The Pulaski Citizen 04 Sep 1929
Mr. Thomas Birdsong, father of Mrs. John Chambers, Mrs. Tate, Maut, Haut and Newton Birdsong, died Sunday at his home near Kelly's Bridge on Richland Creek in Giles County, Tenn. His devoted wife preceded him to the beyond a few weeks since.
This man was a quiet , modest unassuming gentleman, had reared a family of pure girls and honest boys. I am not sorry he has passed across the river and feel sure he is not. He had served his day and generation and had served it well. In the last few months sorrow's crown of thorns had been by fate, pressed to his brow. His loved ones and loving companion of years had passed. Life was coming to the "sere and yellow leaf", and I know of no neighbor of Thomas Birdsong who is a better husband, friend or man than he was. If all and even one half of those who survive him will live and act as well as he, the community and society both are safe.
