OBITUARY Another pillar of the Jacobstown Baptist Church has gone to his reward, and the church feels his loss greatly. Budd Poinsett was born near Jacobstown, N.J. August 24, 1836. For over fifty years he had been a faithful worker and supporter for the church, and one of its most honored and faithful deacons. When possessed of good health he worked hard for his church, but for the past twelve years he had been in ill health and unable to do much active work, although he continued his financial help up to the time of his death. On Tuesday August 2, 1915, at 10 a.m. he passed to his eternal rest. The funeral was held at the home of his brother-in-law, T. P. Miller, of Fieldsboro,N.J. at 11 a.m. on Thursday, August 5th. the funeral was well attended by relatives and friends from all the surrounding towns. His pastor, Rev. R. N. Toms, conducted the funeral services and preached from 1 Corinrhians XV: 51, 52 and a splendid mixed quartet sang three of the deceased's favorite hymns. The interment was in the Bordentown Cemetery. the widow, brother and two sisters and numerous relatives have the sympathy of the whole community. Narly all of the relatives and friends returned to the home on request and partook of dinner with the family. Well, hope some of you might have found a lead or two to family members. I love reading these old newspaper clippings.They really give you a feel of the times. I think I'd rather read this sort of article rather than some of the news of late!- Cheryl _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
