In MemorIam.

When we consider the shortness OF human
life here, II causes us to halt and think on
the realities OF the Eternal World and
whether we are ready TO be ushered out
into the Great Beyond. for Death is no
respector OF persons the young. the old
the rich. the poor, the high, the low. must
all pass through the Channel OF Death.
On last Friday morning the pale horse and
his rider halted at the home Of lanes +.
Menefee's and executed the writ OF death
upon him. taking him from the embrace OF
his wife and children. lie leaves a wife
and eleven children TO mourn, but their
loss Is his eternal gain.
About 30 years ago he united with the
Methodist church, OF which he was a mem.
Der at his death. He was good, honest
upright man and a good neighbor He
possessed that noble trait OF character,
keeping the bright side Of life out and
meeting his kind with bright face
lie enlisted as a soldier In the late Civil
War. under Capt. J. l.. Simpson Co. B,
18th w. Va. Cavalry, served his country
faithfully and was honorsbly discharged
by the legal authority. He was confined
to his home and bed for several months
before his death. lie retained his mind
to the last moment made arrangements
for his funeral services and burial lie
requested that the FIVE chapters OF the
Gospel OF ST Matthew be read an that
his funeral be preached from the IS and A
verses OF the same chapter. the minister TO
be standing in the front door. The writer
conducted the funeral. after which he
was taken to the Terra Alta cemetery and
laid away 10 await the resurrection Of the
just. May the life OF the Father be imi-
tated by his children and nelghbors TO the
end that they will meet In a country where
they will part no more.
