Dear Brother Beebe:- By the dispensation of an all-wise Providence, we are called to mourn the loss of our father, Eld J.B. Chenowith, who departed this life, Friday morning, Sept 7, 1833 at half past eight o'clock. He was born in (sic) Berkley, Co., VA., June 27, 1800; was baptized by Elder D. Davis of Winchester, VA., in the fall of 1823, then and there joining the Old School Baptists, and from near that time has been a faithful preacher of the gospel, and a watchman on the walls of Zion. We mourn his loss, yet we mourn not as those that have no hope, for we know that our loss is his eternal gain. For upwards of 30 years here in this State he has supplied from two to five churches sometimes walking 25 miles, in early days to fill his appointments. He has gone to receive the glorious salutation. "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou to the Joys of thy Lord".

May Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Our aching hearts bedew.
With Widsom, glory, grace and love,
Until his face we view.
