Robert Lewis.

Robert Lewis was born in Marion
county, Tennessee, February 9th,
1927, and died at his home, near
Sabula, Missouri, March 10, 1912,
aged So years, one month and four
days old. Was married to Mary
Griffith, July 30th, 1851; moved to
Carroll county, Arkansas, in the
fall of the same year, and located
in what is now Iron county-then
Madison county-in 1856. Sixteen
children were born of this union,
eleven of whom survive him. He
has go grandchildren and 80 great
grandchildren. If all the children
and grandchildren were living
they would number 1872. His last
years were spent in much suffer-
ing. We are taught that through
suffering we are made perfect. His
words to his grand son are conso-
lation. He was asked of the fu-
ture and said, "my work here is
finished, Tom. I am waiting on
the Lord, letting him use me. am
ready to 60" He has gone, yes,
gone, where suffering such as ours,
can never be. Cheer up, dear
mother and children. All was done
that could be done for him. Let us
be submissive to the will of Him,
who doeth all things we'll. By and
by we will go, too. Hope and
pray until that day, when we will
meet to part, die or sorrow, never
more! A Son.
