TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JAMES P. ALMAND.
In view of the fact that the subject of this sketch was a native of Morgan county; in consideration of his worth, and because of The Madisonian's friendly feeling for the family of the deceased, we reproduce below a tribute to the late James P. Almand, who recently died in Monroe. The article is from the Walton News of the last week, and is as follows:
"Sunday morning, at an early hour, at his home on Church street, this city, death came to Mr. James P. Almand, one of Monroe and Walton county's best known citizens - - the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Almand of Morgan county, pioneer citizens of their day.
Mr. Almand was a native of Morgan county, Georgia and first saw the light of day in June the fifth day, 1845. He was 71 years of age in June of this year.
When quite young, Mr. Almand, with his people, moved to Walton county, and located in Good Hope district. There he resided until ten years ago when he became a citizen of Monroe.
Nearly fifty years ago ago Mr. Almand was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Almand, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tinsley Almand, also excellent Morgan county citizens. Out of this union a number of children were born, seven of who as follows: Messrs. L. V. Almand, of Almand's Store; J. M. Almand of Bostwick; U. T. Almand of Monroe; O. L. and W. H. Almand, of near Good Hope; Mrs. Fannie Davenport of Bostwick, and Mrs. Roop Snow, survive.
In early life Mr. Almand confessed a change of heart and united with the church. For 22 years he was a loyal and true member of the Missionary Baptist church. For ten years he held his membership with the First Baptist church of Monroe. He was a loyal and true Confederate Veteran, a member of the R. E. Lee Camp in this city, and wore proudly the badge of honor. He entered the services of his country in March 1864, and although he only weighed ninety pounds, he was strong and brave, and made a good soldier, coming out with a creditable record April 9th, 1865. He belonged to the 3rd Georgia Wright's Brigade, Virginia Army. He was an honorable, upright citizen, one in whom our people imposed the upmost confidence, and for who all had the utmost respect. During his illness covering a period of a year, he had not been without the interest , care and devotion of his children and his most excellent wife and neighbors and friends. He was a man strong in his convictions and sincere in his profession of faith in his Lord and Master. He tried to exemplify the life of Christ everywhere he went. He was a gentleman who loved most tenderly every member of his household and he raised a splendid company of children all of who rise up to call him blessed.
The funeral services were conducted yesterday (Monday) afternoon, and the interment took place in the Bostwick cemetery. Dr. D. W. Key, of Monroe, pastor of the deceased, conducted the last sad rites, and besides paying a beautiful tribute to his life and character, offered words of tenderness to the grief-stricken family. Many and exquisite were the floral contributions sent in by friends and loved ones."
