mamma; because you told us SO,
can pick up their bruised bodies
with a more perfect consolation
than all the wise men could give
her if they talked a thousand years.
The wife of George Moses, when
the flood beat down the house, sang
"Jesus, Lover ofmy Soul until the
dauntless spirit Of simple unpre-
tentious faith took no note of fear
of death. Then another women on
a raft came whirling through the
awful night, and the watches on
the shore heard her singing as the
swan sings when it floats down hap
PLY to death. High over that
rushing swirling horror came
that voice:
Other refuge have none,
Clings my helpless soul to Thee
Then there was a crash and the
song was still.
1t may be all wrong to believe
these things that scientists, who
cannot even explain why the blood
circulates and the little finger is
moved, tell us are fairy stories, but
it seems to US that when some
great trouble comes and death
itself is near, the faith that meets
them with song upon the lips is
a good thing to have. 1t may be
foolish but it is infinitely sweet.

Obituary.

Died, July 18th 1889, at his
home IN this county, William III.
and noTtsp 9s dsSytE ags5y9' years, 8 months
Mr.. Horton was born in Caswell
county, North Carolina, January
22d A. ID. 1874. When he was 4
years old his father, George Hor-
ton, moved to Tennessee and
settled in Sumner county. Here
the SUBJECT of this sketch grew to
manhood. He first came to Mis-
souri, in 1886, and remained about
one year when he returned to
Tennessee, and married Miss
Malinda Hanes, who still survives
him and has been true and
faithful wife and help meet dur
ing all the more than half century
they lived together. Mr.. Horton
with his young wife returned to
Missouri in 1897, and settled in
Randolph county near Huntsville.
He lived there about one year
and then moved to Adair county,
bought land Z miles n. E. of
Kirksyille, and had made his
home there and in the immediate
vicinity ever since. He was one
among the first settlers in Adair
county, and while very reticent,
being a man for home and attend
ing strictly to his own business,
he always had a kind welcome for
strangers and was a very accom-
modating and obliging neighbor.
The writer will always hold him
in grateful remembrance for deeds
of kindness and words of cheer
when first in the vicissitudes of
life he was thrown into Mr.. Hor-
toms neighborhood.
BY industry and careful dealing
he, in his chosen occupation,
farming, gained enough of this
worlds goods to enable him some
years before his death to retire
from active farm life. He raised
a family of ten children, four
sons and six daughters, all Of
whom lived to be men and women,
and protested faith in Jesus
Christ .,J and united with the church.
Ihree sons and three daughters
still survive him.
MIR. Horton united with the
Baptist church in 1850, and was
baptized by Elder Hit, and has
aver since lead a consistent christ
Ianlife and died in the triumph of |
2 living faith On the evening be-
fore his departure he called his
grand children to mis- bed side |
