Death of a Bright Boy<\/b>.<\/b>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Thomas B. ASHTON<\/b>, son of the late\u00a0James H. ASHTON<\/b>, died at the residence of his mother, Maury county, Tennessee, July 12th, 1869, aged about 18 years.\u00a0 He was a young man of extraordinary promise.\u00a0 His mind was of the very first order.\u00a0 His moral character unexceptionable.\u00a0 He was, in all respects, one of the most admirable young men whose death we have been called to mourn.\u00a0 He had been a professor of religion and member of the M.E. Church South, for two years.\u00a0 He met death calmly and triumphantly, and without a cloud or fear sweetly \u201cfell asleep in Jesus.\u201d\u00a0 We expect to meet him in the bright world above. \u2013 R.G. Irvine, July 20, 1869.<\/p>\n
