IN MEMORIAM
By Rev. George Sluter, A.M.
----------
THOMAS FLEMING KIRK was born on the tenth of May 1832, in Claysville, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He died in Shelbyville, Indiana, June 1st, 1873, about four o’clock in the morning. For over two years his sickness had prevented his attention to business, and for several months he had been so severely taken as to be unable to walk without assistance. To him therefore death came, not as a grim and unwelcome visitor, but very like one.
His father and mother at an early day emigrated to Indiana, and after residing sometime in Shelby county, they removed to Bloomington, the seat of the State University, in order to afford their children the superior advantages of education. Some ten years of his early youth were spent there; when, upon return to Shelbyville at the age of 21, he was united in marriage to Miss Amy Ann Johnson, May 8th, 1856. For six or seven years he lived in Morristown, engaged in the cabinet business. Upon returning to Shelbyville, he was for several years successfully in mercantile pursuits, and controlled a large amount of trade from the vicinity of his former residence.
In October, 1864, he met with an affliction that he most deeply felt in the death of his wife. She had been a professing Christian to the communion of the M. E. church. Not long after that sad event, he took upon himself the holy vows to be Christ’s in the communion that his wife had loved.
In his best years, he was noted for natural amiability and for the pleasantness and agreeableness of his manners, while his conversation was lit up with sallies of wit. As a businessman, and in all his more public relations to the world, there is but one voice, the uniform testimony that he was a sincere, honest and an upright man.
During his long and tedious illness there was "No languor, peevishness, or vain complaint." He was surrounded by those who loved him-a widowed mother, a kind brother, a devoted sister, his own dutiful children, and a large circle of relatives and friends. They who were about him did not fail.
It is a very great satisfaction always to those who survive to be able to feel that there is no shadow upon the memory of our precious dead. This is our happiness in the present case. No one can charge Thomas Fleming Kirk with dishonor.
But more there is mourning in this bereaved household, but not the mourning that is without hope. We have a hope, a good hope through grace. It is the hope that true Christians only can have. We believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again. We believe that Thomas F. Kirk had faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore we do not mourn as those without hope, for we know those who sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him. Jesus saith "Thy brother shall rise again."
