Deborah Eve Morgan Brown (May 23, 1951) passed away early Friday morning (March 29, 2013) surrounded by her family at Duke Hospital. Debbie was the daughter of Ernest Forbis and Florence Edwards Morgan, the youngest of three Morgan sisters. She was born in Mullins, SC, graduated from McClenaghan High School in 1969 and attended Columbia College. Debbie was the wife of Col. Wm David Brown (Ret.) and together with their two daughters, as a military family they made homes in Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Georgia, Alaska, and Mississippi. In 2000 the family returned to Florence where they settled close to her mother and her sister, In 2007 her joy was made complete when they were joined by their third sister . Beautiful inside and out, Debbie loved her job and friends at Stein Mart and the Symphony Guild. So full of life, love, and beauty, Debbie lit up the room when she came in, and her husband was always proud to be by her side. Her loving, nurturing spirit made her a wonderful Mama and a favorite of her nieces and nephews, as well as her Yorkie Sassie and numerous stray cats that sensed her loving nature. Whether it was getting ready, cooking, or doing a home improvement project, Debbie always did things to the "n'th" degree which sometimes caused her to be late, but as her husband often remarked, she was always worth the wait.

She is survived by her husband, William David Brown; two daughters, two sisters, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Charlie Coleman of Silver Point is one of the last of Middle Tennessee’s old time blacksmiths, the newspaper writes this week in a profile of the 78 year old craftsman.

People needing blacksmith services come from 30 and 40 miles away to Coleman’s shop. He’s given up shoeing horses because of his health, but he still makes harnesses and wagon accessories the old way, with hammer and tongs over a bed of hot coals.

Born at the head of Indian Creek in Buffalo Valley, his father lost an arm fighting for the Confederacy in the battle of Lookout Mountain at Chattanooga. Ironically, his mother was also one armed, he says. She lost an arm in a sorghum mill accident as a young woman.

Coleman learned his trade as a young man and has practiced it all his life.

We have just laid to rest one of the old veterans of the cross. Elder Jacob M. Stewart fell asleep Sunday morning, January 25, 1920, at the age of 72 years. He died at his home in boma, Putnam County, Tennessee. He leaves an afficted and helpless widow and four children to mourn his home-going. His only son, J. C. Stewart, is also a minister.

He and his wife lived together more than fifty-one years, and he had been preaching more than fifty years. He had numbered his converts and baptisms by the hundreds if not by the thousands. He had been instrumental in constitution of ten churches in detiture sections. He has received very little for his labors. His faithful wife has held the ropes at home while he trhough much sacrifice, has carried the gospel to the waste places. The Board of Ministeral Relief has been helping for a few years to ease their burdens. His sick widow will still need their help till God says to her, “Come home.”

He was a plain preacher of the gospel, and as was said of Barnabas it can be truly said of him: “He was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith; and much people he has added unto the Lord.”

Funeral services were conducted by W. E. Wauford and the writer, and he was laid to rest hard by New Home Church, the furit of his labors, and it stands and will stand as his mounument. Peace to his ashes.

I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU:

I took a trip on a train and I thought about you. I passed a shadowy lane and I thought about you. Two or three cars parked under the stars a winding stream. Moon shining down on some little town And with each beam the same old dream.

And every stop that we made I thought about you. And when I pulled down the shade then I really felt blue. I peaked through the crack and looked at the track, The one going back to you and what did I do? I thought about you.

There were two or three cars parked under the stars... a windin' stream. Moon shining down on some little town And with each beam the same old dream.

And then I peaked through the crack and I looked at that track, The one going back to you, and what did I do... I thought about yoU. http://www.ajlambert.com
