DAIL, was born in Greene Co., N.C.; July 12, 1878, and died near Hookerton, N.C. August 6, 1910; aged 32 years and 24 days. Brother DAIL professed faith in Christ when young and connected himself with the church at Ormond's Chapel, and lived a consistent member to the day of his death. He was sick almost a year. Rheumatism was the dominant trouble, and during his suffering with this disease, the appendix of the colon became involved, and he had to undergo an operation which so exhausted his strength as to continue the decline of his health until death. I visited Brother DAIL several times during his sickness, prayed and talked with him about his spiritual state and always found him perfectly resigned to the will of God. A short time before he died he told his faithful wife that he would soon be at rest, and it would be better than this world could give. He seemed to be so humble and so patient under his affliction that it made me feel, while at prayer in his room, that I was in the presence of the holy angels. He leaves a wife and three little children, a father and mother, four brothers and three sisters to mourn their loss. May the Lord bless and comfort END OF DOCUMENT
