DILBECK – Raymond O. Dilbeck, son of T. A. and Martha C. Dilbeck, was born August 20, 1880, and departed this life six p.m., September 14, 1902, at the home of his parents in Hurricane township, Fayette county, Illinois. He was the oldest of five children. His parents, three sisters and one brother survive him. During his illness, which lasted for a period of twenty days, he suffered greatly, the affliction being caused by an abscess on the liver. While he suffered much he always was very patient and submissive through it all. While he was thus afflicted, engaged with the family in prayer, he was clearly saved of God, after which until his death he spoke often to the friends and relatives of what the Lord had done for him. A short time before his death, on being questioned about the welfare of his soul he said, “Ma, you need have no fear, it is well with my soul.” Oh, how we miss him none can tell only those who have had a like experience. The bereaved family with God begotten hopes await the time when the resurrection trumpet shall sound and call us to meet him in the air. So shall we ever be with the Lord. The funeral service, held at the home of his parents, was well attended by a host of friends and relatives, being conducted by Rev. Wm. M. Wilson. We mourn his loss but not as those who have no hope. We would not call him back if we could for we know he is at rest, but we can meet him on the resurrection morn where parting shall be no more.
