Eli Lewis Cambron died on July 11, 1934. He was nearing seventy-five, and for more than fifty years had devoted his life to preaching the gospel. He preached largely among the poor, and established many congregations throughout Tennessee and other States. When a child, he learned his letters and how to read from the New Testament. When only a boy, he was often called upon to settle religious questions, because it was known that he could quote from memory almost the whole of the New Testament. One of his chief delights was helping the poor, often denying himself to do so. His mind remained clear, and his hope grew stronger as he neared the end. He spent the last four years of his life at Winchester, Tennessee, where his remains were laid to rest, awaiting the resurrection. - Robbins Jones. Gospel Advocate, Dec. 13, 1934, 1183.
