He professed faith in Christ at the age of 38 years and united with the Free Will Baptist church and lived a devoted Christian life until death. Bro. Lafontaine held family prayer in his home until he could talk no longer. To them one child was born, "Little Mary" as we all knew her, but only lived to brighten their home until she was seven years old. Bro. Lafontaine bore his afflictions with patience although he was the confined to his bed some time. All the medical aid that could be obtained failed to relieve him of his afflictions. All who knew him well knew that his life was a good example for us to follow. Bro. Lafontaine leaves a wife, one half-brother to mourn his death. Bro. Vanwinkle, the half brother, was at his bedside when death came. He made many warm friends during his short stay here. Funeral services were conducted by Bro. Smallwood at the Baptist church to a large crowd of friends. Text: Ephesians 3: 30-21, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Painter cemetery by the side of his little girl to await the resurrection morn, when he will hear well done thou good and faithful servant enter into the joys of they Lord." We all extend to Sister Lafontaine our sympathy in this sad hour, who stood by his bedside so faithfully administering to this every want for so long. May the sprit of God console and lead her along life's pathway. | Transcription Penny Cooper Bailey Death Certificate Phyllis Long Photo Jay Trace Obit Donna Cooper |
