Departed this life, at Clinton, on the 24th ult. of congestive fever, after an illness of ten days, the Rev. P. B. Griffin, in the 42 year of his age. The remains of the deceased were brought to his residence in Claiborne county, and interred in the burying ground of the family.
In the death of this citizen, society has lost a truly amiable and useful member, the church a sincere and zealous advocate. A member of the Methodist persuasion, he shewed <sic> to his brethren an example of Christian kindness and charity; and by his persuasive eloquence in the pulpit, has been the honored instrument of his Creator, for confirming the wavering in their faith, and bringing the awakening sinner to a full knowledge of his conditions.
He has now gone to receive his reward, which those how know him must be satisfied will be bright and glorious.-- Commun.
