VIM. s. McREYNoLDs died of typhoid fiux
at his residence in GAINESVILLE, July 6, 1881,
aged 50 years.
but moved to GAINESVILLE, Tenn, at the age
of II years, where he has resided ever since,
plying his avocation of honest toll among a
people who honored and loved him in life,
and now mourn him dead. He was the
highest type of man "a Christian = and
spent nearly his whole life in the active en-
terprises of the Methodist church, of which
he was a worthy member. He was one of
the builders of the Methodist church erected
ON Franklin street in lS4l and was one of
the committee of three appointed to build
the new church on Madison street. He had
been thirty years teacher in the Sunday
school of the Methodist church, and last
Sunday sent message to his class: "Tell
them, God bless them, do not disperse on
account of my absence 1 hope TO be with
them soon" But alas three days after
ward, one of the fatal seQtGeta of his dreadful
malady occurred, and he went to his account.
When next his class assemble on earth, he
viii be enjoying the reward of his labors in
heaven.
He had served many years as a steward
in the church, and, indeed, his heart beat
responsive to the call of every duty; and
though he was not demonstrative or vocif-
erous in his religion, he was a living exem-
plifcation of Christianity. " Mark the per-
feet man, and behold the upright, for the
end of that man is peace"
