CHANDLER DEAD OBIT May 26, 1897 Elder W. D. Chandler, one of Madison Counties oldest and most respected citizens died at his home near Uplon Church on last Wednesday and was buried at the family burying ground on last Thursday afternoon. Elders McLerney and Hurst conducting the service. He had been feeble for a good long while but was taken seriously ill about three weeks ago. He entered the ministry in his early days and has walked the path of duty, rectitude and right from his boyhood days and the Father of us all has called him home to wear the crown that was prepared for him and to dwell in that mansion which was not made with hands but made of God. He raised a large family of children all of whom but three, with his good wife preceded him to the other shore and now he has gone to join them where the partings are over and peace forever reigns. To the weeping ones we extend our heartfelt sympathy and say to you not to weep for the departed for he is with the redeemed and by living up to him example you too will join him and the others in that celestial city where the family ties will be forever clasped.
