Castleman, B. W.
Brother B. W. Castleman has entered into rest. Brother Castleman was born on May 6, 1855, and died on July 25, 1902. He leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters to mourn their loss. To know him was to love him; he always had a kind word for all. He asked the brethren and sisters to meet at his home to worship on Lord's days, which they did; but they had the pleasure of meeting with him only four times. He continued faithful in the discharge of his religious duties to the close of life. The devotion between Brother Castleman and his wife was beautiful; they were one in life, heart, faith, and purpose. The sorrowing wife will have many heartaches and yearnings for the pleasant by-gone association. Lovingly he has filled his mission, and in peace he rests from his labors. Weep not, dear sister, for your beloved husband; only strive the harder to meet him in heaven, for I am sure he has gone to that beautiful home above, where he will be rewarded for his good deeds.
