| 6815 |  | Obituary- Keigley, Albert Mr. and Mrs. T.A. Keigley's infant son was interred last Saturday. His twin brother was buried Tuesday, June 14th. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. J.G. Maver, who drew much comfort and instruction from John XIX, second clause of 41st verse: "And in the garden a new sepulcher." Both the sermon and the singing by the choir tended to vividly remind the mourners that there is an important sense in which the twin brothers occupy a "garden" grave, around which flowers of hope and promise cluster and grow. A large number of friends and neighbors were present, all of whom deeply sympathized with the parents, upon whom a double sorrow had fallen. [From The Rossville Times, July 8, 1892] | |
| 6816 |  | Obituary- Keigley, Arthur Obituary. Died, Monday, June 13th, Arthur, infant son of T.A. Keigley, aged 5 1/2 months. The funeral took place Tuesday morning. Brief services were held at the house, after which the remains were taken to the Presbyterian church, where the Rev. J.G. Maver preached a very impressive sermon, using as his text Job XIV:1: "Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble." He pointed out the fact that the days allotted to man are "few," indeed, whether death comes in infancy, in the days of youthful vigor, or in the season of ripe old age. He appealed to the common history of the human race to testify to the truth that "trouble" is man's common heritage. He admitted that many of God's dealings with the children of men are mysterious, but salutary, being means by which attention is called to and preparation fostered for the state and place of joy for which man's life on earth is intended to fit him. The mourners were directed to "Our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." A full choir was present. The hymns selected were fragrant with gospel truth and consolation, and were sung in a way that told of sincere sympathy with those who sat in the gloom that death had wrapped about a sorrowing household. Arthur left behind him a twin brother, whose presence in the family will do much to fill an aching void. [From The Rossville Times, Friday, June 17, 1892] | |

| 6844 |  | Obituary- Keller, Lindsay 3 In memory of Dad, Lindsay V. Keller FOR THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME When I am gone, release me, let me go ... I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many beautiful years, I gave to you my love. You can only guess How much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve for me a while if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your hearts. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near ... And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear .. . All my love around you soft and clear. And then when you must come this way alone I'll greet you with a smile, and say ... "Welcome Home | |
