IN MEMORIAM

F.M. McKenzie was born in Burke County, N.C., March 12, 1820, died Sept. 13, 1900, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Shell, aged 80 years, 6 months and 1 day. He was confined to his bed 12 days. His suffering was great but he bore it with patience.

He told his children he had a glorious hope of meeting their mother who had been gone 10 years. He professed religion in his 20th year and joined the M.E. Church, South, and held family prayers at this home and was a great worker in revival and camp meetings. For several days before his death he lay calm and serene awaiting the coming of the last messenger. It seemed as if his spirit was already beaming in light through the frail tabernacle, and the holy rapture in his eyes seemed to indicate that he was able to behold the heavenly visitants who had come to welcome him to the everlasting home.

The funeral was conducted by Brother M.F. Ray, of Athens, who had known him from boyhood.

His remains were laid to rest in the Spring Creek graveyard to await the final judgement.

We drop a tear of sympathy with the sorrowing ones. Live faithful children and by and by you will meet with father and mother where there will be no parting or shedding of tears.
