Obituary: WALKER COUNTY MESSENGER of Date 1892
"Mrs. Cynthia ATKINS, wife of Capt. C.B. ATKINS,
was born in Union Co., SC. Dec. 28, 1832,
She married C.B. ATKINS in 1850, Moved to Georgia
in 1859, and united with Bethlehem Baptist
Church in 1860 and was baptized by Rev. Jacob
TATE. On the 11th August, God in his infinite
wisdom saw proper to pluck this beautiful flower
from the earthly home and to transplant it to
his garden above, the celestial home of the
good where it will add beauty and lead grace
through eternity. While a devoted Christian
was among the living, it was her soul's
chief delight, it was a pleasure which surpassed
other pleasures to do all she could for the
entertainment of God's people. Many a sumptuous
dinner has she prepared for her beloved Pastor
and friends; but bereaved friends, you should
not mourn your loss for now it is her privilege
to be with her Savior whom she so faithfully
and earnestly served." [REF:#1800.003]
[The Pastor who wrote the above obituary, has
the wrong birth date for Mrs. Cynthia (BROWN)
SARRATT, ATKINS it should be 28 Dec. 1822. ..prs]

OBITUARY: WALKER COUNTY MESSENGER of Jul. 05, 1900
"Memorial of C.B. ATKINS who was born April 5, 1828 and
departed this life April 17, 1900. Brother ATKINS
professed religion in early life, and joined the
New Hope Baptist Church in Spartanburg, SC.
Afterwards he moved to Chattooga Co., GA. and joined
Bethlehem Baptist Church and was ordained a Deacon,
and discharged the duties of his office faithfully
until God saw fit to remove him from this life to
one eternal. Brother ATKINS was an open hearted,
cheerful Christian, always had a pleasant smile and
a kind word for his fellow man where ever he met them
and was ever ready with his purse to help the poor
and needy and to support the cause of Christ in any
way he could. He was an honorary member of the WMS
of Bethlehem Church and did much to help and
encourage the work of missions, and was faithful to
attend his meetings and was a good Sunday school
worker. Brother ATKINS loved his own church but
possessed much of that beautiful unselfish love
for all Christians of every name that is characteristic
of true Christians and always when it was convenient
joined their worship. We feel that our Church has
lost one of it's best members, yet we believe our
loss is his gain. A calm review of long acquaintance
reveals the grace of sincerity, humility and love
bestowed on his character, which begins all good
on earth for immortal ends. Brother ATKINS was
confined to his bed for several months and suffered
great pain, yet he bore his afflictions with
Christian fortitude and patience. He expresses a
willingness to die and said he was ready for his
Father's call. We will ever remember his prayers
and his voice in singing God's praise. How often
we have heard him sing that precious old hymn,
'Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound' Brother
ATKINS leaves six children and a large number
of Grandchildren, besides other relatives and
friends who morn his death." [REF:#1800.003]
