DEATH OF R. S. ABRAMS.
Pied at His Home ftoary 23rd and was
Buried in Family Plot Nearby , "
Robert Steele' Abrams, well
known as 4 'Uncle Bob,,, died at
His home at Sandy Plains on
Thursday, February 23rd, 1905.
He was in his eighty-first year
born Oct 24, 1824. " '
He was a inan of temperate
habltS and mode5?t nrptontinno-
unassuming in his deportment;
flihgentnd prompt in. the per-
formance of duty. . A .man of
few words, but grave arid sin
cere,' thoughtful of others as
well as for himself. The unfort
unate and poor shared the earnr
ings of his hand and . were ob
jects of his keen -perception and
partakers of his warm sympathy.
He was honored by .the . people
ot his county, for thirty; odd
he served as Clerk of the Superr
ior 'Court.
' Mr. Abrams was never mar
ried but took upon himself the
-duties and cares of 'domestic life,
keeping house and caring for a
sister who was dependant upon
him after .the death of their
parents. For forty-four years
they have lived together at the
old homestead and each of Ttheta
a great help and comfort t6th6
other. The dissolution of "their
earthly pilgrimage carries 'with
it 4 griefs' and heart rjmdin&s
totally unknown to anyone exr
cept those who are.' placed in
similar circumstances. T5iere;
f ore many were the' expressions
of Sympathy for "Aunt Ann,"
as she is usually called. ' She was
iister to him", attending him' with
, ... , . ..11.
every ; kindly ministration tui
and the silver chord was loosed
The heart ceased to throo and
the vital spark went out. The
spirit returned to God who gave
lb aim iu vvuo oaiu vjuviv jjkj
is dead. 1
For manv months his' physical
arH mAiVtal derrlinn was sOarJcaiV
ent as to be a source of anxious
concern upon the part of his
friends. He bore his suffering
without p.nTTinl Ainf. and his depart
ure was without a strusrcle. a
falling asleep - '
It would be difficult to ascertain
the benevolent deeds that have
been done by Mr, Abrams, as it
was not his custon, in doing alms,
to sound a trumpet before him,
nor to let' his -"riht hand know
what his left was doing.
Appropriate services were held
at the home on Saturday at the
hour of 11.80 and the body was
laid beside' the parents in the
family plot nearby. The clouds
mingled ' their tears with the
Borrowing relatives and friends
as the casket was being lowered
m the grave.
To the bereft sister we extend
our sympathy nd commend her
to that source 'from whence
"cometh every good and perfect
gift."
