OBITUARY.
Francis Marion Cockrell.
Francis Marion Cockrell departed this life at his home on Flint Creek, Delaware County, Oklahoma, on the 8th day of August, 1910, surrounded by his bereaved family and many sorrowing friends. His body was laid to rest in the little country church yard by loving hands, there to await the Resurrection Morn, when all the hosts of earth will arise to receive the reward for their life's work, whether it be good or whether it be evil.
The subject of this sketch was born in Clay County, Illinois, on the 30th day of June, 1842. His parents moved thence to Missouri when he was yet a young boy, where he grew up to manhood.
He enlisted in Co. "E," Missouri Volunteers, on the 28th day of March, 1862, and was honorably discharged on March the 29th, 1865, having three years and one day in the service of his country. As a soldier he was ever at the post of duty and fearless in the discharge thereof.
A truer man and braver soldier was not in all the Union army, and a more honorable Citizen, a better Neighbor and a kinder Husband and Father was not in the whole Country.
His friendship knew no politics; his religion knew the whole human family as brothers and sisters. No time was so precious, no business so urgent that he could not render assistance to friends—and all suffering humanity were friends.
No one was ever more ready to assist the unfortunate, whether from sheer hard luck, from careless management or from dire misfortune, than was the subject of this sketch. Life to him was to do what good he could and wherever it was needed. The shadow of success that crowned the efforts of others was a constant source of pleasure to him and wreathed his face with a happy smile and brought a sincere congratulation from his honest heart.
"Live for your neighbor as well as for yourself," was the view he took of the duty a man owes to the world, and he lived up to his convictions.
Grim Death, of grisly form and tireless wing, through all the lovely spring time floated above the little valley where nestled the pleasant home of the deceased and his family, and each time the grim monster folded his ebon wings and swooped down mercilessly on a victim, he claimed some member of the family. Thus twice did the ruthless phantom visit the pleasant home and take a precious member.
Then again, with tireless wing and relentless purpose the dread visitor hovered above and around the bedside of the stricken veteran for weary days and weeks, grasping at the vital spark that flickered feebly in the Veteran Soldier's breast; but, like the soldier he was, he fought the enemy, death, until from sheer exhaustion he sank into a quiet repose and his freed spirit sped its way through the trackless ether to the God who gave it, and the tired hands, folded across the peaceful breast of the wearied veteran proclaim that "Life here was no more."
He was carefully nursed and attended through all his week of sickness by the noble band of brothers, who know their duty and never neglect it, and who has been a God-send to so many of suffering humanity, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
This grand order took charge of this deceased brother and at the grave performed the beautiful and impressive ceremonies of their blessed and humane order, and the old soldier's tired body was laid to rest in peace, sweet peace.
