OBITUARY

R. S. McLemore

Died:- At his home near Wheeling, La., June 15, 1906, R. S. McCLEMORE, aged 75
years, 8 months, and 24 days.

His remains were interred at Mt. Zion Cemetery June 16.

He died where he had lived for thirty-nine years, and where he reared all of
his family.  His troubles were complicated and either one of them were
sufficient to cause death.

The deceased was a true and loving husband and a kind and faithful father.  He
was a noted Christian, and a peacemaker among men.  He was loyal to his
country, having served four years in the Confederate army.  God in his wisdom,
saw fit to take him away, but oh! how sad to part with one so near and dear.

He leaves a wife and ten children and a host of dear friends to mourn his
death.

For days we watched the ebbing life
As in its fight to stay;
Till as the noon was coming up, 
Our last hope passed away.

He was the music of our home,
A day that knew no night; 
The fragrance of our garden bowers,
A thing all smiles and light.

Each flutter of his pulse we marked,
Each quiver of the eye;
To the dear lips our ears we laid
To catch the last faint sigh.

At last the fluttering pulse stood still,
The death-frost through her clay,
Stole slowly and as noon came up
Our dear father passed away.

                                         A SON.
