Death Of Dr. Wayne Silver
After a long and wearing illness, Dr. Wayne Silver died at his father's
home, Saturday evening, November 23rd.  Typhoid laid hold on him in the late
summer, and bravely he fought it to the end.  Indeed he won the fight against 
the fever, but complications took advantage of his weakened condition, and 
these he could not withstand.
In the spring Dr. Silver would have counted his twenty-third birthday, had
he lived.  His life lay out before him full of promise, it seemed to all who 
knew him.  His brief stay in Marshall, where he had begun the practice of his 
chosen profession dentistry, won for him the esteem and high regard of all 
with whom he came in contact.  His many friends here followed with great 
sympathy, and earnest hope and prayers for his recovery, the brave fight he 
made against death.
Three years ago Dr. Silver united with the Baptist church at Laurel Branch.
Last summer he moved his membership to the Marshall church.  In his
religious life he failed not to honor his Lord and Saviour.  Genial, kind
hearted, gentlemanly always and eager to do good, he won for himself a
place in the heart of every acquaintance.  We wanted to hold him here below.
We felt we needed such a life as his promised to be; but he was not, for God 
took him.  Our hearts now bow in submission, for we believe that though he is 
absent from the body, he is "present with the Lord."
The burial took place Sunday afternoon at the Bailey cemetery in the
presence of a great throng of his friends.  A number of his Marshall friends
attended the funeral.  In the services the writer was assisted by Rev. L. C.
Roberts.
To the bereaved family our hearts go out in full sympathy, and we commend
them to the tender keeping and love of Him who knows our sorrow.

W. E. GOODE.

NOTE: The date the article appeared in the paper is hand written by some one
as 11-20-1912 but the date of his death is written in the article as
11-23-1912.  I do not know which is correct.
