OBIT - Baxter Co., Arkansas, from Baxter Co. Bulletin, date of issue July 21, 1921
Henry A. Pattillo

The subject of this sketch was born in Gwinnett (this is in error, he was born in Cass Co.) Co., Georgia on April 4, 1839. His early life was spent in Greensboro, Cartersville and Rome, Georgia.

One month after the Civil War began he entered the Confederate Army and served through the period of the war. It was while serving in the army that the deceased was happily converted. (as a Christian.)

Immediately following the war he led to the hymeneal alter, Miss Hallie Hall (Henrietta Hall) of Greensboro, Georgia.

This union was blessed with three sons and three daughters(Note from MJ:I have only found two daughters-not three.) One son (Frank W. in San Francisco and two daughters, Hallie and Ruth in Georgia, of this first marriage are still living.

Brother Pattillo was married a second time. His second marriage was to Miss Mayme (Should be Mamie or Mary Lou) Dyer of this place. This union was blessed with two sons, both of whom survive their father. (Henry Dene Pattillo and Max S. Pattillo.

In his early life the deceased was engaged in the mercantile business in the city of Cartersville, Georgia. It was during this period that he formed the acquaintance of the late Rev. Sam P. Jones, one of the greatest Evangelists of the nineteenth century. He and Jones were neighbors and personal friends.

For twelve years the decease was a traveling salesman for the Boston shoe house. His territory embraced the Atlantic Coast.

For a few years he was engaged in business (Mannsville Mercantile) in Oklahoma (Indian Territory) from which place he came to Baxter Co.. (1905 and 1906)

He was a resident of this county for twenty years and had a host of staunch friends as was evidenced on the occasion of his funeral.

For the past two years Brother Pattillo had been in failing health from which he could get no permanent relief.

It was evident to him for some time that his end was not far distant. But he was unafraid of the approach of death for he knew in whom he trusted.

On Monday, afternoon January 10th, our friend and brother passed away.

The deceased was a man of splendid ideals. In his intercourse he was bright and optimistic, unassuming, urbane and affectionate in his deportment. Jealousy of his brethren had no place in his heart and envy was an emotion to which his soul was a stranger.

His advice was always helpful and inspiring.

His knowledge was most thorough and extensive. He had the ability to perceive the nature and bearing of any subject investigated. He had the most disciplined mind within the writer's knowledge.

He was a consistent member of the Baptist church of Mountain Home at the time of his death, having joined this church by letter in 1910.

His piety was regular, consistent and cheerful. He was uniformly prayful and ready for every good word and work.

At the time of his death he was in his eight-second year--turning to the evening side of life--yes, he had reached life's sutum sunset and was ready and willing to "go the way of all the earth."

He lived in peace--passing away like a summer sunset--quietly, peacefully, gloriously.

"The stream is calmest when it nears the tide.
And flowers are sweetest at eventide;
And birds most musical at close of day.
And Saints divinest when they pass away."

And now that he has passed to where the flowers bloom in perpetual springtime, we come with our little wreath of immortelles to place on his bier.

Truly "the elements were so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world this was a man."
