IN MEMORIAM OF MATTHEW REID
Matthew Reid was born in the year of our Lord 1806, the 25th of December, in
Jackson county, Georgia. He moved to Carroll in 1828 where he lived till he
died. He was always a prominent citizen of the county. He held the office of
Justice ofthe Peace 16 years and represented the county in the Legislature
three different terms.
Socially, he was generous hearted, good and true, well beloved by his neighbors
and all who knew him. In politics he was a straight-out Democrat of the old
school. In religion he was a primitive Baptist, having professed a hope in the
year 1851, and joined the Primitive church at Holly Springs in 1867 where his
membership remained until his death. He died in the full triumph of a living
faith in the Lord Jesus. He was a useful member in the church as well as a
good, law abiding citizen.
He departed this life on the 4th of February 1880, after a painful illness of
over two years, most of which time he was confined to his house and bed. He
leaves a wife and children, with many friends to mourn his loss. But their
small loss is his great gain. His wife and children and friends have our
deepest sympathies. May peace attend his ashes. P.H.C.
