Obituary: Rev. Thomas W. Seigler
Rev. Thos. W. Seigler died at his home near Cook's last Sunday 
afternoon, after a brief illness of typhoid fever, and the 
announcement of his death was a great shock to many of his friends 
and acquaintances.  On Monday afternoon his remains were interred in 
the Good Hope Churchyard.  Mr. Seigler was a minister of the Baptist 
Church, and highly esteemed by his friends and acquaintances, who 
deeply sympathize with the widow and five little children who are 
left to mourn his death.

A Tribute of Respect.
Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom has seen proper to remove from our 
midst our esteemed and worthy brother, Rev. T. W. Seigler, who died 
of typhoid fever on the 5th inst., aged 42 years, We feel deeply the 
loss of our brother.  He was upright in all his dealings; his walk was
in keeping with his profession; he was beloved by all who knew him.  
But, alas, he is gone; we mourn the death of our brother, but not as 
those who have no hope , for while his body rests in this cold and 
silent tomb, we know that his spirit is in the beautiful home of the 
soul where sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no 
more, and that he is now feasting on the beauties and glories of the 
better world which he delighted so to preach to his people while here 
on earth. Whereas, we, the members of this Alliance, wish to place 
upon record our appreciation and admiration of his good qualities
which marked him among men as an example worthy of emulation, 
therefore be it Resolved, 1st, That in his death the Alliance has 
lost a worthy and useful member, the church a faithful pastor, the 
community a good citizen and his family a devoted husband and father.
2nd, That a page in our minutes be inscribed to his memory.
3rd, That we deeply sympathize with his family in their sore 
bereavement and loss.
4th, That these resolutions be sent to each of the county papers for
publication and that a copy be sent to the family of our deceased 
brother.
