The death an^ei visited the home of Mr Ransom Sessions on May 7th, 1910, and took hi* spirit unto the God who tfave it. But the T.orJ knew best and has called uncle Rinsnu to live with him aud the bright angels in heaven. He was sick for a lon^ time an i suffered what no tongue can tel , but he said if it was the Lord's will to take him away he was f.mdv to ere. He said that he didn'i VV.V.J O " ' want h s people to grieve after him for he was goiug home where the L rl had prepared a place for him and for who would live a Christian life. We know he is through with the trials and troubles of this sinful world and has suffered his last pain and is now resting in the arms of Jesua. V He wa9 ready and willing at all times to help thoee in trouble and was glad to tell thein what a dear Savior they would find if they would only give Him their hearts. He leaves a loving wife, two daughters and one grandchild, two brothers, two sisters and a* largo host of friends and relatives to mourn their loss. But while we mourn we hope it is his eternal gain.

He was a kind husband, a loving father and a good ** neighbor.

Glorious sunbeams alway v,vrw* *' - kiss th soil that covers thy last rest ing place and though the encirlin/ gloom at night may bright star shine keeping their lonely virgil above thy grave. Truly we can say: A loving one from earth is gone, A voice we loved is still, A place made vacant in our home, Which never can be filled.
