From The New Era August 26, 1869 RICHARD ALBERT FORREST Oct 4 1783 - Aug. 8, 1869 It is with regret that we have to chronicle this death, but doubtlessit was with emotions of delight by the recording angel of the other world whence he has happily taken his flight. This good man was born in North Carolina, October 4, 1873, moved toEast Tennessee when a young man and on 9 January 1809, moved to WarrenCounty and located on Collins River where he lived and died. Early in life,he took up the Cross of Christ and was ordained in the ministry onOctober 9, 1842, and was during his seventy years a worthy and beloved memberof the Baptist Church and for twenty seven years labored almostincreasing as a minister of the Gospel, proclaiming the tidings of eternal lifeto his fellow mortals. He raised twelve children and had great, great grand children to riseup and call him blessed. He prayed that he might live and see his country free once more. The closing act of his life was to vote in the late election. He cast his vote for liberty and with a feeble and trembling hand from his death bed, he delivered it in trust to those whodeposited it according to the law in the ballot box. And when the old man heardit was received, and felt he was instrumental, ere his departure inbreaki the tyrants band, he rejoiced, and thanked God and died in peace. On the 8th day of August, he breathed his last in the full faith of a better world in the 87th year of his age.
