Col. R. V. Lanier died January
28, 1902, at his home in Salisbury,
N. C., and even before a physician
could be summoned—and medical
power could have been of no avail
—death had triumphed. His death
in all its suddenness was not un>
expected. This pilgrim for eight
years bad his face turned toward
the sinking sun, and those years
cast about him a halo of light that
gave to him the assuring consols*
tion that bis life work had been
well roundel up. For many years
Col. Lanier was one of the most
successful travelling men in the
Month. His genial, sunny nature
and fine common sense gave him
prestige in every gathering. About
eight years sgo the infirmities of
sge began to tell upon him and be
gave op active work. He loved bis
borne and the closing years of his
life were spent there. Col. Lanier
was born in Danville, Va , May 15,
1822. lie responded to the call of
the Confederacy sod served valiant*
ly during the war. After the war
he removed to Balisborv, where he
was marrie.1 to Miss Emma Hart*
mao, who survives him. Nearly
fifteen years ago be united with Mt.
John’s Lutheran church and was
sholDy afterwards elected so elder
of the congregation. The dosing
decade of his life beautifully exem
plified his unshakable faith. Chari
table always, be gave himself op
wholly in the later period of his
life in service fur the welfsre of
others and applied himself with
seal to the betterment of his spirit*
nsl condition. About two veers
be became onable to attend the
meetings of his church council, on
account of feeble bealth, and was
elected to a life eldership oy the
congregation. Tbtr token of con
fidence and esteem',.was made the
more impressive by the presenta
tion of a gold headed cane to him
by the congregation on Easter
morning, 1900, in connection with
the announcement of his election.
He died as be.wished—in the home
where he .had found such tender
and loving companionship, and the
sudden summons found him ready
like
“One - who wraps the drapery of his
couch about h'm
And lies down to pleasant dreams ’ ’
The funeral services were held
in St. John’s Lutheran church by
his pastor, Rev. L. E Bothy, D. D ,
assisted by Rev. Dr. Rumple of the
Presbyterian Church. The remains
were laid to rest in the old Lutheran
cemetery beside those of his wife’s
mother who preceded him only
three weeks before. May God com
fort the bereaved ones! J. M. J,
On the morning of January 21,
1902, in Madison county, Va., the
pure, sweet spirit of Mrs. Elisabeth
Ann, beloved wife of Mr. J. M.
Fray, winged its flight to the eter
nal world, leaving a devoted hus
band, four sons, three daughters
and one brother to monrn her
death. She was in her 79th year.
She hhd been married nearly fifty-
seven yekrt, and for a period of
more than forty years she was an
earnest and faithful member of
Hebron Lutheran chnroh. Conse
crated in life, she passed peaceful
ly and triumphantly to her eternal
rest. To sncb as she there is no
death, but only a transition from
this life to an enjoyment with the
Saviour in that home which he has
prepared for bis people. On the
day following her death, funeral
services were conducted by her pas
tor in Hvbron church and her re
mains laid to rest in the new ceme-
tery on the hill near by. While
we mourn let ua rejjice in the
blessed assurance that she ia be
yond the reach of sorrow.
-'Oh, comfor'lnf. sweet thought - that
though we ■tend
On Death's divided •bores,
Love still can stretch to at Its angel
band. •
And lay Its baart on oars '*

Thou bast Mt us. mother—hast gone to

bright, happy shore;
Then rest tbee in thy lowly bed, nor

lot is thine.
Having Jeans’ love esteemed o’er every
earthly thing,-
For rone of His flock redeemed will
Jesus fail to bring.
