Lexington Fork
----------- Death
of Mr. J. W. B. Lever, a Good Citizen, Dangerous Highways Special to The State White Rock, Feb 10- Yesterday Mr. J. W. B. Lever died near Peak. He lacked only a little being 82 years old. During his lifetime he had accumulated quite a competency, and was liberal—altogether one of our very best and most substantial citizens. He is to be buried tomorrow in the cemetery of Capers’ Chapel church, a church erected almost entirely by him as a memorial to his son Capers, who died quite a while ago. The Rev. B.C. Ballentine, pastor of the Bethel pastorate was taken completely by surprise the other day. His members of Mr. Hermon Evangelical Lutheran church, Peak, shipped to his address a handsome roll top office desk of solid oak. Our roads are in desperate condition. One of our mill men at Chapin recently had to dig one of his mules out of a place in the road with shovel and pick. There has been an epidemic of grippe in this community. Some of our schools had to suspend. If signs count, people will use commercial fertilizers heavily during the present year. (J. W. B. Lever died in 1903)

Miss Leila Baker
Leila, daughter of Mr. And Mrs. J. A. Baker, was born in Newberry county about 17 years ago. When about 14 years old she joined the Bethel Baptist church and made a public profession of Christ. She left 3 brothers and one sister and a devoted father and mother to mourn her departure, and with such pleasant surroundings, her life bid fair to the short but happy, but just when prospects’ were most flattered, God sent his messenger- death- and called her to her upper and better home. She was a loving daughter and sister and by her honesty, faithfulness, and piety, she soon won for herself and enviable reputation. Her life was adorned by many traits that go to make up a true and faithful girl. Dear Leila was an affectionate girl, to my mind she was one of our noblest young ladies. Just three weeks before, her dear little sister Carrie was laid to rest, and it is heart breaking to think how she requested her dear father to put her away with much care and to see that everything was ‘to its place’. May a kind father and mother sustain. It is so har to think during her illnesss how she begged so tenderly for just one ‘crumb of bread’ as her disease would not allow a strong diet. She
has there one precious sister, Who
went on a while before And
with Carried and her dear ones, She
awaits us on that shore. Will
the others God has given, Be
as true as these have been, If
so all will surely enter, And
united be again. Yet
we hope again to meet them, When
the day of life is fled, And
in heaven with joy to greet them, Where
no more farewell tears are shed. When
we asunder part, It
gives us inward pain, But
we will still be pained in heart, And
hope to meet again. By her Best Friend and Mate,
Lula
Morris
It has become our painful duty to write the obituary of our beloved brother, J.W.B. Long. He departed this life on the 20th of March 1860, at the residence of his uncle, in Newberry District, S.C. His age was 17 years, 5 months, and 10 days. He was baptized into the fellowship of Bethel Baptist Church, in Newberry, District, by Eld. A.W. Asbill, on the 30th of July 1857. His disease was typhoid pneumonia; it lasted 17 days. He said several times during his sickness he was Going to leave all and go to heaven. He appeared to be sensible that death was fast approaching. What a triumph of faith and grace did that deathbed scene present. A few hours before he expired, he called his afflicted and affectionate mother and grand-mother to his bedside, and exhorted one and all to take warning, earnestly entreating all impenitent friends around him to come to Christ, and prepare for death and the solemnities of eternity without delay, urging them to meet him in heaven. With a faith that wavered not, and with a countenance calm and composed, he gently breathed his last, without a groan or struggle. "He sleeps in Jesus blessed sleep, from which none ever wake to weep." May
we all heed the warning coming thus from dying lips, and never forget his last
words of entreaty, that we, too, may die the death of the righteous. He is gone in his beauty In silence to rest, Like snow-drops are folded, His hand son his breast. He likes like a statue, Of some Grecian art, With cheeks that are pallid, And a cold hush'd heart. A smile is still resting Upon his sweet face, As if angels had touched it With holier
grace.

On
Sunday morning, August 18th, at eight o’clock, the death angel
claimed Mrs. Louise Cameron after an illness of two weeks, although she had been
in failing health for the past year. All that medical skill and willing hands of
loved ones could do could not stay the hand of death.

and 6 days.
In
1886 she was married to Mr. John Cameron, he having preceded her years ago. Unto
this union were born nine children of which the two oldest already answered
their summons, ‘come home’.
To
know Mrs. Cameron was to love her as she was a kind, loving sister and a good
neighbor and friend to all, greeting everyone with whom she came in contact with
kind words and loving smiles.
In
early life she joined the Baptist Church of which she was a loyal member until
death.
The
funeral service was at the house, conducted by Rec. Marlow, her pastor being
away at the time of her death. The body was then laid to rest at Rosemont where
a large crowd of friends and relative paid the last respects to her.
She
is survived by on sister, Mrs. T. M. Mills; two brothers Messrs. Will and Brady
Long, all of Prosperity. This children that survive her are as follows: Mrs.
John Lattimore, Mrs. Grady Reid, Miss Myrtle Cameron, Messrs. Glover, Ollie,
Moody, and Clyde Cameron.
Our
heart goes out in deep sympathy for the loved ones left to mourn her death. But
let’s not think of her as dead, but only sleeping.
Asleep
in Jesus, blessed sleep
From
which none ever wake to weep;
A
calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken
by the last of foes.
Asleep
in Jesus, peaceful rest,
Who’s
making is supremely blest!
No
fear, no woe shall dim that hour
That
manifests the Savior’s pow’r.
Thy
kindred and their graves may be.
But
thine is still a blessed sleep,
From
which none ever wakes to weep.
