Obituary of William Brigham (1776-1849)
It becomes my painful duty to announce the death of an aged Elder of the C.P. [Cumberland Presbyterian] Church. William
Brigham, the subject of this brief notice, departed this life on the 8th of Nov. 1849, in the 74th year of his age. He was born in
a fort in East Tennessee, and brought up to active life, which enabled him to secure for himself a family, a sufficiency of the
good things of this life. He professed religion in early life; and for the last thirty years has been a member, and most of the time
an Elder, of the C.P. [Cumberland Presbyterian] Church. His house was always a house for the preachers, and for a long time,
the place of circuit preachers, as brother Lowery and others of his day will doubtless recollect.--He lived a respectable
member of the Wells Creek congregation, Stewart co. [In 1849 this was in Stewart County, today it is in Houston
County]--He died as a christian, giving to his family and friends, in his last moments, the most satisfactory evidence of his
acceptance with God. Thus we sorrow not as those who have no hope. May we all be thus prepared to meet death at his
appearing.
AN ACQUAINTANCE.
