UNCLE BILLY GRIGGS DEAD.
An Old and Highly Respected Citizen
of Bates County Died in
California.
SANTA BARBARA, CALI
SEPT. 23, 1901. I

SEPT. 10, 1JOl.
ED. TIMEs:-It is with sadness that
| make known through your columns
to his many friends the death OF W.
N. Gri"gs. His sickness was caused
by a carhuncle which resulted in a
hard ard painful struggle of nearly
seven weeks when death came to his
relief on Monday Sept, 16. 1t would
be prepOsterous for one of short ac-
quaintace to endeavOr to write OF
one so we'll known as was Uncle
Billy as he was familiarlv called by
his many friends in Bates county.
| can speak of him for the short
time he has been in California. He
had a way yOfmaking friends wherever
he was and retained all those agree
able traits that endeared him to
those who knew him in by-gone days.
During his last illness he had every
attention that loving hearts and
hands could minister Although at
times his life trembled in the balance,
it was thought from the first that he
could not recover. Among other
relatives, his wife and four daughters
were present, and never before was
he known to be more patient and
submissive under suffering. His long
period of sickness gave him ample
time to consider the things of the
future, which he did, and upon sew
eral different occasions he gave evi-
dence that it was well with his soul
At times he seemed to have long
ing for that land where the inhabit-
ants never -ay Il am sick" His
expression was, "Oh, | want to go
home, | want to go home and be
with Jesus" His desire. we believe,
was granted, and a long and useful
life has ended here leaving his COM
paniop of over fifty years to tread
the way alone but a little while when
the Joy of an unbroken reunion will
outweigh all OF the sorrows of earth.
In that land where It's morning forever.
There no clouds ever darken the sky,
Those we meet in that land naught can sever
There true friendship and love never die.
