John T. Bain, one of this community's oldest and highly esteemed citizens, passed away Friday at the home of his son, Tice Bain, with whom he had made his home for several years.
Funeral services were held Sunday at the Cumberland Presbyterian church at Mt. Herman, near Savannah, Tenn., with burial in a cemetery there. German Undertakng Co. of this city was in charge of arrangements. A number of relatives and friends accompanied the body to Tennessee Sunday morning.
John T. Bain, son of J.K. Bain and Sally Freeman Bain, was born at Savannah, Tenn., March 12, 1858, and died December 26, 1941, age 83 years, 9 months, 14 days. He was married to Miss Mollie Franks, in the year 1883, preceding him in death on May 25, 1896. To this union were born five children, two of whom have also preceded him in death.
He is survived by one son, Tice K. Bain, of Steele, two daughters, Mrs. Ethel Bain, of Steele, and Mrs. Icie Allison of Campbell, Mo., also eight grandchildren, three great-grandchildren; two brothers, Harve and Mug Bain, of Savannah, and two sisters, Mrs. Zunie Willoughby and Mrs. Sallie Spencer, also of Savannah.
Mr. Bain spent most of his life in Hardin County, Tenn., where he reared his family, moved to Steele in 1919, and resided here the remainder of his life. He united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Mt. Herman, Hardin Co., Tenn., early in life. He gave the grounds where the church and cemetery are located, and was an Elder in the church for many years, taking an active part in all of the church affairs, and offering his services at all times to his friends who might be in need.
Mr. Bain was an honest, upright citizen, a man who dearly loved his family, and always made them a good living. He stood for the right regardless how it affected him. He died as he lived with his trust firmly fixed in God and the Eternal Home.
On the 26th of December
In the year 1941,
His soul was borne away
To dwell in that Heavenly Home.
In his home a kindlier host
No one ever will find,
His gentle Christian spirit
Around each heart would entwine,
A cord of love so tenderly
Would bind from breast to breast,
And now that cord is broken
He is gone to live with the blest.
Oh, what a happy reunion
When his family and friends meet
him up there,
To dwell with him in Heaven,
In that Eternal Home so fair.
