SOUTHALL. Nov. 51. [sic] -- It is with a sad heart that we chronicle the death of Mr. Matt Temple, who departed this life November 14, at about 5 o'clock p. m., aged 63 years and 11 months. He had been in bad health for nearly a year. He suffered intensely for a long time, but bore his suffering with Christian fortitude until God in His wisdom saw proper to call him up higher. He had been a member of the Christian Church for a number of years, and had tried to do his duty; he was a good neighbor, a kind and loving father and husband. He said he had no fear of death and asked his family to meet him over the river. Blessed are those who died in the Lord. To the bereaved family we would say, weep not for your loved one, but only strive to meet him where there is no sorrow or suffering, "God's will be done not ours." He leaves a widow and four children and a number of grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at the house Tuesday at 2 p. m. by Eld. E. B. Cayce; interment took place at the Allen graveyard.
