In Memorian,---.


On Sunday. Dec. 9Th, 1918, as we were
reading the Casualty List of North Caro-
lima boys, who have given their lives
that freedom might be ours, we espied
the name of Luther Poplih, resident of
Richmond county. He was called to
service the twenty-iifth of May, and was
stationed at Camp Jackson, and was
later transferred to Camp Sewer. He
was sent to France August LIST, and was
killed November 9th. He did his part
valiantly and has now gone to join the
many millions who have gone to the
yonder shore during this great struggle.
Yes, Luther has made the supreme sacri-
fee, he has given his all, his life for his
country. He was only twenty-eight
Years of age. Oh! how many men just in
the prime of life has this cruel war call
ed from theie homes and loved ones by
place from whence they can never re-
turn. This past Christmas there were
many hundred gray-haired mothers and
fathers, brothers, sisters and little chill
dren, who dreamed of days gone by be-
fore the home circle was broken. This
past Xmas has meant more to us than
vver before for with the joys there was
touch of tragedy, There was mis-
sing seat at the family table, for John
the big brother marched off the drum
beat, and amid these scenes of universal
suffering of world wide sacrifice. A
world heart of gratitude, of worship
must pour out at the feet of him who
conserated the day with sacred memoir
les, who, too achieved the salvation of
the human race by making the supreme
sacrifice. 81
Luthers only relative living is sister
Mrs. Maggie Haywood, Mt Gilead. His
father and mother died when he was an
infant leaving he and Maggie to the
tender care of their aged grandmother,
sevenryears afterward she dice, and left
Maggie in the care of one family and
Luther of another until Jan. 18th, 1905,
when Maggie married Chesley Haywood.
Luther began working at the sawmill
where Mr.. Haywood worked, which was
then in the eastern part of the state.
But was moved 10 Arson county in 1918.
He was still at this mill when he was
called to service. To his devoted we
extend our deepest sympathy, and we
sincerely hope that her loss is his eternal
gain.

Within the last few years death has
entered our home and robbed us of our
dearest loved ones and left us saddened
and bereaved, but thanks be to God who

Christ Cur Lord" we shall be separated
from them only little while, then we
shall all go home to spend eternity in an
unbroken band with God. Our dear papa
died May 9th, 1912, and left us heart
broken and sad. Then on June 21st, 1914,
God called our sweet mama to be with
him in heaven. Their places are vacant
in our home and can never be filled
again and oh! how sad and lonely it is
without them. The saddest lot that can
befail any child on earth is to lose father
and mother. Home is not home since
they have gone away. On the morning
of December goth, 1918, while we were
still filled with grief and loneliness the

necessary to ask if she were christian,

Her character reached perhaps its
highest development in her home life,
the holy precincts of which only, may we
enter. Always dutiful, devoted daugh.

with sympathy and understanding, to
whom their pleasures were genuine joys,

Can such as she die? Not while there
are hearts to love, and minds to remem-
Der. We feel that she has "only stepped
out moment" up into bigger, bright
er more wonderfully beautiful room,
leaving us downstairs for time.

that sometime, if we be found worthy,
we shall see her again that we shall be

The news of the death of Mrs. Martha
Johnson Gasque, wife of Boyd R. Gasque,
which occurred at Rockingham, N. c.,
Tuesday. Dec II, 1918, came as great
shock to her Marion friends, among
whom she lived for several years after
her marriage in the fall of 1902.
1t is hard to realize that she has gone
from US forever, for it seems just yester-
day that as a young and beautiful
bride she came into our midst, and while
at that time almost stranger, she soon
hosts of friends by her personal magne-
tism, which was irresistible to those who
were so fortunate to meet her
She was wonderfully gifted woman
in many respects, brilliant in converse
ton, gracious In manner, and such a
vivid personality, that you were drawn
and bound to her in the strongest ties of
love and affection, and without her other
distinct gifts of character, you realized
from these that her greatness lay in hav-
ing the brain of statesman united with
the tender heart of child, for her eyes
could flash and sparkle in conversation,
soften to winning tenderness to a child,
or brim over with tears at some tale of
suffering and affection.
1t seems so strange that God in His
wisdom should have seen fit to pluck
this beautiful and choice flower from His
earthly garden in the MONDAY of her
splendor, and at time when the rich
perfume of perfect life would have
meant so much to her family and friends,
yet we bow in submission to His will
knowing that He doeth all things well, Z
and take consolation in the memory Of
as she lived she died, for as this human
flower was fading from the fever heat Of
disease she gently folded her arms and
whispered THY will Oh Lord, not mine
be done then death came with healing
touch and tender claspings, and shs
gently and quietly fell into that sleer
whose awakening was to be with hel
father who had gone before.
We shall ever love her for the roses OF
her tongue; for the smiles on her face
that would light up dreariness; for ;
voice full Of music of the birds; for /;
handshake that would inspire you and ,
| cheerfulness that made Us forget oul
troubles as the Ravens dismal croak /.
forgotten when the wood thrush sings.
