Death of Mr. Craig
Hereafter proper notice will be taken of the life and character of Mr.
Gilbert C. Craig, who died this morning at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr.
Steve Ferguson, in the 85th years of his age.
Obituary:
A Father in Israel Gone.
Gilbert C. Craig died on Saturday morning last, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Steve Ferguson, on East Ladiga street, in the 85th year of his age.
Mr. Craig was born in Knox county, Tennessee, on the 28th of February 1809, and removed to Alabama in 1835, first settling in Cherokee county, near Spring Garden. He came to Piedmont in 1850, and thereafter continuously resided here.
Mr. Craig had been for many years a devoted member of the Presbyterian church. He was a charter member of Carmel church, one of the oldest Presbyterian churches in this part of the state. For more than half a century he had worshipped God at Presbyterian altars and held fast to the Presbyterian faith.
He was buried on Sunday last at Carmel church, where repose the remains of many of the friends of his young manhood, of many of the associates of his middle age, of many who were near and dear to him in life, and there with them he will await the summons on resurrection morn to everlasting life. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Liston, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Piedmont.
Mr. Craig was an honest man. He was a good neighbor and friend. He was an affectionate husband and a kind father. He failed in no duty of citizenship. He walked uprightly before men; and all men respected and esteemed him. Full of years, he died in the assurance of the faith in which he lived; and the loved ones he left behind do not mourn as those without hope.
