Typhoid fever Elias Barnhar aged is years 3mons and
days
During his illness which lasted about two weeks HI.
suffering was intense the greater part Of the me he
was dcranged yet he bore his suffering with resgna
tion which was remarkable He was of kind and amia
bic disposition having ready smile and cheerful
word for all and thus endeared himself all who knew
him. 1t may be truly said of him
"None knew him but to love him;
None spoke Of him but to praise
He was dutiful son. an chectonae brother and the
entire community his loss Oh 1t is hard to take
to heart the lesson that such deaths will teach When
death strikes down the young-the pride Of the family
ciTce-the hope Of our countTy-and in the yigor OF
manhoodt Is hard to be resigned to say "Thy will be
done" Yet il is a lesson which all must learn
Father mother look by faith beyond ho tomb, where
families will be reunited, and where parting is
lie Is only passed on before and in short few
short years at most--you will be with him.
Let all live that when the summons comes we can
render account with JOY and not with grief
That family band alas is broke,
An empty seat appears;
In vain wait his coming feet,
With eyes sutfused with tears.
That lJfty brow-tboss radiant eyes,
Where checifuluess we trace,
That noble Youthful form Is wrlpt .
In deaths stern, cod embrace
Beneath yon little mound Of earth
In yondcr yard he's laid
Reclining ON his pillow hard
Marked by the willow shade.
"Be also ready" is the voice
That's whispering in ear
''Por in an hour when we think not,
To us He may appear" III D.
