The two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Austin of Anderson and Miss Mattie of Waynetown survive and together with a host of relatives and friends mourn his departure. He united with the Christian Church at Scott's Prairie when but a lad and has continued in the active service of the Lord until death. He placed his membership at the Ingersoll Chapel Christian Church at its organization 40 years ago and was one of its elders since that date and the last one of the charter members to pass away. He was clean in life and pure in character, devoted to family and church and always gave them first attention. He was slow in speech, slow to wrath slow to answer and it may be truly said of him he hath done what he could. He rests from his labors and his word do follow him. | |
