an active worker in the Presbyterian

Daily served with distinction in the Con-
federate army and held the rank Of

GILBERT JENNINGS CUSTER
Gilbert Jennings, child of John NJ.
and Mary Custer, Of near Grantsville,
was born Feb. /, 1900, died Jan. II,
1911, aged 10 years, II months, days.
His was the most repugnant death
conceivable death by fire. His life
was as bright as his death was gloomy
The body was quietly laid away in
the Mennonite cemetery Friday at 10
a. m. The ancient proverb is true. IN
this case at least, that Blessed is the
dead that the rain falls upon.
During four months constant associa-
ton in the schoolroom we do not remem-
Der one disobedient act or one unkind
word. Such is the result Of Christian
mothers training,
Gilbert is gone but not forgotten; not
dead but gone before; cut down by the
grim Reaper only to be transplanted in
a brighter and better cline. The world
will not forget HIM and his memory will
always remain a bright and pleasant
spot in the mind of HIS TEACHER.
