    • At Rest. 

      One of Newton county's most respected citizens has passed from labor to rest. Mr. George W. Carpenter was born in Cooper county, Mo., Nov. 27, 1842.  Was married to Miss Hettie A. Pulley in Pettis county, Mo. Dec. 23, 1964. To this union was born seven children, four boys and three girls. All of them are living except one girl. who died in infancy. The children are all grown and married and are living in Newton county. All of them doing well.  All of them are members of the Mt. Olive Baptist church except one. Bro. Carpenter moved from Cooper county to Ark., and lived there a short time, then moved to Newton county. Mo, and settled the farm where he died.  Hi professed faith in Christ in Sept., 1873. while at work on his farm. He at once united with the Liberty Baptist church, and in the spring of 1874 was ordained a deacon. The Liberty church went down and he united with the Baptist church at Jolly, and later on went in to the organization of the Mt. Olive church of which he was a faithful, devoted member and deacon till death. He was a success as a farmer and by hard work and honest dealings bad gathered about him considerable  property. He was in poor health for more than a year and was taken bad with stomach trouble last February from which he suffered greatly. He bore his suffering with great patience, and was never heard to murmur, but often expressed himself as ready and willing to go.  He arranged all of his business some time ago, and patiently waited the summons which came at 3:30 A M. June 20, 1903. The family were all at his bedside when the end came, and he sweetly and peacefully passed away without a struggle. Everything that loving hands and skilled physicians could do was done, but to no avail. He was a kind and affectionate husband, a tender and loving father, a generous and honorable citizen, and a consecrated and humble follower of the Blessed Master.  He will be greatly missed in the home, in the church and in the community. The funeral was conducted by the writer June 21, at 11 A M in the Mt Olive church, in the presence of the largest assembly I have ever met at that place, after which his body was laid to rest in the Mt. Olive cemetery to await the resurrection trumpet. Bro. Carpenter donated the land for the cemetery and was the first one buried in it.

      May the good Lord bless the bereaved family, and the sorrowing church.
