CULLEOKA.

Culleoka, Sept. lon Sunday morn
ing, Sept. 20. 1901, Mr.. William Wal
lace Cochran died at his home in Gull
leoka, after three weeks illness with
typhoid fever. All that skilled physi-
clans, trained nurse, and loved ones
could do, was done to save him, but
in vain. Conscious almost to the last,
he made arrangements for his business,
and had parting word for all around
him. He expressed his willingness to
submit to Gods will, and said that all
was well with him, but in his great,
SURPRISING love for his wife and little
daughter asked the doctor to keep him
with them as long as posi- BILE
He was a faithful member anG
steward of the Methodist church, aud
sadly will this Christian young man
be missed. He was also a worthy
member Of the Knights Of Pythias
Lodge of Culleoka. His brother
Knights showed their appreciation of
his worthiness in his illness. Twas
they that bore the casket and tenderly
laid it with its precious burden in
the grave They, LED by Rev. A. p.
Walker, conducted the funeral services
at the grave, and the sprigs of ever.
green'gently dropped into the grave
upon the casket but typiied their last
ing love and memory of their departed
friend and brother. His lady friends
covered his grave with lovely tiorals,
in expression of theii grief over the
ending of the bright young life.
A death, broader in its sad effect,
we have not known in our community
but in his own pretty home and low
ing little family the loss is fearful
His happiest hours were spent in
identifying this home, and caring fol-
its inmates. His love for his wife
and little daughter surpassed all ordi-
nary love, and life to them without
the presence of this loving husband
and father seems almost impossible
now, but surely his spirit watches over
them and God viii help them in
their despair.
Friend after friend departs:
Who has not lost friendl
There is no union here of heart,
That finds not here an end;
We're this frail world our final rest,
Living or dying none were blest.
Beyond the fight of time,
Beyond this vale of death,
There surely is some blessed cline,
Where life is not breath;
Nor ifes affections transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upward and expire
There is world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone:
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that happier sphere.
Thus star by star declines,
Till all are passed away,
AS morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day.
Nor sink those stars in empty night,
But hide themselves in heaven g owl
light. =
