, the Sunday Sch ° o1 the Mission Work ’ aiid ’ the Educational Institutions were the things be talked the most of prior to his death. We recommend that a copy of the foregoing be furnished the family, and the Rockdale Banner and Conyers Wfeeyly and the Cbristain Index be requested to publish. By the committee. Real B. D.
