ATOOCHING TRIBUTE
irs. Inez Moore Suggests a Monument
to Sexton P. D. Roser.
FITTIIG RECOGNITION OF HIS SERVICE
He Gave to the City a Most Beautiful and
Well Kept Cemetery—Mrs. Ines
Moore’s Card.
Below appears.a very touching trib
ute to the late city Sexton P. D.
Roser. It is written by a most esti
mable lady, Mrs. Ines Moore.
Her suggestion that a monument be
built in honor of the six years of faith
ful and tireless work he did towards
beautifying Myrtle Hill, where he
now sleeps serenely,is a most excellent
one.
The people of Rome wonld do a
fitting thing to thus mark the grave
of the dead sexton. The Tribune be
lieves that the funds for such a pur
pose will be freely and gladly contrib
uted. Mrs. Moore’s article is as fol
lows:
Our faithful sexton is dead and I
am wondering, not who will take his
place, bnt who can fill it as he did.
Oh 11 fear we will never find a man
who will be the kind, sympathetic,
helpful friend that he was to all of us
who met him so often upon beautiful
Myrtle Hill, where sleep in silence onr
beloved dead.
His was a great warm heart that
throbbed in tenderest sympathy with
all who wept. His kindly words,
spoken in his own peculiar way, al
ways touched our grief hardened
hearts like soft, refreshing dews upon
the drooping plants.
More than two years ago, when the
crowning sorrow of a woman’s life
fell upon me he was away, and before
his return I left Rome to spend the
winter in a distant city when again
God’s hand was laid upon me, and I
was called very near the border land
of “the valley of the shadow of death.”
Upon my return Mr. Rosar’s greeting
was as tender and touching as was
ever given. “I have not seen you,”
said he, “since this grave brought
you such great sorrow, and I want
yon to know I grieve with you.
“I’m so glad to shake hands with
you once more in life; so glad I did
not have to help lay your dead body
down here beside your husband. God
help you, God bless you madam and
may you live many years.”
Little did I think then that I wonld
so soon lay sweet.flowers on his bier.
The old man would, sometimes speak
of his own troubles, for he, too, had
known grief. He told me of the dear
wife who walked so many years by
his side; of his children, his physical
infirmities, his friends, his enemies.
Os the latter he always spoke kindly.
What a beautiful tribute to his ipem
ory it would be if by our united con
tributions, we could erect a monu
ment over the grave of this gentle
hearted man. Not anything costly,
bnt just ,a pretty, .simple shaft, or
some other appropriate design, to tell
his children and the passing throng
that we appreciated our faithful sex
ton in life, and in death hold sacred
his memory. Inez E. Moore.

THE BOMB TRIBUNE* THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2. 1887
ROME PROGRESSES
Standard Oil Company Increases Storage
Capaci’y.
36,000 GALLONS OF KEROSBIE IN BULK
Rome la An Important Distributing Point
Point For Thia Section—Masonic
Temple Repairs.
The Standard Oil company will make
Rome a big distributing point for all
this section of the state.
They have recently taken away one
6,000 gallon storage tank and replaced it
with an 18,000 gallon tank.
They now have in Rome two 18,000
gallon tanka, which gives them a bulk
storage capacity of 36,000 gallons. Be
sides this they haVe a large brick store
room where all grades of lubricatijg
oils,, candles, etc., are kept.
This statipn is a very important one,
and over 100,000 gallons of kerosene are
u-ed and shipped out of Rome every
year. The amount will probably be very
greatly increased next year, as the com
pany is preparing to supply all neighbor*
ing towns from here.
Mr. John Canfield is the local manager,
and has been with the company seven
years. He combines a thorough knowl
edge of the business, with great personal
popularity, and is in every sense of the
word a valuable man.
The company have recently established
a station at Dalton, with a bulk storage
capacity of 24,000 gallons.
Masonic Temple Improvements,
The roof and approaches of the Ma
sonic temple are being repaired by a
force of workmen. This splendid edifice
was badly damaged sometime since by
fire. The lodge room on the third floor
was seriously damaged by fire and water,
and the beautifully frescoed walls and
ceiling almost ruined.
The work of repairing the lodge room
has hot yet commenced, but it is probable
that a handsome steel ceiling will be put
;n, and a dome in the center. The assess
ed damage in all amounted to about
$2,000, which has been paid in by the
insurance companies.
Van Dyke Warehouse.
A force of workmen are busy rebuild
ing the Van Dyke warehouse, which has
twice been destroyed by fire. The brick
walls were not seriously harmed and with
a little repairing answered the purpose
just as well as new ones.
The warehouse is quite a large one and
it will be some time before it is ready for
use.
A QUEER SPECIMEN.
Old Chap Under Arrest at Dallas For
Stealing. Says He is From Rome.
Sheriff B. F. Wheeler, of Dallas,
Paulding county, was in the oity a day
or so ago, and told of a rather peculiar
case down at his town.
Kinney Britt, a white man about 50
years old was arrested thAe for stealing
corn. Britt would drive along the high
way and stop at a oom field or a farmer’s
crib and quietly take what he wanted.
The old fellow did it as though he had a
perfect right to all the corn he wanted.
It is believed that he is deranged.
Britt said he lived in Rome and had
two daughters working in the Lindale
Mill. Diligent enquiry, however, failed
to find his daughters, or any one who
knew the old fellow.
