Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Lumberton, R. F. D. 5, Jan. 10 –
Mr. Elias West passed from earth's sorrows to heaven's glories last Friday morning at about 4 o'clock, being 78 years, 4 months and 7 days old. He had been in failing health for several months prior to his death and consequently the end was not unexpected. He was one of the best men, combining every quality that tends to make up a Christian gentleman. He was a life-long member of Antioch Baptist church and had served as a deacon for 22 years. He served as a soldier in the Confederate war the full four years of that awful period, and so faithful was he in the discharge of every duty that was his, he came down to the grave without a single splotch on his character, either socially or religiously.
He leaves to mourn his departure three sons, Messrs. E. W., J. P. and A. C.,and two daughters, Misses Victoria and Caroline West, besides a great host of other relatives and friends as was attested by the large concourse in attendance upon his funeral and burial which took place the day following his death, at the family cemetery near Singletary's X Roads church, the writer conducting the funeral. "Mark the perfect man and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace." Ps. 37:37. It was a real pleasure to the writer to declare that in his opinion the text literally solved itself in the life and character of him whose remains were being interred. May it be thus with us all.
Sympathy and Christian condolence are extended all the bereaved.
J. M. FLEMING.
