Uncle Johnny was not only one of our oldest citizens but he was one of the most quiet, useful and honored citizens, and died without an enemy. He lived 50 years on one farm. He has been a faithful member of the Missionary Baptist Church for many years. He lived the life of a Christian, and he said a few hours before he died, "that he was trusting the God that had cared for him through life." His wife died Feb. 16, 1883. Uncle Johnny and Aunt Susie lived together 46 years and reared seven children -- 5 boys and 2 girls-- who are all living but one. Their work is done and their troubles are over and they are now resting peacefully side by side. The relatives have the sympathy of the entire community."
