"Letter to the Editor. Death of a Good Citizen. Editor Shelby County Reporter: This is to let you know the one of the best citizens of Shelby county, J. T. McGAUGHEY, passed away, May 16. I wish to say as I said at his burial at Moore's cemetery Friday that our community sustained a great loss in the death of this good man. I have read that in the death of a good man our loss is Heaven's gain. I have known Tom McGAUGHEY for about 21 years and I have never heard anyone say one word of harm against him. That is a wonderful thing to say for any one. Thanks be to our Heavenly Father, the good influence of such a life will live on through the ages. Mr. McGAUGHEY had a good comfortable home and a lovable family. While he may not have had the financial success of others, he made the great success in his life that God would have all mankind make. If all the people were like Tom McGAUGHEY we would have no need for sheriffs nor jails nor penitentiaries. The first thought that comes to me when I hear of some terrible crime is, What have I done to prevent it? From the way Brother McGAUGHEY has treated me for the past 21 years, I believe that when this question is asked of him he will be able to give a good account of his stewardship. From the great number who attended his funeral and from the many beautiful flowers placed upon his grave to speak in their own language of the many noble attributes Brother McGAUGHEY possessed, I am sure that his life of good was appreciated. Let us follow his good example so we may some day meet him in that beautiful city where tears and sorrows and heartaches and disappointments will all be taken away and where we may praise our Heavenly Father throughout the ceaseless ages. B. B. PEETE"
