James Robert Grave Jarrell
(5 May 1869 - 10 Jan 1904)
"The LaFayette Sun" - April 6, 1904:
In Memory of Jas. R. Jarrell.
(A paper read by Miss Lenna Denney at the memorial service at Milltown Sunday March 27th.)
Life is made up of joy and sadness, of sunshine and shadow – it is indeed a dark shadow that has fallen over us since the dawn of the new year when the death angel came into our midst and took from us our beloved pastor, teacher and friend, to dwell in a brighter world.
Jas. R. Jarrell was born in Chambers County in May 1869. Joined the church at County Line, Chambers County, when quite a young boy. He graduated from Howard College in the year 1891, was elected President of Ashland College of 1893, and continued teaching the remainder of his life. He was married to Cora Northern in 1893. He was licensed to preach the 2nd Saturday and was ordained the 2nd Sunday in December of the same year. He died Jan. 10th, 1904.
Our hearts are filled with sadness as we gather today to hold these services in memory of one who has so faithfully toiled among us for more than two years, to think we will work with him no more on this earth, no more will be gathered together to listen to his helpful instruction and wise counsel. By his kind disposition and gentle manners he won the esteem of all. He did not wait for great times to show his faith, but in the trifles of every day life he was always a zealous and faithful worker, never swerving from what he thought to be his duty. And it is in the daily walks of life that we will miss him most, where he came in direct contact with living, perceptive minds.
Though we cannot understand the Divine Providence that took him from us at a time when it seems we needed him most, we feel that our kind Heavenly Father doeth all things for the best, and through it all shines the one great element of God’s love that blesses every sorrow and joy.
His was a generous heart and unselfish life, the memory of which we would not willingly lose. May his life of integrity and usefulness, and the records of kind acts and noble deeds he has left behind be an inspiration to others to live to some noble end. Man’s influences do not die with him but live on and continue to increase as a rolling snowball. Long may his good deeds live in the hearts and minds of those with whom his life came in contact, and be a power for much good in years to come.
Our united sympathies go warmly out to his bereaved wife and children.
