Obituary of Joseph L. Acre
At about 3 o'clock Sunday morning, June 13, 1897, just before dawn of that beautiful day, the spirit of Mr. Joseph Acre took its flight from the vale of tears and was borne on the pure morning air o'er the trackless path on which so many bloodwashed saints have traveled in their flight to eternal glory, there to find welcome only to those who lived in the fear of the living God.
He had been in poor health for some time and had been confined to his bed for some time. Death to him was not unexpected, neither was it feared. Mr. Acre was nearly 68 years of age. He was born in Orange County, IN, in 1829, and moved to this neighborhood when a mere child, and remained here until he was called by the Father who doeth all things well.
Mr. Acre was united in marriage to Caroline D. Hamilton in 1859; to them nine children were born, eight boys and one girl, three of whom preceded him to his final home. His widow and six children survive to mourn his loss. The children are all married, except Allie, the youngest who yet comforts his aged mother in the dreary home which death has robbed.
Mr. Acre was a Christian, having been in the service of the Lord for about 40 years. We present him not as a perfect man; for none are perfect, no not one. We mean by that he had weaknesses, but his erring was of the head and not the heart. Oh, death how little do we understand it, and how could we reflect too often on it, which is no respector of persons, while in its onward march it so unmercifully fastens its grasp upon those who perhaps in our own view, will be missed most, and having no regard for the sorrow and heartaches left in its wake. Disregard for its victims almost causes us to rebuke it, but while in sorrow the thought comes to us, death is but a moment's separation, and to the child of God it has no terrors, but a debt we owe our creator. As we express our love for the deceased, having known him from our infancy, so long as life lasts the writer will remember the advice and good influence of the departed friend. We feel that we have been drawn nearer to the Devine Being, and would ask Him to encircle the entire bereaved family with His love. May their pathway through life be softened by devine influence, assuage and soothe the path and suffering of their hearts and reconcile them by love.
