A weight of sadness and gloom has been hanging over our town because of the death of Benjamin W. RIFFLE which occurred in the J. C. Blair Memorial hospital last Wednesday evening. Mr. Riffle had gone there on Monday to be operated upon for appendicitis. He survived the operation but other troubles developed which was beyond human control and after three days of great suffering death came to his relief. It seems only a few years since we knew “Benny” as a bright, sunny boy in both Sunday school and public school. Later, but still a boy, he joined the Methodist church where he soon became one of its most zealous workers, especially in the Sunday school but always ready to take charge of the Epworth League and prayer meeting. As superintendent of the Sunday school which position he held for many years he has ever been faithful and showed wonderful patience and untiring energy in training the children for all the special day entertainments. Oh yes, we shall miss him everywhere, in our town, and church. The boys and girls in his Sunday school class were very much attached to him. Many of them have already gone out in the world and fill useful positions today. B.W. RIFFLE was 37 years old, is survived by a wife and one little daughter. To them we offer our deepest sympathy, yet we know that weak words from such as we cannot soothe their heart aches. The Great Comforter can strengthen and bless his tired over burdened children though why he has permitted their affliction we cannot understand. But not today, then be content, poor heart God’s plans, like lilies pure and white unfold; We must not tear the close shut leaves apart, Time will reveal the coylexes of gold and if through patient toil we reach the land Where tired feet with sandals loosed may rest, When we shall clearly know and understand, I think that we will say, God knew the best.
