And we part no more in that happy land. A BROTHER.

EDITOR OF THE SPIRIT—In your issue of May 7, you record
the death of the Rev. George Bothwell
of
Being engaged in the practice of medicine, the accident
and treatment of Dr. Bothwell as given by the secular press attracted my
attention and enlisted my sympathy for both patient and physician. To-day
increased interest has been aroused in the case, to me, when I learned that the
Rev. George Bothwell and my schoolmate Bothwell were one and the same person.
The writer was a student with George in Woodsfield in
Woodsfield in 1866 in attendance on a select school taught by Prof. Benson
O’Neil, now a prominent architect, and a Rev. Mr. Grove, a Presbyterian
minister. It was through the kindness of a subscriber of THE SPIRIT, now a
well-to-do farmer, near Pratt in Pratt county,
I have a picture group of thirteen, of the class taken
in June 1866, as follows: George Bothwell, J. P. Flint, Thomas Twinem, James
Johnson, H. Davis, G. Burket, Hunter, Graham, Tschappat, Amos, Miller and J. E.
Minney. The other members of the class I cannot recall. Twenty-five years, one
quarter of a century, may not efface impressions on memory but they become
covered over with the accumulated debris of events and practically it amounts
to the same. I hope each member of the class has made as clean a record as
George, and as great. It is probable that he was the star. As I look at his
picture while writing it does not seem possible that the tall, slim,
smooth-faced boy of sixteen of old
I suppose a number of that class from 60 to 80 pupils
are in old Monroe yet and will recall the good times we had in the old brick
school house; will recall the evening when the resolution for debate was,
“Resolved that Napoleon was a greater general than Washington.” Mr. Stewart, a
member of the class, was president. It was open society that evening. The house
was full; citizens, pupils, preachers and lawyers were there. The other
literary exercises were over and the time for debate came. The president was
agitated. He arose and trembling said, “The subject for debate is—ladies and
gentlemen—I believe—Resolved—that Napoleon—is a greater—greater—general
than—Bonaparte.” Whoop! hurrah!
Down went the president.
Oodles of fun for awhile. The question was finally disposed of and for all
time, so far as the president was concerned.

Rinard’s Mills,

“My father,” he said, “always took me to church and sat
by my side on this same kind of bench. The bench was for adults and my little
feet did not touch the floor. My legs and feet thus suspended would soon go to
sleep and the pain was severe.

‘Where congregations ne`er
break up,
And Sabbaths never end.’
“In my heart I said if heaven is that kind of a place
I’ll never go there.”
We are among those who rejoice in the progress made in
the facilities for educating the youth, but we are not ashamed of the old log
school house and the men who were educated in it. At the time I attended school
in Woodsfield Henry West edited THE SPIRIT. Mr. Archibald, J. O. Amos, Mr.
Hunter and some of the Okey’s were leaders at the bar. One of the same family
of Okey’s was special pension examiner in

winter of 1866 and 1867. Some of the Muhlemans’ were my pupils. I boarded with Frederick Muhleman. He is now dead.
Robert, a son of his, is a successful physician in Bellaire and Henry, another
son, is in the same city, I think, a successful business man. Benson O’Neil
married one of the daughters; the other daughters (three), I do not know where
they are. Uncle Abe Mann was a prominent man in

