John
Griffith
From the Athens Post, July 9, 1852
DIED--At his residence in Bradley county,on the 21st of June, John
GRIFFITH, in the 44st year of his age. His disease was of the most
singular character, (even the name unknown) having baffled the skill of
the physicians for a period of nine months, during which time his
intense suffering was borne with Christian [illegible] until the last,
with unreluctant resignation, he yielded his soul
into the hands of Him who gave it. The deceased was a member of the
Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, which he adorned by the true piety and uprightness
in
his walk and conversation. But he has exchanged this world for a
better.
