Emory G. Gurgamy departed this life Saturday, September 14 at 8:15 a.
m. at LaRue, Texas. He one of our best friends and we weep with those w
ho weep and mourn with the loved ones. He, like all men, had his fault
s, He was open in all he did. He spoke his thoughts before all me
n. He kept back nothing. His life is an open book. He was a good ma
n. We have known him over twenty years. He was a devoted member of the M
.E. Church South, had been since 1869. He served as her steward a long ti
me and nearly every time he answered to roll call. Rev. P. R. White on
ce said to me Mr. Emory Burgamy is the most regular attendant on New Yo
rk circuit. He paid his quarteage, paid his missions, paid for building p
arsonages, etc. He was a loving husband, a kind father and faithful frie
nd and a devoted Christian.
He was born in Spalding County, Ga., November 25, 1848. Married Decemb
er 8, 1870, same state and county, to Miss Lula J. Gordon, second cous
in to the noted (deceased) Gen. Jno. B. Gordon of Georgia. To this uni
on were born ten children. Only four living; three single and one grandc
hild, Essie Martin, lives with Mrs. Burgamy at LaRue. They have one marri
ed daughter, Mrs. Claudia Adair of Leagueville who has five children. Br
o. Burgamy was willing and ready to go. He was submissive and said, "T
hy will, not mine, be done." He said to this wife, "Mama, I have to lea
ve you and the children but just hold out faithful a little while longer a
nd we'll all be together where there will be no sad parting." He request
ed that Dr. Hall preach his funeral, and where he wanted to be burie
d. He had his niece, Mrs. Mamie Colston, to sing and pray for him. Wh
en she was singing "How Firm a Foundation" he said, "Those words affo
rd me great consolation." He joined in and sang "Nearer, My God, to thee
". He is saved, safe in a better world. God bless his dear wife and chil
dren and grandchildren. May they finally meet him in heaven.
B.C. Hall
