Death of John Bottom.

With deep regret I report the death of Uncle John Bottom, who departed this life on the 19th of May. If he had lived until the 5th of June he would have been seventy-nine years of age. He died on the place where he was born and reared and leaves a faithful and loving wife, to whom he had been married fifty-five years and six sons and two daughters, with a large number of friends, by whom he will be greatly missed and to whom the sympathy of the entire community is extended for their loss of an exemplary husband, father, friend and neighbor. He was the first member of his immediate family to pass away; but, as the good deeds of men live after them, and continue to bear fruit his memory will long be cherished and kept green in the hearts of all who knew him. he was a consistent member of the Baptist Church for thirty-nine years, and it is truly consoling to know that his was a useful as well as a long life. "Weep not, dear wife and children, but prepare to meet me on the other shore, where there will be no more parting and we can forever hold sweet communion with the blessed Redeemer." Rev. E. W. Sommers preached the funeral sermon at Deep Creek church the day following his death, and Uncle John was tenderly laid away in the cemetery to rest until the judgment morn.
