OBITUARY
Died, near Monticello, Arkansas, August 27th, 1868 [sic], Dr. R.T. Lively in the 45th year [sic] of his age,
Death has again visited our family and taken from us all the one to whom we looked for protection.  Although separated from us, we look forward with happy hearts to the time when he would come again; but alas! we have seen that beloved face for the last time.  His death has left us orphans, indeed.  Motherless and fatherless in this world, we can only look for protection to Him who has promised not to forget the widow and the orphan.  Though earthly friends should desert us, that God who is infinite in mercy will yet comfort and sustain through all our troubles 

Pa, thou hast gone to the grave but we will not deplore thee
Whose God was thy ransom, thy guardian and guide;
He gave thee, he took thee, and he will restore thee;
Death has no sting, for the Savior has died.
