"O World, I Now M ust Leave Thee"
O world, I now must leave thee, But little doth it grieve me, I seek my native land; True life I there inherit, And here I yield my spirit
With joy to God's all-gracious hand. So on His Word relying, I know while I am dying I seen shall see His face
Through Christ whose death hath bought me, The Father's love He brought me, And now prepares for me a place. The grave hath lost its terrors Since for my sins and errors My Saviour doth atone: My works can nought avail me, But His work cannot fail me, I rest in faith on Him alone. My service cannot merit That I should e'er inherit Eternal life with Christ: But He hath freely given A share with Him in heaven O f that fair heritage unpriced. And so I hence am going In peace, full surely knowing With Him is perfect rest; I feel Death's icy finger, My soul here cannot linger, Now would I stay--to go is best. O world, I yet would teach thee That Death will surely reach thee, That thou must follow me; Then while thy days are lengthen'd Pray that thy faith be strengthen'd That God have mercy too on thee!

Hilt of J>Jf.C. Urtljur Charles: Bu&lep "3LC."
A rthur "A .C " was the son of the late Acy Dudley and the late Lilia Williams Dudley Russ. He entered this life on January 2, 1922, in Panama City, Florida (Milville). He was the only child.
At the age of four, he was sent to live with his loving and devoted Christian maternal grandmother, Abby Lee Williams, whom he dearly loved and cherished. "A.C." as he was affectionately called, was loved and cherished by his grandmother. A.C. was literally reared with his uncles, and being close in age with his youngest uncle, Anderson, he grew up as a brother to all of them. His mother was the first born of Abby Lee, and A.C. was the first grandchild for eight years. A.C. remained with his grandmother until the age of seventeen. He decided to go back to Panama City, where he remained until he was called for duty during WWII.
He not only served in WWII, but also the Korean War, where he was awarded The Distinguished Service Cross (second highest honor in the nation), among many others. He was honored as a Korean War hero. A plaque is placed on the Heroes Overlook (Augusta Riverwalk) in honor of his bravery during the Korean War Conflict. He was honored on December 6, 2004 at the dedication of the Korean War Monument where his name is placed on the monument at Fourth and Broad Street, Augusta, Georgia. Above all of his accolades the most important is: He was a child of God and prayed asking God for guidance and to help him to treat everybody right.
He has crossed many rivers across the United States, Germany, Japan and Korea. Thanks be to God, on Friday morning, March 4, 2005, during the early morning hours, he accepted the ultimate challenge and crossed over from this life into Life Eternal!!!

Religious Church Affiliations: He was one of the founders of Servants of God Baptist Church where he remained and attended faithfully even after his health failed. He would still attend, being brought in his wheelchair. He loved the Lord and his Church family. His favorite song was " The Lord Is Blessing Me."
Organizations: Disabled Veterans Association, Veterans of Foreign War, American Legion Jack C. Fortune Post No. 205, Georgia Sheriff's Association, National Association of Uniformed Services (NAUS), Sergeant Harold F.
