IN MEMOltlAM.
It is fitting that some tribute be
paid to the memory of those whose
lives have been without reproach.
Fo aav something annronri*f? nf
?r r? r i r'?
the life and memory of Frank D.
3reen is my purpose; that 1 shall
fail I know for it is hard to write
>f him as he was.
He was born and raised at the
sld homestead in this countv, he
breathed his last there at 12 o'clock
soon on October 20th, last.
i knew him for yoars; 1 saw
bim in the sanctity of his home
ind amidst the rush and anxiety of
business life and he was evor the
same patient, cultured, christian
gentleman. His character and
lite were spotless, his neighbors,
those that knew bim best, will
bear witness to that.
He was a most modest, unas
turning man, he never took an in.
toxicating drink and a word of
profanity never escaped his lips.
The world knew him as an upright
business man, prompt to
meet every obligation, faithful to
fulfill every promise and true to
every instinct and honor.
But it wan in hit) home whore
the true parity ana unselfishness
of his life shone forth so beautifully.
Since the death of his
father he has kept the old home
intact for his mother and sdstors.
To them he was husband, father
and brother and life can never be
qaite so bright to them since he is
gone.
How patient and unselfish he
was in his devotion to vbem only
their aching hearts can tell, but
there is no bitterness in their
grief for he was a perfect man and
hie end waspeace. The day before
he died hn Hnnlro In M?o ''' '1
?w w|/vnv IU 1UI O. JL
Green of seeing such beautiful
lights; oven then mortality was
putting on immortality and tho
curtain of eternity was removed
lon^ enough for him to see into
that city whore there is noither
day nor night, but God himself is
the light thereof.
We were piesent and saw him
die and as we gazed on his peaceful,
calm countenance wo involuntarily
exclaimed "O death whero
is thy sting."
i No child in * fond mother's
"arms ever sank into unconsciousness
more peacefully than befell
into that sleep from which he will
Awaken no more on this earth,
-fie was dead, his spirit had returned
unto God who gave it, but
the noble life he lived, the virtues
he exemplified, the good influence
he exerted, the happiness he cast
o^er those around him and tho
host of mourners who followed
him to his final repose arc a menUndent
to his memory more enduring
than the hardest granite
and an epitaph tnoic eloquent
than the Bard of any age could
compose.
He was buried Friday evening
at Camp Creek church by the sulo
of his father after a most appropriate
and beautiful service by his
pastor, Rev. Joseph T. Dendy
^rorp.the texts: "Be ye therefore
'irefcjy also" and "Blessed are the
Idem! which die in the Lord from
ft
henceforth. Yea saith the spirit,
| that they may rest from tboir
I labours, and their works do follow
them."
When all that was mortal had
returned unto earth the newly
made mound was covered with
flowers and we left him there until
the earth and sea shall give up
their dead.
He sleeps in honor, not a sound
Shall stir his last repose,
A host of Gods encamps around
To save him from his foes.
He has no fears of death nor life,
He's past their travails now,
No songs of peace nor sounds of
Strife *'
Can rnfile his calm brow.
What cares he now for man's
grdat griefs,
He rests serene in that calm
spot.
At last he's found that great relief
And until now he knew it not.
He sleeps, no waitings of despair
Can'penetrate that mound of sod,
No voice can call him up from
there
Save one, that of Almighty God.
The devotion existing between
he and his family was great indeed
and their grief is touching. To
./..J i.fch. I- l e 1 J-i
iuo a^qii uiuiuciuuu iuuu aiitiui'H
whose hearts almost died with him
that day, we can only murmur
\"May God temper the wiud to
the shorn lamb."
The brothers who know that hi9
council was always so true can
honor him most by walking in his
footsteps, and may they ail ovor
remember that 14blessed are they
that die in the Lord."
