Thomas J. Belcher son of Thomas and Lottie Humphrey Belcher, was born in Newport, Ky., March 12, 1875. In 1877 his parents moved from Newport to Wilmington, North Carolina, there his father died when Thomas was but eight years old. They lived in Wilmington making a success in business life until they sold their property and removed to Indiana in February, 1902, and located in Marysville, Clark county. Having been raised by a Christian mother, he confessed his sins in his youth and took upon him the yoke of the Lord, and became affiliated with the Baptist church in North Carolina. Last month while a revival was in progress at Marysville in the Christian church, he united with it, becoming an active member, speaking and praying in public worship, reading the Scriptures and admonishing others to become christians. On the third day of July he came to the city of North Vernon to visit J.C. Vorberger and wife, his relatives, also to receive medical advice and treatment for Brights desease. On Sunday morning, July 6th about 9 o'clock, he was suddenly stricken down, going into convulsions. Two of the best physicians of North Vernon were called to his relief, and all was done for him that loving and skillful hands could do; but the king of death claimed his right. And Thos. Belcher died at high noon, three hours from the time he was stricken down. One of the most nobel traits of character found in a young man in the world was in Thomas Belcher. He loved and obeyed his mother. Before he died he asked his cousins J.C. Vorberger and wife, to care for his mother if he should be called away. This was Christ like. The Lord Jesus Christ said to his disciples while dying upon the cross "Behold thy Master." Brother Belcher died in the triumph of a living faith in Christ, and we believe that his imortal spirit has had an entrance into the everlasting kingdom of the Lord, Jesus Christ. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." Bro. Belcher has left his dear mother, the only one that remains in the family with other friends and family to mourn their loss until they shall be called if faithful until death to enjoy heaven with the redeemed forever
