In Memoriam
By J.E.H.
Died, at Longview, Texas, June 27, 1889 after an illness of twenty days, of typoid fever, Davis Beaureguard Cloud. Aged twenty seven. The subject of this sketch was born at Dallas, Webster, Co., Mo. and came to Texas with this father's family when a child. In his early youth he was converted, and united with the M.E. Church, of which he remained a member until his death. He was also a member of the M.E. sabbath school, which he attended regularly when at home. When but nineteen he was married to Miss Lula Rogers of Collin County, Texas. It was a matter of deep regret to those who attended his last moments, that he never spoke of dying. Being irrational the greater part of the time, and when conscious the physicians in attendance, forbid the mention of any subject of exciting nature. He was an affectionate husband, a devoted father and loving brother. His was a warm and genial nature, and he had hosts of friends. He had been employed by the T.P. Rail Road Co. as conductor, for several years before his death. He leaves a wife and two small children, three brothers, three sisters and an aged father; whose hearts are aching sadly for the life cut down in the prime of manhood. How much his bright and cheering presence, which has so often gladdened our home, shall be missed, no one can tell; but those who have tasted of marahs bitter waters, and seen the dear face of a loved one, shut in from mortal sight, by the cruel coffin lid. There is a rent in the family circle, a link gone from out our lives. The kindly, sympathetic, voice we shall hear on earth no more. The warm passionate heart has stilled its tumultuous throbbing forever. But we trust his immortal spirit has found peace and rest, in the fadeless fields of heaven.
