Angel of death visited our home
and took for its victim our dear
old grandfather, Mr. A p Griggs.
He had been sick for more than q
month and his death was not an
expected. All that loving hands
could do was done to restore him
to health, but all to nc avail. He
was i'll his 92nd year, being born
September 14th 1912, had been a
resident of Cobb county for 50
years and lived most of that time
III this community But few men
possessed such u cheerful and live
ly disposition as he did, always
cheerful under any circumstances
and doing unto others as he would
have them do to him. He had
been consistent member of the
M e Church for 63 years, cerving
rs steward and class leader as
long as his health would permit.
He expressed himself as being
ready for the summons, gave us
some orders as to his burial, told
us to 1--we right and meet him in
heaven. He and his aged wife
had lived together p years one
month and II days. just before
he died he took her by the hand
babe her goodbye, soon to meet
in Heaven. We miss him oh so
much but we have the precious
promise of meeting him where
parting is no more on the bright
eternal shore. The funeral serv-
Ices were conducted by Rev Wal
ter Meacham assisted by Rev VT

May 9th, at ten o'clock, after
which his body was laid to rest in
cemetery here. The casket was
