and was baptized into the fellowship of
South Union church during the pastor
age of Rev. Mr.. Grissam, after which he
moved his membership to Beaverdam
church, where on Thursday afternoon a
large body of his brother Woodmen of
the World, by all of whom he was re-
garded with profoundest friendship,
gathered at his home to pay him their
last sad tribute of respect. Rev. S. III.
Mcdaniel preached his funeral, his text
being the 1lth chapter of John. The
Woodmen then took charge of the body
AMI lowered it to rest with the usual
honors. He died the death that none
but the righteous die. He fell asleep i'm
the arms of Jesus. For the past months
he has suffered greatly. This he bore
with patience, such as Gods people pos
sess. He was loyal and faithful hus.
band, fond and loving father. His
vacancy is one that can never be filed.
He leaves wife and three children,
Cars, Victor and Douglas. Their loved
one has gone to rest, his last battle is
fought, his victory is won. He has gone
just over there to join the angels i'm
Christs eternal home. Weep not, kind
friends, your loss is his gain.
To die, is landing on some silent shore,
Where billows never beat nor tempests
roar. j. q. G.
