Griffin Bruner

BRO. GRIFFON BRUNER died at his residence, Alto Springs, Falls county, Texas, in January, 1877. He was born in Williamson county, GA., November 7, 1796; was married in 1815, and with his wife and two children moved to Alabama in 1820, and was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1822, at Lye Branch, Tuskaloosa county, Ala., and lived a faithful servant of God up to his death. He was a good class-leader, and was always at his post. When the summons called from labor to rest he was ready, and could say:"I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, and henceforth there is a crown laid up for me; and not for me only, but for every faithful soldier of Jesus Christ." And so Bro. Bruner was called from labor to rest, sweet rest. The writer of this, having known Griffon Bruner for fifty-five years, has not told half of the good that the faithful man of God has done.
