| Text | Finis L. McClure, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. McClure, died at the home of his parents, 4 miles southwest of Cassville, Feb. 8, 1908, at 10:20 a. m. after a brief illness from the effects of pneumonia. He was born Nov. 2, 1857, aged 50 years, 3 months and 6 days. He was converted when about 18 years of age. Thus Bro. McClure compiled with this Savior's teaching wherein He teaches to "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness an all these things shall be added to you." He united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and lived a faithful Christian life, until the congregation was dissolved. Notwithstanding his dissolution of the congregation, he never ceased to exercise faith in God. Bro. Finis McClure was a good citizen and a kind hearted neighbor, always ready to lend a helping hand to all who were in need. He leaves behind to mourn his loss an aged father and mother and a number of brothers and sisters. But their loss is his gain for he is now at rest. The funeral was conducted at the residence of his father, Sunday, Feb. 9, by Rev. A. K. Gurley in the presence of a large number of relatives and numerous friends. His body was laid to rest in the Washburn Cemetery. A Friend. |
