James Garden

Charlotte Gazette, Charlotte Court House, VA, Thursday, June 27, 1907.
Submitters Name: Bea. Adams King
THE
LATE JAMES GARDEN
The death of Mr. James Garden, which took place Friday, June 14th, came
after a
long illness, but not by the ailment that had long been threatening
him. An
acute disease last rapidly exhausted his strength. Last winter the
writer was
summoned to see him, he being then threatened with an early and sudden
death.
We found him, to our pleasant surprise, already apparently a penitent
believer.
He had a deep sense of his sinfulness, and clear views of the way of
salvation
through Christ.
In the late Spring or early summer, a communion service was arranged at
his
house, and he and Mrs. Garden were received to the communion of the
Wylliesburg
Presbyterian church. His health continued variable, but always feeble
during
the year, but his mind was clear, and his faith unwavering. His sense
of sin
continued deep; he confessed he had been a great sinner, but his trust
in the
promises was unwavering - "if we confess our sins He is faithful and
just
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness,"
for
"the blood of Jesus Christ His Son, cleanses us from all sin."
In this faith he calmly met death, and on the 15th of June was laid to
rest in
the Presbyterian Cemetery adjoining the church lot in Wylliesburg. Mr.
Garden
was 78 years of age. In his young manhood he was employed in the
mercantile
business at Charlotte C.H. When the civil war begun he was in lucrative
employment in New York, but this he gave up, returned to Virginia and
joined
the Charlotte cavalry. He shared the fortunes and dangers of that
company thro'
out the war, a good, brave soldier. In many a battle and skirmish the
bullets
whistled around him, but he was not hit. It was allotted to him by a
good
providence to pass unscathed thro' all the perils of war, and to live a
long
life amidst the scenes and employments of peace, till in old age, thro'
the
forbearance and goodness of God, he was enabled to meet the king of
terrors in
the peace and calmness of a christian death-bed. He was an upright and
good
neighbor, a trusted councilor and peace-maker, highly esteemed of all;
but
before God, and in his own esteem, at best, "a chief of sinners, saved
by
grace."
It should be added that Mr. Garden had a godly mother, and his father,
Mr.
James Garden, was in his latter years, a devoted and godly ruling elder
in the
Wylliesburg Presbyterian church. But like his son he was converted late
in
life, after having run a wild career. Father and son were alike signal
trophies
of saving mercy through Jesus Christ.

- In memory of Conrad Godwin Garnette (Fuzzy) Garnette on his birthday January
3, 1946, who passed away November 27, 2000.
That made
it no less painful when that fateful morning came.
We miss
your laughter, your sense of humor, but most of all, your determination.
You left
us without a last good-bye, only wondering why.
We know
that God doesn't make mistakes; You finished the race.
We
believe in a just and loving God; we asked for mercy and He gave it.
He broke
our hearts to set you free.
Words
could never express the emptiness you left.
Tears
continue to fall and on those long, dark, sleepless nights, we think of how
much we love and miss you. We know that you are at peace.
For the
first time in fifteen years you walk, talk, and breathe without pain.
How could
we wish you back to suffer that again.
This
special day we remember, as the day that you were born.
And even
though you are not here with us today, your spirit is forever present while in
Heaven your soul is free.
Life is
but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, a resting place along the road
to sweet eternity.
Lord,
stay close when sorrow falls upon the plans we make.
Help us
to always understand, it's you who gives and takes.
Today the
candles are no longer needed. The light that shines this birthday is the
brightest light of all for you stand in the presence of our Lord.
Happy
56th Birthday, Fuzzy. You were Special and we'll never forget you.

