P. Vangundy was born May 13, 1850, departed
this life Feb. 10, 1902, age 51 years, 8 months and 27 days. He was married to
Ella Barnhart Johnson, May 27, 1878. He had the misfortune of losing his father
in boyhood, when boys most need a father’s counsel, thus leaving him largely to
fight life’s battles alone. He early in life sought Christ and found in Him a
true counselor in all the conflicts of life, and in his last struggle for life
he said to his pastor that if it were not for Christ he could not endure the
suffering. But he bore his sufferings patiently, waiting for death’s relief. He
united with the Garfield Christian Church soon after its organization and
remained one of its warmest supporters till God called him to join the church
triumphant. The funeral occurred Feb. 12, 1902, at the Garfield Christian
Church, services being conducted by Rev. T. Woody, assisted by Rev. Brown, of Darlington . Interment was at Friends’ Cemetery at Darlington . -s
