RESOLUTIONS BY
THE CUMBERLAND
BIBLE CLASS

W. R. Bailey departed this life
May 10th, 1919. He leaves devoted
wife and five children to mourn his
loss. At the time of his death he
was holding the office of Trustee for
Greene county, serving in his third
term, having first been elected to
this most responsible position in Au-
guest, 1914.
No man who has ever served the
people of Greene county as trustee
did it more acceptably to the general
public, and was more popular as a
upblic servant than was Riley Bal
ley.
He was faithful to all the duties
which the office imposed upon him;
always courteous, pleasant and i'm
mediately responsive to all the de-
mands of critical public, and thus
won the love and esteem of all the
Taxpayers in Greene county.
He was also, at the time of his
death, member of the High School
Board for Greene county, in which
capacity he had served with distinc-
ton, good judgment and honor. As
member of this board he will be
greatly missed. His wise council,
clear judgment, and far seeing Wis
ion, made him an indispensable men,
Der of this important board, and his
place will be hard to fill.
He was always found on the right
side of every question touching the
moral uplift of the community in
which he resided, and gave freely of
his time, energy and means, in sup
port of all measures affecting the
public veal.
He was valuable citizen of the
town in which he lived, and his early
demise has cast a gloom over the cit
izenship of Greeneville that time
alone can remove.
In his home life he was a faithful
husband, always faithful and true to
the duties and responsibilities incl
dent to the home-life. He always
provided for the necessities of the
home, and, so far as he was able, the
luxuries as well.
He was a devoted father and was
always interested in the welfare of
his children, giving them the best ed
ucational advantages at his command.
He was member of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Bible Class and,
until incapacitated by illness, was a
faithful and regular attendant, and
no member was more beloved by all
the class than he. He will be greatly
missed by this class, and these reso-
utions are prepared by committee
appointed by the president of the
class, attesting the high esteem in
which Mr.. Bailey was held and ex-
oressive of the great loss felt in his
removal from our midst.
The vacant seat will be constant
'eminder of our comrade and friend
md the memory of this good man will
niger long in the affections of the
,ntire membership of the class to
which he was so much devoted.
Resolved, therefore, That: we bow
n humble submission to the ways of
knowing full well that
God. doeth is right, and
While we, now, see through glass
arkly, and cannot understand the
Mysteries of God, we have the COM
orting assurance that hereafter we
hall know, for then we shall see face
o face. Then we shall know, even,
lso, as we are known.
Resolved, (2.) That, the Cumber
md Presbyterian Bible Class do ex-
end to the family our sincere and
eart-felt sympathy and prayers.
Resolved, 60 That, these resolu-
ons be published in the Greeneville
apers, and also a copy be sent to the
amily. K
