to all concerned
As a friend Sam Winstead was
true and faithful. No confidence
was ever misplaced in him. He
possessed those characteristics,
gentleness and sincerety, that
! bound men to him. There was
no pretense, no sham in his make
up. He was cast in too large a
world for anything little or mean,
There was that about him that
made those in the humble walks
of life feel that in him they had a
friend and a well wisher. He
was a kind and thoughtful neigh
bor. No hand of want was
stretched out to him in vain
no cry of need was turned away
unheard.
One of the best sides of brother
Winstead 's nature was seen in
his home and home life. He loved
his home and was a good provid
er. It was a home where love
ruled. Those who have partaken
of the hospitalities of that chris
tian home have carried away
at this time wes Henry A. Gordon
of Person County. Letters sent to
him there have been returned,
i and we are unable to communi
cate wilh him. It occurred to me
! that the request through the press
for information in regard to him,
might lead to a discovery of his
whereabouts. May I ask that you
will make this request.
