many years she was a sufferer from that dread disease consumption and her
health was slowly but surely on the decline until she had to close her eyes to
all she loves here on earth. Just a few days before she passed away A. R.

seem to suffer; did not cry, but kept talking to the friends until the last.
Now, the tender bud has been transplanted into the sunny clime of sweet
deliverance and will bloom in all the beauty and grandeaur
of heaven where she will never know no sin, and where she will watch and wait

Buchanan, Clelland Robinson Buchanan
Source: The
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio; March 1906
Clelland Robinson Buchanan, son of Alexander Buchanan, was
born at Lewisville May 30, 1846, and died March 2, 1906, at the age of 59
years, 9 months and 2 days. He was
married to Miss Lucinda Shell* October 12th, 1870. Of this union were born five daughters all of
whom live to mourn the father's sudden departure to the land beyond. Mrs. Lizzie Fisher who lives on a farm
adjoining her father's lands, Mrs. Minnie Polen and
Mrs. Sarah Yoho of North Main street, Miss Lena Young of Lewisville and Miss
Clara still at home. As a husband and
father Mr. Buchanan was very much interested in his home and it was a delight
to him for his married daughters to come often to the old home and share its
beauty and its love; to this they were always welcomed and their stay always
too short to satisfy his father's love.
As a neighbor he exampled the Good Samaritan and his heart could not let
a stranger go hungry for the asked for meal even if weary hands had to minister
in the preparing of it and his argument for it was the Golden Rule. As a man among men he was one whose word was
as good as a bond. When quite young, Mr.
Buchanan united with the Buchanan Presbyterian church of which he had always
been a consistent member; himself and family having much to do for years with
the humbler offices of the church. One
of his oft mentioned regrets in the last months was its closed doors leaving
himself and his community without the ordinance of religion; the philosophy of
his religious life was, "I don't want to put off the getting ready"
which would seem to be almost a revelation suited to his sudden "slipping
away." His death was due to some
inexplicable providence. A week before
he had done what he had done scores of times before,
had gone to one of the oil wells and gotten a bucket of oil for the kindling of
fires. This he had used without accident
until the fatal morning when in some unknown way the oil of the bucket became
ignited and then his clothing from which resulted his death in the early
evening, although Dr. J. R. Parry of Woodsfield and Dr. Diehl of Lewisville
were very soon at his bedside to minister the best of medical skill. He leaves behind to mourn his sudden call the
wife and five daughters, his mother Mrs. Alexander Buchanan and one sister,
Mrs. George Kerr of Woodsfield and many other relatives and friends of years. Many of his loved ones had preceded him to
the better land. His funeral service was
at the home March 5th at 10 o'clock a.m.
Rev. W. Loveridge Oliver, pastor of the
Woodsfield Presbyterian church, conducted the service. The I. O. O. F. of Lewisville and Woodsfield
lodges were well represented and participated in the burial service; of the
former lodge Mr. Buchanan had been a member since young manhood, nearly 40
years.
The
sudden and providence comes to us all,
But glad
in our sadness each one ought to be
Whose loved
ones make haste at the Lord's urgent call
And
press to reward where his glory they see
Then not
without hope let they tear moistened eyes
Be
lifted, soon lifted away from the clay
To the Spirit
Realm, God hath fixed in the skies
And
await, well prepared, that glad last Easter day.

more than a year ago Mr. Carroll’s health began to fail. Local physicians
examined him and he took treatment from them, but did not get any better.
Specialists in different cities were then seen and consulted and several months
were spent in different sanitariums, but the afflicted man grew worse. The
generally accepted idea is that his affliction was a tumor in his head.

Mr. Claus was
an earnest and faithful member of his church. He also endeavored to keep up the
German language in his home, giving his parents the pleasure of hearing their
grandchildren converse in their native tongue.
During the recent conference of pastors in his church he and his wife took active interest in the matter and lent a willing and helping hand to the work. On Sunday morning Mr. Claus, with wife and son, journeyed to the church where he found all of his daughters with their families assembled. After greeting them, services were taken during which he, joined by his wife, took communion with the congregation. At the conclusion of the services the entire family assembled on the lawn, partaking of the refreshments which they had provided for in the morning. It was a happy family reunion and everyone felt the joy of being once more united. They did not know that it was to be the last time in this world.
During
the afternoon services he, with a number of others, every place in the church
being filled, remained at the entrance, an attentive listener to the word of
God which was being proclaimed from the pulpit. Without warning or any alarming
symptoms the Lord suddenly called him to his heavenly home. He expired in the
parsonage where friends had taken him almost instantly, without regaining his
conscience. A stroke of paralysis had stopped the beating of his heart. Mr.
Claus died at an age of 55 years, 10 months, and 2 days. His remains were
interred in the cemetery of the Evangelical Church of Miltonsburg, Ohio, his
pastor, Reverend F. A. Meusch, conducting the
services and the choir rendering appropriate music.
That Mr.
Claus was highly respected and beloved in his community was proven by the large
attendance at his funeral, 67 wagons following the remains from his residence,
which were joined by a large number before the cemetery was reached.
Mr. Claus
leaves his wife, five children, three brothers, one sister and six
grandchildren, besides an unlimited number of friends to mourn his early
departure. May we all meet him in heaven.

