A short service was held at the home of Caswell Tague on Friday monring. The relatives of the deceased desire especially tot hank the members of the Waveland Baptist Church for sympathy and assistance. Joseph B. Tague, son of Caswell and Rosanna Tague, was born Dec 3, 1886 in Jefferson County, Indiana died at his late home in Westfield, ind, March 24, 1915, aged 28 years, 3 months 21 days. He was married to Diasy Baker on Nov 16, 1907. To this union was born 3 children, Randall, age 5, Helois, age 3 and Sewell, age 7 months. In the year 1908 he realized his condition without God, south a new life in Jesus Christ and was born of God. He joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church near Byron, Indiana and lived true to the doctrine of the same as long as he lived. In August 1914, he was given his first circuit in the Westfield charge. His health being poorly he was not able to preach many times while here, but we trust his devoted life will bring many souls to God. He was very patient during his affliction, and when asked how he was would always answer, with a smile, "I am better. " He was blessed of God with a sweet spirit, and was loved by the entire circuit. In death Jesus was near him, and His glory rested upon him while passing away. Why one so young and promising for God should be taken, the human mind is not able to comprehend, but we know god is too wise to make a mistake, so we trust all to Him. He leaves a loving wife, three children, a father, mother, four brothers, two sisters and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss, but our loss is his gain. In his death the church loses one of her most noble young men.
