IN MEMORIAM of DR. R.T. REID
Dr. R.T. Reid departed this life at his home in Edwardsville, Ala., August 13, 1906 after a brief illness of a few days. A devoted wife, six children, three sons and three daughters, and a large circle of relatives and a host of friends mourn his departure. The doctor was born in Cleburne County on October 2, 1843 in which county he spent the greater part of his life. When the civil war broke out he was in the very prime of early manhood. Responding to the call of his country for volunteers he went to the forefront of battle where he remained during those years of strife and carnage, suffering his full share of camp life, privations and battlefield hardships. Returning home after the war had ended up he took up the study and practice of his chosen profession in which he soon established and ever maintained a reputation as a kind hearted and successful practitioner. He was a natural born physician. Coupled with an ardent love for his profession was a strong sympathy for suffering humanity; hence wherever he was called night or day without regard to distance, inclement weather, financial remuneration or his own physical condition, he promptly and cheerfully responded with all his powers and qualities of ministration. Toil, exposure and anxiety incident to a large and widely dispersed rural practice in time began toll on his robust and powerful constitution; and for the past year or more he had been a victim of an annoying and painful physical ailment for which he had undergone two surgical operations. Complications in his case having recently arisen, it became evident that his days were almost numbered and to those who were nearest his bedside and who kept the latest vigil, were not much surprised when on Monday evening as the sun was dropping low toward the western hills, that he, like a careworn and weary toiler fully conscious of the approach of the evening hour, and perfectly reconciled to the thought, deliberately laid down his implements of earthly toil, and with placid countenance and folded arms, closed his tired eyes and fell asleep to wait the dawning hour of eternity's glad morning, while his soul, born on pinions bright, winged its way to that bright haven "where the wicked cease from trouble and the weary ones forever rest."
In early life, Dr. Reid was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church, remaining an ardent friend and faithful supporter of the same up to the time of his death. For many years he has been a worthy, faithful, acceptable member of the Masonic order. He has always taken an active interest in all educational and religious works as well as all other public enterprises that had for their purpose the betterment of the community and the uplift of the people. He was laid to rest with proper Masonic honors by his own lodge, assisted by members from the Heflin Lodge. Therefore, be it resolved that:
First, that it is the sense of our lodge that in the dispensation of providence the community has lost a valued citizen, his wife a tender and devoted companion; his children an affectionate and loving father; the cause of education and religion a loyal champion; and the Masonic fraternity an exemplary and faithful member. Peace to his ashes.
Second, that we do hereby tender his beloved wife and children our sincere expression of deepest sympathy in their time of sadness and bereavement and tenderly point them to him who hath promised to be a "husband to the widow" and a "father to the fatherless" and gently remind them that he who permits these bitter experiences to come into our lives is too wise to err and too good to do us any wrong; and we do humbly pray that he may speedily bind up the broken hearts now torn and bleeding, and drive away the clouds of sadness and gloom that hover like a dark mantle over their home, by the sunlight of faith and trust and hope.
