DEATH OF L. M. PRESTRIDGE
Larcus M. Prestridge was born May 14, 1858, and departed this life, June 2nd, 1906. He died at his home near Aberthathy. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and has been a consistent member of same for about twenty years. He suffered for six months or more and he bore the intense pain with patient trusting in god for ease. Bro. Prestridge talked of Heaven a lot while suffering and often said he was ready to go and that he could see his way clear. Brother Prestridge was a devoted christian gentleman and had the good will of everybody. He has quit the walks of man and has gone home to god. He did not want for anything that his friends could do and few if any man had more company during sickness than Bro. Prestridge. His brother Odd Fellows looked after and cared for him as did many others. He was a member of the I.O.O.F. Lodge No. 352 at Hopewell which organization conducted the funeral services at Antioch church the third of June, about eight Odd Fellows being in attendance together with a vast crowd of friends who mourn his loss. Brother Prestridge will be so badly missed in Cleburne and especially in this community. He was a business man and a fine farmer. He spent his life hard at work; he was born and raised in this county and the example that Bro. Prestridge has set to his family and friends will long be remembered. Now to his dear companion and his children, would say, take his advice, prepare yourselves to meet him on that blessed shore where weeping at bed sides will come no more while his death is one loss, it is Heaven's gain. He cannot come back to us, but we can go to him. This is a great consideration, cheer up, do not grieve, he is not resting without pain. May God's blessings ever be upon the bereaved. A friend and Brother.
