Our beloved Pastor, Rev Jacob
NJ Eavey of the M E Church, South
died at the parsonage at this place
Aug 10Th at IL m.
He was 40 years old, native of
Rockingham county. and a faithful
preacher in the Baltimore Confer
ence for twelve years or more. He
leaves host of friends, sorrow

to mourn their loss. His mother,
brother and four sisters, survive
him. Miss Fannie was the only
one of his family present when the
Angel of Death came to bear his
spirit Home.
He had been sick with fever for
a month and was doing very well
up to last Saturday week when he
took very much worse. Several
physicians were hastily summoned
in consultation and every effort

be buried here and said he had
made his peace with God years ago
and quoted in his dying moments
part Of the % Psalm-"The Lord
is my shepherd" etc.
He was a kind and loving hus-

honest and homely beauty was tri-

full city of David.
His sublime faith and devotion
to God, through all his Affections,
caused the troublesome ills of this
world to cease, as the heavenly Wis
ions of the New Jerusalem came
most beautifully in view.

neither rich nor poor, rank nor sta

At this fatal threshold the child
ceases to cry and the adult is
mournfully silent. while humanity
ceases from her unrequitted toll in
the realms of death. Still, she

were dead yet shall he live; And

of Him who said: Suffer the little
children to come INTO me and for
