Rockfoed, Ala., Sept. 23rd, 1875.
Elder P. D. Gold.—
qj|vOU will please publish the obituary of
Jfi our beloved brother-in-law, G. AV.
itj Taylob, who departed this life Aug.
23rd, 1875, in the 37th year of his age. His
di.sea.se was Epilep.sy; his sufferings were
great for several years previous to his death
I have nursed the sick, more or less, ever
since I was a child ; yet never have I seen
such agony.
I nursed him from 'Tuesday ’till he died
which was on the next Alonday; during
which time his wife, my husband and my
self st.ayed with h m both night and day ; we
could not sleep sutch gloomy days and dreary
nights. Alay I jnever again behold, Jor bo
compelled to see a dear friend suffer so se^
verely, and .so long, knowing that death was
all that would relieve him.
Before he died he became quiet, and peace
fully closed his eyes in sleep, that sweet .sleep^
from which none are known to aw'ake.
Sleep George, sleep, thy work is done,
'The battle isfought and thy victory is won:
Oh ! George, we miss you in your sleep,
AA'hile for thee in silence we weep.
In health he was quiet and reserved : in
sickness meek and submissive. He was
truthful, honest and kind-hearted ; a kind and
afiectionate husband and father, a good neigh
bor and citizen ; in truth, he was a noble^
whole-souled man—his noble precepts are
well worth remembering. He was a strange
man : unlike many he stood aloof from aP
worldly institutions. He did not believe in
funeral preaching or anything of the kind.
'Though reared in luxury he never was known
to wear a fine shirt but once in his life and
that was the night he was married. lie pre
ferred plain, neat, home-made clothes kept in
order He requested his wife to have him
buried in her own work, and a iilain coffin.
Truly can I say:
'There was no earthly pomp,
No splendor nor display
'To herald in the spotle.ss soul,
'Through gates of shining day.
No grand display of woe,
No crowded, bustling throng,
AA'hen angels bore that soul to join
'The hallelujah song.
Yet, there was joy in heaven,
'That through the fields of lights
One seraph more would wing its way
On pinions fair and bright.
Though, for many days our George was
unable to speak, God gave him a .speaking
eye: he was able too, to make signs with his
hands_ AA’hen life was fast ebbing away he
extended his hands to those around his couch,
looked upward, folded his hands across his
breast and clo.scd his eyes. AA’as not this
enough ? Dtd it not tell as plain as any lan
guage cotild, that he was resigned to go ? If
not so: what was the meaning of that calm
look? 'The ineffable light of those wdld blue
eyes, the unspeakable joy that rested on that
pale face ? Even in death he looked as
calm as an infant sw'eetly sleeping. Though
he W'as no professor—tell me not that his soul
is lost. I cannot, W'ill not believe it! I be
lieve he posse.ssed true charity—in my opin
ion, the greatest Christian grace bestowed
upon poor mortal. Does the word Charity
simply mean, bestowing your goods upon the
poor ? Ferret out this word, ye gospel teach
ers—it has a deeper meaning. Does not every
Christian cherish it in his own bosom ? does
jt not ble.ss them in their pilgrimage here be"
low? does it not conduct them to the presence
of their God ? When faith is lost in sight,
hope in fruition, does not the love of God (or
charity) remain, binding the spirits of the
redeemed in blissful communion, and uniting
them to God tlie Father, and Christ the Elder
Brother ?
Our George was a great Bible reader. AVhen
a person searches the scriptures daily there is
a cause for it. Some read for argument—not
so with George : he never argued on scripture-
Did he not read to gain instruction ? I think
he did : and I believe he gained it too.
Aly God, incline the heart of every reader
to search the scripture, as I believe George’s
heart was inclined. 'Throughout his sickness
he was never known to murmur—he bore
everything with great fortitude. He w'ould
often say: 'There is a better day ahead for
me. He had a great many misfortunes and
sore heart-rending trials. I don’t believe that
Job ever had worse trials nor do I believe he
bore them with more patience and fortitude.
But, now his safferings are over, and his soul
at rest.
He left a devoted wife and five children to
mourn theii loss, with many friends to grieve
that such should be their lot. But, He that
stood by the husband and father in death, ha’^
promised to be a husband to the widow and a
father to the fatherless, and will watch over
and protect them.
None of his own relatives, except his fam
ily, were near him when he died, tho’ a host
of friends supplied their jilaces and wept—
sad tears bedewed each cheek for George.
Homes were deserted and business stopped—
but all could not stay tlie hand of Death, that
summoned him where there was
No mother to cool his burning brow.
Nor press it to her breast;
No father’s prayer to waft his .soul
'To the land of joy and rest.
No Sister there to stiy. Farewell 1
Nor kiss his pale wan cheek ;
No brother there a tear to shed,
•^.Nor a gentle wo:;d..to speak.
But, friends were there, who stood
And watched his ihttteriug breatli :
AA'ho wiped the death-damp from his brow.
And closed his eyes in death.
His weeping wife knelt o’er his couch.
And prayed : Oh, God of love !
Relieve hl.s aching head from pain ;
Receive his soul above.
Oh, what a glorious hope is theirs :
AA’ho in God’s mercy trust :
Their spirits bask in joy and love,
AA’hile the bod}- goes to dust.
A little while, and we all too,
Must know our final doom—
May we, like George, at last find rest
In iieaven, with Christ at home.
M. -A. Matilda Saltkr.
