The death of Rev. J. F,
McCutchen, which occurred at his
home near Wbiteville, Tenn, on
Dec. 81, 1895, deserves more than
a simple announcement. This
good man reached the ripe age of
years. His days were
full of usefulness, and his acts were
for the benefit and elevation of his
fellow-man. The history of his life |
is one continual devotion to the
Masters calling. No man knew
Mr.. McCutchen but to love him.
He was christian gentleman in the
highest sense of the term. His ia
miliar figure, kindly advice and |
words of comfort will be missed
but we must remember that he was
spared to us for a remarkable length |
of time. He has discharged his |
duty on earth-discharged it faith
fully, and has gone to his reward |
in heaven. The following incident !
will give an insight to the character
of the deceased: For some time
prior to his death, the old gentle
man was unable to leave his room,
confined to his bed. He prayed |
fervently that God might spare his
life a short while In order that he
might go to Whiteville and pay a
few small bills he owed. His pray
er was answered. A few days be-
fore the end came, he was able to
be driven to Whiteville. Too fee
BILE and weak to leave his buggy, he
instructed those to whom he was in
debted to come to him and present
their bills. They did so, and he
paid them. He returned home at
peace with all the world. Death |
relieved him of his sufferings a short |
time afterwards.
