The angel of death visited the home of Mr. E. A. Goldsby, Jr.
and claimed for it's victim our friend, Mr. E. A. Goldsby, Sr. who
was born at Old Caledonia in Henry County, September 2, 1823.
He came to with his parents to Weakley county when three years
of age, and therefore lived continuously in No. 12 for more than
seventy-eight years. He proclaimed faith in Christ in early life,
and joined the M. E. Church, South at Blooming Grove and lived a
consistent member until his death, which occurred November 23,
1904, aged 81 years, 2 months, and 21 days. He was married to
Miss M. B. McDonald, daughter of Thomas McDonald on March 11,
1845, living happily together for 55 years. To this union was born
five children, Dr. J. E. Goldsby of Greenfield, E. A. Goldsby, Jr. of
No. 12, Mrs W. H. Williams, Mrs. J. T. Reed and one dying in early
childhood. Not one word could man say against Mr. Goldsby's walk
in life. We would say to those left behind: "Sorrow not as those who
have no hope for the Master has promised we shall see him again."
He was a Mason in good standing, having attained the royal arch
degree. He was successful in his honored calling - that of farming -
and cared well for his family, being a loving and faithful husband,
kind and affectionate father, upright and honorable as a citizen -
always standing for the right.
