Gone To His Reward
This week are called upon to chronicle the death of one of Adair county's best known citizens--Eld. F.C. Shearer, who died at his late residence Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. About four weeks ago he was suddenly taken ill while returning home from town and had to be lifted from his horse. In a few hours he was removed from his residence and his condition gradually became worse until the end came.
The deceased was a man for whom every one had the utmost respect. For the past thirty-five years he had been a minister of the Christian church, and for the past quarter of a century he had preacher for different churches in Adair county. He was zealous in all his work and what he did was done in fear and admonition of the Lord.
The deceased was sixty-eight years old and was a native of Wayne county. In 1856 or 7 he entered college here; became acquainted with Miss Nannie Trabue, and they were subsequently married. The first years of his married life were spent in Wayne county, returning to Adair after the close of the war. The fruits of this union were five children, three sons and two daughters, all of whom are living.
Mr. Shearer's first wife died about 10 years ago, and three years thereafter he was married to Miss Mary Burton, of this place, who survives without issue.
Funeral services were held at the Christian church, this city, Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Z.T. Williams, man friends being present in token of the respect they had for one who was loyal to his neighbors and true to his God.
