OBITUARY: "The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour.
"Now is the only time you own; live, love, toil with a will; place no faith in tomorrow, for the clock may then be still.
"The death messenger has again called in the community and this time it summoned a prominent and highly respected citizen in the person of James Florence (sic) Creamer. Mr. Creamer was a son of Joseph and Mary Creamer and was born in Catawba, Ohio, March 16, 1854, and his passing occurred from the home of his daughter in East Fifth Street April 30, 1924.
"June 30, 1886 he and Mrs. Elizabeth M. Cockefair were united in marriage. Three children came to bless this couple. One little girl, Ruth, died at the early age of fifteen months but a daughter Mrs. Jess E. McFall and a son Frank E. Creamer together with the widow and six grandchildren survive. One sister Mrs. Mary E. Hunt of Springfield, O. also survives.
"Mr. Creamer was a member of the Main Street M.E. Church and was a director of the Home Loan Association of Connersville at the time of his death and had held this position for several years. For fourteen years he was Assessor of Connersville Township and a number of years ago, he owned and operated a music store in Connersville. Being a lover of music, he found such enjoyment with his violin and piano and good music always touched the tender chords of his nature. By trade, Mr. Creamer was a carpenter, contractor and builder and he was a very neat and efficient workman.
"Honesty was one of the fundamental principles of Mr. Creamer's life and what quality of character could be more essential than this? May these children ever cherish the noble traits of his character as an inheritance of most valuable worth and as the family will now ever think of this loved one as being with his Redeemer in a better world. May it be an incentive to them to be brave, for
"There shall be peace for all of us to share, "Long days of rest and nights that bring no woe; "Laughter and love and friendship wait us there
"In that far world to which we all must go.
"There, when our sould break from their walls of clay,
"That which is best in us shall find full sway."
