A Good Servant
In memory of a good deacon in the Church
Brother J. W. Huckaby was a deacon in Harmony Church in Mena, Arkansas. He was helpful in teaching new members and gifts in the church. He taught some their duties as messengers to the Salem Association. He also taught some to be song leaders in the Church.
Harmony Church lost a good leader and brother at this death. His memory lingers with us as a friend, neighbor, and brother in the Church.
Brother Huckaby always announced the meetings of Harmony Church, and invited people to the Church and to the Salem Association. Although, it has been some time since this brother has passed away, his name is remembered as a great servant to the Church.
Written by one that loved him, and served with him in the Church.