Boughner, Michael Boughner
The Spirit of Democracy,
Died, of typhoid fever—On March 29 the death angel
visited the house of Michael Boughner, Esq., of Salem township, this county,
and too, from that happy family his youngest son, Michael, Jr.,--aged 21 years, 11 months and 3 days. As the
latest sun of that beloved young man was ascending to his zenith, the spirit of
him whose smiling face and cherished and kindly association had so often
pleased and cheered an aged father, as well as brothers and sisters,
beloved—took its flight “to Him who gave it.”
Deceased was the youngest of quite a large family of
children, and having been left when an infant not three weeks old to his father
and sisters, whose affectionate and fostering care and attentions took the
place of a mother and reared from infancy to youth, and from youth to manhood,
this beloved boy, he became the pet, as it were, of all the family. And being
the next of this family to pass to the far off beyond after a beloved wife and
dear mother, his death opened afresh a wound that nature in her work of mercy
and kindness had been striving to heal and cure. But in this bereavement there
is left no trace of that bitter sadness which “might have been.” Those who are
left behind are even comforted and cheered by his example while living, and may
with consolation mourn but not as others who have o hope.
He had even in youth thought of the uncertainity of
life and of the final approach of death—had counted on the weakness of all
human aid to rescue him and did rely on the sure promise of Him who said: “I am
the resurrection and the Life:” (Remainder
of obituary is missing.)
Boughner, Michael Boughner
The Spirit of Democracy,
As we sit tonight in deepest melancholy chronicling the
death of one of our brightest and best young men of the quiet neighborhood of
Cameron the words of Him who spake as never man did comes to mind: “Blessed are
the dead that die in the Lord; from henceforth, yea saith the Spirit, they do
rest from their labors and their works do follow them.” On the morning of the
29th , of that disease so destructive to our race, typhoid fever,
Michael Boughner, Jr., died—died in youth’s bloom with a splendid future
opening before him; on the 19th radiant with health and boyish
spirits to be stricken down on Sunday morning the 29th by death’s
angel
With
his sickle keen
Who reaps the bearded
grain at a breath,
And the flowers that grow
between.”
One solemn, impressive monosyllable expresses
it—“gone;” yes, gone to a brighter inheritance to forever remain in angelic
peace with just such flowers as the scepter of death has heretofore touched and
claimed for his own; gone, awaiting the coming of a sorrow-stricken and
disconsolate father and weeping sisters and brothers. We miss him from the
Sunday-school room; a vacant seat is left; at roll-call no answer is given to
his name; but then we have the assurance that he is present at the “general
roll call in the Redeemer’s everlasting kingdom.”
The large concourse of people who attended his remains
to the last resting place of all that is of this earth showed their respect for
the deceased and for the sorrowing family.
The funeral services were ably conducted by Judge R. K.
Walton, of Woodsfield, at the home of the deceased.
Michael Boughner, Jr., was born
Dearest brother, thou hast
left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But `tis God that has
bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.

Yet again we hope to meet
thee,
When the cares of life have fled;
Then in Heaven with joy to
greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed. J.

Mr. Dougherty was first married in 1835 to Sarah Cisne.
This proved a very happy and prosperous union but was, in 1837, broken by the
death of Mrs. Dougherty.
He was again married in 1858, to Margaret McManaman,
who lived until 1888. The deceased had been in failing health for some time
with heart failure but was not considered dangerous until about a week before
death.
He leaves to mourn his loss, ten sons, two daughters

he kept the faith,” and never forgot for a moment that we are but born to die.
The funeral took place from St. Sylvesters’ church on
Sunday, January 4th, and was conducted by Rev. Flaudung.
A large concourse of relatives and friends followed the
remains to their last resting place and showed by their actions that they had
lost a friend whom they had learned to love. Let us hope that the deceased was
a faithful soldier of that great cross by which the world was redeemed, that he
bore his little cross with that spirit to which is attached an eternal boon,
and while we here lament the departure of they servant, we may ever remember
that we are most certainly to follow him. Give us grace to prepare for that
last hour, by a good life, that we may not be surprised by a sudden death, but
be ever watching when thou shalt call, that so with thy spouse we may enter
into eternal glory, there to serve and be with Christ forever.
The friends and relatives take this means of expressing
their gratitude and appreciation of the kindness shown them, especially do they
feel thankful to the members of the Woodsfield G. A. R. Post, for their
untiring efforts during their father’s illness. Their reward is not here but in
Heaven, where all good deeds find commensurate merit. D.

became a part of the 62nd regiment.

failing health he was compelled to retire from the service.

