Cumming, Ga., Feb. 22, 1918.
Mr. R. W. Benaon Dead.
On the 22nd of Jan. 1918 the
death angel, visited the home ot
Mr. and Mrs. Will Bell and bore
away the spirit of the dear old
daddy Benson who had been
making his home there most oi
the time for the past few years,
as his eye sight failed him he
was compelled to leave his own
little home one mile from Cum
ming where he had resided 58
years.
He had entered his 87th year
and is survived by a precious
wife, who is in her 82nd year.
Oh, what a pityful separation,
they were devotedly attached
to each other. It was lasinu
tingiy interesting to be with
and hear them talk in their
aged days of olden times and
ithe various changes.
They have spent over Go
years of married life together,
have been blessed with 10 child
ren all of whom were spared to
thm until they were grown and
(named, the family chain not
being broken until 10 years ago
a daughter, Mrs. J. T. Merritt
was called away.
Besides his dear companion
he is is survived by 9 children,
50 grand-children, 44 great
grand-children and a number
of other relatives and friends
who will feel a loss over his de
parture for he was ever ready
to lend aid to any one he could
It is so sad to think we have no
papa now, for* he was marvel
ously devoted to his family, al
ways doing his very best to ob
anything they desired. Peron
ally peaking, from a child, 1
could ask my good papa foi
anything and I was sure to get
it. He took such a pleasure in
working for and spending at.
he possessed for the satisfaction
of his family, and in his declin
ing years he reaped what ht
had sown, for there was noth
ing that wasn’t gladly done toi
his comfort and enjoyment am.
while he was almost blind foi
the last few years, he retained
his life-long cheerful disposition
as he was constantly whistling
and singing and was ever ready
for a joking expression from
any one, yet in reality truth
ness was a unique feature ol his
life. He lived a quiet unfailing
Christian life that pleasingly
tells us he is in heaven. He dear
ly loved to read and study Godi
word when he could see, latei
ha so much enjoyed being read
to always making the assertion
when asked, where he’d like to
hear rjkid “that it was all good’
Bro. Thompson in conducting
the funeral service so beauti
fully illustrated papa’s life in
saying, "He never tried t*o be
something he wasn’t”.
Oh that his three soils will
live the true life their lather
lived, and that his daughters
will cherish the loving advise
he gave them, and the sweet
old companion be comforted in
knowing their living together
here was an ideal union, yet
soon they will be re-united
where it is in-expressable joy
to not be seperated again. He
so much loved to hear the song
“There'll be joy in heaven wuen
we all get home",
May the all-wise God aid each
of us to strive more earnestly tc
gain the joys of Heaven and all
meet with angel papa who a
waits our coming.

In Loving Memory.
Of Bryan Williams, who de
parted this life Nov. sth 1017.
His remains were laid to rest at
Corinth cemetery, Rev. Tv. itty
conductfhg tire funeral services.
Bryan was a good boy and was
loved by all who knew him. he
had a f mile fc r al 1 whom he met
he w as always ready to help in
the Sunday school. He said he
had to die and was prepred to
die. 1 hope he is at rest in the
arms of his clear Savior. lie
leaves a mother one sister one
brother and a host of other rel
ativs and friends to mourn his
departure.
Bryan thou have left us and
thy loss we deeply feel, hut tis
God w ho has bereft us, he can
all our sorrows heal. Bryan
was sick for several months
hut bore his suffering with pa
!fencs.
Weep not dear companion
for Bryan is not dead but only
sleeping, call not back the dear
departed anchored safe where
storms are oe’r on the border
land we left him soon to meet
and part no more.
Bryan is gone but not forgot
ten. We cannot see and under
stand why the Lord in his good
ness called him aw'ay from us,
but the Lord said Bryan you
have suffered enough come up
higher and I will give you rest.
pn bh has paid the debt that
we all will have to pay soonei
>r later whether we are pre
pared or unprepad. Let us all
live so when the Lord calls foi
us we can meet our loved one:
gone on before where we will
not part no more.
Fare thee well but not forev
er there will be a glorious dawn
when w r e meet you in heaven in
he resurection morn. Tis hard
to break the tender cord w'here
love has bound the heart, tis
hard to speak the word we must
forever part:
‘Peaceful be the silent slum
ber, peaceful in the grave so
low, thou no more will join our
number, thou no-more our song
ihall know: Vet again we hope
o meet thee when the day oi
life is fled, there in heaven with
joy to greet thee where no fare
vvell tears are shed. Now thou
irt gone beyond the reach of
voe, where sorrow tears shai.
■ver cease to flow.
We trust our loss will be his
gain and that with Christ he it
gone to reign. No fears, no woe
shall dim that hour that mani
fest the Saviors power.
Written by his friend.
