MR.. EDlToR:-It becomes my
painful duty to write few words as
memorial in regard to the death of
William O., son of Charles and Re.
Decca burst, which took place on fine
zfth DAY OF April. Willie got up on
monday morning as usual, ate his
breakfast and started to his work on
'iie mill where he was employed as
sawyer. He made no complaint,
Whatever, of feeling unwell. At 8
O'CLOCK he was taken with a very
severe cramp in the stomach and
bowels. DR.. A. f. Speicher was sum.
hohed as soon as possible, but it
seemed that all medical aid and skill
was IN vain. However, in the evening
ne seemed much better, and every one
was hopeful of his recovery. But on
tuesday morning about o'clock, he
seemed to show some uneasiness, and
IN few minutes he was a lifeless
corpse. This was unexpected to all,
ana produced one of the greatest
shocks this community has ever ex-
perlenced. A stout, healthy. hale
young man one day, the next corpse.
Willie was very kind, gentle, SYM
pathetic and courteous in his manners
and character, and by these excellent
qualities had endeared himself to
Everybody. He was loved by every
body who had learned to know him,
and ne always met one with smile
uponh his face. In business he was
firm aad punctual. He has had en-
tire cottrol of the writer's saw mill for
more tfan two years, and always run
it with tcuccess, and it will be long
time until his place can be filled again.
if ever. Willie was a member of the
M. e. Chtrch, was baptized in infan-
cy and connected with the church
when quite young. He was also Sc
lected as Sunday School teacher a
few days since, but his class never
had the opportunity of meeting him,
as the Lord saw otherwise for him in
the other world. Willie was born
May 23d, 1861. Died April 24th, aged
q years, II months and l day.
Ny sorrowing fiends arise and go,
About thy house with patient care,
The hand that bows thy head so low,
VIII bear the ills thou cans't not bear
We miss him o, so sadly yet we know It's all
in vain,
For he loves his home so dearly, he'll meier
return again,
He will not come to cheer us, when desolate
and sad,
His merry cheerful face no more will make
us glad.
Your dear Willie there will wait,
Right near our Fathers throne,
And welcome you at the golden gate;
To the beautiful, beautiful home.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. H. E. Friend, Pastor. His
remains were inferred in the NJ. E..
Church yard, and were followed to
theirlast resting place by very large
concourse of sorrowing friends. The
pail bearers were Messrs. Asa, Will
liam H. and Richard A. burst, G. j..
Gnagey, Jesse Butler and Charles
Stark.
ResOIUed, That while WE bow in
submissive resignation to the will of
Him who holds life and death in His
own hands, we are deeply sensible of
the loss our neighbOrhood has sus-
tanned, In being deprived of the pres
ence and labOrs one of who was so
faithful and devoted to his work, and
whose gentleness of manner and ami
ability of character had endeared him
to US all.
But the beautiful clay will sink in decay,
And the earthly raiment will fade,
But the spirit refined and no longer confined,
Is in fadeess beauty arrayed.
Yes, the loved one has gone from his earthly
home,
To one eyer-during and fair,
For he lives with the blest. in the land of rest,
In the beautiful home over there,
1t is glandsome spring ana the birds will sing,
And nature its beauty unfold
But naught can compare with his home over
there,
For the half has never been told.
0 the glorious hope that bears the beart up,
When loved ones are taken away,
That again we shall meet in communion
sweet.
In the land that is fairer than day.
G. J. o.
