____________________________________________________________________________ Obituaries. Melson. - Mr. Solomon Melson was born in Boone Co., Mo., Dec. 15, 1815, and died April 15, 1892; he moved with his father to Clark Co., Ark. and settled at Grey's Ferry on Little Missouri river in 1816, and has been for seventy-five years a highly esteemed citizen, for a number of years an honored Mason, and for forty-five years a faithful member of the M.E. Church, South. By his death we loose a kind neighbor, and affectionate father, a wise counsellor and guide. We have often hear him say, this has been a happy world to me; I have always lived at peace with my fellow-man. He now sleeps at Ebenezer by the side of his wife and five sons. He leaves three children to mourn their loss, and bids them good-night, but not goodbye. A. Friend. ____________________________________________________________________________ Arkansas Methodist, Volume XI, No. 33, January 5, 1893, page 7, column 1. ____________________________________________________________________________ HTML file and design by David Kelley, 1997.
