OBITUARY
In memory of REV. BRYANT BONNER, who was born the 4th of February, 1817, and died the 7th of April, 1879. At the age of 23 he was happily converted and became a member of the Baptist Church. For more than 25 years of his life he preached the riches of Christ with boldness and zeal, shunning not to declare the whole truth of God with meekness and fear. As a friend he was social, genial, kind and loving. As a husband and parent, his love, care and solicitude for his family were deeply impressed on his every act of life to the end. In his life he showed to the world how a Christian should live, walk, and work and in his death he exhibited to his friends the delight with which a righteous man enters into the joy of his Lord. " Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like His".
