The Southern Democrat, 12 Aug 1897 It is with a sad heart that we chronicle the death of Mr. Uriah W. Bynum which occurred at his home near this place last Thursday at about noon. He was kicked by a horse Tuesday about noon and suffered great agony for about 48 hours when death came to this relief. Mr. Bynum, in a few days, would have been 49 years old and 27 years of that time he spend as a steward in the M.E. church, South. He was a good man and numbered his friends by the score. When questions of morality came up he was always found on the right side. When he came to die he said he had made some mistakes in his life but that if he had it to live over against he didn't know that he could better it. There are very few people that can say this. In his death the wife loses a devoted husband, the children an affectionate father, the church one of its most earnest workers, and the community one of its most enterprising and patriotic citizens. The funeral service took place at Chepultepec Friday morning. The I.O.O.F. of which he was a faithful member, took part in the services. The funeral was largely attended. [Uriah W. Bynum, 25 Aug 1848 - 5 Aug 1897; buried Shiloh Cemetery]
