OBITUARY--FRANK ABBOTT
Thou art gone to the grave,
But 'twere wrong to deplore thee,
When God was thy ransom,
Thy guardian and guide;
He gave thee and took thee,
And soon will restore thee,
Where death has no sting,
Since the Saviour hath died.
Frank H. son of Samuel and Mary E. Abbott, was born April 10, 1871, and departed for the haven of eternal rest, August 9, 1904, aged 33years, 3 month and 29 days. About eight years ago he joined Rosa Adams in the holy bonds of matrimony. To this union were born two children, one son and one daughter. It was on account of the serious illness of his daughter that his beloved wife is not present, for this reason the funeral is deferred to some future time so that the wife can be present.
Soon after they were married they took up their abode in Hagerstown, Ind. It was here that they spent about four years of their wedded life. From thence the little family moved to Brazil, Ind., from thence they moved to Olive Branch, Ill. It was but a few days ago when the duties of life called him from that place to a place called Buncumbe. He engaged there to run a threshing engine, while on duty the fatal blow came, however he lived a few days. As soon as it was seen that the blow was fatal, immediate summons was sent to his father, to which he at once responded. 'Twas about 1 o'clock last Monday night when his father got to the bedside of his son; there he found Frank in a dying condition, but manifesting a Christian spirit. On last Tuesday evening about 4 o'clock he manifested a willingness to be resigned to the will of Divine Providence, and said to his father, 'Father, I must go; I am going home to my Father;' then in about one hour his spirit took its flight to the realms above.
About the year 1894 he was baptised into the Church and family of God; as to his Christian life we have but little knowledge as he has been living out of the state, but it is to be hoped that he has lived in accordance with the teachings of our Savior and King. Frank was also a charter member of the Red Men's lodge, of Hagerstown,which was organized April 6, 1896, with 51 members. This order proved to be a blessing to him in his last days.
Two years ago last January, after a visit with his people he bid his folks goodby for the last time. On August 11, 1904, his body returned to its place of birth, however, in the cold embrace of death.
He leaves father, mother, one brother, three sisters and many other relatives and friends to mourn their loss, but our loss is his eternal gain.
A BROTHER'S REVERY
Dearest brother, you have left us,
In this world of sin and care,
You have joined the shining angels
In that land to heavenly fair.
You are treading the golden streets,
Where the holy feet have trod,
Where the flowers are ever blooming
On the pathway up to God.
You have worked in our homestead,
You have wept ofttimes alone,
You have toiled so laborously,
Now, to you God Says, 'Come home.'
You are dwelling with your darling,
With your God supreme in love;
By and by we hope to join you,
In that smiling home above.
The above was read by Rev. Holiday on last Thursday afternoon, over the remains of Frank Abbott, at the home of his father, where many friends had gathered. Appropriate singing was rendered by a quartette composed of Mrs. W. H. Porter, Mrs. Ed Mason, and Messrs. Mahlon Gebhart and Frank Geisler. A large procession followed the remains to the German Baptist cemetery. The procession was led by the Cambridge City band and by members of the Red Men's order. The pallbearers were:Claude Murray, Carl Fritz, Manny Pitts, Joe Lilley, Lon Gohring and Charles Allen."
