Obituary.
The saddest home in all the world it seemed was that of Mr. and Mrs. J.H.
Stell on October 25, 1902. Charley, their beloved son, was called from this
earth to a higher and better home. His death came sooner than we expected,
resulting from that most dreadful disease, typhoid fever.
His home previous to his death was at Horn Beck, La. There he was sick
several weeks. His father thought it best to bring him home, for Charley
thought if he could get home to mother he would get well. But, alas! in
three days after his arrival the God of Heaven thought best to take him
higher, that he, laying his life down, might bring us closer to Him that
knows all things best.
Charley had many friends, he being such a bright, good-hearted little
fellow, made all who knew him love him. He was 23 years of age, just in the
bloom of manhood. Oh! how hard to think that one so young and bright should
depart this life so soon. But the young die as well as the old; so take
courage, father, mother, brothers and sisters, and get ready to meet dear
Charley in Heaven.
His Uncle Dave.
