Uncle Joe was a Baptist of the old school, and was strict in his views. He has not been a well man for fifteen years and in the past few years suffered intensely from his afflictions, but bore them with great fortitude. While he did not fear death, and expressed himself as ready for the summons to go, he yet desired to remain longer with his loved ones here. Throughout his illness he received the kindest attention and best medical skill, but it availed little for the hour of his departure had come, and he passed peacefully away to the home beyond.
