FIRST BORN DEAD.

The charmed circle broken; a dear face
Missed day by day from its accustomed place,
But cleanSed and saved and perfected by grace,
One more in Heaven!
One more in heaven. On yon-
der shore IRA is waiting for par
ents and sisters and sweet is the
thought that now tie binds the
dear ones heavenward-th though the
separation is hard to bear-your
life is sweeter, softened by sorrows
tear, death has lost it's sting. IRA
has lived good life, dutiful son,
and excellent citizen, at all times
he had fulfilled his duties on earth
as he thought would be acceptable
in Gods sight and has now con-
quered death and is in that home
whose blessings we can only hint
at. Dear ones wish him not back,
but live so near to God that, when
your summons comes you will all
reunited be in that beautiful home
beyond.
In Camden, Benton County,
Tenn, IRA Williams was born
on February n, 1856. Being the
first-born of his parents, he was
naturally the idol of their hearts.
AS he grew day by day their very
lives dubbed over with hope for
the child's future-and though 9TH
er children came into this home,
IRA was the only son. He had al
ways most supreme love for his
mother, which years only strength
ened, which was proven when only
nineteen years of age he joined the
w. O. w. lodge and insured his
life for his mother, and, when that
terrible disease, consumption stole
into his system, and gnawed at his
very bones night and day for weeks
and months, his mother became his
almost constant attendant, and he
seemed unwilling to be helped by
any other hand. When he became
too weak to talk he could only look
his gratitude. All that loving
hands could do was done, but the
Master called him home on March
10, 1910.
When but thirteen years of age
he protested religion and as bare
foot boy in knee pants he was bap-
tized by Rev. Oscar Gardner in the
Presbyterian faith; thus when
mere boy he needed the Masters
voice.
On this beautiful Sabbath MORN
ing, March 20, 1910, all that was
mortal of IRA was laid to rest i'm
the Gardner cemetery to await the
resurrection morn. IRA had many
friends, universally loved by all
who knew him. His popularity
was shown by the largest funeral
