“And Jesus said Suffer little children to come unto me,

Sweet child, tho’ brief thy stay on earth, yet it was hard to part,
So strong were twined affection’s cords around they parent’s heart;
But thou in memorie’s shrine shall live while reason holds its reign
Our sorrow cheered by this bright hope– we’ll meet in heaven again.”

Mr. Robert Nickles, an old and highly respected citizen of Andrew county, died at the home of his son Mr. Sherman Nickles, three miles northwest of Rosendale on Wednesday evening of last week at 7 o’clock, after a prolonged illness of several years.

Mr. Nickles was born in Union county, Indiana, June 18, 1835, and came with his parents to Missouri when he was a lad of 13 years. They settled in Andrew county. This county

has been his home ever since. In 1856 Mr. Nickles was married to Miss Anna Simmons, and to this union there were born four children, two sons and two daughters. Both daughters and one son, however, died, leaving but one child to survive the father. Mrs. Nickles died February 23, 1901. Mr. Nickles was stricken with paralysis about seven years ago and has been in very poor health ever since. During the last two years he has been an invalid and a great sufferer. At the time of his death he was in the 75th year of his age.

On the 24th day of December, 1906, he sent for the pastor of the Presbyterian church at Rosendale and expressed to him the desire to make a profession of religion and to unite with the church. Thoroughly convinced of his sincerity and acceptance of Christ as a personal Savior, the pastor administered to him the ordinance of baptism and he was received into the church. This step which Mr. Nickles admitted should have been made earlier in life accorded him great comfort during his sickness. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. A. W. McGlothlan at the home of Mr. Sherman Nickles on Friday, May 6, at 10 o’clock, after which the body was laid to rest in the Bennet [sic] Lane cemetery.

DIED-In this place, Saturday January 10th, 1852, at 12 1-2 o’clock, A. M. Mr. William Riley Murray, formerly of Kentucky, aged 22 years.

It is a painful task to perform, yet due the memory of the dead to indite an obituary notice.

But the duty is relieved of some of the most unpleasant reflections, when we call to mind the many virtues of the lamented Murray. We had been acquainted with this worthy young gentleman for but a few months. During these few months, by his manly bearing, his upright walking, his strict integrity, indeed we may say by the practice of all the excellencies that are calculated to endear, and to elevate to the highest seat in our affections; he had wound himself so closely around our hearts, that when called upon by the fell destroyer to part with him, it was with bitter tears and heaving sobs, that we submitted to the decree of an all wise Providence.

For his loss, the social circle may mourn the departure of one of her brightest ornaments; our young friends may weep at the thought, that from us has been taken one of the kindest and noblest of hearts, and is chilled by death. Society may be cast down in the deepest sorrow and dejection, for the putting out of one of her brightest lights.

He is gone from among us, his body sleeps with the cold, cold clods of the valley, but his memory lives and shall ever live as fresh in our hearts as though his manly form moved in our midst; his warm and affectionate heart gladdening, and making happy, as he was wont to do, all with whom he came in contact.

He met his fate as only his bold heart could. “It is hard, but if it is the will of God, I am ready,” were his words.

He died trusting in a merciful Jehovah, in his dying moments hoping and believing that he would enjoy a seat at his right hand in the day of his coming to judge the world.

His distant friends may rest assured that all the aid that human hands could bestow, was freely given; many kind and affectionate friends watched with him during his sufferings; and proper and appropriate demonstrations were made performing his obsequies. W.

When we see a precious blossom, That we tended with such care, Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair. ‘Round its little grave we linger, ‘Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes have perished, With the flower we cherised [sic] so. We shall sleep but not forever; There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part, no never,– On the resurrection morn.

Little Ray, only child of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Muir, was born January 9 [sic], 1900, and died March 6, 1901, aged 1 year, 1 month and 6 days. This tender bud blossomed on earth to live but a short time. He was the pride of the family; his little face and bright eyes were so dear to all, but God, in his great wisdom, saw fit to take him from earth, to bloom in that eternal city not made with hands. How much sunshine he brought into that home, or how it wrung his parent’s [sic] hearts to give him up, none know or can even imagine, except those who have passed through a similar experience. But little Ray was to die, leaving sorrow-stricken parents and very near relatives; for the sting of death had set its seal by breaking the tender chord of life, and the tired little lamb fell to sleep:– “Safe in the arms of Jesus.” If we could but look through the Pearly Gates and see him robed among white robed angels, our sorrow would be quickly over, and we would not bring him back for a moment’s time– we would not disturb one day of heavenly job for life on earth. It is true we all long for the touch of a vanished hand and for a voice that now is still; yet God’s will, not ours, be done, for he hath said “suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.” Life, at best, is only a little span, just a few days and this life is ended. Words from us come as cold comfort to those bereft of their little one, and we can but these sad parents and relatives to Him, who comforts and cares for all.

The beautiful white casket was covered with lovely floral offerings, which showed the sympathy, love and respect that the neighbors held the mourning ones. Funeral services were conducted at the Gravel Wall church in Andrew county, by Rev. Clark, of Fillmore. The remains were carried but a short distance to the cemetery, where baby was laid to rest in his deep and narrow bed, to await the first call on resurrection morn.

Not now, but in the coming years, It may be in the better land, We’ll read the meaning of our tears And there, sometime, we’ll understand. Then trust in God thro’ all thy days: Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand; Tho’ dark thy way, still sing and praise; Sometime, sometime we’ll understand.
