With sorrow mingled with regret |
read in last week S CHRoNIcLL of the
death of James f. Sipple, of Fre1erica. !
Jimmy Sipple was a friend of my /
youth and for a few years an, almost,
constant companion, of evenings. AL
though several years nv senior he took
a great religious interest in me, for he
was intensely religious. and remained in
that state of mind as, / believe, until
death. of his early life and his roman
tic marriage have a vivid recollection,
but. after that l left Frederica and he
dropped out of my life, until few years
ago when our reacquaintance was re-
newed. As I have pondered over his
death, and become reminiscent nv heart
has responded to that benediction over
the departed Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord, for they rest from
their labors, and their works do follow
them" Deceased has gained that for
which he has been striving for nearly
three quarters of century.
There is no death although we grieve
When beautiful familiar forms
That we have learned 20 love, are torn
From our embracing arms
Although with bowed and breaking heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dust TO rest
And say that they are dead.
They are not dead they have but passed
Beyond the msts that blind us here
Into the new and larger life
OF that serene sphere
Death has claimed another resident of
Milton, and on Wednesday Mrs. Amanda
P. Jackson, wife of James B. Jackson,
Of Milton. died at her home here. Fun
aral services will be held at the late res
ience on Sunday afternoon at 2 O'Clock
