looking forward with bright anticipation
to the meeting which was held at the
home of j. j. Gladish the day after his
burial.
A large concourse of sym pathetic
friends attended the funeral services, con

MIR. Benton made profession OF religion
and was immersed the 9th day of last
July, since which time he often expressed
his thankfulness that God had spared his
life until he could see and accept the
religion of his dear Son. He often old
his family and friends that he could not
be a half way christian and he eventually
got consent of his mind to put on the
breast plate of righteousness, to go forth
in the service of his Master.
While il seems hard that a life should
be cut Off so ruthlessly, let us remember
that whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth;
if we endure Christening God dealeth with
us as with sons and daughters.
Mr.. Benton will be greatly missed
throughout The entire community, but
especially does the immediate family feel
the loss they are called upon to sustain,
Tor never again will he be seen coming up
the path leading 10 his humble doorway
with one or both of his little grand
children clinging to his arms; never
again will he sit in his accustomed place
under the old elm tree in front OF the
door; and yet we ought not to sorrow
because one more pilgrim has reached
home, rest and heaven, because one more
child of earth is walking with his Savior.
May our heavenly Father bless the
bereaved children and help them to with
stand the many trials OF this life, and
may we all be impressed with and realize
the truthfulness OF his last words "You'II

Every earthly tie is severed
Leaving us in sorrow here,
But tits Goo who has bereft US,
Every trial he will share.
Never let us be discouraged,
Time will bring us our reward;
Over in that blissful haven

A MEMORIAL.

Never was n more sudden and sad
shock circulated in our midst than when
the news that Mr.. e.. J.. Benton had died
last Thursday night was waited to the
ears of his many friends and ncGuain-
tances.
lie seemingly had enjoyed unusually
good health for the past few months, and
had spent the most of the day before
riding around the ~neighborhood making
short calls Mt different houses, quite
lively and jovial as was his nature, at
which time no one suspected that death
would claim him rs its own before
another day should dawn.
Returning from his I'VE might say
almost daily our of the neighborhood,
he sat at the table after supper until n
late hour in social conversation with his
family, relating the incidents and pleas
ures OF the day. But in less than one
hour, after awakening the household and
making known his trouble and suffering,
while all were doing what they could to
afford relief, his spirit took its flight to
the land prepared for the blest.
Erasmus lloyd Benton was born Feb
ruary Sd, 1919, near Georgetown, Scott
county, Kentucky, hence was 76 years, 4
months and ] day OF age--was the oldest
of five children.
Mr.. Benton made Kentucky his home
until 1896, when he moved with his
parents to Lafayette county and settled
four miles south of Lexington. In 1914
he returned to Kentucky and was mar
ried to Isabella Lakeland, after which he
came back To Missouri, and had been a
successful farmer at the home where he
died since the year 1859.
lie was the father of ten children, three
of whom with his wife who died October
9th, 1850, had preceded him to the better
land.
