ORTIZ AIRY.

Our beloved friend and brother,
WILLIAM S. APPLEwHITE, was called to
his eternal resting place January %,
1901. Brother Applewhite was born
March s, 1855, thus making him 40
years, 10 months and 10 days old. He
joined Philadelphia Baptist church at
the age of Is, and ever lived a Chris
tian life. He was married July %, 1880,
to Miss Nora Warren and to them were
given seven children. Five of them
are now living. He was a devoted
husband, loving, Christian father
and brother. Like Timothy, from a
child he was taught the Scriptures.
He studied and loved his Bible.
His aim and supreme wish was to live
a Christian life and ear his children
to be Christian men and women. He
felt it his duty and held family pray
ers as long as he was up, and then in
his bed until he grew too feeble and
weak, and as his feet drew near the
Heavenly shores said to his Borrowing
wife, to read and pray with the chill
dren as he had done.
Brother Applewhite passed away
telling his Borrowing wife and relatives
and friends to weep not for him but to
meet him in Heaven, his home. On
Saturday his remains were laid to rest
in the Philadelphia grave yard. A host
of relatives and friends were present
to witness the last sad rites. May his
life be treasured in our memories and
his example followed; then we will
meet him in that Blessed Home.
"Why do we mourn departing friends
Or shake at Deaths alarms?
IT'S but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to His arms.
"Why should we tremble to convey
Their bodies to the tomb"
There the dear flesh of Jesus lay
And scattered all the gloom
Done by order of conference of Phil
adelphia Baptist church, Feb. 10, 1901.
