On Sunday, Oct. 9, 1892, at 8:30 p.m., Thurman Bare was called away from earthly friends and loved ones to the final home of the people of God. Little Thurman was only 4 years, 4 months and 1 day old. On Monday night he manifested the first symptoms of that awful malady, membraneous croup. His only symptom, however, was a slight hoarseness. This created no alarm, as similar symptoms so often occur with our little ones. The usual remedies were used at once. The child seemed to suffer no inconvenience at all till Friday night. Dr. Doyle was called early Saturday morning. All that medical skill or loving hands could do was done.
Little Thurman was a remarkable child. Never did his courage fail. Amid his intense suffering he displayed such heroic courage and fortitude as to cause the deepest possible sympathy and solicitude on the part of the friends who were trying to assist him. In the two days of personal acquaintance I learned to love the little one, and will always remember his noble fight for life.
We laid him away in the beautiful Highland cemetery Monday afternoon. Little Thurman will be missed not only in his home, but by other friends and his Sunday school. The family have the deepest sympathy of many friends. J. M. SETTLE.
