In Memoriam

Jackson – Died, at the residence of Mr. Kinyon Strickland, on the morning of
March 8, 1885, Mr. Alex T. Jackson.

Indeed a good man has gone.  May his past conduct serve as a guide to the
living, and his manly traits be perpetuated by the youth with whom he was
associated.  He had no relatives in this country, but his death will send sorrow
to many hearts.  He was a model young man, and loved by all who knew him.  In
feel satisfied that he is now basking in the beams of endless sunshine.  In the
language of another, “Alas! We cannot lengthen the tiny thread on which our
mortal existence hangs.”

“Ah! Am I born to die,
To lay this body down,
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?”

“How careful then ought I to be who such a strict account must give of my
behavior here.”  Tis hard to part with those we love, but we reverently bow to
the decrees of Him who doeth all things well.

H.L.B
