The tollings Of deaths bell, as il
calls weary traveller home. never
fails to vibrate those chords of love
that bind all human hearts.
Such was the wave Of mingled sor-
row that passed over the people of
Back Greek Valley, upon hearing OF
the death of Uriah Saville. who de-
parted this life Nov. 10, 1896.
After a very impressive funeral
sermon by Rev. A. Kuhn. of the
Christian church, at ] p. m. Nov. II.
the remains of the deceased were laid
to rest in the Tomahawk cemetery.
He was almost constant sufferer.
but his continued pain seemed to him
a divine premonition that Gods won
derful goodness would take him away.
He had faith that could not
shrink. Well grounded. too. it was,
for he was a peaceful citizen, a friend
to all men, loving husband, aud a
true Christian.
A little while before the final end.
with wan, fevered face, he lisped to
God in prayer. He told him that he
was ready to go, and asked that he
might be freed from pain.
Then, like a watch-worn. weary
sentinel he stepped aboard the ship of
Zion, which, spreading its white sails
in the purple sea, set sail for eternity
And now, Oh, ship, your weary pinions
fold,
And rock to sleep upon the harbor's
breast;
That is the home by faith, his heart for
told,
Where he shall find activity and rest.
