HoGuE--Died at his home, near
Arnettsville, Mononogalia county,
W. Va, on Thursday, April LIST, 1897,
John G. Hogue, aged, rs years and
months. The deceased had been
a member of the M. E. church so
years age, but when the Discipline

of class meeting test of member
ship, his name was dropped, and he
never united with any church there

giver to the cause of Christ, all
through life. Funeral services
were held at his home at 10 o clock
on the following Saturday, Revs.
J. M. Boland and W. N. Stewart Of
ficiating. A very large concourse Of
friends and relatives were present
and followed the remains to their
last resting place, on beautiful
knoll, in full view of where he had
spent his life, less than half a
mile from home. We extend the
sympathy of the community to the
bereaved friends in their sore Attic
ton. Bat t...cir loss is Heavens gain
the door ever stanGs siar, and all
who will may enter in and be forever
happy. Jesus loves us all, and calls
us just at the right time, leaves
none of us too long nor takes non
too soon. The thought of getting
to Heaven and mingling with our
loved ones, who have gone before,
and are watching and waiting and
reckoning us on, where we shall be
| free from pain and sorrow. Signing
shall fee away. 1t smooths the path
of life softens the bed of death, and
lights up the way across the chilly
waters of death; Oh blessed is this
consolation. Mr. Hogue had been
gradually wearing away for several
years and was we'll aware that his
time here was rapidly drawing to a
close, he had made full arrangements
to go. And as he approached the
close of life, he was go calm and
self-composed, saying to his loving
friends, don't weep after me, dom t
do it, ! am ready just waiting and
Twill soon be at rest. Oh, blessed
rest, how sweet it will be, none but
they who have entered there will
ever be able to realize. Mr.. Hogue
was never married, but acted faith
full part as father to his deceased
brothers children. Oh, how these
girls will miss Uncle John, that fam
| liar voice will never cease to ring
in their ears. But it seems that
such persons should come to their
graves in full age, like shock Of
corn cometh in his season, and yields
at last calmly to the Great Reaper
death"
His busy hands are folded
His work on earth is done,
His trials are ended,
His Heavenly Grown Is won
