HENRY W. PUCKETT, 35 7mo. 16 1861
Wabash Co., Ind.
Among the most prominent features of his character were his clear and strong sense of justice, and his scrupulous regard for the rights and feelings of others, even in the most trivial matters. In health he was a happy and contented man; in affliction submissive and cheerful.
Some weeks previous to his last illness, becoming conscious of the character and probable result of his disease, he wrote thus to his mother and other relatives: "I am not discouraged or depressed. I never felt more cheerful in my life." From his conversations with different persons, and from his letters, it appears that he was so fully resigned to the will of his Heavenly Father that all was joy and peace. The closing days of his pilgrimage on earth were days of intense suffering, and yet so perfect was his hope of immortality through Christ Jesus, that not a murmur escaped his lips.
