Clinton County KyArchives Obituaries

Clear Fork Baptist Church Records
The following is an obituary for James E REAVES. Born 15 Jan 1823; departed 
this life 25 Feb 1903; professed religion and joined the church at Wolf River 
on 1st Sat in Nov 1854. Ordained as a Deacon 1st Sat Apr 1861 by a presbytery 
consisting of Bros Wm DOWELL, Jenkins TOMPLINS & R L REEVES. Dismissed by 
letter 1st Sat Nov 1873. Joined the Baptist church at Clear Fork 4th Sat Feb 
1874. Faithful member of the church; he never knowingly did an injustice to his 
brethren and if he did unconsciously he was swift and ready to make reparation. 
On his death the Church lost one of its best members and councillors and the 
community one of its best citizens.Those who survive him here will struggle on 
for a few years at most and will then like him be gathered to the world beyond 
to receive the reward which awaits those who perform faithfully and well all 
their duties here below. Brother REAVEWS is lost to us but not to his God. "He 
that believeth in me though he is death, yet shall he live, and whosoever 
liveth and believeth in me shall never die." May his family and relation live 
like him God grant that the light of Bro REAVES left behind him may illuminate 
the path of all his relations and members of Cleark Fork Church that they may 
be prepared to meet him beyond the Jordan of life."
