On the sad night of Nov. 23, 1921 at 12:30 o'clock the Lord sent out his Death Angel to the home of Mr. G. Blackwell. He clicked the door of death behind him and carried him to a better land for rest, where he should not suffer or be in pain, but in a beautiful mansion of rest. We lived by Uncle G for seventeen years, as we knew him he was a good faithful father and husband, and one of our best citizens. He was a good grandfather, for while among them he acted as a child. As a citizen he was a man among his fellowmen and did all he coulde to help them. He was true to his church, when he was able to go, and we missed him very much when he was no longer able to go but we miss him more than ever but we feel as he was taken from us for some good cause, as God knoweth and doeth best, all things. We know of no better man than Uncle G. Blackwell was and we trust that his boys will follow the example that "Dad" has set for them. Uncle G. was almost 70 years old. He is survived by eight children, three sons, five daughters, many rel- miss him very much, for he was loved by all. Dear friends, we send out our hearts full of sympathy and though "Dads" place can never be filled again. May god bless you and comfort you in grief, but just think that he is no longer in pain or suffering but resting with God, the master who took Dad away for he has done his duty here on earth and has now gone to fill his place in the mansions of God. You friends, Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
