IN HKMuItlAN.
In memory’ of our beloved
brother, B. A. Carter, who
departed this life July 2, 1908
at the Fiagier Hospital in St.
Augustine, Fla., He was ill
two weeks of typhoid fever.
We were summoned to his
bedside but were not allowed
to see him till he had breathed
his la?t. It was so sad to see
him cold in death, and not one
member of his family to say
good-bye. “ All that medical
science coujd do for him was
done but to no avail. The
Lord knew best and saw fit to
remove him from our midst.
He loved him bett'.-r than we
did and took him up higher.
His home is made desolate.
A place is now vacant that can
never be filled.
Barn was a dutiful son, lov
ing brother, kind husband and
an aflectionate father, atten
tive to all cares and interests
of his home and and family.
Many people have enjoyed
the bounty of his hospitality.
None knew him but to love
him. None named him but to
praise
He moved his family to
Florida fourteen years ago,
but he never forgot his old
home. His love for his pa
rents was so great he was
ever ready to render any pos
sible kindness to them or to
anyone that needed his assist
ance. The home circle is now
darkened by death, but God in
his wisdom knew best and saw
fit to remove him and we must
bow to the chastening rod.
It will be a blessed recollection
that he grew up to love and be
loved by those who will ever
cherish his. sweet and pure
memory.
He leaves fether, mother,
wife, four children, five sis
ters, and four brothers, and a
host of friends to mourn their
loss. Farewell, dear Barn,
we will hear your voice on
this earth no more, nor feel
the w'arm pressure of your
hand. By God’s grace we
can meet you on the other
shore, where parting is no
more, and no farewell tear
ever shed.
