Gatten, Rupert E. Gatten
Spirit of Democracy,
LKP#6
Sooner or later the death angel must enter into each home,
tearing asunder earthly ties and leaving the home sad and desolate.
It is with a sad heart that I write in memory of Rupert, the
little son of Hamilton and Mary Gatten, who died
While Rupert’s stay on earth was short, it is sweet to
remember him, for he had become the delight in the household-a mother’s joy, a
father’s pride.
In his wisdom, God has seen fit to pluck from earth this
little flower, and to transplant it in the beautiful paradise of glory. Little
Rupert lived upon earth and passed away without the guilt or knowledge of sin.
Therefore it is certain that he is safe in the arms of Jesus. He was sick for
only a week with typhoid fever. All that loving hands could do was done, but
all to no avail. God who gave him, called him home.
A place is vacant in their end, they will meet their darling
in heaven where there will be no more partings.
The funeral services were conveyed to Connor Ridge cemetery to
await the final summons at the last day.

Highman, William H. Highman
Spirit of Democracy,
Once more has that unwelcome guest, Death, visited our
community and taken from it one of the noblest characters it possessed; a
character marked for its high degree of morality, its sense of honor, its love
of right, and its willingness at all times to do that which is considered to be
duty.
William H. Highman was born
The deceased was the son of Duncan and Sarah M. Highman and
leaves a father, mother, six brothers, one sister and a host of friends to
mourn the loss of a dutiful son, a loving brother and a kind friend.
The funeral services were conducted by James Cline at the home
of the deceased. Interment at the Connor Ridge cemetery

BY HER OWN HAND,
MRS. CARRIE
KRUSE ENDS
HER LIFE.
Called the
Doctor and Then
Swallowed Fatal
Carbolic
Acid.
The body of Mrs. Carrie Kruse lies at the morgue next to
that of Mrs. Jennie Williams, who was murdered and that of Henry Fossbauk, who
died of heart disease. Mrs. Kruse, who
was only 20 years of age, committed suicide by taking carbolic acid at her
home.
During Monday night a telephone message came to Dr. Sims to
call at the woman's home right away.
Her step-father, Joseph George, lived at Columbus and Parsons avenues,
and heard a groan in the room occupied by Carrie and opened the door. As the door swung to the woman fell on the
step, saying, "I am going home."
She was taken into the house and Dr. C. T. Elder of 968 Parsons avenue,
was called. Dr. Sims of 593 Parsons
avenue who had got the message, arrived first and found that the woman had
swallowed carbolic acid. Everything
possible was done but she was too far gone and died in a very short time. The patrol wagon took her body to the morgue. It is said that Carrie had quarreled with
her husband, who works for the Columbus Iron and Steel company, and brooding
over her trouble had at last taken poison.
The coroner was notified.

mourn her sad departure. Her mother passed over on the other shore just two
weeks before Zelma was called. We did all in our power to save her but God knew
best and she went to join her dear
mother and with clasped hands they are standing in that bright eternal home
where no sorrow, sickness nor death ever enters. Oh, dear Zelma, how we miss
her, for she was a kind hearted child and loved by everybody. She will be missed as she was always
there. The remains were taken to the
