OBITUARY OF THOMAS ADCOCK
On the morning of January 16, 1901, death came to the happy home of Brother Thomas Adcock and summoned him to cross the mystic river. Bro. Adcock was born in Chambers county, Alabama Feb. 5, 1855 and departed this life Jan. 16, 1901, aged 45 years, 11 months and 11 days. He was happily married in the fall of '76 to Miss Winnie Kirby. For 25 years they plodded the path of life together To them were born eight children, one having preceded him to the grave. A wife, five sons and two daughters survive him. As a father and
husband he was kind, gentle and affectionate, providing well for his
household. He was regarded by all as a conscientious, good man.
Bro. Tom obeyed the gospel when quite a young man. He, like other, had faults, but there never lived a nobler hearted man than he. He was kind and gentle to all. He was a neighbor in the true sense of the word. He always gave liberally to the support of the church. The church will miss him. His friends and neighbors will miss him and oh, how his loved ones at home will miss him.
