-OBITUARY.
Departed this life, at his residence, in Sexton, Rush County, Ind., on the 10th, day of Dec. 1891, Wm. C. HANSON, in his 40th. year.
After months' of uncomplaining suffering, the Angel of Death crossed his threshold, laid one hand on the poor tired brain and the other on his heart, and the Sprit returned to God who gave it. Trusting in Christ, he bade all adieu and crossed over. Religious services were held by Rev. GORDON, of the U. P. Church, after which his remains were laid to rest in Shiloh cemetery, by the side of kindred gone before.
A widow; an aged mother; three brothers and two sisters are sorely grieved, but we mourn not as those who have no hope, but are resigned to God's will.
No healing consolation comes,
Even while we own God's will,
Our loving hearts and lonely homes
Cry for our dear one still.
'Tis said, God called you. Be it so,
Our souls are tempest tossed,
Heaven is so far from earth below,
We name you as our lost.For dark and wide across the land
Has Death's dark shadow swept.
And many a broken household band
This year with tears hath kept.
MOTHER. (4 Feb 1892)
