Tribute of Respect
By the Baptist church of Christ at Union, Meriwether County, Ga., in memory of brother Richard Prather, who died August 18, 1897. Brother Prather was born in Wilkes County, October 15, 1833; joined the Baptist church in 1848, and was baptized by Rev. Enoch Callaway; came to Meriwether in early life with his parents, Rev. William W. Prather and Sidney Prather. In youth he evinced every trait of noble manhood. All through life he had the confidence and esteem of all who knew him. His good name was never tarnished by word or deed. He was never known to depart from the path of Christian rectitude. He fought the good fight of faith to a perfect and glorious finish.
When the summons came for his departure he was found ready. He delighted to cheer his brethren's hearts with the sons of Zion, and while his voice is now hushed in the silence of death, we trust it is raised to higher and sweeter strains, on a celestial harp, in paradise. His pure life and Christian virtues were as bright lights in an undimmed sky. R. D. Thompson,
