Charley Thomas Sweeny, son of J. T. and Anna Sweeny, was born on August 22, 1878, in Williamson County, Tenn., and died in San Antonio, Texas, on April 26, 1911. Brother Sweeny left home in search of health on March 7, 1911, and went to San Antonio, but was not benefited by the change. So on April 24, seeing the end was near, he sent for Brother L. H. Hobard and told him he wanted to obey the gospel. After talking with him for some time, he saw that he knew his duty and he baptized him. Brother Hobard said he left him perfectly satisfied and happy. I had known Brother Sweeny for five or six years, and knew him to be honest and truthful. I have talked to him many times about obeying the Lord, and I know that he knew his duty toward his Master. Then let us not weep as those who have no hope. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them. The remains were interred in Leipers Fork Cemetery on Sunday following his death, in the presence of a large number of friends.
