Obituary for Silas Starr (1782-1857); transcribed (as it is printed) by Mary Kathryn Kozy from a photocopy of a newspaper clipping from an unknown newspaper,
unknown date.

SILAS STARR, was born in Maryland the 7th Nov., 1782, and died in Newton Co., Ga. 18th December 1857. Blessed with a fine constitution, and leading a temperate and virtuous life, he survived the allotted period of three score years and ten; and after raising up a family of children "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" more than half of whom preceded him to the home of the blest--he gradually sunk under the accumulated weight of years and calmly fell asleep in Jesus. In all the relationships of life he was a model man. Although endowed with faculties, which by culture would have rendered him distinguished, he choose, in accordance with his unobtrusive nature to pass quietly through the world, serving his generation "by the will of God." He was conservative in his feelings, but firm in his disapprobation of all vice and error, whether in Church or State. As a citizen he was an ornament to the community in which he lived, and the influence that he exerted for good order, by his virtuous precept and pious example, will be felt for many days to come. He enjoyed the highest esteem and confidence of his neighbors, as well as of all who knew him, and always reciprocated their kindness with the utmost delight. He ever lent a listening ear to the cries of the needy, and extended a helping hand to supply their wants. And the unfortunate of no clime or country ever besought his charities in vain. In the vigor of manhood, he gave his heart to God and joined the M. E. Church. His christian career was characterized by no irregularities, for his piety, like a stream, deepened and widened as it advanced, until it became fathomless as the ocean. He was faithful in the discharge of his duties and punctual in his attendance upon all the ministrations of the sanctuary, until entirely disabled by disease. He was liberal in his support of the ministry, as well as of all the great enterprises of the church, and his house was the preacher's home. He lived the life of a christian and died "the death of the righteous." His virtues will outlive all eulogy and be a rich legacy to his posterity. J. K. L.
