DIED IN .vemher 16, 1881 at 9 O'Clock
A. NJ, JAMES Nc, son of JOSIAH and
HULDAH DAVIS. of Woodsfield, Ohio
aged 33 years months and 90 days.
Deceased died of typhoid fever in Iron
County, Missouri, at the residence OF
Mr.. Joseph Phillips, where he was kind
ly nursed and bis wants minis:ered to
by Mr. Philips and family. A letter was
written notifying his friends Of his i'll
ness, but to their lasting regret it was
delayed and not received until it was too
late to g. to him. A short time fore
he dies he said, "God is taking ma
home," and inquired what time it was
On being told that it was 8 O'Clock he
said, my sa1 is almost down. On
being asked il he was prepared for death
he replied, "Oh, yes," and folded his
hands across his breast and died with
out struggle. Thus in strange land
his sun went down without a struggle.
Far from father mother and home. he died;
Far from Pierce and Pheba, Yeager aud Lde.
Strangers hands his wants attended;
Alone with strangers his journey ended.
Strangers smoothed his pillow and brow:
Strangers laid him where he is resting now.
But Mack was not stranger to Gospel truth,
For he was born of the Spirit while yet a
youth;
And through his life and sickness he had a
friend
That iourneyed with him even unto the end;
Was with him when he drew his latest breath
Went with him over the Jordan of death.
Farewell, we will watch for thy coming no
more.
None ever return that reach that cloudless
But ere long the angel of death will summon
US too,
Then we will cross the river and come to you

1881, near Rinard's Mil, Monroe Co ,
Ohio, Charles Oscar. son of Alfred and
Ruth TAYLOR, aged 9 years, Z months

The unexpected death of this dear
departed one, calls for a passing tribute
to his memory, from one who has known
and loved him well. Charlie was a very
intelligent little bov; loved by all who
knew him He leaves large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn bis loss !;
hut the 'sllver chord was broken; the
gates came ajar;" and the angels bore
his spirit home, to the land Of light and
love. And though his earthly part, his
tabernacle of clay, returns to its orig
iual dust. our jov, our consolation, our
confidence is that he has "buIlding of
God; an house not made With hands
eternal in the heavens May the rela-
livcs of the deceased not sorrow. as

grace 10 submit to the gracious will OF