cemetery.
Funeral services conducted by Rev. H. D. Barnhouse.
Retta had suffered patiently
since last August with that dreaded disease consumption, but while she realized
that her life was slowly ebbing away, she felt confident that she should only
lay off mortality in that better world. Through all her sufferings she was patient,
not desiring to be of trouble to any one.
Retta became a member of the
U. B. church at Rinard’s Chapel in February, 1886. She was a faithful member,
and when interrogated in behalf of her soul’s interest, she expressed herself
as “ready to go.” Her hope seemed to grow brighter near the close, and among
her last words were praises to that Friend who comes when all earthly power has
been exhausted, and smooths the pillow of the dying sufferer. The friends have
our deepest sympathy.
Her life passed away so
softly,
Like the shadows of a summer eve,
Her hopes beamed up so
brightly,
As from earth she took her leave,
That the friends who
watched beside her,
And bade the last farewell,
Felt the influence of that

Who told them “all is

accidentally shot himself. His remains were interred in the family cemetery on

Fankhauser, Addie Fankhauser
The Spirit of Democracy,
The departed, the
departed, they visit us in dreams,
They glide above our memories like shadows over
streams.
Once more the angel of death has visited our community
and taken for its prey, Miss Addie Fankhauser, daughter of Phillip and Louisa
Fankhauser of Powhatan, O., who departed this life
She leaves a father, mother, three sisters and two
brothers and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss.
Her remains were followed by a large concourse of
friends to the Evangelical cemetery on May 12, Rev. Mr. Berges conducting the
services which were very impressive. Who can tell the depth of that awful
loneliness that broods o`er the spirit of our lives when a loved one is
suddenly taken from us by the grim monster Death?
We are left in the midst of a darkness through which
the only ray of light that reaches us is a far off star, set in the sky of an
unknown futurity, and blessed is he who from the light of that star can gather
the consolation offered in the Holy Bible which says: “ For the Lord himself
shall decend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the arch angel, and
with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which
are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to
meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
When the first news of the frightful death of my dear
friend Addie reached me, it seemed almost too incredible for belief; for had I
not seen her only a few days previous, full of life and in that state of
buoyant spirits so natural to her? Could it be that never again was I to hear
that voice that had so often spoken words of cheer and friendly consolation? As
I came to realize the awful fact no words can express the depth of sorrow and
the intense feeling of desolation that swept over me. Oh! Addie, how little did
we think when last we met one singing night that it was the last time on earth.
Memory is so sick with treasured recollections of the departed that today I
seem to live over again the past and the greatest source of consolation is that
not one mean act or ignoble deed of the beloved can be recalled to darken her
memory. But many and many are the generous and noble deeds that stand out as
enduring monuments all along the pathway of Addie’s life. No one knew her but
to love her; always ready to relieve distress, she was the impersonation of all
those virtues so highly commended by a member. The “open hand” was always
extended to relieve the wants of needy; the bright smile, the cheerful laugh
were hers always; never cast down or troubled so much herself, but that she was
ready to shake off the gloom of her own surroundings to make brighter and more
cheerful the lives of her associates.
Dear Addie,
still we love thee,
Though we
see thy form no more,
For we know
you’ll surely greet us,
When we
reach the Heavenly shore.
Addie was a regular attendant at church, Sunday school
and also a member of the singing choir as her health would permit. Her place is
now vacant forever. Our hearts only grow sad when we know how bad we will miss
her. But our tears are tears of joy for we know our loss is transient and she
gains immortal bliss. Her young spirit took its flight Heavenword.
It is needless to speak more of the virtues of one so
universally loved and esteemed and I have not said only what was known and will
be subscribed to by all who knew her. I have written this not because of any
feeling of capability to do justice to the subject but because my love has
prompted me to even in this feeble manner add my testimony to the goodness and
exalted character of the deceased.
Dear Addie,
for a few days good bye;
For in a
short time we will fade and die.
But in that
fair and happy land,
Take no
more the parting hand;
True thou
wast the idol of our hearts,
And it was
hard for us to part.
But we
would not call the back again
To this
world of sin and pain,
But leave
thee in that land of rest,
Where we
forever shall be blest.