Submitted By: Bea Adams King
In the passing of Mrs.
Nannie Eggleston Gibbs, Monday afternoon, January 21st, Charlotte County has
lost one of its most beloved citizens. Nannie Eggleston was the daughter
of George Markham Eggleston, and his wife Mary Elizabeth Lyle Eggleston.
Mrs. Gibbs was born at Marble Hill in Prince Edward County, May 16th,
1860. Her early years and young womanhood were closely assocaited (associated) with the cultured and social
life around Hampden Sidney College. It was here in the old Seminary
chapel September 8th, 1891, that Nannie Eggleston was married to Dr. Charles
Henry Gibbs. Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs resided at Bon Air (near Charlotte C.H.) from the time of their marriage, until 1911 at
which time their home was destroyed by fire and they moved to the present home
at Charlotte C.H.
Mrs. Gibbs typified the
finest and best in womanhood. Her home life exemplified the old
traditions, yet her broad vision reached beyond the home and into the life of
the community. To the very last she maintained a keen interest in affairs at
home and abroad.
Some years ago, a friend
who had been a guest in her home, in appreciation for "Miss Nannie's"
delightful hospitality, sent her a tiny china pitcher from a distant city.
A person of less warmth of spirit might have put away the tiny object for
"keeps saks", but not "Miss Nannie", she cherished daily
not only the gift, but the friendship of the giver as well. As others
came and went a miniature picture (pitcher
) collection was started. This hobby has grown through the years and
today the little pitchers number between four and five hundred. To all people
with whom she came in contact, regardless of age, race or creed, Mrs. Gibbs
possessed an unassuming charm, which nedeared (endeared) her in the hearts of friends everywhere. The
community in which this noble life was spent, will be forever better and
stronger because of her example.
Funeral services were
held Tuesday afternoon at Village Presbyterian Church of which Mrs. Gibbs was a
faithful member. The service was conducted by Dr. R.L. McNair of
Lynchburg a former pastor assisted by Dr. A.C. Hopkins and Dr. J.W. Rowe.
Interment at Village Church Cemetery.
Active pallbearers were:
J. Kent Early, Matthew
Lyle, W.H. Smith, Jr., W.E. Daniel, R.P. Morton, D.Q. Eggleston, Edwin Hoy and
H.E., McSwain.
Honorary pallbearers
were:

Hutcheson, W.T. Ramsey, H.C. Marshall, J.H. Watkins, Walter G. Williams, W.S.
Crouch, Edward Towns and E.E. Cox.
Mrs. Gibbs is survived
by one daughter, Miss Mary Eggleston Gibbs of Charlotte Court House and a son
Charles Randolph Gibbs of Detroit, Michigan. She was widely connected
among the old families of this section and leaves host of friends who loved her
radiant personality filled as it was with life's sunshine.

Mr. Gibson was a

Name of Deceased: Capt. William A. Gilliam
The Bible of Allie Garnett Blount
Submitted By: Marcus Blount & Bea Adams King
At a called meeting held by the Mossingford Baptist church, November 29th, 1863, the following obituary and accompanying resolution was read and on motion, unanimously adopted and entered to be published in the Religious Herald.
Died in Richmond, June 10th, 1863, of wounds received in battle of Chancellorsville, in the 26th year of his age, Capt. William A. Gilliam, eldest son of the Rev. Wm T and Sophia Gilliam, of Charlotte County, of company ?, 44th. Va. Regiment. At the commencement of the war he joined the Mossingford company raised by Dr Marshall and was elected 1st Lieutenant and at its re-organization, Captain. He was afterwards appointed Captain of a battalion of skirmishers, and with his company or battalion he was with the lamented Stonewall Jackson in 20 battles, and received his death wound on the same field with his sainted hero-commander. On his death bed he was calm and resigned, and terminated his earthly career with unwavering trust in the finished work of Christ. In the death of Capt. Gilliam the country has lost a Christian patriot and soldier, the church a beloved and consistent member, the parents and family an affectionate son and brother. He made a profession of religion and was baptized while studying at Meadsville Academy, Halifax County; but afterwards became a member of the Mossingford church, and continued as such to the time of his death. Few can be found who maintained a mere beautiful consistency of character, so as to secure the influence and affection of his brethren, the good will and respect of all who knew him; and of him it can be said he had not an enemy. He was a Christian in whom was no guile. Benevolence was a ruling element in his character; and though he ardently espoused the cause for which he sacrificed his life, he never sacrificed his Christian character. Having understood the purport of remarks in a letter addressed to him respecting fighting under the black flag, he replied, arguing from Scripture, historical facts and the genius and spirit of the gospel its inconsistency, and expressing the hope that the principles of Christian, civilized warfare would never be departed from by this confederacy, whatever may be the conduct of our unrelenting and ???. The exposition of different portions of the Scriptures now in possession of the family, clearly indicate that he was no careless reader of that greatest boon of heaven to man. His prospects for this world were bright and encouraging, but his Saviour had brighter scenes for him in heaven. He wanted another gem in His redemption crown-and took him. He had requested his parents not to feel uneasy about him, if he should fall in battle, that he had examined well the foundation of his hope and was satisfied that all would be well, for his only hope was in Christ. Providence arranged for his wish to be complied with, that in case he should die during the war he might be buried where the Confederate flag would float over him; and his mortal remains have found a resting in the family burying ground on his father's plantation till the morn of the resurrection. While, as a church, we mourn the heavy cost of war in the death of our beloved brother we bless the God of all grace that we are not called to mourn as those who have no hope, and how with Christian submission to an All wise Providence. And we feel that his consistent life and calm and holy resignation in death engender the firm belief that our loss is his gain, and pray that his removal may make us feel the necessity of a more unreserved consecration to the service of our Saviour, and anticipate through grace a happy meeting where parting will never be known. And, be it,
“Resolved, That we tender to our beloved pastor and his family our deep Christian sympathy in this painful bereavement, and present our fervent prayers to the "God of all grace" that the consolation and support of the gospel may abound, and the heart feel and the lips utter "Thy will be done.”

