Gospel preacher. From the Gospel Advocate: "On Sunday, May 6, my husband, Samuel H. Austin, became seriously ill because of an ulcer hemorrhage. He passed away on Tuesday, May 15. His suffering was intense and he would cry to his Lord for mercy. He was a faithful minister of the gospel for over forty years and stood firm for the truth at all times. He preached in Texas, West Virginia, Michigan, Kentucky and Mississippi. He was forced to retire about four years ago because of illness. We lived at the Church of Christ Home for Aged at Romeo, Mich., for about three and one-half years. At that time we came to Lansing, Mich., to make our home with my son, Paul L. Watson and his wife. He was laid to rest in Woodlawn Cemetery, Detroit. The funeral was conducted in Lansing by my son, Paul. Harmon Black conducted the services at the cemetery. There is now a loneliness and emptiness in my heart difficult to describe. I believe that my husband is now "safe in the arms of Jesus." May God give me strength and courage and faith to live such a life so as to meet him in the home "over there." I entreat your prayers in this time of heartache and sorrow." --- Mrs. S. H. Austin, Gospel Advocate, June 14, 1956, page 557.
