Obituary Online notes for “Eb” Isaac Franklin RADER
Isaac F. Rader
The subject of this obituary was born on Feb., 8th, 1843, and died Sept. 28th, 1923, aged 80 years 7 months and 21 days. The funeral was conducted at St. James Lutheran Church by Rev. E. E. Smith, of Bristol, a former pastor of the deceased. The large assemblage of friends and neighbors attested the esteem in which Mr. Rader was held.
Practically his entire life was spent on a farm near St. James church of which church he was a regular and consistent member, having joined in his youth and remained steadfast throughout his long career.
Space forbids even a superficial enumeration of the many noble deeds of this good man, suffice it to say that it would be difficult to find any one more inclined to "Scatter seeds of kindness" in a more modest and unobtrusive way. He was the embodiment of piety, hononesty and truthfullness, having an abiding faith in the teachings and promises of his Lord and Master and was thus permitted to die the death of the rightous.
In common with many of the young men of his vicinity, he enlisted as a soldier in the union army and served his country loyally as a member of Company F Fourth Tennessee Infantry, and was mustered out with a clean record at the close of the war in 1865. He was a member of Burnside post No 8, G. A. R. and was the last Civil war veteran, but one, in the thirt civil district of Greene County.
"Oh Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread;
While glory guards with solemn
around
The bivourc of the dead."
