Charles N. LeSueur was born
in Holly Springs, Miss., March
31, 18.r>9, came to Texas in .Jan-
uary 18%, married Miss Eva
T. Hill, daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. A. M. Hill of Hill's Prairie,
August 5. 1900. Two days after
his marriage, he was converted
and joined the Methodist Church
to which church he remained
ever loyal ant) true, contributing
liberally to its support, both fi-
nancially and in attendance upon
its institutions.
His beloved mother died June
5, 1908, seven weeks before his
death. His wife and two children
Wyiie Hill LeSueur and Elizabeth
Hill LeSueur. survive him, and
only God can understand what
this bereavement is to them, for
He alone could fathom the deep
tenderness with which the hus-
band and father loved his family.
Indeed, he seemed to love them
with almost an idolatrous love
and in all his suffering he was
ever expressing his devotion and
his solicitude for them. Although
he was in ill health for many
months, yet he bore his great
suffering with stoical fortitude
attending to the business of every
new day with an energy and fi-
delity that was phenomenal. As
a personal character he won all
hearts; for his own heart was
warm as summer sunshine, and
there was always in his very
presence, the charm of a loving,
gracious spirit. At the same
time he was a man among men,
doing the work of a man, always
revealing himself as a man of
force, a man of earnestness, a
man of chai ity, a man of sym-
pathy, joining himself to his ac-
quaintances and associates with
nivincible ties of friendship and
goodwill, which grew stronger
' with the years, and are now ce-
i mented in loving recollections,
and holy memories. He was a
I man of deep religious convictions,
j of sound and reverent faith in
God. and was promptly and
j punctually responsive to the calls
of his church, attending Sunday
school, praying in public and
; discharging whatever devolved
upon him as a christian. His
tavorite hymn was "Every Day
and Every Hour", and those who
were with him every day recall
his often humming the first line:
"Saviour more than lift: to me!"
' About two weeks before his death
he and his wife dedicated the
two little chiidten to God in
baptism, and the act seems
fraught with a deeper holiness
when we realize how soon he was
to leave the darlings and go to
his bather. He died at peace
with the world and at peace with
God, but many hearts are aching
because he is gone. From first
to last he was a tireless worker,
and whatever of success he won.
was not accident, but the well
earned result of toil, of courage,
of determination, of perseverance
of industry. Full of resources,
he thought for himself, acted for
himself, carefully considering
every detail of his plans and then j
pushing forward boldly and skil-
fully toward their accomplish-
ment.
But while his life illustrated
these many good qualities, to
stimulate worthy ambitions to
thrive, to achieve, to excel; and
while he will be missed in the
community yet he was at his
best in the sacred precincts of
home. There a desolation akin
to despair settles like a pall over
the fair light of these summer 1
days, and it seems hard, that so
much of human courage, of in-
tense energy, of untiring indus-
try, of chivalric goodness, should
pass out and leave a void so dark.
Amid our tears and heart-ache
we obey the holiest impulse of
our natures when we thus humbly
and sincerely contemplate these
profoundestj mysteries: Evil in
Life, and the mystery of Death
at the end of our earthly lives.
As we lay this tribute of love up-
on his new made grave, and turn
away, we can but recall how full
of life he was, and it seems a
strange thing to connect with
him a thought of death. Thank
God for a faith that reveals him
as grandly alive, now and always
never movelessly dead. So we
rejoice to feel that a glorious
morning shall dawn up on the
night in which he sleeps. The
duties and obligations of life are
greater than life itself and "de-
votion to duty is the noblest im-
pulse that < ;in inspire the human
heart." As he clung so tena-
ciously to life's duties and showed
in every thing his great solici-
tude for his wife and babes,
the soft light of home brought
out the tint: and hues of Heaven
itself, and hop* gives a foretaste
of a reunion where they will be
together at Home forever. Im-
pressive funeral services were

conducted at tho family burying
ground, in Hill's Prairie, by Rev.
Joe Webb, pastor of the Bastrop
Methodist Church, at 5 o'clock,
Auvrust 6th, 1908.
The large congregation which
listened to the eloquent funeral
sermon was itself a tribute; for
men and women from all the
walks of life assembled about
that open grave. Not only his
friends and associates, but his
farm hands, mexlcans, negroes,
all were there to do him honor,
and it will doubtless be a heritage
dear to his widow and babes, to
recall how he was loved by all
and how he is mourned by all.
May the noble wife as she
stands in this pitiless storm of
sorrow realize the blessed truth,
that God is God even over the
winds and waves. May she
hear his sweet voice, saying,
"Peace be still!", to her desolate
heart. May she know that he is
walking on the billows, saying
unto her, "It is I, be not afraid,
and "Lo. I am with you always,
even unto the end of the world."