only knows, “Tis better described by the beautiful rose that blooms and fades

Death of Mrs. Anna Kinkade
KINKADE -- Anna, wife of
William Kinkade, at her home two miles north of Toulon, Tuesday, October 27,
1891, at 1:15 p.m., aged 20 years, 3 months and 25 days.
Anna E. Sorrenson [sic--Sorenson] was born in
Muskegon county, Mich. July 2, 1871.
Her parents removed to Illinois the same year, and she has resided in
this vicinity ever since. At the age of
15 she gave herself to Christ, and was received as a member of the Toulon
Baptist church December 12, 1886. The
following year--August, 1887--her mother was taken away by death. She was the oldest daughter and afterward
she took, and faithfully filled, her place as head of the family, keeping house
for her father.
She was married to William S. Kinkade on Christmas eve,
1890, and they at once moved on a farm and commenced housekeeping for
themselves. But her married life was as
short as it was happy. About harvest
time her health began visibly to fail, the result, undoubtedly, of an attack of
lagrippe from which she suffered two years ago and from which she seemed never
to have fully recovered. Early on
Tuesday morning, October 27, there was a sudden change for the worse, and at a
quarter after one she passed peacefully away.
It was for her no dreadful change, for she had another home besides the
one she had lived in on earth. She
could say, "I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is
able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day."
The funeral services were held at the Baptist church
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by her pastor, the Rev. E. W. Hicks.
"Not in dumb resignation
We lift our
hands on high;
Not like the nerveless fatalist
Content to trust and die.
Our faith springs like the eagle
Who soars to meet the sun,
And cries exulting unto thee,
O Lord, They will be done!"

She was joined in marriage to George Mallett November
17, 1878. Five children came to bless the home, three girls and two boys, all
of whom are living.
She united with the M. E. church in her 17th
year, ever afterwards remaining a true, devoted and happy Christian.
She suffered much in her last sickness, but was joyous

A vast number of friends and relatives assembled to
follow her remains to their resting place. The funeral services were conducted
by her pastor, who preached from Rev.22, 8.
She was buried in the Sutherland cemetery.
Mallett, Sarah A. Mallett
Spirit of Democracy,
Mrs. Sarah A. Mallett was born January 18, 1856; died
August 6, 1891, of pulmonary consumption. In happier hours, and when the
beauties of life lay sparkling like sunbeams in her pathway, she gave her hand
in marriage November 17, 1878 to George, second son of Miles and Margaret
Mallett of Stafford,
Five bright and happy children were born of this union;
three girls and two boys. But while the hopes and prospects of life lay
sparkling with a brilliant luster before them, and the little ones, whose
artless prattle oft has lifted the veil of gloom from about that pleasant home,
were growing to riper years, death, grim, savage, unwelcome death passed the
threshold of that happy home and clasped that mother in its cold embrace. But
long years before the life from out that clay had passed, to return no more,
her heart was fixed on Jesus, and the guiding spirit of the Holy Ghost marked
out the pathway to her eternal home. To that home her spirit has gone. And from
out her earthly home, long made cheerful by her presence there, her last
remains were borne to the old church, over whose threshold she so often passed,
where the last sad rites were performed, ere her body was consigned to the
silent tomb, and the bitter sorrow of her mourning friends wrapped in tears
that vast concourse of living beings that followed to her grave. Hers was a
noble life that sparkled for a moment like a gem and then faded before the
withering glance of death.
But death is not all sorrow to those who can look
beyond the portals of the tomb to a happy union of departed friends, and where
the blighting sorrows of time vanish before the matchless grandeur of eternal
things. While we weep with the bereaved husband and children, we rejoice that
the pangs of death may be swallowed up in hope of a crown beyond the tomb. R. H.

sustain them in this gloomy hour. May their hearts be lifted up and made to rejoice

