Individual Details
(May 17, 1836 - October 17, 1899)
"Malcolm Cantrell's wife lived only two and a half years after their marriage, and although he was yet a young man, he never married again. As she grew older, the tastes, habits and knowledge of his daughter made her a congenial companion. He was converted and joined Zion Hill Baptist church in McMinn County, Tennessee, at the age of fourteen years. At his death, October 17, 1899, he had been clerk of Conesauga Baptist church for twenty-five years. He was a physician and when he died many were heard to say: "He was the best man in the world." He was even-tempered, modest and retiring, but was withal a man of firm convictions. A nephew in writing of him, said that he "was a model of simple, earnest Christian manhood, whose memory I revere."
