OBITUARY.
Dr. Jeremiah Parker, the subject
of 4-his notice, waa born in Washing
ton county, Ga., November 18, 1810,
a,, d departed this life June 12. 1886,
in the seventieth year of his age.
After he had arrived at the years
of majority, he studied medicine,
and graduated from the Atlanta
medical college, after which lie lo
cat( , -‘d . neai ... YV nghtsville, . , where lie
soon did a lucrative and successful
praclict , Lat( . in life he connectcd
himself with thoM.K. church where
to tin* time of his death, he led an
upright, [ Christian life; generous al
n ost t0 a fauU> sl5H in doing alms,
he did it not to “be seen of men,”
but rather that his “right hand
should not know what his left did.”
We have known Dr. Parker inti
mately for twenty-five years, have
been with him upon the tented field,
where the true character of a man
was exhibited, and through many of
the varied walks of private life, and
during the whole of that time never
knew him to abet, countenance, or
wink at wrong or the semblance of
wrong; always at all times and in
everything, carrying himself perfect¬
ly upright fellow-men, and perpendicular before
his and the world. Tn a
word wo looked upon Dr. Darker as
one of t he purest and best men that
ever lived; being naturally very re
tired and unobtrusive, he would nev
er he taken for his real worth.
He left a small circle of relatives
and a host of near and dear friends
to mourn his death; and now that
he lias lived out his three score and
ten, we feel assured in saying that
is his life was of the most exempla
ry kind, that hisexit from this to the
spirit land was only to be transplant
<‘d with the faithful few that have
gone before him. T.et those of us
that arc left behind strive to emulate
Itis inanv virtues. Pmi.us.
