| Text | Thursday morning, Jasper N. Sallee residing 2 or 3 miles northeast of Exeter, seen out on his farm and his son Charlie saw him stoop down but never saw him straighten up; he went to his father and found him struggling but unconscious from which he never recovered. He was conveyed to the family residence and a doctor was summoned by phone, but nothing could be done, and in an hour his spirit had gone to his Maker. He was born on the old Timothy Truelove farm now owned by W.R. Thompson, near Washburn, and was about 53 years of age. In 1872, he married Miss Eliza Stephens who died in 1880, leaving one son, Walter. In 1883, he wedded Miss Margaret Duncan, who survives him, to them were born one son Charles. He was a member of the concord C. P. Church, and Rev. C. M. Smith conducted the services at that church yesterday, Friday, April 2, after which the remains were laid to rest there. He left one brother Thomas and one sister Miss Lizzie Sallee. Jasper Sallee was an honest man, and had the confidence and respect of his many acquaintances. Well may his children cherish his memory as a precious legacy and we fain but say a word of comfort to the stricken ones, we can but let the years flow in sympathy with theirs, and paint them to the promise. "An eventide it shall be light." |
