The Fathers of Judge and Mrs. MATTHEWS Die In Texas
H. W. MATTHEWS, father of Judge W. H. MATTHEWS of Guinnbdied near Itasca, Tex. on October 1, 1895. Mr. MATTHEWS was a citizenn of this county for many years, and has many friends here who will morn
his demise. He was very highly respected by this people as an evidence of which he held official station by their voluntary suffrage. Judge MATTHEWS’ many friends heartily sympathize with him in his irreparable loss.
Mr. PINKNEY BISHOP, father of Mrs. Judge W. H. MATTHEWS of Guin, died near Mineola, Texas, October 9th 1895. Mr. BISHOP was once a citizen of this county and had many friends who heartily join Mrs. MATTHEWS in mourning for the loss of her beloved father. “Troubles seldom come single,” is an adage that proved sadly true in this instance. Judge and Mrs. MATTHEWS were both made orphans in less than ten days. How sad! Neither were privileged to be at the couch of their beloved parent during their last hours on earth to bid them a last farewell, and received their parting blessing. How sad! We extend condolence and heartfelt sympathy to our friends in this their most sad bereavement. Our friends are not left without hope. They know that their Redeemer liveth! That although they can gaze upon the faces of their beloved parents never again on earth they can and will meet them in the a better world, where the righteous cease
from trouble and the weary are at rest, and where parting will be known no more forever.--
