Aaron Green Allmond died on December 3, 1914, at the home of his son, S. E. Allmond, after several months' illness. He was born in Henry County, Tenn., on January 9, 1841. He lived a while in Weakley County and came to Union City in 1878, and has since called this place "home." He joined the Federal Army and served through the Civil War in the Sixth Tennessee Volunteer Regiment in Company K, Captain Cook's Company. He was first a Baptist, and was regularly ordained a Baptist preacher. Being a close student of the Bible, he took it as his guide and preached it as he found it recorded in its sacred pages. He soon preached himself out of the Baptist Church. They summoned him for trial and set a day for him to preach his trial sermon. A very large crowd was present. They told him he preached the Bible, but not according to Baptist doctrine. He said: "I had rather have the Bible than Baptist doctrine." It is to be regretted that after this he gave up regular preaching. He soon placed himself with the people of God, "the church of Christ." In Union City he identified himself with the brethren worshiping at the little frame church on Exchange Street. He delighted in the service of his Master. He was always present on Lord's day when able to get to the place of worship, ever ready to do any service to assist and edify the body and advance the cause of Christ. He had realized for some time that life was growing short and soon he would have to meet death. He often said he did not fear death and was ready to go when the Lord called. He felt at the last that he was going home, and expressed great desire to see every one obey the Lord he loved. He said, if it was God's will, he would be glad to live to see all his children and grandchildren in the church of the living God, both those in Obion and Weakley counties or elsewhere. He regretted much that in his last days his eyesight failed him so much that he could not read· the Bible and the old song book, for these he loved so much. His little granddaughter aided greatly in reading them to him over and over until he memorized them. His funeral services were conducted by Brother Lewis Jones, of Troy, Tenn., using as a text . His daughter and husband from Weakley County were present with sad hearts to see the last of father in this life, but will strive to meet him in yonder bright world in one grand reunion. He said especially did he desire to see his only son obey the Lord; for· his son, he said, was a good worker in the secret orders of which he was a member, and could do so much for the Master if he were in the body, the church. The church realizes it has lost one of its best members and will miss him. To the children I would say: The place of father and grandfather cannot be filled in this life; it will ever stand vacant. I am sure he would say to you: Look up to Him who doeth all things well, trust in and obey him, and we will meet a brighter world than this, with other loved ones, never to part, but to live in eternal bliss in a bright, happy home. His body was laid to rest in the old burying ground in Union City, by the side of his beloved wife, in the presence of many friends who knew and loved him, although the weather was cold and inclement. The pallbearers were: George White, Max White, J. R. Hugh, Ollie Nichols, J. T. Adams, and W. S. Long, Sr. May God bless us all. ---Gospel Advocate, Jan. 1, 1915, p. 61.
