The Last Rebel Goes home to Glory 50108
 
on September 20, 1913 in Candler County Georgia
Woodrow Wilson Was President of the United States
The United States had yet to Enter World War I,
A First Class Postage Stamp cost 2 cents.
And Harvard went Undefeated to win th eNCAA Championship in Football that year
winning all 9 of its games.
The Philadelphia Athletics defeated the New York GIants for the World Series
And The czard ruled Russia.

9 1/2 decades later, we have been through two world wars,
And are in what is obviously the third one.
a first class stamp will soon be going to 42 cents.
Every President from Wilson through The Present Day has Spoken on Radio.
Every President from FDR THrough the PResidnet EDay has Spoken on Television.
The Internet has come into being.
The Atomic age has pitted nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
Only in a new way,
The Lusitania was torpedoed.
Two enemy sneak attacks against the Untied States at Sixty year intervals , one in 1941 the other in 2001 have happened.
The Cazrs were overthrown by the BOlsheviks in 1917,
Teh BOlsheviks were in turn overthrown 74 years later.
A Mad brute took control of europe in 1933 promising a thousand year reich.
it lasted 12.


And on this day May 1, 2008.

94 years 7 months and 11 days later

Big Daddy James Benjamin Brown

Is Now called Home to be with THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR ALL ETERNITY!

He has seen and done it all over nearly 9 1/2 Decades.

And HE WAS SO LOVED AND WILL BE SO MISSED
