MR. ROBERT HAYNES McFADDEN entered into
heavenly rest from his home, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Jan. 21,
1905, in the sixty-eighth year of his age. He was born in Chester,
S.C., Oct. 21, 1836, son of William and Elizabeth
McFadden.
In 1857 he went to Arkansas
and lived in Bradley and Ashley counties. When the war began, he
enlisted in Company I, Second Arkansas Infantry, and served
faithfully the 4 years under Bragg, Johnston and Hood.
In Dec., 1868, he was married
to MISS ARIE E. MONK, of Upson county, Ga. Their marriage was a
peculiarly happy one. His wife was a noble woman, Christian woman
and they were blessed with 8 children, 5 of whom were daughters-
MRS. FRANK BERRY and MISSES ARIE, THEKLA, EFFIE, and ELIZABETH.
Two older sons died in infancy and one son , WADE HAMPTON, died at
the age of 10.
Two years ago , he retired
from active business, that of undertaker, after 35 years. He was a
stanch Presbyterian, having been an elder in First Church there
for many years. He was gentle, constant and brave. We know he is
at rest and just waiting on the other shore. The Comforter will be
with his devoted wife and loving children.
