Uriah William Bynum ^{2 3 4}

  General Notes:

[From "The Southern Democrat", Thursday, August 12, 1897]
"It is with sad heart that we chronicle the death of Mr. Uriah W. Bynum which occurred at his home near this place last Thursday about noon. He was kicked by a horse Tuesday about noon and suffered great agony for about 48 hours when death came to this relief. Mr. Bynum in a few days would have been 49 years old and 27 years of that time he spent as a steward in the M. E. church, South. He was a good man and numbered his friends by the score. When questions of morality came up he was always on the right side. When he came to die he said he had made some mistakes in his life by that if he had it to live over against he didn't know that he could do it better. There are very few people that can say this. In his death the wife loses a devoted husband, the children an affectionate father, the church one of its most earnest workers, and the community one of its most enterprising and patriotic citizens. The funeral service took place at Chepultepec Friday morning. The I.O.O.F. of which he was a faithful member, took part in the service. The funeral was largely attended."
