January 20, 1875 - September 12, 1904
*Obituary
George T. Cone was born in Izard County, Ark., January 20, 1875 and breathed his last on the evening of September 14, 1904. Married Miss Annie Rector February 27, 1898. He was a prominent young man of our county. He followed teaching for quite awhile until his health gave way. He than sought the office of County Treasurer and was nominated and elected in 1902, and was re-elected in 1904, a few days before his death. He was honest, and attentive to the duties of his office and treated all nice and clever who had business with him.
He was a man of great magnitism; cheerful, generous in his nature and noble in his aspiration and purposed. He love the pure the true, the sincere, the noble, but dislike the pretentious, the hypocrite. He loved his family and church and the people, and best of all his Master.
Brother Cone leaves behind him father, three brothers, three sisters, and his devoted and loving wife and two precious children whom he loved--all of whom will miss him greatly as they continue life's journey without him.
This good man was laid to rest on September 15th, in New Liberty graveyard. Many were the friends who followed him to his resting place.
Bro. Cone professed faith in Christ in the fall of 1899 and was buried with Christ by baptism, and was connected with the New Liberty congregation at the time of his death. He has lived a devoted Christian life since the time he committed himself to God, and he has been transplanted to his reward in glory.
