Edgar Castleman died at his home near Donelson, Tenn., on September 11, 1899, of typhoid fever. He obeyed the gospel five years ago, and was about twenty-six years old when he died. He endeavored to live the Christian life after coming into the church, and was wonderfully hopeful and cheerful as his death approached, looking forward to a better and more enduring home, and was not the least afraid of the consequences of death. He made a faithful husband and father, and leaves a wife and child behind to mourn their loss of him, besides a father, several brothers and sisters, and many friends. But they are comforted and cheered by the hope of the gospel, and if they will serve the Lord faithfully in this life, they may meet him in that happy home that knows no ending, and where death can no more take their dear ones from their midst. A large crowd of relatives, friends, and neighbors were at the funeral to weep with those who weep, and to show their respect they held for the departed. His last remains were laid to rest in the family graveyard at this father's place.
