William McKendree George Randle was born in DeKalb County, Georgia, May 5, 1830, and died in Hunt County, Texas, October 10, 1907.  Between the above dates was a great and very useful life.  Born of religious parents (his father a useful local preacher), he was converted and joined the Methodist Church in boyhood, and, so far as can be known, honored his membership for sixty-three years.  Not highly emotional, but intelligent, industrious and persistent, he developed a strong personality that counted much for good to the Church.  "He was reliable" is a strong saying, but none too strong.  As a captain in the Confederate Army, his men could never discover any sign of fear in the most dangerous places.  As citizen or Church member he was equally strong; let others do as they may, but as for me, I am the Lord's, was his continual purpose - a high aim.  In every office in the Church (he filled many of them), he was ever faithful.  So strong were his convictions that out of three different families he raised nine children in all; not one of them strayed from their father's Church.  Every one of the eight living children are members of the M.E. Church, South.  The writer of these lines has been in sight of Bro. Randle for more than sixty years and has more than once been his pastor, and three times his presiding elder, and all the time he has been heading the right way.  On October 1, 1907, the writer preached his funeral discourse to an immense crowd of people at South Sulphur, Texas, and laid his body to rest until the resurrection morning, when it will rise all Immortal.
