A GOOD MAN CALLED HOME

The Faultless Life and Peaceful Death of Joseph Temple.

Joseph Temple, one of the pioneer residents of Jackson township, died at his home near the Union Baptist church in that township on May 10, '94, after a lingering illness of seven weeks; aged 67 years and 4 days.

He was born in Adams county, Ohio, May 6, 1827, and when about fourteen years of age came to Jackson township with his parents. He was married to Ann Andrews, July 10, 1849. From this union six children, two boys and four girls were born, all of whom are living save one, which died in infancy. His wife died in 1871 and he was again united in marriage to Lenora E. Eastman, July 3, 1872. To them were born five children, four boys and one girl, all of whom are still living.

During the winter of '57, in a protracted meeting held by some of the original members of the organization known as Grace Chapel, whose meetings were held in the old log school house, situated near the residence of the late deacon Burnsides, he was converted to God and baptized in April following by Elder Dye, who was afterwards instrumental in organizing the Union Baptist church, Aug. 15th of the same year. At the time of the organization Mr. Temple was elected deacon, the duties of which he faithfully discharged until his death. He was one of the leading workers and supporters of the organization and was always ready to take an active part in their meetings or to give of his means. The large membership of the church today is principally due to his labors.

His last sickness was pronounced by his physicians to be progressive paralysis, and was of some five years' duration. During the past two years he was confined to his home and during the past seven weeks unable to leave his bed. He was an intense sufferer but bore it all patiently and frequently remarked he was ready to obey his Master's call. We can but believe that in the church triumphant he has been introduced into still grander, choicer and still richer labors of love. By his death his wife has lost a good and affectionate husband; his children a kind and indulgent father; the community a good, honest, upright citizen and the church almost an irreparable loss. It is needless to speak of the many virtues and deeds of kindness that characterized his life. They are well known to all in the community in which he lived. His life was a successful one and it is hoped that he is now numbered with the spotless and pure in the eternal and celestial city from whence none ever return.

The funeral was held in the Union Baptist church, and was conducted by Rev. Isaac Evilsizer, of Urbana, assisted by Rev. N. J. Kinney. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in the township, being about six hundred people present.
