EULOGY BY IU
Delivered at Elks Memorial
Service Sunday Afternoon
Beautiful Tribute to the Memory qf
the Late Ludlow BirdKOjig Deliver
ed by Hon. William B. Jones at the
Grand Theatre Sunday Afternoon.
Ladies and Gentlemen and Brother
Elks; Again it becomes our painful
duty to meet in this hall after the
lapse of but one short year and witii
tear-dimmed eyes to note the vacant
chairs which the dark and heavy
hand of death has ' cast around us
. The admonition of the uncertainty of
life and the certainty of death which
has come to the members of our fra
ternity have been frequent and im
pressive, vbut my limited time will not
permit me to speak, if I could express
through words the loyal traits v of
character of those who have- been
called to the mystic Great Beyond
prior to our last meeting, those who
we loved and who loved us wltU ten
derness and who were faithful unto
us even unto death. They have left
us temporarily but when the great
day of rejoicing shall come, when the
, hearts of all shall be known, when
those who with us were but aspiring,
struggling and suffering mortals,
those who shared our joy and pain
and who have watched us wistfully
battling through life, wilf meet with
us, we shall understand and there
will be no sighing or parting there.
Though the light of life may be
dimmed and the shadows of twilight
falling, the deeds of a good man may
be an impress that will pulsate
through all eternity. It is with pe
culiar admiration and with deep
thought that inspires my every
prayer that I may but live to attain
those splendid traits of character
and ideals to uplift my fellow, man
to better Christian endeavor in this
life that were always and ever pres
ent in S. Ludlow Birdsong, of whom
it is my privilege to speak. ' Born
in- Wake county on the 16th day of
August, 1884, he lived with us as
one of us, always present and agree
nble in his manner, ' accommodating
and unselfish in every walk of life.
In the very bloom of his young man
'. hood he was afflicted with a sickness
, -. which proved the forerunner ;of an
'ncurabledlsease. V He , struggled
. bravely! against. 'but his friends
saw the dark angel hovering 'over
him and our Great Creator in His
omnipotent power and wisdom sent
the angel ' of death and took him
from our midst on the 5th day of
Marc.i, 1910. As a man soldier he
bore his suffering bravely and with
the faith of a little child he went to
meet his God. He was a man of
singular simplicity and purity bfi
