The following was taken from the Dec. 2, 1929 edition of THE ROBESONIAN:
Rev. P. W. Hatcher Goes to Reward
Rev. P. W. Hatcher died at his home about the hour of 2 on Sunday, Nov. 17. He had been in declining health for quite a bit but kept going to his ministerial apppointments until near the close of life.
He was taken very ill at the F. B. Holiness church in Pembroke on Saturday and departed the next day following one week. He was taken to his home near Pates by his pastor, Rev. G. L. Guy. At once he went to bed, a very sick man; but he began to smile and laugh and gave signals that the close of day was near at hand. He asked his companion to come and go home with him to a better county. He often spoke in his sermons about how he wanted to go and be with his Blessed Jesus.
The writer has known the deceased for over 30 years. Rev. Hatcher was very firm in his doctrine and what he believed about God's word. He preached his conviction everywhere he held a service. He had 44 years of experience in the gospel flag high and preached holiness straight and clean, fought sin with much enthusiasm. The last song he sang, the last prayer he prayed, the last sermon he preached was when he was brushing the dew on Jordan's bank and then crossed, leaving a widow, one daughter, Mrs. Fuller Lowrie of Elrod. Mrs. Edmond Lowrie of Elrod preceded her father a few years ago. He leaves a host of friends who miss him so much. We believe our loss is his eternal gain.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. G. L. Guy and S. B. Norton of St. Pauls. The remains were taken to the Harper's Ferry cemetery to await final day. May all who read this be ready for that day.- W. D. MAYNOR.
