Daggy took place Monday a.m. at 10 o'clock from the home on 13th street. The songs were appropriate for the occasion and there was quite a large number of people present to pay their respects to this honored citizen and Christian. Elder Small spoke, paid a tribute to his life in the words of Paul and he being dead yet speaketh. This scripture is a testimony to the immorality of a great faith. "One man with a belief is equal to a hundred men with only interests." A genuine human life flows on beyond its coast. As far out at sea, off the mouth of a great river out of sight of land, the sailor lifts from the vessel's side his bucket of sweet, fresh water from the midst of the salt ocean, so the life we study this morning has had its influence and will flow out long after his body has moldered to the dust. His faith speaks of the gospel's power over men. "Our little systems have their day, They have their day and cease to be, They are but broken light of thee, But thou O Lord art more than they." It speaks of honesty and patriotism and goodness and courage. An old naval captain, who had fought under Lord Nelson, said to his son a short time before his death, "Charles, when I am dead, examine my body and you will find many scars, but you will not find one on my back." Would that every Christian could say the same. "I have fought the good fight, I have resisted sin though thick and thin, I have ever played the man of Christ." The remains were taken to Green Hill.
