In Memory of W.T. Shearer
At the old Trabue home, William Trabue Shearer died Jan. 8, in the same room in which he was born August 24, 1860.
He was the oldest son of Rev. Frank L. Shearer and Nancy L. Trabue. His father, a well-known minister of the Christian church, was a native of Shearer Valley, in Wayne Co., belonging to a family of early settlers, noted for their integrity of character. His mother was the oldest child of William Trabue, and Elizabeth H. Caldwell, and was the gentlest, most tenderly loving mother I ever knew. There was a charming devotion between her and this dear son. From a child he was a strong and decided character, always taking a stand for the right. His father depended upon him and trusted in him. No one ever heard him speak any kind of bad word or tell anything but the truth. He was temperate in all things, in his language and habits, not even using tobacco. He spoke often in public for the cause of Christ, and while still a youth, would read the Bible and conduct family prayers. In my mother's last hours he read to he[r the] 2nd Cor. 5th Chapter, which contains the passage, "Willing rather be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord," and so he expressed himself in his dying hour. God granted him a blessed and triumphant departure from this life. he told his only son to meet him in the "glory land." He made bequests to his daughters, and many many tender things to say to his wife, with their hands clasped in this parting hour.
He was married to Eliza Breckinridge Petty in December, 1890. To them six children were born all of whom are living, except one infant. While at his daughters, in town, a cold developed into pneumonia. His wife brought him here to the old home, and the few days he remained with us, everything was done for him that the loving care of his family, the skilled, faithful nursing of his wife, day and night, and the constant attendance of the doctor could give him. Every body loved him, Every body needed him, he never neglected any duty, or shirked any care. His physical strength was not equal to the demands he imposed on himself and when he "heard the voice of Jesus say come unto me and rest," he willingly left it all, and the command and went join the "spirits of just men made perfect." /s/ M.J.T.
"The old Trabue place," known as Willow Glen, was located about a mile from Columbia. At the time of Mr. W.T. Shearer's death, Willow Glen was occupied by his maiden aunt, Miss Matilda J. "Tillie" Trabue, his mother's sister and the last surviving child of Wm. & Elizabeth Caldwell. Almost beyond question, "Miss Tillie" was the "M.J.T." who penned this loving tribute to her nephew.
Mary Moore, Oct 18, 1891 to Feb 16, 1926. She died during child birth and buried in Moore Cemetery. Married James Warren Moore, the son of Nathaniel Jonathan Moore and Mary Frances Gowen whom are all also buried there.
