She leaves to mourn her loss
a husband, five children, six grandchildren, four brothers, and one sister and
a host of relatives and friends. She had been afflicted for a number of years,
yet she bore all her sickness patiently never murmuring or complaining. Every
thing that human hands could do was done for her by the family and the

Central Point, July 22 -- Edward C. Faber, 67, long time
merchant and resident of this community and progressive leader in civic
affairs, passed away at his home here early this morning. Death resulted from a heart attack.

Frank, Caroline Frank (nee
Brubach)

of Democracy, a Woodsfield newspaper:
Caroline
Frank (nee Brubach) the subject of this sketch, was born in Rumbach, Bavaria
Province in Germany, May 4th, 1830, and died near Miltonsburg, Monroe county,
Ohio at 2:30 O'clock, Tuesday afternoon, February 27, 1912, being at the time
of her death 81 years, 9 months and 23 days old.
She came to this country with her parents at the age of 10
years and their place of settlement was in Summit township, Monroe county. Miss Caroline Brubach was confirmed in the
old St. Peter's Evangelical church of near Miltonsburg at an early age and
endeavored to live according to that faith until claimed by death. On the 23rd day of August, 1851, Caroline
Brubach and Oscar Frank were united in marriage and moved south to Lewisville
and to this union were born ten children, 3 of whom preceded the mother to the
great beyond and also the husband, Oscar Frank preceded her June 4, 1890. Those living to mourn the departure of the
soul are seven children, 3 boys and four girls, namely: August Frank of near
Lewisville, Charlie F. Frank of Shadyside, Oscar J. Frank of Donora, Pa, Mrs.
M. J. Young of Summit township, Mrs George Feiock of Tarantum, Pa., Mrs. E. E.
Cronin of near Lewisville, and Miss Henrietta Frank who has made her home with
her mother during her many years of suffering, and has been the comfort of the
aged parent until the last hour. She
also leaves to mourn 47 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren, three
brothers, Charlie Brubach, Jacob Brubach and Henry Brubach and a host of
friends. "Blessed are they that
die in the Lord."
Mrs. Frank was a woman in the true sense of the word, strictly
honest, temperate and industrious, a kind and indulgent mother, and a good
neighbor and useful citizen. She was one
of those women whose honor and integrity of principle we could all copy after
with profit.
It was known in the surrounding community that Mrs. Frank was sick for a long time and
suffered untold agony but she never complained. Her sickness was a complication of diseases incident to her
advanced age. The family and friends
with aid of Dr. C. W. Keysor of Miltonsburg did all that loving hands could do
but to no avail. At last the grim
reaper death came and put his cold and icy hands on one that was so near and
dear to us on February 29, 1912.
With short services at the house the remains were followed to
Lewisville by a large concourse of relatives and friends and her remains were
laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining the chruch. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Overbeck of
Woodsfield. He took for his text John;
9th chapter, 51st verse, which reads:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man keep my saying he shall
never see death." The services
were conducted in English and the church was crowded with eager listeners. The sermon was very interesting.
The family has lost a kind and loving mother, the chruch one
of its oldest members and the community one of its best citizens. Mrs. Frank leaves to mourn three sons, four
daughters, three brothers, 47 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and a host
of friends but our loss is her eternal gain.
May her soul rest in peace.
She had been in poor health for several months but no one
thought her end so near until a few days previous to her departure when she was
stricken very ill and continued to grow worse until God released her of her
suffering and called her to her home of eternal happiness. Our once happy home is now robed to morning
and we realize the sorrow of desolation that rest over us when such a dear one
is called away but can only say, God's will be done. The loss of such a dear one shall never be forgotton by us but
our only consolations is that mother is in heaven and we live for our God. We shall meet her in her eternal home never
more to part.
.
When we think of her cheerful face
in this world of
pain.
Then of heaven's abiding place
In the realm of gain,
Where no sorrow ever
come,
That to be our home.
May we meet our dear mother
Never more to part.
.
In the name of the Frank
family they take this method to thank one and all who in any way lent a helping
hand during the sickness and death of our beloved mother. A FRIEND"

IN LOVING
REMEMBRANCE--It is hard to part with dear friends here on earth, but we realize
that there will be no separation in heaven, such was that of Cora Elizabeth,
daughter of John and Anna Schneider, who was born in Monroe county, Ohio, Jan
11, 1895, and died Feb. 5, 1912, being at the time of her death 17 years and 25
days old. She leaves to mourn her loss a father, mother, two sisters, two
brothers, and a host of friends. Cora was a member of the confirmation class at
the Evangelical church where she attended regularly to learn the instructions
of Christ, and to love our Master as we should, so that some time, sooner or
later, she may be permitted to enter our heavenly home of love and rest, with
our Savior ever more. Cora was loved by all who knew her, and always met her
friends with a loving smile and a happy greeting. Yes, it is hard for us to
part with one so young and beautiful. But we realize that the young must
die as well as the aged. Again we realize that God has prepared a more beautiful
home and if we, the friends of Cora, live the life that God would have us to
live sooner or later, we will be permitted to clasp her hand in that beautiful
home in heaven where we will never part and dwell with Cora forever. Now as the
writer closes these solemn thoughts with a desire that father, mother, sisters
and brothers will live such a life that they will meet with Cora and make an
unbroken family around the throne of God. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J.
H. Overbeck, of the Woodsfield Evangelical church after which the remains were
taken to the Neuhart cemetery and tenderly laid to rest.
.
Dear Cora, she has left us,
Left us, yes, for ever
more,
But we hope to meet our loved
one
On that bright and
happy shore.
.
Dear Cora, oh, how we miss
you,
More, yes more, than
we can tell,
But we know you have gone to
Jesus,
There forever more to
dwell.
.
And when we're called to join
you,
In that land where all
is love,
Then, dear Cora, there'll be
no parting
In that beautiful home
above.

