Samuel B. Whitehead.

Uu1slUCl d. UlhlGuCUls
He has gone from his dear ones, his
children, his wife,
Whom he willingly toiled for and
loved as his life
Oh God! how mysterious and how
strange are Thy ways,
To take from US this loved one in the
best of his days.
Mr.. Samuel B. Whitehead, born
February il, 1874, well known
citizen, died at his home a few miles
from town Thursday morning, July
22nd, at the age Of II years, six
months and eight days. He had
typhoid fever, and all that loving
hands, two trained nurses and a
skilled physician could do was done,
but to no avail. God in His wisdom
saw fit to call him from this world
of troubles.
He was married February Il,
1902, to Miss Hettie Strickland,
daughter CT the late S. II. Strick-
land, Of Scotland Neck. and unto
this union were born three children.
all being boys, the oldest three years
Of age and the youngest about two
months old. He was loving and
devoted husband and father, a good
farmer, kind neighbor was ever
ready to help those in need or dis
tress, and always carried a sunny
smile and cheerful word for all.
Mr.. Whitehead was not the man
to bemoan his losses, but with q
superb courage and a cheerful dis
position worked with will
| He united with the Methodist
Protestant church at Roseneath in
1902, and became a consecratee
Christian worker. He was even
faithful to his church duties anc
lived in the fear Of God. He as
sumed many obligations and dis
charged them with the utmost faith
fulness according to the capacity
that he had, though he never claimed
that his was greater than any or
binary Christian. He simply die
what he conceived to be right anC
that would please his Lord and Mas
ter. For six years he served az
trustee in his church. His was !:
life we'll lived, and precious will b
the heritage to those left behind.
He leaves a wife. three little sons
a mother, father, two sisters an(
four brothers to mourn their loss
and a host Of sorrowing relative!
and friends. Dear loved ones
though the sunshine and joy Of hi:
presence can no more cast its ray;
upon us here. let US live in the an
ticipation Of the happy time wher
we shall again be reunited at the

be no more death, neither sorrow
nor crying, neither shall there b,
