Dr John Henderson Hundley

Gospel preacher. He began the Mooresville, AL church of Christ. See Scott Harp's Web site for information about John Hundley.

John H. Hundley Our beloved and venerable father, Elder John H. Hundley, died at his home, on the evening of January 3rd, 1881, after an illness of several months. Well may it be said of him, "How blest the righteous when he dies." Although we are grieved to give him up, yet it is a sweet consolation to know that he was a veteran soldier of the cross, an earnest and faithful laborer in his Master's vineyard for thirty years, and now, having completed his eighty-fourth year, he has left us, to dwell in a far brighter home, to meet his just reward, and to give an account of his faithful stewardship. Not only will his sons miss the wise counsel of a kind father, but his faithful wife, herself nearing four-score years, who has stood by his side through life's rugged trials, will miss the sacred companionship of a noble husband. Yes, his neighbors, friends, and especially the poor will ever remember the many deeds of charity, and the words of comfort he has oft-times extended them in hours of adversity. He was pastor of the Christian church at Mooresville, nor, until ill health compelled him to resign, did he ever give up his much loved work. Although a great sufferer, when able to converse he would gather his family around him, and with renewed strength, his eyes brightening with celestial light, he would delight in talking to them of the great hereafter, admonishing them ever to continue in a closer walk with God, to devote their lives to the Master's cause which example he had set before them. He was the oldest and last one of five brothers. His remains were interred in the cemetery at Huntsville, where loving hands will ever watch, and attend the hallowed spot:

Oh! for the death of him, Who slumbers in the Lord. Oh! be like his, our last repose, Like his, our last reward.

An Israelite In Whom There Was No Guile; For He Turned Many To Righteousness, And Will Shine As The Stars Forever And Ever.
