I hope to be transcribing and adding to this page some Obits that appear in Allie
Abernathy's scrapbook and other sources that I have access to. Much care has been
taken in transcribing this data and some corrections were made by myself that were
in error in the news copy.
If you notice any errors please contact me so that I can make corrections.
Thanks Rex <http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00026.html#0006388>
Copied from Allie Abernathy's Scrapbook. No dates of Obit were listed but other
records indicate he was born in 1830 this would place his date of death during 1921
J. M. Satterwhite
My father, James Madison Satterwhite, died at his home near Roanoke, Ala.,
last Friday January 2d, at 5 p. m. and was near 91 years old. He was taken sick
on the Tuesday before but was not thought to be in a serious condition until Friday
morning. He was buried at the Mount Pisgah church, laid by the side of mother who
preceded him to the grave fourteen years. Elder B. F. House conducted the funeral
services, preaching a brief and comforting sermon and some remarks were made by
other friends, Though it was a cold, windy day the congregation was large, friends
coming a distance of fifty miles in autos. He leaves four children - Mrs. M.E. Whitten
of near Roanoke (with whom father lived for many years, and whose faithfulness to him
is sure of great reward) B. F. Satterwhite of Roanoke, F. P. Satterwhite, of Memphis,
Tenn., and myself, also ten grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren.
He had for a long time been a faithful member of Mount Pisgah Church. He served
most of four years in the civil war and, to be Brief, he was true and faithful in
every relation of life, and many pages could be written to his memory, but for the
time being, let this suffice.
His son, J. T. Satterwhite

may the names of all her precious ones be found written in the Lambs Book of Life,
is the Prayer of this writer. E. T. Harnell Rev. Owen H. Smith b, Feb. 9, 1824
d. June 15, 1880 Whereas it has pleased Almighty God. In His providence to remove by
death from our church and Quarterly conference our beloved brother Owen H. Smith, a

acceptable workers - the community a worthy citizen, his wife a devoted husband,

our great loss, we will try with Christian resignation to submit to this wise dispensation
of God which has removed him from our Church and Quarterly Conference, to the Church
triumphant to be ever with the Lord. 3. That his wife and children have our prayers
and sympathies in their sad bereavement 4. That the foregoing preamble and resolutions
