IN MEMORY OF A DEAR FATHER
SAMUEL B. COLLINS
Born in Hancock County October 16, 1842, died
at his home in northeast Baldwin on the night of December 19, 1925. How
sad now when I go home, no dear papa to meet, neither can I go to the fire
side and greet him sitting in his accustomed place. He is not there. He
has gone to dwell in realms above where we shall one by one gather with
him in the beautiful city where is no sin or sorrow.
How we miss him; his going away has
brought grief and sorrow to us, but we bow in “humble submission”, remembering
“Thy will not mine be done.” “For dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt
return.” He was such a good father, his heart was kind, warm and tender
and sympathetic at all times ready to lend a help in hand to those in
need. The ones who knew him best loved him best.
He leaves a place which cannot be filled, but it is a comfort to think
our loss has been his gain. He is not dead, he is just passed away in that
land of eternal day. He was a Confederate veteran, and was wounded in the
latter days of the war. He was a faithful member of the Black Springs Baptist
Church and a deacon at the time of his death. On Feb. 8, 1866, he married
Miss Elmira Antoinette Babb, who survives him, and a better mother
never lived than she. Almost 60 years they had walked side by side. He
was engaged in farming all these many
years. That a blessing and joy we received
through his long life now he is gone to reap the reward prepared for the
faithful.
If I could just describe his excellent character
as a man, a husband, a father, how beautiful it would be but no worlds
are adequate to do it.
But he was good, so good,
He was loyal, so loyal,
Always doing what he could.
We miss our father,
Now brother and sister, let's remember,
For he was always near
To listen to the things,
Gave us sorrow or cheer,
The seed papa has sown,
He's gone to reap the harvest,
In a glorious home.
A home so bright and beautiful,
No cloud or night is there.
BIRTHDAY PARTY
Little
Misses Anita and Norma Babb, young daughters of Mr. and Mrs. L.L. Babb,
entertained about twenty-five of their young friends at a delightful
birthday party given at their home on top of Medlin Hill. Games and jokes
were enjoyed by all until a late hour. The children then returned into
the dining room which was beautifully decorated with cut flowers, pink
and white paper. The most delightful part of all was the eager children
waiting to cut the cake which contained a ring, a thimble and a dime. Miss
Runette Simmerson received the thimble, Miss Lavada Almond the ring and
Lorine Posey the dime. Other refreshments were served and the children
returned home at a late hour.

Old Burial Ground Almost Lost to
The World Found by Mrs. J. L.Beeson
Mrs. J.L. Beeson, Secretary of Nancy Hart Chapter D.A.R., has reported
to her Regent, Mrs. Young Harris Yarbrough, the discovery of the grave
of William Babb, Revolutionary soldier.
In an old book of land grants, one reads that Elizabeth Babb, widow of
a Revolutionary soldier, was given land in Baldwin County.
When Mr. Babb, who lives near Black Springs Church, was questioned about
it, he remembered that when he was a tiny child, he attended the burial
service of his grandmother,
Elizabeth Babb. She was buried by the
side of her husband William Babb.
Mrs. Collins,
now 83 years old and cousin of Mr. Babb, remembers that she attended the
burial services, both of her grandmother Elizabeth Yates Babb, one
of her grandfathers William Babb, who died about 1852. He was from
North Carolina and his nine children were: Brinkley, William, Berkeley,
Jesse, Ransom, Tom, Lizzie, Lilah, Martha.
As soon as the
Nancy Hart Chapter establishes William Babb's service, it will petition
the Government for a marker for the grave.
The many graves
in the old country cemetery where he lies, have become only hollowed-out
places in the woodland; but four tall cedars still stand guard. It is by
these trees that the descendants
know the whereabouts of the two graves.
The owner of the
land is Mr. Sam Ennis, and he has long wished to enclose the old burial
place which has become almost lost to the world.
Mrs. Beeson was
so enthusiastic over the discovery, that a visitor to Mr. and Mrs. Babb
asked how much money was
was making out of it."