Dear parents, let this be your consolation, that little

The following was sent out from Wheeling last week: At
Wellsburg, Miss Margaret Moore died, aged 93 years.
In some respects Miss Moore’s life was a remarkable
one. She died in the house in which she was born nearly a century ago, and was
the daughter of the first settler at Wellsburg. Immediately opposite, across
the Ohio river, was the historical Indian village of Mingo, then the
headquarters of the great chief Logan, of whom Miss Moore related many
reminiscences when a child. She was a great favorite with

Spirit of Democracy,
On Sabbath evening, December 6, as
service was commencing in the Presbyterian
church in St. Clairsville, Henry S. Morgan, a young man in his 17th
year, entered the church and while in the act of taking off his overcoat, sank
down to the floor and died in a few moments. He had been in his usual health
and had rode on horseback from his father’s house a mile and a half distant. He
was never very robust, but attended school regularly and seemed to be in good
health. A post-mortem examination revealed the fact that the heart was
seriously diseased. His sudden death cast a gloom over the whole community and
was a sad affliction to his family.

The soul is safe in heaven.

Negard, Godfrey Negard
The Spirit of Democracy,
Godfrey Negard, a well to do German lived with his
mother near Bingham, Switzer township this county. He was a bachelor of 48 and
his mother an old lady of 72 years. They lived by themselves in a rather
excluded manner and were both somewhat peculiar in their ways. Mr. Negard was
subject to fits as has been learned since his death—not known before by his
neighbors.
On Sunday morning last week, Jan. 4th Mr.
Negard took a shovel and went out to the run a short distance from the house to
clean out a place to water some stock. It is supposed that while he was at work
he took one of those fits, which as before stated he was subject to. At any
rate some time after he went out, his mother found him lying with his face in
the water, and to all appearances, dead.
There being no one to help carry him to the house she
brought out feather beds and wrapped him up in them, and procured hot bricks
and put around him. Hoping by this means to warm him up and bring him to.
She then went to her nearest neighbors for assistance.
They came and carried the apparently dead man into the house and every means
resorted to, to bring him to life, but without success. Dr. Boone, of Powhatan,
was sent for, who, after an examination, pronounced the man dead. Mrs. Negard
would not believe this, however, and declared her belief that he would come to
life again.
After keeping the body nearly two weeks she consented
to his burial on last Friday.

blessings of this life, and by his death truly can it be said that a long and
eventful life has been ended his virtues and precepts are worth striving to
emulate for as a citizen he was ever genteel and courteous at home and abroad.

grandchildren and 62 great-grandchildren living, 13 grandchildren and 3

his friends and neighbors.
Brother Starkey will be missed in the home, for he was
a kind husband and a good father. The church has lost a substantial stay, and
the country a peaceable citizen. His last illness was of short duration,
lasting from Sabbath night to Tuesday following. When first taken ill one of
his sons asked if he should go for a physician, to which he replied: “No, I am
going home.” Oh, glorious hope!
His companion is left to battle a little while longer
with cares and afflictions; yes, a little time, a few days and we too are
passed away. May each member of the family so live that they may make an
unbroken family around the throne of God.
Many friends followed the remains to the Woodsfield
cemetery, the place of interment. The funeral services were conducted by Rev.
W. G. Lemmon and Rev. R. H. Reed.

on Sunday. He lingered until Tuesday afternoon and then the end came.

Stephen, Jane Stephen nee Hague
The Spirit of Democracy,
Mrs. Jane Stephen, daughter of Mary T. Hague, was born
in Fayette county,
Was married to Mr. John Stephen,
She was converted about
fifty-eight years ago at Samuel Danford’s in a class meeting held by Julius
Rucker, and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Union Chapel in 1843.
She was an innocent, trusting, conscientious, Christian woman, noted for her
patience and kindness. One of her neighbors, who had lived beside her for
nearly half a century said to me, “It is not saying too much to say she was a
good woman.” As a Christian, she was faithful in the discharge of her
obligations and covenant vows; as a mother kind, tender, loving, painstaking;
as a neighbor, friendly and ever willing to help. In my two visits to her home,
I found her patient, trusting, ready to go, and only waiting for the boatman to
come to carry her over.
Two children remain, Mr. John Stephen and Mrs. Sarah
Twinem.
Funeral services at Union chapel, conducted by her
pastor assisited by Rev. Wm. Danford.

