"IN MEMORY OF REV. J. W. DAVID - Rev. J. W. David was born in 1794, and died on the 29th of August 1871, in the 77th year of his age. He embraced the Christian religion and joined the Dove's Ceek Bptist Church in 1818, and was ordained and set apart to the work of the gospel ministry, the 3rd day of November, 1834, by Elders F. Callaway, James Mathews, Phillip Mathews, Asa Chandler, P. P. Butler, and James Da----. Brother David was an humble, unassuming minister of the gospel, seeming, by his appearance, to think others better than himself, and seemed always willing to hear, rather than to be heard, when several ministers were present at a place of worship at the same time. He labored faithfully, while in the prime of life, ---- his Master's cause. In his old age, being feeble and of a modest disposition, he, to some extent, retired from the public duties of the ministry. He was a member of Mt. Zion Church, Muscogee County, Ga. at the time of his death, which church he served faitfully as pastor, two years while in the prime of life. He died happy, and expressed that he would soon enter into the full enjoyment of the heavenly rest. He was interred in the family burying ground, attended by a large concourse of his weeping friends and relatives. His funeral was preached by Rev. J. Mercer Callaway, from the words, "Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of His saints." In his death, we have lost a good and honest man, but our loss is his eternal gain.
