from our Board of Deacons, and from
his leadership in our church, u be-
loved and highly esteemed brother,
Samuel j. Justice;
And whereas. Brother Justice, born
OF strong and honorable parentage
was from his youth of Industrious n
frugal habits, and closely applied him
self to the attainment of useful know
ledge, and careful to improve every
opportunity that came to him, pro-
cured for himself a good practical
education, the position of leader in
the community, and successful Las;-
ness-man; and yet, he was free-heart-
ed and charitable to a fault;
/. And Whereas, in the County and
State, Brother Justice was a patrio-
tic and loyal citizen, and always ready
to assume, and discharge every duty
that fell to his lot;

tan Religion, and more than so years
ago, Joined the Baptist Church al Re
fuSe in this county; and about &c
years later removed to Henderson
vile, and became a member Of the
First Baptist Church, and a few years
later, was chosen, set apart and or
dained a deacon, which position he
continued to hold to- the end of his
life, and was chairman of the Board
of Deacons for the 10 years Just pass.
And whereas, Brother Justice was |
well known for his faithfulness, re-
sourcefulness, usefulness, and stead
fastness in all matters pertaining to
the Church and the Denomination: /
and for his steadfast and abiding faith
in God, yet he was humble and never
s~elf-seeking, which characteristics
were beautifully exempliied in his
be said of him in the final services
over his remains, but rather that the
occasion, his faith in God, and his
life-work, be mentioned only as the
same would exalt the Saviour, and
help others to receive Him.;
