Fraley,

Spirit of Democracy,
Early
Sunday morning,
It is with
sadness and our eyes beclouded with tears that we write these lines to the
memory of our dear sister. With closing weeks, came patient resignation, and
ardent longing that she might be taken home. Like a tired child, with
outstretched arms to its mother, so our sister prayed to the Lord to take her
home. Loving hands did all they could to alleviate her suffering, prayers
ascended in her behalf that she might be restored to health again, but no
physicians had power to retain the spirit, and the spirit took its’
flight from the tired, weary, earthy home to the home
eternal at God’s right hand in Heaven. She has gone out from the home never to
return again, leaving a vacant chair that can never be filled. Brother Fraley
has lost a kind, affectionate and loving wife; the daughter and boys have lost
a good and sainted mother; the church has lost a good and faithful member, and
she had greatly endeared herself to the church as she was always faithful and
loved the house of the Lord. She obeyed the gospel and was baptized at the age
of 16 years, thus becoming a member of the
She leaves
behind husband, daughter, four sons, and a host of friends who mourn her
departure.
The
funeral services were conducted at the church by her pastor, Rev. Ferd F.
Schultz, assisted by Rev. Harry Scott, pastor of M.E. church. The body was laid
to rest in the beautiful village cemetery.
She
is sleeping calmly sleeping,
In a new made grave today;
We
are weeply sadly weeping,
For our sister gone away.
One
by one the gentle Savior
Gathers loved ones from the home,
Folds
them to his loving bosom,
With a tenderness untold.
.
She
is waiting ever waiting,
For the friends she loved the best,
And
she’ll gladly hail their coming
To the mansions of the blest.
One
by one the Lord will call us
As our labor here is done,
And
then as we cross the river,
We may meet her, one by one.
.
Then
Good-bye, may we prove faithful
Follow Christ, as you have done,
Take
the cross and follow Jesus,
And at last the crown is won.
One
by one go home to Heaven,
Where the weary are at rest,
Walk
about the gold paved city,
Praising God we’re with the blest.

Fulton,
William Myers Fulton
Spirit of Democracy,
William
Myers Fulton died at his home near Woodsfield,
He leaves
a wife, four sons and five daughters to mourn his departure.
In the
life of a kind and affectionate husband and father, they have the consoling
memory of a godly character and of a Christian example to bind them to their
father’s God.
Early in
youth, Mr. Fulton gave his attention to the means of grace, and became a member
of Pleasant ridge church for which he had a particular and affectionate regard.
This was the church of his father and mother, who ripe in years and in
Christian faith, still survive him-his father being for many long years an
elder. Mr. Fulton was a man who loved the Gospel of Christ, and whose heart was
purified by faith, the world not being permitted to eat out the strength of his
life. Faithful in the discharge of his duties to his home, to his church, and
to the community, he showed himself a “living epistle” known and read of men.
He was conservative in opinion, but liberal and forebearing in spirit. He was
loved and respected by all who knew him. A splendid index to his character is
found in words which fell quietly from the lips of one who knew him best. As
his aged father looking tenderly, and for the last time, into the face of his
sleeping son, without intending his words should be heard, remarked: “William
was always an obedient son.” The grace of obedience lies at the base of a
well-built Christian manhood. Such characters have the promise of acceptance
with God. It is a marked loss to any community when such a life is removed from
it. It is like the taking down of a lighthouse from the coast of a raging sea;
the blotting out of a guiding star in the night. But for him, we sorrow not as
those who have no hope; for he sleeps in Jesus; and it is written, “Blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.” May the God
of all consolation, comfort, the hearts of the bereaved.

consumption, of which she herself was a victim, she bore it all with a
fortitude born of the assurance of a reunion with them where pain and sorrow

Death has

years, 1 month and 3 days, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Haga. [d. January 5, 1906]
For more
than a year she had been a victim of consumption, and for many months past it
was evident to her friends that she was nearing the close of life; yet
everything was done that human hands could do to loosen the grip that disease
had fastened upon her, but all to no avail. Though an intense sufferer she bore
her affliction with patience, and was never heard to murmur or complain.
Sadie was
a model of pure and noble womanhood; from her childhood she was known only to
be loved, being of a quiet and modest disposition. She was a member of the M.E.
church. We have the evidence that she has only gone before. He has placed her
in the portals of heaven to welcome us, as one by one our work on earth is done
and we can truly say she has reached the port of everlasting peace; and may we
like her be ready that the “Bells of heaven may ring out our coronation.” She
came to earth, filled her mission in brightening the home and has gone with her
creator.
She leaves
father, mother, little sister and two brothers who have the sympathy of the
entire community. This is the fourth daughter that has passed away within the
last few years.
She’s
gone the way we all must go;
And when the darkened waters come

meet us at the river side

of God,” she went forth to be a soldier of the cross of Christ to overcome
Satan her adversary and the world and gain the crown of righteousness which
awaits the faithful soldiers of Christ, and as far as known, she was always
found faithful though at times the struggle was hard and the way seemed rough
and steep yet she trusted in Him who has promised never to leave nor forsake
those who will follow Him and take his word for their only rule of faith and
practice. She was a loving wife, a kind mother and a faithful sister for she
was ever ready, when opoportunity presented itself, to offer her body at the
appointed place of worship,” a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God”

suffering great pain and immediately went into spasms and died in great agony
in about 30 minutes. Dr. Dearth was called, but all in vain. He stated that
death was due to heart failure. Other doctors did not arrive till after the

trouble to which we would not call him back. He has only gone on before to rest
and remain forever in the beautiful light of God. Why should we want him back
in this world when we know that all who are in this world have trials and
tribulations? He who holds the key to every grave, said: “I am the resurrection
and the Life.” He cannot come back to us but we can go to him if we do the will
