H. N. Slagle was born in Macon County, North Carolina, June 22, 1856; was happily married to Miss Mary R. Wharton, June 25, 1878. Two sweet children blessed this union. He was converted in 1875, and joined the Methodist Church, in which he lived until death, at his home in Tyler, Texas, July 2, 1894. Bro. Slagle was a happy Christian and bright example in his home and in the Church. A more loving, conscientious and self denying husband and father would be hard to find. He did all that he could to make home pleasant and happy. It was his delight to entertain his preacher, and he enjoyed the society of all good people. He was a steward of Cedar Street Station, and filled the office with credit. he was unusually happy and zealous in the cause of Christ during the few last weeks of his life. All unite in saying he was a good man. May God, by his grace and people, comfort the hearts and sustain the bereaved until death is swallowed up in victory. T. T. BOOTH, P. C.
