Townsend Not only a unique but a great character was the subject of this sketch, who early in November past closed up his busy and very useful career here, to enter as I believe, a grander and more glourous one beyond. He was born some 63 years ago on the same farm near Wildwood, Ga., where he spent his life an# from which he passed to his reward, and in the old family graveyard on its highest hill top his poor worn, exhausted body was laid to rest. A most devoted wife, two loving sisters, two noble sons, good and faithful nephews and neices, and a great host of sincere friends walk with truly 6addeBed hear ^ at ?? ing away, and . will ever hola m deep , and , true . reverence _______ , his • Brother Townsend was not a perfect man, did not claim tc be, but he was an honest, sin- bl « r< ? heart dependable fuli of sympaty one with . for . suffering humanity. He was one of the most loyal of friends and though a partisan in both politics a nd religion yet his soul w 11s too large to harbor ill will or malice against those who disagreed with him. H( , was a public official for mos t {) f ds active life, Squire the’ „ Bm Bill” „ Townsend Townsend served served the public, in place of trying him. He; to j make the public serve all that was sincere and genuine but despised show, hy- pocracy and formalism. I could write more of this “ bU ‘ That November afternoon as j s ^ 00 d near the broken-hearted J i 0V ed ones, and looked out upon a great company of as ti uly sad hearted mourners as ever gath- ere d about the bier of one thev revered and loved, the choir began to sweetly sing an old song—his favorite song,I caught a new vision of my friend. A g rea t soul with firm hold and fixed purpose clinging to the ‘‘Rock of Ages”, while the storms of life fiercely beat upon him. I, and you shall clasp his hand again, and shall. hear hia voice once more in the 1 i an d 0 f unending day. Barton McFarland Patronize Our Advertisers !! 1\7l | 7 > 1 Ji CARROLL HARDWARE CO.