Stevens, Young Son Stevens
The Spirit of Democracy,
While playing in the haymow in his father’s barn the
other afternoon a young son of Louis Stevens, a farmer living two miles east of
St. Mary’s, slid down the hay to the floor below, alighting on the handle of a
pitchfork which was standing against the hay and running it into his leg just
above the knee, passing clear through the limb and coming out above the hip.
The fork handle had been broken and the end of it was very sharp. The boy will
probably die.

Thornberry, Sarah Thornberry
The Spirit of Democracy,
A shadow has fallen upon one of the happiest of
families, in the death of Mrs. Sarah Thornberry, of Beallsville, O., and our
dear mother, who passed over the river to rest in the shade of the tree of
life, at her home, March the 14th, 1891, being 61 years, 7 months
and 23 days old. She was a member of the
We feel our loss almost impossible to be born, but we
console ourselves with the thought, that after the weary march of life, she has
folded her helpful hands, and gone to be with Christ which is far better. She
always bore her suffering with patience and scarcely ever murmured or
complained. She was composed and tranquil in view of the approach of death, and
said she was ready and not afraid to die. She said we would all soon be in
Heaven; and when she was almost gone and could not speak, she lifted up her eyes
and pointed her finger heavenword.
We miss her smiles and words of love here, but we
expect to meet and greet mother yonder where so many of the dear ones of earth
have taken up their abode. She was one of the sweetest mothers on earth. I can
never forget the angle [sic-angel] look when she breathed her last and they
told us she was dead. She has been a faithful wife, a tender and loving mother
and may the memory of our sweet mother and the grace of our Lord be sufficient
for us who are mourning the loss of our mother.
She was the first of our family to cross the river. She
has left behind her husband to whom the world is so lonely now; three sons, two
daughters, and a host of friends who fondly loved her.
The funeral services were conducted by Elder J. J.
Roberts at the
She is gone! Long months
she lingered,
Wasted by disease and pain;
Vain the prayers of those
that loved her,
All the physician’s skill was vain.
.
Yes, our mother, she said
sweetly,
Do not weep my children dear;
But be good and meet your
mother,
In that heavenly land so fair.
.
Ah! Tis time o’er her
marble,
Pale and lifeless, we did weep;
Weep for her within the
church-yard;
There she sleeps a silent sleep.
.
Is she dead? Oh no, she’s
sleeping,
On the loving Savior’s breast,
The tomb contains her
worn-out casket
Angels whisper: “God knows best.”
.
Yes, `twas hard to part
with mother,
Oft we drop a silent tear;
As we gather in the
evenings,
In the room of mother dear.
.
But again we’ll meet our
mother,
Whom we’ve never ceased to love;
Meet her where there’ll be
no parting
In those brighter realms above.

Wiley, Salome Wiley
The Spirit of Democracy,
About a week before her departure her mother was called
to her bedside by the word that her daughter was dangerously ill with
inflammation of the stomach. All that medical skill and tender nursing could do
availed nothing and on the morning of June 15 she peacefully passed from among
the living and joined that innumerable host which has preceded her. Little did
we think when she left us but a short time ago, the picture of health, that she
would return a pale and lifeless corpse. Little did we think as we saw her on
the eve of her departure that the next time our eyes would rest upon her form
that it would be upon the remains of a once gay and happy girl in a burial
casket.
She leaves a mother, three brothers and a host of
friends and relatives to mourn her departure.
The consolation we offer you, bereaved ones, is, that
it is the dispensation of Him who doeth all things for the best; that all
things work together for good to them who love the Lord. To one more do we
extend our heartfelt sympathy—an affianced. Remember that she stands upon that
other shore, there to await your coming. Then shall be a meeting in which no
fear of parting shall ever exist.
