Obituary

Thomas SPRINGFIELD, an old and honored citizen of Hardeman county, died on the 18th of April 1867 in the 81st year of his age. He was a man of great energy, possessing traits of industry, perseverance and economy which enabled him to amass an ample fortune. He lived to see his family into the third generation – numerous and highly respectable – many of them true and loyal members of the Methodist Church. He sustained the reputation of a gentleman through life, a kind neighbor, feeling master, generous friend, and a noble patriot; a filial father and an affectionate husband, and true in all the business of life. He professed religion during his illness, and gave evidence of a brighter and a better mode of existence than the present. He appealed to the guileless Savior for help, and claimed deliverance through his glorious expiation made for the sins of all men. Expressions fell from his trembling lips which were cheering to his weeping children, and enhanced the glorious anticipation of meeting him in the pure sainted heaven above, to sing the ultimatum of eternal praise to God.
