T C Quarles, one of Jackson County's pioneers and most prominent citizens, died at his home near Whitleyville. He had been very ill for several months, but was better recently. Heart failure was the immediate cause of his death. He was past 79 years of age and leaves a widow and several children among them Mr B L Quarles, of Gainesboro and Dr. John D Quarles, of Whitleyville. the following resolutions adopted by the Masonic fraternity recite the events of his long and useful life. Truly, a grand and lovable character has passed out into the higher life. *********************************************** IN MEMORIAM. A tribute of respect to the memory of Bro. Thadeus C Quarles. Brother Thadeus C Quarles was born April 20, 1821, in White county, Tenn., and in his early young manhood linked his destiny with Miss Elizabeth Williamson, who became his wife on the 10th day of January 1843. With his young wife he moved to and became a citizen of jackson county sometime in the year 1839. ((((Please note the years here are typed as is for marriage and move)))) His wife departed this life Feb. 26, 1850. On June 25, 1850, our Brother was again married to Mary J McCue, with whom he lived a peaceable, quiet and prosperous life until the 25th day of Feb. 1859, on which date she departed this life, taking the sunshine out of his home and leaving him only the disconsolation of sadness and gloom. On the 7th day of July 1869, Bro Quarles was again married to Miss Nancy J Sadler, who survives him, and who like a ministering agnel has lightened his pathway through life, with love, joy and gladness, until 10:20 pm, on the 16th day of June, 1900, when he peacefully! quietly and fearlessly departed this life at his home in Jackson county, Tennessee, aged 79 years, 1 month, and 26 days, leaving a wife and eight living children to mourn his loss. Brother Quarles early in life heard the beautiful story of the Christ, and gave his young heart to Him who doeth all things well, joining the Cumberland Presbyterian Church sometime in the year 1842. Some five years afterwards he joined the Sparta Presbytery and became a licensed preacher in 1847, since which time up to a few years ago, as opportunity would permit, he has regularly preached the Gospel with much ea---- nestness and power. Our borther was made a Master Workman by being sublimely raised to the Third Degree on the ---day of ---, 1847, in Tannehill Lodge, No 133, A F & A M. He has always had the profoundest admiration for the principles and tenets of our ancient order, and never for once has faltered in his unalterable faith in the "Lion of the tribe of Judah." He loved the order of Free Masonry, he loved the brotherhood, and tried to exemplify in hislife the principles and teachings of the order. He has tried to live a consistent Christian life, being a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, until he was called hence by the Grand Master of the Universe. Death then has again thrust in his sythe and taken from our midst our venerable brother, rich in years, rich in experiences, and grand in his splendid victory and achievements over the yicissitudes of mortal life. What then, are all the externals of human dignity, the power of wealth, the dreams of a--bition, the pride of intellect or! the charm of beauty, when Nature has paid her just debt? Here the scepter of the Prince and the rod of the beggar are laid side by side. While we drop the sympathetic tear over the grave of our deceased brother, let us cast around his foibles, whatever they may have been, the broad mantle of Masonic Charity, nor withold from his memory the commendation, that his virtues claim at our hands. Therefore be it resolved, by Tannehill Lodge, No. 133, A F & A M, that we bow in humble submission, and accept with solemn feelings of sorrow and sadness, this dispensation of the Grand master above, in removing from among us our zealous and noble brother; that in his demise the craft has lost a splendid co-laborer, the church an able minister, the county a noble citizen, the community a true friend, his sorrowing wife, a good and dutiful husband and his children a kind and loving father. Be it further resolved, that we here with tender to the sorrowing and disconsolated wife and children, our sincere sympathy, and condolence, in their sad hour of bereavement and that the Secty. be directed to deliver to them a copy of these resolutions as expression of the same. Be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be published in the Gainesboro Sentinel, and also that the same be spread upon the minutes of the Lodge. June 18, 1900.
