The Passing of a Good Man.
Quietly, peaceably, as had always been
his life, he passed away. Like a trand
old patriarch of old, surrounded by his
twelve children and numerous grand
children, Mr. Albert Greene Pirkle, on
the 22nd of January, surrendered his life
to the God, who gave it, Nobly, right
nobly, did he perform his mission on
earth. Ilis plain, unassuming, godly life,
is a good index to that fuller and nobler
life to which we know he has been called,
Mr. Albert Pirkle was a nobleman, be
cause he was good ; he prized virtue and
truth far more than the empty praise of a
multitude.
Was he brave? Was he a true soldier?
Did you ever hear him boast of his valor
in war or peace? Did he exploit his
deeds of heroism ? B*t he was a hero, a
true soldier just the same. He was a hero
because he left a young wife and babe>
left home and friends at his country’s
first call and offered his life to his coun
try. He was a soldier true because be
stood by to the last, till the laying down
of arms. Never did he shirk his duty
then nor since. Like all true men he did
not want to be rewarded for duty, he
counted that as his debt to God.
Mr Pirkle married Celia Caroline,
daughter of the late Mr. K D. Phillips,
and to them was born twelve children, all
of whom are living.
For a score or more yea s Mr, Pirkle
was a deacon in the Baptist church, and
at the time of his death he was a conse
crated member of Coal Mountain church
From personal knowledge I speak of
Mr. Pirkle. and I am persuaded that
there are very, very tew men as conscien
tious as was he. Fo • thirteen years 1
have known him in his home iife, and
never once has he done or said one thing
that was not befitting a Christian gentle
man.
And there was sometimes a Git of hu
mor about him, too. Over in Cumming
one day a gentleman asked nim if he
chewed tobacco. Mr. Pirkle remarked
‘■Why, no, I don’t even cus-.”
Clean in his life, upright in his walks,
hont-st in his dealing-, quick to do his
duty, a splendid citizen, an affectionate
father and husband, Forsyth county has
lost one of her very best men and tho’
his presence and council will be sadly
missed, and his place remain vacant in
the home, in the church and in the com
munity, we have the abiding faith that
our loss is the gain in heaven,
No testimony I can give is as worthy a
eulogy of him as can lie found on the
clean white pages he lived in his book of
ilie.
