EAGLE SPRINGS - William Domas
'Bill' Brewer, 72, of Eagle Springs, passed away on Aug. 30, 2012. He was born in Newport News, Va., on Sept. 14, 1939. He graduated from Newport News High School in 1957; the Norfolk College of William and Mary (now Old Dominion University) in 1962; and received an M.A. degree from the University of Virginia in 1968. He served four years in the United States Air Force, including 16 months in Vietnam. He retired from the Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, where he taught eighth grade English for 22 years. He retired to a farm in Moore County, N.C., that goes back to a great-great grandfather. Interested in the history of the county, and that of his ancestors, he served for six years on the Board of the Moore County Historical Association, and was active with the Friends of the Bryant House. He was preceded in death by his parents, Aaron Domas Brewer and Foy Deaton Brewer, both originally from Moore County; and is survived by two sisters, Carol Johnson, of Eagle Springs, N.C., and Barbara Dowaliby, of Norfolk, Va. |

August 31, 2012, 9:24 PM My heart goes out to Bill's family. My mom and I worked with him in the Friends of the Bryant House. He was a gifted historian and worked hard to make it interesting for others. He was a wonderful person and will be missed greatly. -Debbie Williams ~ Deborah Wilson Williams September 01, 2012

Carol, Dorothy and I were
shocked and saddened to hear about Bill. I have a lot of fond
memories of him from NNHS, especially band and enjoyed so much
talking with him at our class picnics. We will keep you and your
sister in our prayers and ask the Lord to give you peace.

Onward Christian Soldiers
Words by Sabine
Baring Gould in Church Times, 1865
Music (St. Gertrude) by Arthur S. Sullivan, 1871
Onward Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banner go!
Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
2. At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell's foundation quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!
Chorus:
3. Like a mighty army
Moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
Chorus:
4. Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and Honor,
Unto Christ the King;
This thro' countless ages
Men and angels sing.
Chorus:
