OBITUARY


Paul A. Corbett was born March rs
1891. Met death by drowning in tanners
lake on Sunday, August 20, 1911
Paul was the only son of Mr. and Mrs
David G. Corbett residing on Comanche
creek. Paul and three OF his compan-
ions had gone swimming and Paul step
ping off the edge of the bank into very
deep water sank, his companions, horri-
fed at the disaster ran for help which
came too late.
Paul leaves father, mother and three
sisters to mourn his loss
1t is very fearful, the slow, steady, re-
sistless, remorseless approach OF the
shadow of death across your Threshold;
the desperate sarrow that prompts to
drive back the destroyer; the cries to
God which bring no answer; the helpless
ness Of a strong and manly victim in
the grasp of the monster. There lies
the cold stiff form; 1t is unconscious now
the lights have gone out; silence reigns,
the heart beats no more; the lips are
cold and give back no sign of love. There
Is no response to the tears that fall on
the passionless face or the bitter sigh
and means of distress that vainly pour
from breaking hearts. Once it was an
unbroken circle of children that gather
ed with their parents about the hearth
stone and formed little kingdom with
in themselves, 1t is broken, and manly
form is carried out to return never
more-never more; but the memory Of
years agone will bring shadows again
and the fond echoin the hearts of the
living of voices that are hushed and OF
footballs that will return no more, will
be heard above the merriest tunes and
mingle with the gladdest song.
Inc thin veil of flesh is all that divides
them. They have passed "within the
val" we remain without; but all in the
same spiritual temple. We are among
the shadows-they have passed into
eternal sunlight. Fleshly tics may per-
ish; merely earthly relationship may
dissolve; they are needed only here.
But the spiritual that bind the mem
5ers Of family in holy fellowship are
&npepshrhle
Oh! ye who have homes where children
gather, and merry voices ring, make
them homes of purity, love and prayer,
for the shadows will gather; death will
rob you of yours, and leave your heart
and home desolate, and then the mem.
ories OF the years that have fed will
come floating by, and with them the
testimonials OF the irrevocable past;
your comfort and your strength will be
in the glad evidence they furnish OF your
faithfulness to those that are gone.
There is no death! What seems 20
is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.
