HERALD AND ADVERTISER, COWETA COUNTY GEORGIA
April 10, 1914 John Thomas Brown, only son of William B and Elizabeth Brown, was born at Newnan GA, Jan 31, 1846. When 9 years of age his mother moved from Newnan to Powelville, (now Madras) where he lived until Feb 17, 1914, when his spirit left its earthly tabernacle for the Father's home on high. All that loving hands and medical skills could not keep him, after the Father said, "It is enough, come up higher." He was sick only one week. He was carried to Atlanta and underwent an operation at Wesley Memorial Hospital, but never revived. His spirit winged its way to the God who gave it, and with sad hearts we brought his body back to the home he loved so well, where it remained until the following day, when we carried it to Jones Chapel, that he loved and served so well in life. After a funeral service by his pastor, Rev S D Cremean, assisted by Rev J A Sewell, a former pastor, and Rev H L Edmondson of Newnan, his body was laid to rest by the side of his beloved companion, who preceded him to better world twelve years ago.
He was a member of Corput's Battery, Cherokee Artillery, enlisting at Dalton Ga, March 2, 1864, and rendered faithful service in the Confederate cause until he was honorably discharged at Atlanta by the terms of the surrender in June 1865. He was twice married – first to Miss Minerva Farmer, in 1865. She died the same year. On Feb 22, 1871, he was happily married to Miss Jennie Sarah Toy. This union was blessed with eleven children – eight boys and three girls – all of whom survive, except one son, who died in infancy.
He joined the Baptist church in early manhood, but in 1871 he united with the Methodist church, and remained faithful and loyal to both church and Sunday school up to the day of his death. May the influence of his life continued to bless those left behind, and ultimately bring all of them into the fold of God, and into that rest that remaineth for all of His children beyond this world of sadness and suffering. Daughter.
