Holly Springs, Miss.

J. O. Cheairs departed this life February 15, 1906, at his home near Hudsonville, Marshall County, Miss.
He was born June 7, 1850; was the son of Thomas D. and Harriett A. Cheairs; married Miss Ada M. Rook, daughter of T. D. and M. A. Rook.
Their grandparents settled here among the first settlers of Marshall, and left to their children fortune, fame and a well spent life for Christ as a legacy.
He leaves a wife, eleven children, three sisters and a brother to mourn his departure. Why should we? God is too wise, too good to err, but in his own good time he will remove the veil that hides from our view the cause of his going from us soon. Then, yes then, we will see and know why he made our hearts to bleed and almost break to give up our dearest loved ones.
As a husband and father, he was all that God intended that a man should be--true, devoted, helpful and in perfect harmony with his family in all things he deemed right in the sight of God. He was the light and joy of the home.
His death was calm, serene and beautiful as the going down of the sun. Expressed himself to his wife as being ready and willing for the summons as soon as his children could come, that he might bid them all farewell.
He was a long time steward of the M. E. church, which he and his wife joined in their youthful days. By their example eight of their children are in the church, so there are nine to gently lead the four younger ones to Christ and Papa.
