tiers of coincidence. Rev. George C..
Taylor, Of Newport News spoke of
his kindly association and knowl-
edge of Sir Green Penn as Christ
ian and as a friend to society and as
a gentleman of high esteem. He was
honest and truthful in all his deal
ings with men. He rose from the
lowly walks of life to higher achieve

the days of small things. He was
quite humble, always putting the
Lord first in matters Of business.
Friendly he was to all men.
We met the deceased about thirty
we remained friends at all times and
we hope to emulate such friendship
with all men as that Of the late
Green Penn and M. Stanfeld
Rev. W. R. Howerton delivered
the eulogy in most sympathetic
and consoling manner, commencing
all present to profit by the life Of
the deceased whom it had been his
pleasure to serve as pastor many
years ago at Martinsville. His dis
course was based on the text, "He
that gathereth in summer is wise
son." which was very applicable in
the life of this man whose parents
had died when he was quite young,
his father being the first to 60. He
took care of his mother when quite
young and never failed to provide
for her during her lifetime. A no
BILE man has fallen.