Obituary
Of Mrs. Martha R. Goode
At the home of her son, Mr. Z.R. Goode, near Hermon church, Charlotte
Co., Va.,
there departed this life, on Tuesday afternoon, September 3d, 1907, an
aged and
beloved Christian woman, Mrs. Martha R. Goode. She was the daughter of
Dr.
Isaac Read, long since deceased, and widow of Dr. Thos. Claiborne
Goode, who in
1864 fell desperately wounded in the battle of Wilderness, and in the
confusion
following that great sanguinary conflict was buried in an unknown grave.
Mrs. Goode was left with eight young children, two sons and six
daughters, all
of whom grew to maturity, and all but one are still living. Mrs. Goode,
although never very robust, shortly before her death passed her 81st
birth-day.
She lived to see some of her great-grand-children. Her latter years,
however,
were years of feebleness and much sickness and suffering.
But a few weeks before her death, she ventured upon the journey from
Lynchburg
to her old home, and stood the fatigue remarkably well. But it was too
much for
the slender reserve of strength remaining. After a few days of
comparative
vigor and cheerful enjoyment of the visit, she began to decline, and
the end
soon came. On the date above given she gently "fell on sleep."
As it turned out unforeseen, it now seems a happy providence that she
came home
to die in the home and amidst the scenes of her girlhood and early
life, to end
her days where they began, and to be buried beside her parents in the
old
family burying ground.
Mrs. Goode was the idol of her children and held in warmest esteem by
all her
kindred and acquaintances. She was of a gentle, placid and affectionate
temperament and manner, and of a steady and consistant piety. She
united with
Hermon church in 1854, and to the last, although in later years living
mostly
with her children at a distance, continued her membership there. Of her
family
circle, from a distance, there were present, at the burial Mr. and Mrs.
Bennett
Goode, and their son Henry, of Lynchburg; Mrs. Junius A.
Coleman, of Norfolk; and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Norvell, of Chase City.
Those who on account of distance and the short notice or other
hindrance could
not be present, were Miss Mollie Goode, of Washington, Mr. Melanethon
Goode, of
Knoxville; Mrs. Sallie Glasscock, of Danville; and Mrs. Goode's aged
brother,
Mr. Melanthon Read, of Florida.
The burial took place on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 4th, the services
being
conducted by Rev. Dr. Brown, 50 years her pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr.
Chalkley, of the Baptist church. The hymns sung were
"Asleep in Jesus! Blessed Sleep!"
"Near, my God, to Thee!" the singing being led by Miss Bettie Friend.
Saxe, Sept. 11th, 1907 H.A.B.
In addition to the obituary notice of Mrs. M.R. Goode, furnished us by
Dr.
Brown, we have received the following from a daughter of the deceased
lady:"Mrs. Goode was born at "Ivy Hill" in Charlotte County,
July 5th, 1826.
She was the daughter of Dr. Isaac Read and Panthea Roswell, both of
Charlotte,
and the great-grand-daughter of Col. Clement Read and Miss Mary Hill,
his wife,
better known as "Madam Read."
Mrs. Martha Read Goode died at "Gaza" her old paternal home, while on
a visit from Lynchburg, Sept. 3d, 1907. She was married to Dr. Thomas
Claiborne
Goode, who died in the Civil war. She is survived by seven children:
Mrs.
Richard Bennett Goode, of Lynchburg; Mrs. Mary Barksdale, of
Washington, D.C.;
Mrs. J.A. Coleman, of Norfolk, Va.; Mr. Isaac Read Goode, of Charlotte
Co.; Mr.
C.M. Goode, of Knoxville, Tenn.; Mrs. Sallie Glascock, of Halifax Co.;

