IN MEMORY OF BROTHER W. MURRY SMITH
Bro. W. Murry Smith was born August 6th, 1885, and departed this life May 21, 1912. He was married to Miss Mary Adair, December 26, 1880. They lived happily together thirty two years, were always so devoted to each other. We know it was hard to give him up. But God knoweth the best; He giveth, and He taketh away. So grieve not, bereaved ones, for our losss is Heaven's gain. He was born and raised in Jackson county, and was connected to one of the most prominent families of this country. He was widely known, and loved by everybody that knew him. He is greatly missed in his community, and especially in Oconee Baptist church, of which he became a member in heavenly life, and was ever faithful to its duties until death.
Resolved, 1. That we humbly bow in submission to His will, who said, "Blessed are they that die in the Lord; for they shall rest from all their labors, and their works do follow them"
2. That the church sympathize with his dear wife and loved ones in their sad hours of bereavement, and may they put their whole trust in Him who doeth all things well.
3. That a copy of these resolutions be spread on our minutes, a copy be sent to The Jackson Herald, for publication, and a copy be sent to the family.
