Green H. Sayle

Died

Mr. Green H. Sayle, who had been very low with consumption for several months, died at his home in this place last Sunday at 1 o'clock p.m.  His funeral was preached at the Methodist church Monday evening by Rev. A. P. Payne, after which the remains were conveyed to the cemetery, followed by his grief-stricken family and a large crowd of sympathizing friends.  The deceased had long been a resident of Breckinridge, and had the confidence and respect of all who knew him.  He was converted and joined the Methodist church on the 25th of December last and died calmly and peacefully, as "one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams."  He has expressed a desire to die on Sunday, when the bright sunshine was shedding its rays over the earth, and so it was.  His last day dawned bright and clear, and while the carol of the birds enlivened the woods and all nature basked in the lovely sunshine, his spirit passed into the more glorious sunlight on the other shore.
