OBITUARIES
Fields
Mr Jesse Fields was born in Pickens County, SC, June 14th (?), 1812 and died
Monday, November 3(?), 1902, after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Fields
was one of the most remarkable men that the south ever produced. Although
quiet and unpretentious, ________. He was thrice married and raised a
family of ten children. All but one survive him and he lived to see his
posterity reach into the third and fourth generation. He was a faithful
member of the Baptist church and always said that he was ready to obey the _____
of his Master... (long article, but contains no other family information that I
can see.)
Brown
Mrs DC Brown died Friday, October 31st, after a brief illness, and was
buried at Clarkesville, Ga. All that loving care and medical skill could
do was done to heal the gentle sufferer, but the Great Physician, with balm for
every sufferer, gently touched her tired eyelids into sleep and _____ her pure
spirit to that far away home of the soul, where she wears a starry crown, the
reward of a faithful Christian life, full of good deeds, love and charity for
all who came within the reach of her gentle influence. The death of a
woman like Mrs. Brown, in life’s ________ of usefulness and opportunity, is
indeed pathetic to the family, to the church, and to society. And yet,
although taken away just when life was fairest and best, it is beneficial that
she lived to act faithfully and well her part in life and to build upon the
foundations of her Christian faith an enduring character which shall outlive all
the storms and survive..... May heaven shower its richest blessings
upon our desolate and bereaved pastor and reach him....(rest unreadable.
