The beautiful life of C. C. Petty, well spent in the Master's service, came to an end on December 29, 1928, after an illness of nine days. Brother Freed M. Little preached his funeral -- a beautiful tribute--on the Lord's day, and he was laid to rest near the church of Christ at Awin, near Pineapple, Ala. He was born on November 1, 1853, in Tennessee. His father and mother were William and Nancy Sullivan Petty, respectively. He was the oldest of twelve or thirteen children. He has three sons and five daughters now living. Their mother was Kate McClain Petty, who died when W. Edwin Petty was five years old. Fifteen years later Brother Petty was happily married to Miss Lucy Williams, and for nearly ten years they lived together in harmony and peace--a sweet, Christian home. For thirty-five or forty years he preached the gospel in its purity and simplicity, never refusing a call and often receiving very small contributions toward his expenses which all have to meet. He never murmured, but was always happy trying to do good and help some one. At home he was always kind and cheerful, never complaining even when suffering. It gave him much joy for his children to visit him and for him to visit them. He now has gone. "Home, home at last," as he so often said. His works do follow him. His devoted wife, children, and other loved ones mourn his passing and miss him so very much. Sweet be his memory!
