In Lovlnx Memory.
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 b< rn July 22nd, 1851) and
early in life he was happily converted
and joined the church at Poplar
where he remaided a faithful member
until his death. He was a kind
husband, a loving father and a good
** neighbor.
We stfall meet him no more in this
world but wo hope to meet him again
in that world where parting will be
no more,
On the following day the remains
were laid to rest at Poplar church
Woovtonfl rnir svmnrlhv to thf
M l/un iiuu.. - J [ u
bereaved wife and children and tht
entire family connection.
Farewell uncle Ransom, to t
brighter world thou hast gone when
. there is no death or sorrow.
Through all the changes of tim<
we shall miss thee, but from ou
hearts the sweet memory shall neve
rtAnaft. 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.
May we all find a home in heave
when our earthly task is done.
