JEREMIAH COOK, Sr., aged 72 years. He wa.
born in Tennessee, soldier in the war Of 1872,

until about four years ago, when he emigated TO
Georgia -.
He was most emphatically a good man in every
relation OF life. A devoted husband and aiher,
an ndulgent MASTER and most disinteresled friend.
The poor and needy never left his door without such
aid and comfort as he able to give. Around the
bed Of suffering and sorrow he was the sympathising
aud faithful neighbor. And frequently in the trou-
the writer OF this humble tribute to real worth and
merit, has the strong bosom heaved and the
gushing tears Of the kind and good man fallen,
though no ties Of consangunity existed. Twas but
the ouipouring Of full and benevolent spirit-a
generous and warm sympathy. And moreover this
esteemed friend was q most sincere Christian, rs
tho members Of the Ggal and neighboring Church
cs will unanimously testify.
In his last moments he expressed his entire will
ingness to die and be with the Saviour he had 20
long served while his family and neighbors will
long remember the curnest exhortations to live
faithfully and be ready when death should claim
them. Blessed is he that considereth the poor
the Lord will deliver him in time Of trouble.'

The subject Of this notice was born in Amherst
County, Virginia, on the pod November l776. Her
father John Whitley, emigrated to Edge6eld, near
Chappcll's Ferry, in l77d. In Oct. 1909, she WAS
baptized. In the following year the Church at
Chesnut Hill was organized, and, among the little
band Of worshippers that gathered under the slad-
dows Of the dense forest to do honors to its Almgh-
ty Architect, there remained but two, Mrs. Gull
breath and her brother-in-law, Edward Culbreatl.
She has now gone, and he alone is left solitary
light Of the prmeval band!
The individual characteristics Of this good woman,
and faithful disciple. can be summed up in q few
words. She was verify mother in Israel-a prop
and support TO the Church, both in precept and e1-
ample. She endeavored to nculcate the great prin.
cpe Of the religion of Jesus into her children and
grand children and friends. She practiced that,
that she professed and has gone to receive the
Crown Of Glory prepared before the foundation OF
the world.
She died of a most agonizing disease, but her
faith in her Redeemer failed not. And when at
last the angels came on their glad mission TO bear
the redeemed spirit to the upper and better king
dom, she breathed her last sigh in full confidence
and hope. 5. A. l..
