Our beloved brother, James A. Cathey,
died, at Vansickle, Texas, on October 6, 1903. He was born, in Maury County,
Tenn., on June 11, 1842, and was baptized into Christ, by Brother John A.
Sidener, in August, 1866. On September 20, 1866, he was married to Miss E. S.
Worley, and to them were born twelve children. Nine of the children are still
living, and eight of them are members of the church of Christ. Brother Cathey
moved with his family to Texas in 1873. I have known him for more than half a
century and have been intimately associated with him for nearly forty years,
and, therefore, know something of his many virtues. He was very firm in his
convictions and was ever ready to defend the truth as set forth in God's word
and to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints." He was one of the most zealous men I ever knew. He always gave freely
of his means for the spread of the gospel, and was ready at all times to help
the needy. He was a kind father and a good and faithful husband, and will be
sorely missed by his devoted family. The congregation at Vansickle will miss his
exhortation and his kindly admonitions. He died in the triumph of a living
faith, not as those who have no hope. Let us all be faithful to the end, that we
may meet him in the home beyond the skies.