One death and the narrow escape of the loss of life of
another as the result of drinking what was supposed to be whiskey was an
occurrence that happened at Summerfield last Friday evening. Maywood Smith,
aged 30 years, and Gayle Rodecker, aged 19,the latter a graduate of Summerfield
high school last spring, entered W.B. Calland’s stable, on Friday evening, and
finding a bottle in which they supposed contained alcoholic drinks, but which
in reality proved to be horse medicine in which was a large quantity of
strychnine, drank of its contents. Each was at once seized with convulsions and
Smith died in less than a half hour. Friends worked over young Rodecker for
some time before he was relieved of all danger, and the next day he gave but
small evidence of his near approach to death. Smith is survived by his wife and
two small children. The funeral was held Sunday, followed by burial a
Graysville, Monroe County.

Maywood Smith, aged 26, and Gale Rodecker, aged 18, drank
the contents of a bottle of horse medicine that they found in William Callamd's
[sic]** barn at Summerfield last Friday
afternoon, and as a result, the former died in a short time after drinking
it. They were butchering turkeys for C.
W. Rodecker and had gone to the barn for more turkeys when they discovered the bottle. One of them picked it up, extracted the
cork. The contents had an alcoholic
odor and believing it to be whiskey, they both took a drink. On returning to
the place where they were butchering both became violently ill and told their
friends about drinking the contents of the bottle. After discovering it was poison a doctor was called and an effort
made to save their lives by producing vomiting. It is supposed the Smith boy drank more than his companion for he
died in a short time. Rodecker was
given medicine to produce vomiting therefore saving his life. Smith is survived by a wife and two
children. Rodecker graduated last year
from the Summerfield high school.

Stukey, Parlia Ann Stukey
Spirit of Democracy,
Woodsfield, Ohio, dated February 15, 1912
In memory of our departed sister, Parlia Ann Stukey, beloved
wife of Jacob Stukey.
It is with sadness and our
eyes beclouded with tears that we write these words to the memory of one whom
we loved so well.
Sister Parlia Ann Stukey (nee Williams) was born April 5,
1836, and passed into the great beyond January 11, 1912, having lived the earth
life 75 years, 9 months and 6 days. She was married to Brother Jacob Stukey
June 15, 1854, confessed her faith in Christ and was baptized by brother
William Mechem in the year 1855, thus she became a member o of the Church of
Christ and lived a consistent christian life and died a triumphant death. But
she is not dead, but only sleeping. She is not lost, but only gone before. She
has only gone out from the weary and pain racked body to be forever with the
Lord. The church has lost a faithful member.
The last few years she was not able to attend the services of the
house of the Lord, but she was always interested in the work of the church and
loved to hear of others accepting the Christ whom she loved so well. But we
must say good bye for a short time until we shall meet again on the banks of
the River of Life that flows by the throne of God. And while it means victory
to her, it leaves a husband lonely and a grief stricken niece to bear the loss.
Many of us shall miss her as we look at the vacant chair in
the home, but as we think of her cheerful disposition, sunny smiles and words
of encouragement, we feel that her life has been a sweet benediction to us all.
Funeral Sunday afternoon from the Church of Christ at
Beallsville conducted by the pastor, Brother Arthur Wake. The body was laid to
rest in the beautiful village cemetery where so many of our loved ones sleep
until God shall call them from that sleep to their “Sweet Rest in Heaven”

Today she sleeps
beneath the sod and dew and her labors are over but she will live long in the
memory of her many acquaintances who survive her. Death again has
visited us and taken our former neighbor and friend from this world of life to
take her place in the silent chamber of the dead. Suddenly and
unexpectedly she was called to that home in the great beyond, where we may all
look, and gather consolation from our blessed Redeemer, that when our time
shall come there will be a glorious reunion in that happy home above where
sorrow and parting will be no more. Our earnest prayer is that we all may live
so that when our time is brought to a close that we may meet our loved ones in
that land where is no more sickness and sorrow, and where we all can enjoy each
other's presence through the boundless ages of a never ending eternity. The
subject of this sketch, Lucinda Walters, nee Jeffers, was born May 1, 1829 and
died Jan. 8, 1912, being at the time of her departure 82 years, 8 months and 7
days old. On Oct. 9 1856, she was married to Albert Walters. To this union were
born eight children, six of whom are living, the father and two children having
preceded her to the great beyond several years ago. At the age of fourteen she
realized that God was her Savious, and joined the M. E. church at Mt. Carrick.
After moving to Wilding, W. Va., about thirty years ago, and there being no
church of the above named, she united with the M. P. church, of which she
remained a faithful member until she was called to her heavenly home above,
where all is illuminated by Jesus love. Aunt Cinda, as she was commonly called,
was a good woman, loved and respected by all who knew her. She was a
always ready to lend a helping hand to the poor and needy in time of
affliction. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they shall see God.
The children have our sincere sympathy in their sad bereavement and may they
look forward to that blessed land where sad farewells never come and parting is
no more. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Warren of the
M. P. church of Wilding, W. Va., where her body was laid to await the
resurrection. H. J. Griffith.