Sarah
E. Green, consort of the late Albert G. Green, Sen., who died in
Colorado
county, Texas, December 24th, 1870.
They
removed from the county of Prince Edward, April 1861, with nine
children,

R.R. Puryear, the other to Capt. William Collins. Of the nine that
accompanied them,
three have since died, to wit: Thomas Embra, William Scott and Nannie

Green.
Mr. and Mrs. Green were consistent members of the Presbyterian Church,
and held
their membership at old Briery Church, which Mr. G. was an Elder for
many
years, which office he held up to the date of his departure from the
State. As
a Justice of the Peace, he was widely known and his opinions were
respected by
all who knew him. This office he held for a series of years with honor
to
himself and credit to the county. As neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. G. were
kind, generous and charitable to a fault. No family could have left the
neighborhood of Marble Hill, whose absence would have produced so
general a
regret, with the poor particularly, not one of whom ever left this
hospitable
house without receiving the aid sought.
As companions, both to old, and young, they were ever genial, and their
society
was most agreeable. In this far-off, distant field (Texas) remote from
all
friends of earlier days, they had gathered around them numerous
appreciative
friends, who now join in a general lament at their transit from earth
to those
bright realms above, where the "wicked cease from troubling and the
weary
are at rest."

DEATH
OF WILLIAM S. GREGORY
This sad event took place at his residence at Drakes Branch, on the
morning of
Thursday, Nov. 28th, 1907. It was an event that was by no means
unexpected, as
Mr. Gregory has, for many years, been a sufferer from that dread
disease,
consumption, from which he has been gradually declining and has now
passed
away. He was about and at his usual place of business until within a
very short
time before his decease, and always seemed in a cheerful state of mind.
Mr. Gregory was a native of the State of New York, and came to
Charlotte Co.
some time, we think, in the early part of the eighties. At first, he
engaged in
farming on the estate of Arcadia, now owned by Mr. E.F. Daniel, but
after a few
years moved to Drakes Branch, where he has since resided, and at
different
periods has engaged in the horse business, provision business, but
later has
held the position of postmaster of the town, which office he held at
the time
of his death.
Mr. Gregory was a very quiet man, one who attended to his own affairs
and never
meddled with those of others; he was a good citizen, a fond and
affectionate
husband and father; faithful in the discharge of the duties he assumed,
both
public and private. He was not a man, whose acquaintance was easily
made, being
of quiet and reserved habits, but those who knew him best ever found
him a true
and faithful friend.
He is survived by a wife, three sons and one daughter, to whom the
sincerest
sympathy of the community is extended in this hour of their sad
bereavement.
His remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Drakes Branch on
Friday, the
29th, Rev. J.K. Walker, of the M.E. church, officiating.

WHEREAS, the citizens of Charlotte County, Va., are
sensitive of a great loss by the recent decease of their aged and honored
fellow citizen, HON. HUGH BLAIR GRIGSBY, which sad event occurred at his
residence at "Edgehill" in this county, April 26th, 1881; therefore
Resolved, That we, his friend sand neighbors, assembled on
Court day, June 6, 1881, desire to express our sense of the loss occasioned by
removal from among us though in ripe and honored years, of one who for so long
a time has sustained the relations of a kind and courteous neighbor, a useful
and valued citizen, and an honest and Christian gentleman.
Resolved, That in the correctness and integrity of his life,
in his industry and zeal displayed in the cultivation of letters, is his desire
to perpetuate the historic landmarks of the Federal union and his State, in his
public spirit no less than, in his efforts to improve his own lands and thus to
aid the productiveness of our country, combining the labors of the scholar with
those of the agriculturist, Mr. Grigsby has set an example to our young men of
morality and industry, of patriotic zeal, and of praiseworthy devotion to the
public welfare, which is worthy of imitation and which will be gratefully
remembered.
Resolved, That for his many public services as a member and
almost sole survivor of the Constitutional Convention of 1829, a member of the
Gen. Assembly, President of our Historical Society, Chancellor of our most
ancient College, no less than for his charities and the many excellent virtues
of his heart and life, we, his fellow citizens, desire to record this
testimonial to his worth and virtue.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to
his family as an expression of our condolence.
On motion of Judge Bouldin, it was resolved that a copy of
these resolutions be presented to Hon. Judge Van Nese with the request that
they be spread upon the record of the county.
It was further resolved that a copy be furnished the editor
of the Charlotte Gazette for publication.
