The Comrade    December 2, 1910
  Mr. Alex Maseberg of Wheeling died Nov. 24th with typhoid fever.  He had 
been sick about seven weeks, and while it has been known for quite a while 
that his condition was serious, the news of his death came as a shock to his 
many friends here.  He leaves his mother, three sisters, one brother and 
scores of relatives and friends to mourn his loss.  His remains were laid to 
rest in the Mt. Zion Cemetery.

In Memoriam

  On the evening of November 22th, the Death Angel entered the home of our 
friend and neighbor and took there from her eldest born Alexander.  It has 
been well said, "Death loves a shining mark."  When he calls one of our loved 
ones it always seems that was the dearest of all.  Alex or Zan, as his mother 
called him, was a quiet exemplary young man, the stay and comfort of his 
widowed mother, the eldest boy of a family of orphans (his father being lost 
at sea as he returned from a visit to his native German home).  He was looking 
forward to a life of usefulness and helpfulness in his community.
  The human mind can't reconcile itself to the loss, the loving hearts 
reconcile from the thought of the long separation, and we cry out in our agony,
Oh, why was he taken?  Why not someone not so much needed?  Bur God answers 
back, "All things work together for good to those who love me."  So while our 
eyes cannot pierce the veil of God's reason yet we know He doeth all things 
well; He loves us or He would never have given His Son to die for us.  And 
here is the balm for our sorrow.  He died for tis!  For Alex who received him 
into his heart - for loved one, and you may all meet him and his Savior there 
around the throne where there shall be no more sorrow nor crying for God shall 
wipe away all tears from their eyes.
     O Death, where is thy sting!
     O grave, where is thy victory!

                   His friend,
                    C. W. SHERMAN
