William T. Lauderdale

William T. Lauderdale was born near Fayetteville, Tennessee, April 29,1829, and spent his entire life in this locality, save when he was a member of Forrest's Battery. He united with Cave Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church, under the ministry of Rev. J. B. Tigert about 1885, afterward transferring to Fayetteville. He was industrious, frugal, peace-loving, unassuming, pure, patient in suffering and a friend to the needy. In his death, which occurred February 7, 1900, the church lost an excellent member, and the community one of its best citizens. His wife and daughter survive him.l To them he left a sufficiency of property and the better heritage of the memory of his affection and devotion as a husband and father.
J. R. LAMB, Pastor
