CAROLINA SPARTAN, AUGUST 5, 1891, PAGE 3 COLUMN 3
Mr. Isham Hurt died at his home near Bethlehem church July 28, 1891, he was born in Kentucky May 6, 1804 and was in his 88th year. When he came to this state he settled on the Forest (Fairforest Creek), two or three miles below the home where he died. He married a Foster (Annie), a daughter of "old uncle Billy Foster" (Mill Creek Billy), as he was called. He leaves four children, all daughters, (I can account for five children, all daugthers: Jane C. Hurt, wife of Alexander Bulman, Emily Ann (Emma) Hurt, wife of William James Steading, Martha Hurt, wife of a Mr. Wofford ( a widow in 1880 and 1900), Malinda Hurt and Mary Hurt, the latter two single and living with their sister, Martha Wofford in 1900. Jane Bulman was still living in 1889.) One is the wife of J. S. Stading. (I believe this should be W. J., for William James Steading). Another is a widow, a Mrs. Bobo, who lives with two unmarried daughters. (This last sentence would make more sence if it were stated as follow: Another is a widow, a Mrs. Bulman (or a Mrs. Wofford), who lives with two unmarried sisters.) Mr. Hurt was for years the authority in his church as to Bible interpretation. He was scrupulously honest in all his dealings, kind and considerate in his neighborly relations, upright in his every day life and remarkably truthful. The John G. Landrum once said of him: "I would take Isham Hurt's word as quick as I would of an Archangel from Heaven." For three years he was confined to his bed and he could not articulate distinctly for many days before his death. But just a day or two before he died, he called his brother in law, A. B. Foster (Abner Benson Foster). to him and said that the Lord had given him power to speak again he ten stated that he was ready to go. he bore ample temstimony of his assurance of salvation through Christ. After that clear statement he ask them to lay him down and let him depart. He then began to call his father and mother as though he were a little boy again and thus the good man passed away, leaving a worthy example for neighbors and friends to follow.
