Obituary:

Henry T. McLemore, son of Joel McLemore, was born in Logan County, Kentucky, August 19, 1837. He was converted at the age of 21, and joined Liberty Baptist church, same county. He married Miss Nancy B. King, daughter of John King, same county, on February 17, 1863. Ten children blessed this union, three dying in infancy. Those surviving are as follows: Miss Lucy, Statesboro, Georgia; James Stacker, Thomson, Georgia; Mrs. Jameson (Martha) Pearson, Woodburn, Kentucky; Albert King, Statesboro, Georgia; C.T., Statesboro, Ga.; Mrs Layton (Emma) Maddox, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Orville L., Statesboro, Ga.
His life was spent in the county and State of his birth, until his removal to Statesboro, Ga., January 3, 1905. He passed away on March 4, 1909. His health had been declining for about two and a half years. For about six weeks before his death he was confined to his bed, and then he passed to be with his Savior, for as he said, quoting the apostle, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."

During his last illness he exhibited remarkable patience in suffering, resignation to the will of his Lord, unbounded gratitude that his children were all Christians, and the tenderest solicitude in behalf of unsaved friends.

We commend the bereaved wife and children to the Great Comforter and cherish the hope to meet him in the house of many mansions.
