IN MEMORY OF Mr. CHAs. THORN
BURG.-Yesterday just as the sun was
crossing the meridian of day and amid
the solemn notes as they pealed from
yon belfry arch, all that remained NOR
tai of Mr. Charlie Thornburg was laid
to rest in the silent city of the dead,
Green Hill Cemetery. He was born in
1868, Sept nth, on the Bentz farm in
this county and died Monday morning,
March the 18th, between the hours of
10 and II a. III. None knew him but
to admire him kind at heart, loyal and
generous. Life was to him most dear
as it is to you or l. He lived not for
himself but for the good of others He
believed in the existence of Almighty
God to whom he knew he must give
an account of that final and great day
of reckoning. Mr.. Thornburg was I'M
til some months ago an employee in
the Peoples National Bank, acting in
the capacity of collector until the fangs
of that dreaded disease, consumption,
had fastened itself upon him and claim
ed him its victim He was a member
of the Presbyterian Church and lived
an exemplary life, having but a year or
so ago entered into manhood. This is
the third member of this bereaved
family that has been laid i'll the tomb
within the bounds of a year. i little
over week ago a sister passed away,
and it does seem as if the addage which
says the old must die and the young
may die should be reversed as SO many
young people have been called away
during this part of our new year
Charlie died only as a christian can,
giving full assurance of the rest into
which he was about to enter He was
often heard to say that he longed to be
with his brother who died last summer !;
they were linked in such brotherly love
! that Charlie could not realize why they
were separated And now mourning
friends we commend you to our kind
Father i'll Heaven He can all our
sorrows heal. These earthly ties are
only broken to be united in that land
where parting is unknown. His col
leagues in the bank closed their doors
during the hours ofthe funeral and bore
him to the tomb amid fearful eyes
I Charlie was aged 20 years, months
and days.
Tenderly lay him down to rest,
Place the turf kindly on his breast,
Sweet is the slumber beneath the sod,
While the pure SOUL resting with God.
Peacefully sleep
Sleep till that morning
Peacefully sleep. ?.
