The funeral service was held at the Akron M.E. church conducted by Rev. N. L. LORD, aided by Rev. A. M. WORK. There was present a large concourse of people, who manifested much interest and sympathy. The interment was in Odd Fellows cemetery, Rochester. The deceased had been at the age of eight months afflicted with cerebra-spinal meningitis, which resulted in leaving him a deaf and dumb mute. He lacked only two years of graduating at the Deaf and dumb asylum at Indianapolis. He was regarded as a brilliant pupil in that institution. His last illness was a peculiar case of consumption, resulting from scrofulous affliction. Thomas was a true child of the Covenant, having been wonderfully impressed with a knowledge of his duty to his Lord and Master in very early youth. Thus he spent almost the whole of his brief life in the Master's vineyard. Living in sacred nearness to God, he could see the divine goodness in his afflictions, and realize that while he was in a degree robbed of material pleasures, he was far more exceedingly helped in the perception of the spiritual. Living close to Christ he became more like him. His love and faith in God had no bounds. His contemplations of Heaven were of the sweetest nature, regarding it as God's throne. With earth he found no fault, regarding it as God's footstool. Thus he lived. During his last affliction, of nearly five months, he evinced a most noble Christian spirit, manly patience, long-suffering and unflinching faith in Christ. He had faith in prayer like the examples recorded in Holy Writ. He thought that the prayer of faith shall heal the sick. He sent for Christians to come and pray with him. He had great faith in the "Faith Hospitals," and desired to go first to Boston, and afterward learning of one being at Columbus, Ohio, desired to be taken there. Yet though he desired to live and serve God on earth, he was perfectly submissive, and died as he had lived, contented in Christ, seeming too pure to stay longer here.
