In Memory Of Mr. J. W. Taylor. Written For The Home Joubnal. On Saturday 7 , August 24th, just after the clock had tolled the hour of two, ; the angle of Death came, and took from us our beloved orand-father. Although he had been in feeble health for the last several months, and physicians said, he could not live, his death was a shock to us, as we all had hopes that the greft Healer.mighir spare him tobe with us,and bright en our lives awhile longer; but that was not to be, for the Mas ter was ready for his treasure, and took him home. We ought to try to be reconciled to give him up, as weknow-.his every moment this year has been spent in intense suffering, and now we feel that he is enjoying sweet rest, in the beautiful beyond, where all is peace and happin ess; no more sor row and suffering there. Iu the sixty-two years of his noble life, thirty-five of them were spent in serving the Lord. His great desire in live was to live near the Lord, and be at per fect peace, with those around him. He always had a kind word for everyone, aud was ever ready to held the needy. He was the only grand-parent I have ever known, and many hap py days of my life have been spent in his happy home. If we could all only live>such a true Christian life a3 he did, I am sure some of us would be greatly changed.May the Lord bless and help the be reaved son to follow the examples and walk in the bright footsteps of his father. ‘Tis bad to think, lie has gone from us forever, still, we know, “That the Lord knows best.” May he comfort the heart broken wife, who so patiently sat by him, day and night, obeying bis every wish. Her only desire seemed to be to wait onjhim. In his death the Church loses a faithful member, the community a good citizen, and 'the family a devoted husband, father and grand-father. . He is not dead,he has only gone before us to that home beyond the skies. in the gloomy night of our deep sorrow, we hope the lamps of Heavenly promise will cheer us odward. His sacred memory is entwin ed around our hearts, which we will tenderly cherishuntil we, too, are called to go. * ‘ Granddaughter . ’ ’ Geo. W. Lane, Pewamo, Mich., writes: “Your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the best remedy for indi gestion and stomach trouble that I ever used. For years I suffered from dyspepsia, at times compell ing me to stay in bed and causing ftie untold agony. I am complete- i ly cured by Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. In Memory Of Mrs. V. E. Heard. Elko Etchings. in Written For The Hoke Jour vat. Whereas, our Heavenly Father His alwise providence, has again seen fit to visit our vicinity and claim for his victim the wife of Mr. Y. E. Heard, and daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Gilbert. On August the BOth, 1901, Mrs. Fannie Heard was called to her eternal home, where parting is never more. Mourn not, dear parents, for thy loved one, for she has gone to a glorious mansion, a love, where pleasures never die, and praises always ring; we know that it is hard to give-her up, but remem ber dear friends, that ""the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh; and he taketh only that which is his. And while our hearts bleed by the seperation, which death has caus ed, we feel and trust that in some future day we will join our loved one on the banks of the river that flows from the throne of God- Sister Heard was a member of the Baptist Church, a noble good woman, and one that we all be lieved to be a true Christian. She was loved and. higly esteem ed by all who knew her, and Oh! how she will be missed by her dear husband and little children, but alas! we have all got to go sonfe day,and we knownot at what time the Lord will bid us come. So let us be prepared to go at his first bidding, for we know not how soon. We know that a vacancy has been made which no one else can fill; that home is no longer what it was when our friend’s face and voice welcomed her loved ones there; yet we know that she has received he reward in Heaven and God hath said “well done thou good and faithful servant,” and she now awaits our coming and will welcome us there, where death can never part, but-where we can be a united family in a home not made with hands. Mother has gone to join her dar ling little Jim, who was called to his beautiful home in June, and her other loved ones who have been watching and waiting for her. Our Christian sister leaves an aged mother, husband, four little children, two sisters and three brothers, besides a host of friends and other relatives to mourn her death. v Why do we mourn departing friends, Or Shake at death’s alarm? ’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, To call them to his arras* The graves of all His saints he blessed And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with their dying heads upon Je sus breast* A true friend.
