On Tuesday, the 30th day of May, 1911, Capt. Richard Coleman Stro ther fell upon that sleep which knows no awakening In this mortal world. Sitting at home, in tbe viney shadows of its surroundings, In full mental vigor, in physical power diminished only by the inroads of years and the scars of well-sustained hardships, and no doubt in his usual mood of meditation upon the beautiful face of nature, and upon the kindliness that mankind is due to man in pay ing tribute to Almighty God, that great heart-which had throbbed so devotedly for wife and children; which had gone out so kindly toward friend and neighbor; which had beat so sympathetically for those In dis tress; which had moved his hand to such generosity toward the deserv I lng; which had prompted such mag nificently provident effort, and which had swelled so devotedly with love and thankfulness toward God-In a moment of time had ceased to beat. Capt. Strother had entered into eter nal rest. As a son and brother his filial de votion was of the highest and nob lest order; as a husband he was the exemplar of loving fidelity and pro tecting care; as a father he was the soul of generosity and Indulgence tempered by judgment; as a friend he was as true as the blue skies of heaven, and as a soldier, no braver soul or nobler comrade ever shared the hardships of war. His hand, whether at the sword or the helm of peaceful industry, was ever steady and true to Its purpose. He believed in the religion of labor and eternal thankfulness toward God. He scorned deceit, being frank and open in every relation. He was unassuming and unostentatious, be ing plain In manner as becomes a man. He was gentle as a mother, yet firm as a wall ot stone. He ac cumulated through tho perseverance of honorable effort, and gave away with Christian beaeflcence. He was an inspiration to those who knew him well, and an/oracle In the exer cise of sound judgment. He was a Christian in thVught, a Christian by fellowship, niiA a Christian in the daily walk of/his life. He was self denying, and bore his griefs and ad versities w"h resignation. He was tender an/ loving, and his provident solicitIK!" for those in whom he was most interested revealed the heart of a no)>*> manhood. ?vcr his bier the man of God ut fered the eulogy which an intimate knowledge of the dead, as he-was in ' Ufa, prepared him to utter with such deep-sou led feeling and truthfulness. In the place of his own choleo and preparing he was laid to rest; and In that closing scene Nature seemed re sponding to the rights of the veteran; for in the sudden peal of the thun ders carno the boom of the cannon, in the lightnings flashed tho fire of ?be gun?, and in the quick rattle of the rain fell tho faint sound of mus ketry ?ill typical of the scenes that had marked the soldier's way. Ho passed thro1 his morning, his noontide, and eve, Thro' boyhood, and manhood, and age; And each bears Its record of duty and love A file with an unblemished page. -One Who ls Grateful.
