In Memory of Robert B. and Drayton T. Livingsto One by one of our' good 01(1 vote ans are pass5ing. away. Robert HeItoni Livingston died is home in d1oily Stireet on Thur day night, the 25th of October. He wvas born A ugust 15, 1821, ma' ing his pilgimage on earth 85 yeai 2 months and 10 (lays. Uncle Bo as he is b)etter' known leaves a r'eco1 of being a good and faithful soldi of the Confederate war, and also good citizen. His life, was a life nuietude. The great sins of me dling and gossiping, which are doji so5 much harm and being praictici among so many of what .the wor calls our good people, found1 lodging place in the heart of Un( Bob. No, the most hai-m Uncle Bi did was that to himself. If he con * do you no good, he was sure to you no harm. He was twice marric leaving only onle child, Mrs. Marga Troutman, who is the birth' of first wire. lie was last married Miss Lucinda Werts, who still s vives him.' They have one adopted s Mr. Robert Stone, who has been ve faithful in caring for them. Uncle Bob was a member of Paula church. Mis funeral w preached at his home by his old pe I tor, the Rev. J. A. Sligh, and the bo a laid to rest in the family buryi ground. 3 It is very sad, indeed, to see h1 rapidly our blessed old veterans a passing away. It has been only a little more th two -months ago since Uncle -B looked into tile open grave of I brother, so one follows another. Drayton 1'. Livingston was bo August 14, 1830, and died August ] 1906. Age 75 years, 9 ionths and days. It was my privilege to visit Un Drayton a few weeks lbefore he di -vloved to talk about the wm beyonid. Ife read hli,- Bile, htIe sai coiti6ntously, an)d was well inform .in its tetehing-s. Ie showed no fe of death, but rather spoke as if knew that the separation would for his eternal goI. He was also -member of St. Pau!s Evangelical I. theranl churilch and died in tle uIt - eran faith. Uncle Drate was a good old pene able citizen. I have known him my life. He is one among a thousal of whom I have never heard any hai spoken. He was also a good faitlif sQklier of the Confederate war. Both of these good old patric were among my best friends, whom loved.I hey were faithful in pea and faithiful inl wvar, but they ha lef,l us. their rv,.!l never be se here amliong uts any MOre, but thie go deeds of their true faith will still li on and w1 ae r1 lef withl Ile eoif< o1( God 's pr .ii se I a t says, ' ' He Il is faithful over a f,ew things, I w mllak( him ruler ovetr Iany.'' OnV two of this good old family a left-Uncle Dan, who was born ( toher 9, 1815, which makes his age years, and Aunt Margaret Kina who was born October 11, 1823, and now a little more than 83 years age. So we see that God has abum e antly blessed this entire family, g ing each one more than their allott time, which is only three score yel N and tenl. Peace, love and quietude are I characteristics of this family. T. J. W. St. Paula Items. The council of St P)auls ehm has unanimously elected Rev. J. Sligh pastor for another year.
