IN MEMORY.
Death in its sadest state has vis
ited our ranks and removed from
us our true, faithful and much
loved neighbor and brother, Mr. J.
C. Pentecost, who was l>orn January
9, 1875, and died September 24,
1908. In losing him we very keen
ly feel our loss. It is hard to com
prehend the loss of such a noble
man. He was thirty-three years of
age, in the prime of young man
hood, and useful to business life as
well as to the community in which
he lived. He was a good man,
took a groat, interest in Sunday
school and anything that would bet
ter the people who lived in touch
with him. lie stirremh red his
life to hi? master at Pentecost
church in September, 1905, was
baptized in October of the same
year and became a faithful member
until his death. He was married
in 1907 to Miss Blanch Haslett, of
Lawrencevilie. Their voyage was
short, lasting but one year, but it
must have been nothing but joy,
peace and happiness. By their
happy and genial dispositions they
cast a ray of sunshine into the lives
of all those with whom they came ,
in contact. This pleasant union
came to an unexpected end, which
was heart rending to behold and
hard lx*ar by the devoted young
wife.
I
Mr. Pentecost, was firm to liis
convictions, believing Clod to be the
nnthor and finisher of salvation.
file was a faithful, hard worker and
was ever ready to sacrifice time
and money for the advancement of
the cause of Christ. He was a
faithful and devoted husband, a
dutiful son and a kind and consid
siderate brother. Besides liis dear
wife, he leaves his father, six broth
ers, one sister and a host of rela
tives and friends to mourn liis un
timely death. But liis race is run,
his tight is finished and we humbly
submit to the will of the all wise
Father, having the consoling
thought that Columbus is at rest in
the home of the redeemed. To the
bereaved ones we would say:
While the dark shadows of gloom
and sorrow fall heavily upon you
and you see no way to bear this
great burden, comfort yourself with,
the thought that liis going away
has added another jewel to the I
{
home of the soul and pray God’s i
blessings that you may meet again
where no death will separate.
in October 1899 Mr. Pentecost
was initiated into tin* independent
Order of Odd Fellows at Beech
Creek and went through the chairs
in this lodge, tilling each ofllce
with credit to himself and the or
der. He was appointed district
deputy grand master of the thir
teenth district and proved himself
a most capable officer and a noble
Odd Fellow. Therefore be it
Resolved, That Beech Creek
Lodge No. 121. I. (). O. F., which
he loved ao much, extend to the be
reaved family our deepest and most
heart-felt sympathy in this hour of
sorrow; and.
Resolved, That a copy of this* pre
