Rash, W. A. The church in general, and especially the College Street Church, has suffered a great loss in the recent death of Brother W. A. Rash. Brother Rash was born at Gainesboro, Tenn., in the year 1854 and spent his early life there. He was instrumental in establishing apostolic Christianity during his life there, and used freely his talents toward its maintenance. About fourteen years ago he became a resident of Nashville, identifying himself with the College Street church of Christ. As an elder and overseer of this church, he was always cognizant of the responsibility of the office, always discharging his duties in a scriptural and satisfactory manner. He is survived by his wife, Sister Lucetta Moore Rash; one son, Dr. Rash, a leading physician of this city; and two brothers. The funeral was conducted by the writer at the College Street church of Christ in the presence of many sympathizing friends. The large floral offerings and the many expressions of sympathy showed the high esteem in which he was held among his friends. While a great man in Israel has fallen, we believe that it is a victory; for after a while, if he was as faithful to God as we have a right to believe, he will inherit the crown for faithful service done. “Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions.” May the bereaved be led to emulate his every Christlike characteristic.
