Obituary.
Died, at the home of his
father near Gravity, December 28, 1898, John Morgan Wallace, aged 35 years, 11 months, 3 days. He was married
to Anna Shrake April 5, 1888,
and joiner the A. C. church of Gravity in October afterward, where he remained
until about two years ago when he united with the Seventh Day Adventists and
remained there until his death. He leaves a wife, father, mother and seven
brothers to mourn his loss. Funeral services were conducted from the A. C.
church by Rev. Bixler, after which the remains were laid to rest in the old
Gravity cemetery.
Dark is the hour when death prevails,
And triumphs o'er the just;
A painful void within the breast,
When dust goes back to dust;
And solemn is the pall, the bier,
That bears them from our presence
here.
But there's a bright, a glorious hope,
That scatters death's dark gloom;
It cheers the saddened spirit up,
It gilds the Christian’s tomb;
It brings the resurrection near,
When those we love shall reappear.
Then mourn we not as those whose
hopes
With fleeting life depart,
For we have heard a voice from heaven
To every stricken heart:
Blest are the dead, forever blest;
Who from henceforth in Jesus rest.
With kind regards the Lord beholds
His saints when called to die;
And precious in His holy sight,
Their sacred dust shall lie
Till all these storms of life are o'er,
And they shall rise to die no more.
A few more days and we shall meet
The loved ones, whose toil is o'er,
And plant with joy our boundary feet,
On Canaan's radiant shore;
Where free from all earth's care and
fears,
We'll part no more through endless
years.
