with others, left that church to form the Fourth
Baptist, now the Citadel Square Baptist Church.
Shortly after the formation of the church, he
was installed into the deaconship, which office
he filled at his death. Brother Henerey was a
man Of strict integrity. He was unfinching in
duty. answering In Christian principle, sound
in faith and doctrine, of cheerful, hopeful
temperament, and displayed an abiding trust
in God. When pressed down with trouble, his
comfort was that his God, in whom be trusted,
would yet take care Of him, that he never had
deserted him. Since the formation OF this
church he has held, in the position OF deacon,
the charge of the poor fund, and faithfully, and

the predominating traits Of his character, did
he discharge the trust imposed upon him, and

man and Christian he was highly esteemed by
his fellow.men. Liberal in all good works, at
the formation of the Fourth Baptist Church he,
for three years, gave that organization all Of

deed. OF the males who were the constitute
