PARMENAS P. TRANSOU 1817-1883:
Died, at his residence in Madison County, Tenn., July 25, 1883, P.P. TRANSOU. He was born in Stokes county, N. C., July 14, 1817; was the eldest son of Peter and Ann Transou; emigrated to Madison county, and married Mary Jeffreys in 1840. When quite young he began to serve the Lord, uniting himself with the Methodist Church, where he lived a faithful and consistent member until called to come up higher. He was faithful in his vows to the Church, acting as steward for quite a number of years; punctual in attendance, and liberal in supporting its institutions. He has gone to enjoy the companionship of his sainted wife, but leaves a devoted son, and brother and sister, together with a large circle of relatives and friends, to mourn their loss; but we mourn not as those who have no hope, for we have the sweet assurance that our loss is his gain. He spoke often of death during his protracted illness, and seemed to look forward to it as a sweet rest, but would often say he was willing to suffer the Lord's will, which he did with patient resignation and Christian fortitude. His religion was his support and joy in sickness, and his only comfort in death. A kind Christian neighbor, a true husband, and loving father is now standing on the other shore, "watching and waiting" for loved ones; and may we all continue to imitate his noble and worthy example, until we meet beyond the river.E.

A memoir written by SARAH BURUS:
THE DEAR OLD DAYS
Mr. Editor: — In reading "Dr. McFerrin's Centenary Memories" my mind ran back to the first camp-meeting I attended. My heart glowed with joy, and, from some cause, I know not what, I felt a strong desire to write, though incompetent. My father died at the first settling of North Alabama in 1838. I was thirteen years old, and had very little advantages of schools. I learned to read and write. We were living in North Alabama. On the opposite side of Chatooga river there was a camp-ground called Grey's Camp-ground. I have lost the exact date, but forty years ago, or near it, two of my brothers put in some provision with other families and all tented together. These two brothers, my youngest sister, and myself went to the camp-meeting. Since then and now there have been many and varied changes. But amid all these changes some early incidents and experiences remain as vivid in my memory as if they had transpired yesterday. One is the principal preacher at the camp-meeting. He was rather small, with dark skin, and black hair, and I think his name was Evans. When he would preach the holy fire would burn in the hearts of the good old folks. The brothers would laugh, and the Amens would be heard.My oldest brother, William, was a seeker of religion. He did not profess during the meeting. What was best and most lasting with me was my own experience. After the 11-o'clock service they had taken me to the tent where we were staying in an almost unconscious state. When the Lord spoke peace to my soul the light came. I was soon shouting aloud, and praising the Lord. Some were shouting in the tent. Many people had gathered round the tent-door. Some climbed up on the tent, as it was made with poles. The lady of the tent tried to get me to eat something; I could not-I was feasting on heavenly manna. My youngest sister, Elizabeth, professed Monday night. A young lady, Polly Ann Bell, if I mistake not, dressed in black silk in mourning for her mother, had professed. She, my youngest sister, and myself sat on the same seat side by side. We were exceedingly happy. So many shouts were heard at that meeting! It seemed in those days people went to meeting to preach and pray. Shouting and praising the Lord was no disgrace.
Some years after this those two brothers joined in tenting with an old local preacher by the name of Rayburn, at Mudd Creek Camp ground, where we had good times. One night during service this youngest sister received such a blessing that she lay as dead until next morning. There was rejoicing in the tent all night. At daylight she rose shouting. O, what happy times! When we get to heaven from this world of toil and suffering, and see Jesus as he is, will we be any happier? What a blessed hope is ours!
John McGhee, my father, if he were living, would be 88 years old. Solomon McGhee, his brother, and now living in Perry county, Ark., must be 80 or 90 years old. He is a living witness of the night above referred to, and he shared in the joy.
In the year 1860 my husband died, and left me a widow with five children to raise. My oldest was 13. I have much to thank God for. All my children have professed religion while young. Feb. 14, 1884, I was 50 nine years old, and have had only two spells of sickness to be waited on; can work, and can walk two miles visiting.
I am a full-blooded Methodist. Before my conviction I did join a little in worldly amusements. Ever after my conviction I refused all participation in these worldly pleasures. I have had no desire to do so, but felt it to be wrong. I think no member of the Church should. I have steadily looked heavenward for joy. To me the joy that cometh down from above is of more value and is more precious than all this world can give.
