| | Rev. T. H. Padgett, 1842-1926 |
 | | I completed the course in law at Cleveland, Tennessee, under Mayfield and Hoyles; practiced law in Charleston, Tennessee, for a while, but, feeling the call to the ministry, I gave up the law and entered the ministry in the Ocoee Presbytery. |
 | | We feel that in his selection of this place to be buried, he has conferred an honor and a blessing on this church and community, for we are sure that a great man and a prince sleeps in our midst. |
 | | Brother Padgett was born in Rutherford County, North Carolina, December 19, 1842, and moved with his parents when a child to Charleston, Bradley County, Tennessee, where he completed his education and soon after was happily married to Miss Nancy Ann Carmack, who preceded him to the grave many years ago. |
