His obituary.
Transscribed by Kathy Bowlin

18 Aug 1894--IN LOVING MEMORY OF--W. C. Terrill, who departed this life July 10,
1894, at his residence near Higbee, after a lingering illness of consumption, aged 65 years
and 6 months.
Deceased was united in marriage to Miss Susan Bagby in October 1854. Leaves a
heart broken wife and five children, one son and four daughters, all of mature age,
besides many friends and relatives to mourn his departure.
Deceased was a faithful and active member of the Church and was loved and
respected by all who knew him.
During his long illness in which at times he suffered so much, he never
complained at the providences of god. The grace and love of God which sustained him in
this life did not forsake him in his last hours. He would say to his friends that he was not
only prepared but anxious and willing to go, and from his sufferings be at rest. He died
in the triumphs of the Christian's hope of eternal life.
But while we weep and miss the dear departed we would not call him back to
suffer and die again. Love rules life and thoughts, and eternal hopes beckon him forever
to the pursuits to infinite good. Who has no treasures in heaven? What family circle has
not been broken? No empty chair? No cherished momentos? We all have felt and seen
his power. The bereaved widow and family have the sympathy and esteem of the entire
community through the loss of a dear husband and father who has gone beyond the reach
of loving hands and hearts that nursed him here. His grave is yet ours to cover with
flowers. For a few lonely years we may guard it in tears with tender care, then we will
meet him again in the happy home beyond in heaven.
Heaven is the home that awaits us beyond the grave. Heaven is ours because it is
occupied by our dead. Heaven comes nearer to us and grows more attractive as we think
of the loved ones who dwell there. Oh, for such a death so sweet! Precious in the sight
of the Lord is the death of the righteous. (poem follows).
