OBITUARY.
James Walker Carder first saw earthly light near Greenwood, Ind. March 15th, 1832 and doubtless beheld the heavenly light early Tuesday morning June 21st 1898.
Uncle Walk was, as we all are, peculiar in some respects. As a husband, aunt Ellen knows better than all the world, for between husband and wife there are hours, days and years that are sacred, as God intended, to the exclusion of the world we will only say that her sadness of heart and loneliness attest what she has lost.
As a father his children, Bettie and Edgar, say nothing but good and praise—the latter, in the desolate home, already misses and longs for father’s words of counsel and comfort, that daily companionship that labored and planned together in love and confidence. As Oakel the granddaughter grows older the memory of her grandfather will grow sweeter and brighter.
As a neighbor the years of his manhood record nothing but kindness and sympathy notwithstanding the little ruffles that afflict weak humanity, and old Fairview neighborhood is above an average. The universal attestation is that uncle Walk was a good neighbor, and the foundation for all we have spoken of is this he was a Christian, loved his Redeemer and was a consistent member of old Fairview Methodist church.
A Friend.
