THOMAS WILSON MARTIN.
Mr.. Martin was born May 2nd, 1888,
and died March 10th, 1895; aged 81 years
10 months IA days. The beginning of his
Sickness took place about mid winter,
when he contracted a very severe Geld,
which developed into an almost constant
cough and lung trouble. At times he
seemed to rally and give tie most sangulne
hopes to his friends and neignbors that he
would recover, but this most generally
was followed a more severe attack which
caused the anxiety of his friends and
neighbors to rise To the highest pitch.
From better to worse be continued for two
months, when about one day before his
death he took a decided change TOR the
worse. and although everything possible
was done by his loving brothers and SIS
ters. friends and family physician, nothing
seemed to avail anything for him and he
passed quietly away near the dawnIng Of
the day March 10th. Do we not believe
and hope that it was dawning of a new
day, infinitely better, brighter and
happier tnan any day that he ever spent
here below.
Mr.. Martin lived and died in the inmedi-
ate community in which be was born,
being the oldest of large family ana new
er married IL was his privilege to be
win that family until it was broken up
by death aud marriage, then be went u
his brother, Wm Martins, and made his
nome there until tue time of his death.
lie was consistent member IN the
Brognsdale U. p. Churcn and nothing bur
sickness deprived him Uf the privileges oi
the public sanctuary. la his death the
church mas lost an honOred member; one
FhO held the interest of his church at
heart.
Oar entire neighborhood rises up 10 tes-
tify of the kind disposition of our dsparteI
brother. / verify believe never met any
one more IN touch with the Golden rule
do unto Others as y"u would have 9th
ers do unto You than he. No one ever
went 10 him for hell bat what ne receiv
ed il, if il was in his power ~ give. He
wa a most pleasant neighbOr all his life,
ready aud willing % minister to his neigh
bnrs every want whenever called upon
4ndI kusw | speak the truth when | say
that he died without leaving an enemy
behind; most precious record indeed.
What precious legacy this is To leave be-
mad. Who can estimate its worth or
fathom its depth or measure its influence
Thomas is gone but as the years roll on
yoa will ever find his Foot Prints on the
Sands Of Time"
Tae funeral services were held in the
Broxnsdale U. p. Church Rev. Gilfillan,
his pastor for the past year was assisted
by Rev."R. = McClester, of Butler,
former pastor Of his. Both spoke in high
est terms in regard to the departed friend
and brother The church was filled with
friends and neighbors who came that they
might pay their last respects to the one
they had known TO love 80 well.
Now TO these brothers, sisters and
friends who 80 keenly felt the loss of thi.
departed brother, let me say. thar God
stands IN the midst of all these sad ProvI-
dences and bereaYements ready and will
ing 10 bind up the broken heart and stop
the raining tears, If we but trust him we
can live in the happy anticipation Of some
day meeting this brother in heaven.
And OBJ What glorious meeting in
neayen that will be, wheI all the members
of he household here b3low shall unitedly
surround the marriage supper Of the lamb.
There theg Shall meet at Jesus feet
Nlhil ulbfJ W phlb Hp Nv Oib N hD-
sent; bright faces shall meet there; bound
ing hearts will meet there; and on the
banks Of the river Of of life they will walk
haud in hand as they did unitedly here
below. No more separation; no more ly
ing down on beds Of pain; no more sinking
into the arms Of deatb no more tears
For the Lamb which is IN the midst OF
the throne shall feed us and lead us into
living fountains Of waters, ana God shall
" pc away all tears from our eyes.
Happy thought indeed IL this the oEly
spnrce Of comfort IN our aiH ctons aud be-
reayements. Take up the language of the
Poet and make IL your own aud then you
can sing
eve shall 70 home 10 our fathers house;
To our fathers house in thGakies,
Where the hope Of our souls shall have
no blight;
Our love no broken ties,
We shall roam on the banks Of the river
Of Peace,
And bathe in its bissful tide;
And one Of the joys Of our heaven shal
be,
To meet the loved one that has died. "
