Resolutions of Respect
"We, the deacons of Reynoldson Baptist Church recommend the following resolutions of respect:
That of February 2, 1927, God in his providence did take from our midst our beloved Brother Timothy E. Parker. Brother Parker was 67 years of age. He had been a member of Reynoldson Baptist Church for 50 years and was a deacon for 23 years. He loved his church and was faithful in attendance. He was never happier than when he was rendering some service for his church, he gave liberally of his means and was ever ready to do all in his power to advance the cause of the Lord. He was a good and kind neighbor. He loved his neighbors and was ever ready at all times to do them a kindness. He was a man of high character and a perfect gentleman. He took part in all public affairs and stood for what he believed to be right, honest and just. He was a kind and affectionate husband and father.
He leaves a wife, one son and one daughter.
He spent all his life in the community in which he died.
We can truly say that a good man has gone to be with his Lord and Master.
His funeral was preached by Rev. K.C. Horner of Gatesville Baptist Church, his pastor being sick.
His body was laid to rest in the family cemetery.
FIRST. That we extend to the bereaved family our deepest love and sympathy.
SECOND. That God in his infinite wisdom doeth all things well and we bow in humble submission to his will.
THIRD. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his wife, a copy to his son, and daughter and a copy to the Bibical Recorder and a copy be spread on the minutes of this church.
Respectfully submitted

"Resolutions of the Deacons of the Reynoldson Baptist Church of Gates, N.C."
The deacons of the Reynoldson Baptist Church, of Gates County, North Carolina, sustained a great loss May 18, 1955, upon the death of our brother, friend, and fellow deacon, W.J. Savage.
He was loved and admired by all who knew him as a Christian gentleman, a faithful and devoted church member. He was always willing to serve his church and community in any capacity and he preformed these duties in a gracious and unselfish manner.
His family life was enriched with happiness, and he exemplified the true Christian Spirit as a husband and father. He and his family were a closely knitted circle that reflected a true Christian atmosphere through out the community.
In the kingdom's work of Reynoldson Baptist Church, W.J. Savage gave generously of his time, his active leadership and financial means. For five years he served on the board of deacons. We all sought and respected his advice and counsel. He served very effectively on several important committees.
Having known W.J. Savage as we did, our lives have been greatly enriched and his precious actions will lead us to a greater and nobler attainment. The record of W.J. Savage found its greatest interest and expression of love and gratitude as he walked with the Lord in the work of the Reynoldson Baptist Church. He was kind and sympathetic to his associates and was forever striving to lead others to a greater Christian service by his everyday activities.
His dedicated services to his church as a deacon, member of important committees, charter member of the Brotherhood, and leader in the Baracca Sunday School Class, painted the true portrait of W.J. Savage. He will be greatly missed as a deacon, church member, and a genuine Christian exerting his influence in the community. His example in all the activities of his useful life, particularly which he furnished our church will be a challenge to all.
It is, therefore, hereby resolved in behalf of the deacons that we do hereby make this expression of loss by his fellow deacons on the occasion of the death of W.J. Savage, and our
189
sympathy to his family. It will be spread upon the permanent minute book of this church with a copy to be sent to his family.

"Obituary, E.B.D. Howell
God has deeply afflicted us as a church in the removal by death of our esteemed brother in Christ, E.B.D. Howell. Yet though sorrowful we would not murmur, but bow in blind submission to death all things right.
Born in Nansemond County, October 5, 1822, he was baptized into Piney Grove of Gates County, North Carolina, on September 25, 1842. For several years, previous to his death, he discharged the duties of clerk and other wise bore an active part in various relations of a member of a church. With calm composure he bade adue to weeping relatives and friends and with confidence in Christ manifested by Christian resulation he fell asleep in death. Brothers and sisters let us sorrow not as those who have no hope, but live that when the messenger summons us assay we may joyfully anticipate a happy reunion with our beloved brother who has proceeded us but a few days. To his distressed wife and afflicted children, we would offer our tenderest sympathies and humbly pray to God of the faithful to send wisdom, and to visit them mercifully in their sore bereavement."1

Treasurer
Only recently have the Church finances been handled through a single treasury. The early treasurer was concerned only with the pastor's salary. With increased interest in Missions, both foreign and home, aid to the
191
poor, education, orphanage, and etc. separate individuals were appointed as treasurer to collect for the particular fund. A few of the names of the Missionary Society have been included in this list, but it is certain there were others not recorded.

"Resolution of Esteem and Respect to our Beloved Brother W.B. Parker Deceased, Gates, N.C."
On August 12, 1926, after several months of uncomplaining and patient suffering, Brother W.B. Parker peacefully answered the call of His Lord and Master to come hence into that Eternal Home. Brother Parker lacked a few months of reaching the age of seventy years. He leaves a widow, four daughters and two sons. His funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rev. T.L. Brown, assisted by Rev. G.C. Lowe, and his body was laid to rest in the church cemetery.
Brother Parker joined Reynoldson Baptist Church in young manhood and remained a faithful member to the end. He was faithful in church attendance and it's support. He was church treasurer at the time of his death, and had been for several years. This position he filled with credit to himself and to the church. Brother Parker was a good citizen always taking part in public affairs for which he believed to be of the best interest of the people. He was a good and most excellent neighbor, always willing and ready to lend a helping hand whenever his neighbor was in trouble or need.
Therefore; be it resolved:
That we the members of Reynoldson Baptist Church in conference; that while we sorrow because he is gone, and are sad because he will not meet with us again, we feel that it is well
