In Memory of "Uncle Charley" Rankin

On October 15, 1929, the death angel came into the home of Mr. John Rankin and bore away the spirit of his beloved father.

"Uncle Charley" was about 85 years of age. He had been a member of the Methodist Church since early boyhood. He was a good man and died as he lived, a devout Christian. He was a Confederate soldier and in losing him, we have lost a good man from our country.

He leaves ten children and a host of grandchildren and other relatives and friends to mourn his going. To his children whom he left, I will say:

Don't forget your dear, kind daddy, who has worked for you each day, for he loved you as no other - you to him should ever be true. Oh! Your daddy, he has left you, and his form you will see no more; but in heaven, he will greet you when your lives on earth are o'er. Now, your daddy dear is sleeping and his face you cannot see; and you should not forget his teaching and meet him again some day.

He was laid to rest under a mound of beautiful flowers in Sharon Cemetery, amid many sorrowing relatives and friends, Rev. Gibson conducting the services; and when each turned to go home, as the evening sun was low, they felt that they had left another soul in good keeping.
