GRINDLE > The Washington Republican > Washington County > Friday > May 3, 1901 > > William H. GRINDLE was born Oct. 25, 1876 at Red Oak, Iowa. Was married to Miss Courtney CULLIMORE May 11, 1895. She died in Christian faith Sept. 10, 1896, at Frankfort, Kansas. > Will united with the Washington Baptist church, Feb. 2, 1896, and from that time to his death, which occurred April 25, 1901, was a worthy member and loved by the brotherhood. He leaves the church, brothers, sisters, mother, father and a host of friends (as shown by the exceedingly large funeral) to mourn the loss. The funeral sermon was preached from Acts 11:24, "He was a good man." > Though he lived a private and short life he has stamped his character upon the minds of all and has left his impress on his time, and if by his death he could be the means of winning others to love this Savior. > A place that was bright with the light of a sweet-spirited man is in gloom today, a voice is hushed here that the cord there might be the purer for its aid. While yet the hopes of young manhood were high, while sought to bring you, who had brought only joy to him, to God, it seemed best for God to call him home. > Those who were privileged to know this man of gentle spirit and kindly voice, his memory will be as the sweet scent of roses in June time, for he too in the early summer of his life was as the choicest of the first blossoms. > To the lonely family, the church and his many friends who are stricken and with a void before them seemingly too great for man to span, the remembrance of the few sweet years companionship, the faith and gentleness, and the blessed influence, will be a balm for your wounded spirtis and it will strengthen you to know that this parting is only passing thorugh the doors, and the he isnow with the same glad smile, the same joyous welcome awaits us, for he is not dead--nay such as he are, not born to die. The form we gave back to mother earth last Sunday was the earth. The real man, the Divine essence has only returned to its element to continue its mission of goodness; so with love we say farewell for we know it is well with him. C.L.