God’s will he was ready to go , and on that sad morning he was called to go
home, to depart this life with his many old friends, but it was God’s will not
ours—His will be done.
We must
also realize that death is upon our track and sooner or later some one of us
will fall as his victim. Our lives are uncertain and death is sure. There is a
vacant chair by the fireside in the old home, a vacant chair at the table and a

the death angel calls for us we may be ready to go home to Jesus where our

Began
life’s journey on the 18th day of January, 1832, and entered into
the “Valley of the Shadow of Death” on the 27th day of October, 1905,- a weary journey of 74 years, 9 months and 7 days
duration.
Her
beloved companion Philo Crum, entered into “rest,”
She
leaves to mourn her departure two sons, three daughters, thirty-five
grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
She
made the “good confession’ and was immersed many years ago, and remained firm
in her convictions until death.
Sorrow
hath filled the hearts of the bereaved relatives, and we sympathize with them
in their loss, because of the death of our loved ones who have “died in the
Lord”, is dispelled by the light of God’s Word. Paul
in his second letter to Timothy 1: 8-11, tells us that “Christ hath abolished
death.” By this, is not meant that the fact or the fear of death has been
removed by our Lord, but that the worst effect of these attributes has been
dispelled. Christ has abolished the gloom of death as a
finality, by showing that it is not the end of all things. He has
abolished the terror of death as a punishment, by freeing the Believer from
Condemnation. He has abolished the lonesomeness and desolation of death by His
own presence as the Good Shepherd in the “Valley of the Shadow of Death.” And
so he has abolished the burden and bereavement of death to the survivors, for
“if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” All this is true
for those who are “in Christ.” Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord—the day
of their death is better than the day of their birth. Blessed are those who
mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are all who stand by the
Christian’s grave, for it is given them to sing; “O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory? Thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The
character and course of our living will determine the nature of our dying. Our
hope, therefore, is always based on our memories. We look backward in order to
find our warrant for a Christian outlook. What has been the life whose
departure we mourn? What were its motives and its aims? According to her place
and ability, “has she done what she could?”
Sister
Crum’s life has fully recorded the answer. It is the basis of our hope that we
shall meet her again, and the source of comfort and consolation to the bereaved
children.
The
funeral services were conducted by the writer, at the residence, after which

Cumpson, Aldona Cumpson
Spirit of Democracy,
It is with
the greatest of sadness that we are compelled to note the death of our friend
and neighbor Miss Aldona Cumpson,
daughter of Daniel and Nancy C. Cumpson, who departed
this life Sunday afternoon, being a sufferer from consumption during the past
year. No expense nor labor was spared to bring her
back to her usual health, but all in vain. The skill of physicians and the
tender care of loving friends was of no avail only to allay her suffering which
toward the last was intense, but “Dona” as we called her bore it with the
fortitude of a faithful Christian, never complaining but would pray God in his
mercy to give her strength to bear it. “Thy will and not mine will be done.”
She was
a good girl of a good disposition, kind to all she met, making
friends everywhere. We neighbors like to see “Dona” come. She was always
cheerful and generous; nothing that she possessed was to
good for a neighbor or those in want. We often heard the assertion among her
associates that Dona was their choice. She had a good word for all. She read
her Bible as long as she was able and when she became to
weak to read her father would read to her. Though young in years she had read
that blessed book, the Bible, through several times. While her friends were
singing for her while she lay sick, she remarked that it would not be long
until she see her “Savior Face to Face” applying the sentiment of the song to
her future beyond this vale of tears where there is no sickness, pain and
sorrow but where all tears are wiped away. Her place is vacant in the home. “Oh
how we miss her,” we do not hear her voice mingling with ours. Her footsteps,
Listen! We do not hear them. She can’t come to us but we can go to her.
May God
in his wise providence help us to live that we may meet her in the “Sweet
Bye-and-Bye.”

O., Nov. 5—The bleached bones of William Dunham, a hostler, missing since July
4, were discovered by boys hunting rabbits in a dense thicket a short distance
west of the Peoples’ Mills.
A
missing front tooth and the clothing made the identity of the remains certain.
The
manner of his death is still conjecture, since the body has lain in the open,
exposed to the elements, four months. No marks of violence were discovered.
Dunham
is known to have been despondent over the loss of his job.
