DEATH OF L. M. PRESTRIDGE
Larcus (Larkin) M. Prestridge was born May 14, 1858, and departed this life, June 2nd,
1906. He died at his home near Aberthathy. He was a member of the Methodist
Episcopal church and has been a consistent member of same for about twenty
years. He suffered for six months or more and he bore the intense pain with
patient trusting in god for ease. Bro. Prestridge talked of Heaven a lot while
suffering and often said he was ready to go and that he could see his way
clear. Brother Prestridge was a devoted christian gentleman and had the good
will of everybody. He has quit the walks of man and has gone home to god. He
did not want for anything that his friends could do and few if any man had more
company during sickness than Bro. Prestridge. His brother Odd Fellows looked
after and cared for him as did many others. He was a member of the I.O.O.F.
Lodge No. 352 at Hopewell which organization conducted the funeral services at
Antioch church the third of June, about eight Odd Fellows being in attendance
together with a vast crowd of friends who mourn his loss. Brother Prestridge
will be so badly missed in Cleburne and especially in this community. He was a
business man and a fine farmer. He spent his life hard at work; he was born and
raised in this county and the example that Bro. Prestridge has set to his
family and friends will long be remembered. Now to his dear companion and his
children, would say, take his advice, prepare yourselves to meet him on that
blessed shore where weeping at bed sides will come no more while his death is
one loss, it is Heaven's gain. He cannot come back to us, but we can go to him.
This is a great consideration, cheer up, do not grieve, he is not resting
without pain. May God's blessings ever be upon the bereaved. A friend and
Brother.

NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, OCTOBER 27, 1932 CARD OF THANKS Death has recently come into our home and carried from its portals one to us more precious than life, fairer than the morning star and our best earthly friend. In our inspeakable sorrow, we have been sustained by God's richest grace; by deeds of human hands, beautiful to us in their unselfish ministrations; and, by words of friends who knew our departed one, "who to know her was to love her." For all tokens of thoughtfulness in our bereavement, we extend our heartfelt appreciation, whether such tokens were of deed, word or flower, and fervently pray that your joys may be many and your sorrows few. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Prestridge Mr. and Mrs. Lon Thompson Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Beggs (Transcribed by Candace [Teal] Gravelle - [email protected] - January 17, 2007 |
