Death of William R. Quarels
William R. Quarels was born in the state of Georgia on December 12, 1853 and died Sunday April 8, 1917, age 64 years and 4 months. He came to this country in the year 1870 and was united in marriage in 1876 to Miss Carrie Bushyhead. Although no children were born to bless this union the couple adopted and raised several orphan children who were as dear to them as if their own. Mrs. Quarels was called home several years before her husband received the summons to join her in that better land.
Mr. Quarels was converted and joined the Baptist Church in 1899 and during the remainder of his life was an active and faithful member in this church. He was prepared for the call of death and was only waiting for his summons.
The body was laid to rest Monday afternoon in a cement vault which he had prepared several years ago in the Baptist Mission Cemetery. His funeral was attended by a large number of his old friends and neighbors who from memory of his many kind deeds and beautiful life, shed tears over his remains in evidence of the deep regard and brotherly love they held for him.
May we all live the Christ like life, administering good to others, that our life like his may live in memory after we are gone to take our place at his right hand.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Bohley of this city.
