Bio

Payette Enterprise Thursday, November 11, 1920 RECEIVES HIS FINAL SUMMONS OBITUARY OF F. M. POWELL "After the burden and heat of the day. The starry calm of night. After the rough and toilsome way, A sleep in the robes of white, O sweet is the slumber wherewith the King Hath called the weary to rest. For sleeping they hear the angels sing; they lean on the Master's breast." How fitting these words in memory of one who served his day and generation well. He was born in Missouri March 19, 1857, and departed this life at his home on Sixth Street, Nov. 4, 1920. His age, therefore, was 63 years, 7 months and 15 days. No age is immune to the attack of death and death never waits for our revelation to make its abode. In Missouri, at an early age, he was converted and was a member of an M.E. church there. Upon moving to Payette, he chose the Church of God and was a consistent Christian. So close was his walk with the Master - that as others looked upon him they saw Christ. In the year 1887 he was married to Miss Huffman and this union was blessed with four sons all living. They are: William of Portland; David of Pocatello; Tillsman of Payette; and Alex in California. His wife died in 1904 and in 1906 he was again happily married to Mrs. Mills of Payette. All these loved ones a sister, Mrs. Keele of Payette, and many relatives and friends live to mourn their loss. But they sorrow not as those who have no hope. His earthly tabernacle has been laid away but the Spirit has gone to God where the "many mansions be." We shall meet beyond the river is the peculiar hope of the Christian. Now another faithful member of the Payette church is gone. As one by one these old soldiers of the cross pass on we wonder, "Who will take their places?" He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Funeral services at the Church of God conducted by his Pastor, Rev. A. E. Houser, who spoke from Rev. 14:13. Interment in Payette cemetery.(Transcribed by C. Hanson and posted with permission)
