held this position for about four
months and gave it up to join the
army.
He enlisted in Co. g. 18th Inf. in
October, 1911, and was stationed at
Fort Russell, Wyoming, until the
trouble began with Mexico, when his
Company was sent to Texas City.
There he developed pulmonary tuber-
culosis, and vas sent to the hospital
at Fort Barnard, New Mexico.
He received his discharge in Feb
ruary, 1914, on account of tuberculo-
sis, but remained at the hospital until
in July, when he came home. He
stayed here until in October when he
went back to the hospital, but as he
seemed to get worse instead of better,
he came back to us in January and
stayed here until his death.
He seemed to be improving some,
until the 10th of May when he had a
hemorrage, after which he was con-
fined to his bed. He seemed to have
hopes of getting we'll, until on Mon
day night before his death. He took
bad that night and gave up all hopes
of getting we'll. He said he would
have to go, and he hoped it would be
soon. He told us he was ready and
willing to go and to not grieve for
him but rather rejoice. He said he
would like to live and preach Gods
word and stay with us all, but he
could not. He seemed so happy all
the time and so anxious to go, that
when we did have to give him up, we
knew he was at rest and his suffering
was over, and that is such a comfort
to us here OH earth. He suffered a
great deal but was patient through it
all, and the end came without a
struggle. Just a short time before he
died he said, "sister, | am going soon,
and l want to tell you what a beauti.
full picture I can see i a see such a
beautiful place, and my mother and
brother coming to meet me-" He was
conscious until the very last.
He leaves an aged father, one sis
ster and two half brothers to mourn
his loss.
He was laid to rest in the Des Arc
cemetery, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. VIM. Sutton. His
father, sister and one brother we're
present, the other brother residing in
Wyoming.
How hard it was to give him up, ,
Only God and our hearts can tell,
But well we know that God is Just
And doeth all things well!
There's one more golden link 10 bind
Our hearts to heaven above,
Where no more pain and death shall come
But all is peace and love.
