In Memory of Mr. Brown Haigler, May 25, 1920

From The Monroe Journal, May 25, 1920

In Memory of Mr. Brown Haigler

Mr. Brown Haigler, who was born near Unionville nearly 75 years ago, died at his home in Macon, Ga., May 11th. Early that morning he went to the home of his daughter and afer talking to her a short time stepped out on the porch and fell. Before help could reach him he had passed through the "Valley of the Shadow of Death."

Mr. Haigler was a Confederate veteran and a man who lived close to God. He was twice married and is survived by 10 children, four of whome live in Union County. A few days before his death Mr. Haigler wrote to his children that he was coming to North Carolina for a visit this summer and all his relatives were looking forward to seeing him with much pleasure. He was a man ever ready to lighten the burden on weaker shoulders and all who came in contact with him realized that God dwelt in his soul.
