It is with sadness that I try in my weakness to write a short sketch ofBrother Andy Hall. He was born 23 February 1856, and departed this life10 May 1936; aged 70 years and 27 days.
Brother Andy was married to Susie Isaacs at an early age, and untothis union nineteen children were born. Thirteen lived tomaturity---eight boys and five girls. Three of the girls and one boy havepassed this life, leaving nine children,
seven boys and two girls; also a host of grandchildren to mourn hisloss.Brother Andy became ill and lay on his bed for about three years andwhile in this condition, I visited his bedside many times. He becamedesirous of doing his master's command, so Brother Andy Slone announced ameeting for him and Brother
Scott Burkes opened church door to receive members. He showed signs ofwanting to become a member of the church, and was baptized by BrotherBurks.
I want to appeal to his children to remember the example laid beforeyou, by your poor father, and try to be ready to meet him in a betterworld.He bore his sickness patiently and I feel sure that his suffering is nowover. I feel that his spirit is at rest in the paradise of our God whilehis body sleeps in the little graveyard on the head of Dry Creek.
Children, I want to say to Will and Sister Flossie, that you kept him inyur home for which I believe you will be rewarded. His favorite hymn was:"Come think on death and judgement,
Your time is almost spent.
You have been a wretched sinner;
'tis time that you repent."Written by W.B. Mullins
