OBITUARY OF GEORGE BOOZER, ESQUIRE
Rest In Heaven
Another light plucked from the Church militant and transplanted in the Church triumphant, not extinguished. George Boozer, Esq., the subject of this memoir, was born in Newberry District, South Carolina, December 1, 1791, and left this world for his mansion in glory, prepared by the Master, on the 23rd day of September last, 1869, having nearly completed his seventy-eighth year.
He was enabled by the grace of God in early life, at the tender age of sixteen, to devote himself to the service of the blessed Redeemer, whom he faithfully followed for sixty -two years. Of him it may be truly said, "He was an Israelite in whom there was no guile." At the organization of Smyrna church, (an event brought about principally through his zeal and instrumentality,) he was chosen a ruling elder, and with great fidelity served in this important office for thirty years. He raised a family of ten children, six sons and four daughters, all of whom, at a very early age, became members of the Presbyterian Church. One son entered the ministry, three others are ruling elders. He left numerous grandchildren, many of them now are members of the Church of their fathers. Yet no one can truthfully say Mr. B. was a bigot, but, on the contrary, that he was liberal and charitable to all God's household.
Nothing delighted and cheered him so much as Zion's prosperity. His is a remarkable family, showing how greatly proper parental influence regulates moral taste and pious feeling, and verifies the truth of the descent of covenant blessing from parent to child, from generation to generation. Of the many virtues that shone in the character of our departed brother, we cannot now undertake to speak. The writer shrinks from the task, although he knew him most intimately for the last twenty years of his life, and our Christian intercourse was most open and free, and for some of the above time he was in the capacity of his pastor. His counsels were always wise and judicious, bearing the marks of a lovely Christian spirit, and I always felt, when in his company, that I was holding intercourse with a truly godly man.
He was the Christian gentleman whenever and wherever you met him—a prince and godly governor in his own household. But we will attempt no eulogy. The best that can be written can be read now, and we think for generations to come, in unmistakable characters in his own household, the church, and 'the community which he has left to mourn his demise.
Truly, George Boozer was no ordinary man. He has left numerous mends to lament his death, but no enemies. But, he is gone - not dead, but liveth forever. May his mantle fall on his numerous offspring, and they follow him, as he followed Christ.
His track will be safe to pursue, and let us join him in the upper sanctuary, where there is no more night, and all is purity and peace: 'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."
