But seldom in the history of Rainsboro has such gloom spread over the village as on Monday morning, August 29th, when the sad intelligence was circulated that Anthony W. Redkey was dead. Only Saturday morning he was on our streets apparently in usual health, and when on Sabbath he was absent from the Sunday-school and church service and was reported sick, no one supposed that he was dangerously ill ; and even on Monday morning his case was not specially alarming until about 8 o'clock, when he grew suddenly worse and died one-half hour later. Mr. Redkey was born December 15th, 1821, near this village, and his whole life has been identified with the interests of this community. And while many of the companions of his childhood and the play-fellows of his youth, and even the friends of riper years, have passed away, those that remain are ready to bear testimony to his integrity, industry, promptness in business and moral worth as a citizen during all these years. On November 29, 1849, he was united in marriage with Miss Ellen Taylor, in whom he found a worthy helpmate and who, with the two daughters, Mrs. Lizzie Brown and Miss Delia Redkey, are left to mourn their irreparable loss. About 42 years ago he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and soon after took rank as one of her most liberal and cheerful supporters. He was true to all her interests and prompt in meeting the obligations laid upon him. He served the church in official capacities, and no cause was allowed to suffer in his bands. He loved the Sunday-school, and was one of her most efficient teachers. He will be greatly missed as a citizen of this community, missed in the Sunday-school and church services, but he will be most sadly missed in the sacred precincts of home, where he ruled with such affectionate tenderness as to merit and command the respect and love so fondly lavished upon him by his wife and daughters. When death came he was ready. After the fatal stroke was upon him and the tongue already palsied, his faithful wife asked him, "Do you know me? Do you know Jesus ? Is it all well?" and to each question he smiled and unhesitatingly nodded assent. Funeral services will be held at the family residence tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, in charge of Rev. J. I. Taggart, after which the remains will be taken to the Hillsboro cemetery for interment. Submitted by DKT, 11 Jan. 2014
