The great messenger of death stalked his icy figure over the land of Fosterville on January 8, 1916, and claimed as one of God's holy angels R. C. Bingham. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Bingham, of Fosterville, Tenn., and leaves a father, mother, brother, and sister, with a host of friends, to mourn his death. He was born onJuly 25, 1898. Clyde was in school at Burritt College and was attacked with typhoid fever, which cause him to be removed to his home. A faithful member of the church of Christ was he; hence all who knew him loved him for his devotion to God and man. The short, sweet life he has lived can never be excelled and his strong influence will forever be felt. He met duty with a smile, always occupying a front seat at church and opening each meal with prayer. He was kind and sweet to all, and the very atmosphere where Clyde was known is filled with sadness. His life was an example of purity and a shining light to guide one and all. No mind can fully grasp his true worth, for he was a rare jewel. His last words were sweet--"My, my Lord," in whom he lived daily. We knew him well, and a more beautiful Christian character will never be created than Clyde; hence his absence is heart-rending. Services were conducted by Brother Gleaves. One of the pallbearers was his devoted lifetime chum, W. H. Thomas, whose heart is sad indeed. But God knoweth best. To his bereaved father, mother, brother, and sister, this is hard to bear; but we admonish them to be consoled by his upright, Christian life, and to continue to trust in the reward of their gracious Creator and live to meet their darling again. May Heaven's richest blessings be with his loved ones and friends. Alma Moore. - Gospel Advocate, February 10, 1916, page 143.
