Rev. Harrison Farthing, one of the noted Baptist ministers of this section of the country, died at his home on Beaver Dam Saturday, interment being in the cemetery near Bethel Church Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Farthing has at one time or other perhaps been pastor of every Baptist Church in Watauga County and was known and loved throughout the length and breadth of his native county as a Christian gentleman of the highest type, wielding a might influence for good wherever he went. Watauga has never produced a more Godly man.
County Superintendent Hagaman, an intimate friend of the deceased, has written a beautiful article in this issue dealing with the life of this grand old gentleman, which will be of special interest.
