OBITUARY.


On Friday morning, January 13.
1905, just as the sun rose in it's ra-
diant glory to brighten the world.
sad gloom was cast over the COM
munity and the news spread that
Charlie Barber had committed sui.
oide by shooting himself through
the head with a revolver. Charlie
was a clever and industrious young
man, 26 years of age, and had a
smile and kind word for everybody
He lived with his parents on Kama
wha Nine Mile, and lived only a
few hours after the shot was fred.
His sister Fannie was in the room
when the fatal blow was fired. He
joined the church last winter at re-
vival at Pine Grove and was always
found at his post of duty, especial
ly in singing. but We hope earth's
loss is heavens gain; and while he
is missed ia the choir at Pine
Grove he will be found in the choir
above where all is peace and love.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Brother in thy grave so low, g
Thou no more win join our number,
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed
he was laid to rest in the Pine
Grove cemetery Sunday, 18th. fu-
neral services conducted by ReY.
w. A Byus.
Our heart goes ont in sympathy
with the bereaved 1family. May
God bless and comfort them in
this their hour of bereavement.
