Calamity
WORTHY CITIZEN.
Mr.. w. E. Gilbert is dead f!

Mr.. w. E. Gilbert is dead!
Our heart is bowed in deepest grief
and our eyes are suffnsed with tears as
our trembling fingers pen the above
| lines.
Our friend, tried and true from boy
hood, one of natures noblemen, is dead |!
He was man we loved, because he was
| worthy OF it. He had those attributes
OF character that called forth the affec-
tion of every heart that is capable of
approaching true, manly worth.
Yes, our friend Will Gilbert, is dead.
His pure, gentle soul winged its way
back to the God who gave it on Tues
day night at II O'Clock He had been
sick some four weeks or more with ty-
phoid fever. From the very start his
doctor was apprehensive, but with de-
voted attention he tried to stay the in
siduous ravages of disease and restore
him back to health and family and
friends; but. alas it was not to be.
He was born in Athens, Tenn, but
was raised in Marietta, and was so
years old the tenth of this month.
A half century of a we'll spent life a
man who loved his fellow man, whose
heart and pocket always responded to
the cry of distress or to the appeal for
noble causes.
He had been a merchant in Marietta
during his busy life. He married Miss
Lucy Harper, of Hickory, Miss, in 1875,
and to this happy union there is living
four boys and four girls. His surviving
wife can truthfully say that he was
model husband, as he certainly was
model citizen. He was man that
hated meanness and corruption, and
who upheld that which was righteous
and honest.
/ tie was stewart and trustee of the
Methodist church, and those who knew
him can testify to his oonsecrated
Christian life. If there was man in
Marietta that the people had confidence
in. that man was w. E. Gilbert.
What profound loss it is then to
community to lose such man. An
honest man, apure man and Christ
ian, whose life was Giving epistle
known and read of all men," and whose
influence was always on the side of the
pure, the true and the good.
He leaves rich legacy of noble
deeds, nobly lived, and an unblemished
character He has fought the good
light and kept the faith, and has won
crown of righteousness.
He was chairman of the county Board
of Education and had been Alderman
! several times. In church and in Sun
day School work he was active and al
ways to be relied upon.
He was brother of Mr.. Alb. Gilbert i,
a merchant of this place, and broth
in-law of Rev. w. F. Glenn, D. D., ed
itor Wesleyan Christian Advocate. His
son Alban, is assistant cashier of
the First National Bank of Marietta,
and son, Edwin, has charge of his faith
er's store.
We shall miss him, and we mourn
his death, but glad to believe that he
has gone to larger sphere of useful
ness in the upper and better kingdom.
To the bereaved family and brother
we tender our sincere sympathy.
The funeral will be held at the Meth
odist church Thursday morning, August
18th, at 10 o'clock, and all friends, ac-
quaintances and citizens are invited
