Obituary- Nason, James

Obituary.
Died, Wednesday, June 17th, 1891, James Nason, aged 64.

Funeral services were held at the house on Thursday afternoon. The discourse was given by the Rev. F.S. Allman, who took for his text Isaiah XXXIII:17: "Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is very far off." He spoke of Christ in his days of humiliation and of the Christian during his pilgrimage, pointing out the fact that the toilsome road, wearisome as it may be, is a Royal road, leading to the New Jerusalem, where the King will be seen in his beauty. He testified to the Christian character of the deceased, and of the pious resignation that possessed him as his feet touched Jordan's brink. He told of the fervent manner in which the dying man grasped his hand last Sunday and assured him that he had no regret and no despair, though certain that his departure was at hand.

Mr. Nason was one of those men who do great good in the world. While frugal, industrious, and wise in the management of his temporal affairs, he kept before him, both in thought and action, the weighty things of eternity, thereby occupying the full sphere which God arranged for man.

The funeral procession was a very large one.

The pall bearers were: W.G. Gilbert, B. Swearingen, Daniel Wilt, T.J. Cox, Henry Miller, Geo. A. Weller.
