Jesse M. Speight's obituary was printed in the Nashville and Louisville Christian Advocate, Thursday, July 22, 1853, and reads as follows:
Died, at his residence in Dickson county, Tenn, May 19, 1852, Mr. Jesse M. Speight, in the 47th year of his age.
Brother Speight was for fifteen years an acceptable member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which he has left to join the church triumphant on high.
Methodist preachers, as well as those of his own communion, received at his house a hearty welcome and were kindly and hospitably entertained and cared for.
His last illness was short, though severe; but he bore it with Christian fortitude and resignation, and met the last enemy with the courage of the true soldier, saying to weeping friends in his last hours, that he was not afraid to die, and that he was ready for the change of worlds.
He has left behind a bereaved widow, (sister of Rev. L. C. Bryan of Tennessee Conference,) and nine children. May God administer comfort in this dark hour, and enable them, by his grace, so to pass the waves of this weeping world, as ultimately to meet their loved and lost in the climes of light and love.
