Eugene R. Sollers, son of George L. and Marina Sollers, was born near Berlin, Oklahoma, November 25, 1906 and died at his home near Plainview, Texas, July 31, 1928.
He was converted at the age of 18 and united with the Missionary Baptist church at Aiken, Texas.
He leaves to mourn his death, five brothers and four sisters, one sister Eunice, preceding him August 16, 1923.
Funeral services were held at the Berlin Methodist church, conducted by Rev. H. Woodward. The host of friends in attendance, and also the large floral offerings presented by his friends at Plainview and Berlin, attested their love for him.
He was buried in the Berlin cemetery to await resurrection.
For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. - - I Thessalonians 4:16.
Remember now thy Creator in the days of they youth, while the evil days come not, now the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say I have no pleasure in them. - - Ecclesiastes 12:1.
This admonition had been heeded by this young man, Eugene R. Sollers, for in passing away at the age of 21 years he left the testimony that he was at peace with God and ready to meet him.
He was the oldest boy and the pride and stay of the home, obedient and kind to all.
He took sick at his home in Plainview, Texas, with what developed to be typhoid, but being a strong young man, he felt he could wear it off, so scarce realized he was bed sick until about a day before he died. All was done that could be done, but to no avail. He remained conscious until the last, recognizing his sister, who came but a few minutes before he died. His testimony of the last few hours was that he was ready to meet God. He seemed to realize the fact from the first that his end had come, so we can say:
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from hence forth yea sayeth the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them. - - Revelation 14:13.
To those who are left to mourn his loss; your loss is heaven's gain and we can look forward to that great day "when the spirit of just men made perfect" shall be reunited with our glorified bodies, and we shall meet to part no more, where years and sorrow are strangers, and we shall weep and sigh no more.
