Sermon Notes (P)

Scripture Text:

It is appointed unto man once to die.

None doubts that death comes to all, saved or unsaved. The names of the Saved shall be called, and they shall answer: for their names are written in the lamb's book of life, when they accept Christ as their savior.

Then we must also give an account of our lives, as lived here on earth, according to the record.

Rev 14 Chapter

Suppose we were to continue life here - thru out all eternity with

all its sin, sorrow and dissapointments without relief.

But one by one, we are passing over where there is no more suffering.

Uncle Mark lived a good, clean life, and was loved by all who knew him.

But excepr a man be born again, he shall not see the kingdom of Heaven.

I had talked to him concerning these things. He confessed that it was settled long ago between him and God. His only regret was that he had failed to live a Christian life.

We shall not grieve over his going because being released from the cares of life, he is at rest.

Our Loved One's Life History (P)

Marcus McLemore was born October 10, 1867, in the county of Monroe, Tennessee. He later moved to Greenfield, Missouri, where he was married to Florence Myers in 1892. They then moved to Pryor, Oklahoma, and here his wife passed away, leaving him with three small children, the youngest, Clyde, only 8 months old. Here he took up the duties of both father and mother to the children. His mother made her home with him untill she died 18 years ago on the exact date of his death.

In 1897, he and children and their Grandmother moved to the Indian Territory and settled on a farm east of Addington. Then they moved to Addington in 1901 and

settled in the home in which he passed away.

Known and loved throughout this part of Oklahoma, he had gone through the burdens and hardships as all pioneers. He passed away among friends and loved ones after all could be done to make his going easy.

For the last years, he has made his home with his two sons, Ernest, Clyde and Clyde's wife, Jewell, who loved him as if he were her own father. There were three grandchildren in the home that he loved as his own and who loved Pa as much as their own Daddy. He leaves his daughter Hattie, Clyde, Ernest and seven grandchildren.

Flower Remembrances (P)

Uncle Mark, we know and will miss you from the home. You are loved so well but we'll not grieve o'er your going, for we know you are at rest.

Just a few short years and we will be crossing the river (The River of Death) to meet you but we won't have to cross alone, Jesus will be there to pilot us across as he did you. There you, with dear old Daddy will be there to meet us, as we cross over. Be looking for us, for we will all be there. One who love you - Ina.
