TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
OF n. NJ. ROCKET
A goodly man we've buried,
And more he was to mel

AHo more ue Was TO me.
Although 1t Is ordained for man
once to die" we seldom can recon-
Gle ourselves to DEATH cold reality.
None OF us who knew r. NJ. Rocket
could therefore hear, without mex
presslble anguish, the message that
ne had been snatched sfrom our
midst, and victory over death had
become reality to him.
He was born in this county Dec.
{, 1863, and reared near the neigh
boring village that bears his anees-
trail name, coming to Waxahacliie in
the year 1889. The christian, pioneer
parents and the strenuous period of
his young boyhood were conducive to
he development of the strong, de-
pendable character which we have
all known and admired. He was
married to Miss Elizabeth Hazard
Dec. Is, 1879, and this union was
ratified in heaven. Christ aad love
have reigned supreme in the home
Two lovely flowers which blossomed
into noble womanhood, completed
its happiness, and as the mother and
father have journeyed along hand
in hand. the daughters have ever
frightened the pathway with loving
care and solicitude.
And SO God mingles the sunshine
and the clouds in our lives, and the
damp of the tomb streams across
our joys and we shudder.
The parting message to the dead
has been spoken and we stand upon
the edge of the grave and try to
catch a glimpse of the mystery on the
other side. But narrow as the gulf
that separates the known from the
unknown, the living from the dead,
we cannot span it, and we stand to-
day crushed by the Providence that
has bereaved; yet, never doubling
its wisdom, we permit sweet memoir
les to thrill the soul until our dead
seem like stars that have faded from
our lives never to be replaced.
The funeral services were held at
the residence Many were the man
of love in tender services,
loving words and beautiful floral de
signs. These spoke OF love and SYM
pathy to the bereaved and love and
esteem for the deceased.
The services were conducted by
Revs. Mcpherson and c. A. Chas
teen, and the music was sweetly rem
Tered by double quartette.
Bro. Mcpherson touched tenderly
and comfortingly upon the Christian
life of his brother, and the coming of
the New Jerusalem. when God will
wipe every tear from our eyes.
Deep-rooted in our friends being,
lived the love for his Savior. from
whom he learned to bear iife's
crosses, suffer in sympathy and
speak in comfort and cheer. W
dare not regret his leaving US for
the better home, tho the home is
desolate. We sorrow because he
could not be with US longer. but re-
joiee that he might some little sooner
be with Him he loved and humbly
served.
Grieve we must, for grief goes up
from the crushed heart as natur-
ally as perfume from the flower. We
look at each other with fearful.
startled eyes and ask, What OF the
night" And asst in answer to our
plant. from some sentinel tower
across the universe, comes the cry.
God reigns and all is WE'LL"
A FRIEND.
