OBITUARY.
A bright light has gone out. A va
cancy has happened in home which
never can be filed. Mr.. Luther S.
Sizemore is no more. Those who
would hereafter seek him must go to
the silent tomb. There cold and stiff
are the lifeless remains of one who
possessed those good qualities aud
kind disposition which naturally won
everybody for his friend. He was an
exemplary young man and none knew
him but to love him and none spoke OF
him but to praise him.
The subject of this sketch was born
June 20, 1873, He was one of those
persons who was naturally possessed
with weak constitution and we pre-
sumo that be never saw day of per-
feet health in all his life. Some time
within the past year he was taken
with the pneumonia fever. in which an
abcess of the lungs followed.
Good physicians, kind friends and
relatives did all they could do, and
for days and months he lay helpless
invalid until few months ago be be-
came cOnvalescent aud was able to get
up and go about till four days before
his death when he suddenly became
i'll and remained unconscious till his
death which occurred Tuesday night,
October 16, 1894.
Poor Luther! his sufferings are all
ended now and we believe he has gone
to rest. What a sweet comfort and
consolation it must be to that one who
has thus suffered so much from pangs
and pains of the disease to leave this
world OF sufferings and pains here be-
low and go to a world which is far bet
ter-where sufferings and sickness are
no more known forever.
The writer was intimately acquaint-
ed with deceased and although he new
err made any outward profession of
religion, we have some evidence that
at some time during his life in secret
he gave his heart to God and found
sweet peace with Jesus.
The orbate family have the entire
sympathy Of all who know them. He
leaves father and mother and two
SiS fn n
good Lord comfort. bless and bind
their broken hearts in this sad hour of
bereavement. May they know what
God does is for the better. 1.-The Lord
hath given and the Lord hath taken
away; blessed be the name of the Lord"
May we all be prepared to meet him.
A large concourse gathered in the
Methodist Church and his funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. j. II.
Hurley, aftor which his body was taken
to Iron Mountain and deposited in its
last resting place.
Some time we will awake, and our eyes
Behold fair hills of Paradise;
Some day, some time, a sweet new rest
Shall blossom, flower like in each breast;
Some time, some day, our eyes shall see
The face kept in memoryi
Some time our hands will clasp dear Luther's
hand,
Just over the morning land.
Some day our ears shall hear the song
OF triumph over sin and wrong,
Some time, some time, but oh, not yet!
Sill we shall wait and not forget,
That some time all these things shall be
And rest be given to you and me.
So let US wait, though the years move slow,
That glad some time viii came we know.
Dea:h is a melancholy call,
A certain judgment for us all;
1t takes the young as well as old,
And takes them in his arms so cold!
It's awful, awful, awful.
