TAYLOR, REV. JONATHAN
Rev. Jonathan Taylor was born January 15, 1826, and died January 21, 1899.
He was married to Sarah Ann Weeks on January 31, 1850. Was the father of
six children - four boys and two girls. He professed a hope in Christ in
1852 and joined the Baptist Church at Zion, where he remained a faithful
member for many years. Was liberated to preach the gospel in 1877. He was
strong in the faith of Christ, stood firm on the word of God, and taught
as the Apostle Paul. He was not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is
the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth as it is written,
"the just shall live by faith." In the death of Brother Taylor the Baptist
Church has lost one of the best disciplinarians. His work is done on earth.
He has gone from the walks of men to the paradise of God to await the
resurrection of the body, which will come forth fashioned like the glorious
body of Christ. Dear Brethren, let us pray for his wife and children. May
the Lord save and bless us all in his kingdom. Amen. - (1899 Minutes
of the Harmony Grove Baptist Association )

TERRELL, Miss ANNIE
We regret to chronicle the death of Miss ANNIE TERRLL which sad event occurred
at the home of her father, Mr. R. N. TERRELL on yesterday morning. She had
been ill with measles, which settled upon her lungs and produced pneumonia
from which she could not rally. ANNIE was a good girl and the news of her
death will send a pang of sorrow to the hearts of those who knew her, but
we have the assurance that her pure young spirit is safe in the arms of her
Savior. Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at this place yesterday
evening. - (Hamilton appeal, June 12, 1896)
TERRELL, CLAIRA
Died: On Sunday morning, July 28, 1895, CLAIRA, eldest daughter of Mr. R.
N. TERRELL and Mrs. DORA TERRELL, aged 1 year, 4 months, and 26 days. It
seems hard to part with our little ones, just as they are budding into life,
but “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.” We heartily sympathize
with the bereft parents in their sad bereavement, and commend them to the
words of Christ, while upon earth. “Suffer little children to come unto
me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” We know
that all who die in their infancy are received into glory, and are among
the Heavenly Angles. They cannot come back to us, but we can go to them.
Let us all so live that in the day of final account we may meet our loved
ones who have gone before, high up in Glory, where parting is unknown. -

In Memory of Little Claira: Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. N. TERRELL. Who Died
July 28, 1895 Aged 1 Year 4 Months and Twenty Days ‘Mid the sinless
little children Who have heard Christ’s “Come to Me,” Is this
lovely little cherub, Blest for ever more to be. Far beyond Death’s
gloomy valley Resting on His loving breast, Where the wicked cannot enter,
And the weary are at rest. It was sad to lose your darling Parents, let me
say to thee She is saved from care and sorrow, And from sin is ever free.
You will miss the little foot-falls Pattering all about the place, Miss the
touch of little fingers, And the winsome, tender grace. Of the baby, God
but lent you And hath taken back up there Where she’ll dwell amid the
angels And I say for you, this prayer. “May you through Christ’s
mediation Find your sins are all forgiven And that Claira’s face will
greet you AT the golden gates f Heaven. written by NELLIE LANA CARNES, Winfield,
Ala. August 2, 1895 - (Hamilton News Press, August 8,

THORN, JOE
JOSEPH H. THORN, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. THORN, died at the
family residence, about a mile from Hamilton, on Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock.
He was in his 18th year, and was an exemplary young man, being a consistent
member of the Methodist Church at Hamilton. He had been sick with fever for
some days, and on last Saturday evening inflammation of the brain set in
and he gradually sank until the summons came. To the grief-stricken aged
father and mother, brothers, and sisters, The News extends all the sympathy
that words can express. To all of us mortals here there must and will come
great trials and afflictions, and while we bemoan our sad lot it is but the
irony of fate. We all must see those we love and idolize here on earth taken
from us to that home beyond the skies. But there is a blessed hope that we
shall all be reunited after awhile in that place where sickness, sorrow and
pain are not known, and where death never comes. Funeral services
were held at the Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon by Revs. R. W. CLARK and
J. W. ROGERS, and the body was followed to the grave by a large concourse
of relatives and sympathizing friends. - (Marion County News, September

of their best of friends in their bereavement. - (Marion Herald,
