The subject of these lines, Mr. William G. Bateman, was born in Houston County, and when he reached manhood he moved to Butler, where he spent the remainder of his life, which took its flight July 1st. Just before the sun shed its brilliant rays over this earth his soul immortal was in Paradise surrounded by the eternal rays of an allwise and glorious God. He was 59 years old and his life has been well and nobly spent. His demise has robbed his family of a model husband, father and brother, and the county of one of its best citizens, for he had so lived as to gain the love, confidence and esteem of every one who knew him. He was upright, honest and truthful in all his dealings with others. He possessed one of the kindest, best hearts, that ever throbbed with munificent and tender emotion. With him the golden rule was no theory but a practice. He was ever considerate of the faults of others, and to the poor and friendless he was always willing to aid in supplying their wants or assisting them in distress. As a husband, father and brother, his devotion was such as one would look for, from him whose life was so pure and good, and in whose heart was such depths of love and kindness. It is so hard to give up our loved ones and say "Thy will be done." It cannot be that earth is mans only abiding place. We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades - where the stars will spread out before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful things here pass before us like visions, will stay in our presence forever. Let us be resigned to God's will, and live with a hope of meeting our departed loved one on the better world, where God will gather the broken links never more to be separated. Then - "Let not our hearts rebel, God gave - He took - He will restore; He doeth all things well." A Loving Niece So beautiful and appropriate are the above lines taken from the Fort Valley Leader, that we take pleasure in publishing them in our columns in memory of our deceased friend.
