Our beloved brother, Silas Pinkley, died in Jan. last, while on a visit to his brother, in West Tennessee. He left us in December, contemplating also to visit his son and daughter in Kentucky, but was seized by that dreadful disease, Pneumonia, and after a few days of suffering, departed to the land of spirits to await the resurrection. His family was expecting a letter that would bring the glad news of his safe arrival at the home of his son; but, instead, it bore tidings, sad tidings, that bowed their heads and rent their hearts with mourning. Bro. Pinkley was almost 75 years old; was born July 3rd, 1795. He was for 52 years a member of the Church, and was one of those who organized the Church at Antioch, Denton Co., Texas; was elected one of the Elders, and served the Church in that capacity till the time of his death. He was truly a shepherd of the flock. He raised eleven children to man and woman-hood, but seven of them had passed from earth before him, as had his beloved companion. Both wife and children were Christians. His affable disposition and honorable life won for him a large circle of friends. For more than half a century a member of the Church, his walk was ever worthy; his love for the Savior was "not in word only but in deed and in truth." His home was the home of the Gospel preacher. --Terrell Jasper, Gospel Advocate, April 7, 1870, page 330.
