It is our constant aim to afford those we serve a service complete in 
every detail, faultlessly executed in commemoration of a life that can 
henceforth be but a fond memory; and if our service has helped to ease 
your burden in any way, then our aim has been accomplished.

Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church 
Decatur County, Georgia 
Reverend Willie Kegler, Pastor 
Reverend Cleveland Sanders, Officiating 
was born March 13,1922 in Decatur County, Georgia to the 
late Reverend William Fountain and Mrs. Sarah Middleton 
Fountain. 
He attended school in Decatur County until the 
seventh grade. At which time he left school to help his 
family on the farm. He accepted CHRIST at an early age 
and joined Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Cyrene, 
Georgia. Deacon Fountain served faithfully in various 
capacities at Mount Zion. His most memorable role was 
that of Adult Sunday School Teacher. 
Matthew was united in Holy Matrimony to the former 
Beulah Gadson. To this union two children were born; one 
of whom, Gary Anthony Fountain, preceded him in death. 
He served his country and was a World War II 
Veteran. A dedicated employee of Engelhard Minerals and 
Chemical, Fountain worked as a master welder. He was a 
loyal member of the NAACP, the Civic and Progressive 
League and the American Legion Post #502. 
Deacon Fountain was called Home to be with The 
LORD on Sunday, December 6,2009, leaving to cherish his 
memories a loving and devoted wife, Beulah Fountain; one 
devoted daughter, Lindajohnson (Christopher) of Augusta, 
Georgia; three grandchildren: Christopher Johnson, David 
Johnson, and Alicia Fountain; three sisters-in-law: Lucy G. 
Wright of Tallahassee, Florida, Waver Fountain of 
Bainbridge, Georgia, and Inez Fountain of Alachua, Florida; 
and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. 
Dont gri'eue for me, for norn I am free. 
I'm following the path GOD has laid for me. 
I took HIS hand when I heard HIS call, 
I turned my back and left it all. 
I could not stay another day 
to faugh, to loue, to uiorfe or play. 
Tasks left undone must stay that u>ay. 
I found peace at the close of the day. 
If my parting has left a do id, 
then fill it with remembered joys. 
A friendship shared, a laugh, a ki'ss- 
Ah yes, these things too I shall miss. 
Be not burdened with time of sorrow; 
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. 
My life's been full; Ive savored much: 
good friends, good memories, my familys loue. 
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; 
dont lengthen it nou> rnith undue grief. 
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee. 
GOD rnanted me noio; 
HE has set me FREE. 
When life is done, 
Do not shed tears, 
Death is not a time of sadness, 
Just the end of years. 
It should be a joyous time, 
A time of glee, 
A time to remember the good 
Times shared with thee. 
For a life spent is a life blessed, 
And a body departed 
Is a soul gone home to rest.
