Again has God in his infinite, power and wisdom seen fit to call from our midst another precious soul. Chas. Hall was born in 1S79 at this place and died May 24th, 1S!)7, aged 17 years and seven months. 11 is suffering for the past two months was very severe, but the grace of God sustained him until the angel of death took him away. No one heard the angei: no one heard the fluttering of its wings no one saw the track of light that marked its path: no one heard the guest of celestial music when the pearly gates opened, but the form on the pillow heard the summons and God in his infinite wisdom was pleased to call the dear one away. As we cannot understand God's dealings with his children it behooves us to bow in submission to Ilis will. When the friends gathered at the church to take a last look of all that remained of the poor hoy they con Id not realize that he had lived and suffered death, but looked as one fresh from the hands of God and waitine for the breath of life. It is hard, indped, to think that one just in the bloom of youth should be forced so earlv to lie down by the roadside between Waynetown and Hillsboro to rest before half liis journey on earth is completed. At school the scholars will gaze at the vacant seat, but they will never forget him, and in years to come his name will be cherished among" his playmates. Although we will miss the kind face and loving smile, let us look up to Him "who doeth all things well" and trust that some day not far away we will meet him or. the other side of the "river of death," where no sorrow ever comes, neither sighing nor crying, but where all is in peace and love, and may we say "thy will, not ourB, be done." Everything that money and loving hands could do was done for him, but it was not to be that he should longer tarry, and surrounded by friends, neighbors and heart broken relatives, he passpd from earth into the unknown. The funeral was preachpd at the Christian church at Wavnetown Tuesdfly by Rev. Loucks of Wavnetown. The remains were laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery of Waynetown.
