Brother Sampson Potts was born on January 24, 1850, and died, at Boston, Tenn., on August 31, 1901; aged fifty-one years, seven months, and seven days. Brother Potts obeyed the gospel call during a meeting held by Brother Thomas H. Mills on Lick Creek in 1881, and was faithful in the discharge of his duty for thirty years. He leaves a widow, seven children, and three grandchildren, to mourn his departure. A devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, a kind neighbor, and a devoted servant of God is gone; but we sorrow not as those who have no hope. We are thus again strongly reminded of the certainty of death. I pray that all may profit by the lesson and be ready for the call to go.
