Obituary: John H. Craig, 1883 - Smith Co, TXTEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, September 8, 1883, p. 7, c. 4
CRAIG.-John H. Craig, son of W. H. and A. J. Craig, was born in Smith county, Texas, Feb. 6, 1862, and lived, as thousands do, without God and hope in the world, until a few days before his illness. One night, before the writer closed a meeting, he came forward for the first time to the altar for prayer. He was from that time on an earnest seeker. He was taken sick in a few days. The writer continued to labor with him until just before he died, when he said all was well. I believe it was the most triumphant death I ever witnessed. He was perfectly conscious until the last, and when he could not see or speak, he would give signs that all was well. He died on the 14th day of August, 1883. May God bless the parents, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends; and may they take his advice-not to live as he had lived.
-J. F. HENDERSON.
