H. Brickey Son of Margaret and Robert Brickey, died of typhoid fever at his home Saturday, December 15th, 1:00 p.m., age 18 years and 11 months. Sorry, sorry to say the death angel has again visited at the home of a poor, stricken-hearted mother, and has taken away one of our brightest and most intelligent boys, who will be missed by his classmates in school, for he meant to win in all his undertakings. No one knew him but to love him, why should we weep, for he feared not death. He called them to his bedside and asked them if they would pray. While our knees were bent and hearts lifted towards God, his dying words were "Lord give me peace and happiness, let me flee from the wrath that is to come and pass through the valley and shadowed death for the rod and the staff, they comfort me". He also sent a dying message to his most intimate classmate who could not be with him to pray and meet him in heaven. Oh! How hard it is to bare. His body was laid to rest in the Brickey Graveyard on Sunday. We share with them in sympathy and love as a schoolmate and cousin. May they be enable to say as JOB of old, "I will trust Him though He slay me".
