Brother Licuallen was a pioneer
of this country, having crowed the

fare of the Church even above his
own ' success. Brother Lieui 1 m
had been a Sunday School superin
tendent the greater part of the
Ume for the past 27 years.
He was
at the time of hi oVaUi a mem
ber of the beard of stewards and
also a member of the board of
trustees of this, his Church, lie
was never assuming, never seekirg
office in the (h'ireh, yet ever seaiy
to work anywhere in the Master's
vineyard. It is wonderful and also
beautiful to note that God having
found an entrance into his heart as
he stood at his anvil, would send
the summons; "Come Home" to
him.
He has been a loved and respect
ed member of the Odd Fellows
lodge of this place for 27 years,
and his fraternal brothers great'y
feel the loss.
Brother Lieuallen was a member
of a family of ten eihldren he be

call. He leaves behind seven sis
ters, two brothers, four children,
six grandchildren, four great grand
children and a host of other rel

I have not asked that rest be

have not said give me wordly

And let others reap the golden
grain;
I have not said give me joy or leis

I have not aked to be great and
honored,
Nor to mount the rounds of
earthly fame.
I have not asked that the world
applaud me,
But to shine for Hod aa a living

I have not asked to be remem

When I lowly sleep beneath the

Not at-ked with the wu that my
