DR. MCDONALD PASSES AWAY

Our venerable fellow citizen Dr. H.H. McDonald, departed this life last Sabbath night, the first day and the first Sabbath of May 1904. He passed away from the early Sabbath to enter the Sabbath above, that rest which remains for the people of God. The writer of this tribute knew him well for more than 40 years.

Dr. McDonald was a good, quiet, inoffensive citizen. He was a kind father and a tender husband. He lived the life of a christian and his last end was peace. There was no dimming cloud between his vision here and that upper, better and greater world. He seemed willing to depart and be with Christ his loving saviour. His work was done and God took him.

He had the sweet satisfaction of seeing a lovely family around him while on his dying couch ministering so attentively and kindly to all his wants. Thus did these excellent children all sooth their parent's heart and soften his dying pillow. Such loving kindess from children to parent never goes unrewarded.

After religious services at the Presbyterian church in the presence of a vast congregation of sympathizing friends and neighbors, all that was mortal of our dear brother, so kind and true, was consigned by the Masonic fraternity to their last resting place in the East View cemetery.

The above paragraphs were taken from a tribute published in the Conyers, Georgia Weekly Banner to the father of Mrs. J.D. Weathers and Mrs. J.F. Turner of this city.
