15 years ago. He always filled his seat as long as he was able. Brother George was baptized by Elder Frank Hopkins. They both belonged to the Little Creek Church.
I can say as a truth that the old church has lost two of the best members they had in their fellowship. I can say we have lost two good members and the community has lost two good neighbors. I can say for myself that I did enjoy talking with them concerning the Bible and on a hereafter.
We believe that when they departed this life they met with children and their brethren and sisters and we believe that they know each otter. Brother George and Sister
Arminda, only seven days difference in their deaths, we feel they did not have to stay away from each other long. They were laid in the Potter Graveyard at the Mouth of Little Creek to await the great resurrection morning when the .trumpet of God sounds then they will awake out of their sleep. What a happy time that will be for the children of God. The funeral of Brother G. W. and his good wife will be preached the last day of July and the first of August, 1954 at Yeager. Kentucky.
Father and mother are not dead, but only sleeping, just waiting to hear our Good Master say while the little birds are sweetly singing, their graves are sweetly sinking away.
