SAMUEL A. GRISHAM

Part of obituary-
"He was converted when he was about 13 years old and united with the Baptist Church at Sinking Creek and lived a consistent Christian life. He was not only a true husband and faithful father, but cared for his granddaughters the same as his own children. His loss is deplored by all who know him. No man stood higher in the estimation of the people of the community than did Uncle Sam Grisham. Funeral services were held in Sinking Creek Church by Rev. W. R. Russell in the presence of a large assemblage of relatives and old neighbors and friends who had come to pay a last tribute of respect and take a last look at his mortal remains. He was laid to rest in Sinking Creek cemetery in sight of his old home where had lived so long."
