tender- ly laid to rest to await the resurrection of the body from which had
gone the sweet white soul of our mother up to the tender healing showers of
light-- up to the presence of God and unto his glory. The graves of our mothers
are to memory full of the ever blooming roses of love and lilies of purity. If
we may not have those we love with us
always, may [we] have the virtues with which they endeared themselves to us
. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Handlon of
Rinards Mill, and her children were all present at the funeral except
three--Eunice, Luther and Samuel.

Cronin, Albert Cronin
Albert cronin was born December 17, 1848 and died January 1,
1911, aged 62 years and 15 days. He was
united in marriage with Miss Ellen J. Baker.
To this union were born five children, two sons and three
daughters. Two daughters, Libbie Jane
and Mary Ellen preceded him to the home beyond the dark river of death. The living children are. S. L. Cronin and
Mrs J. A. Hines of Woodsfield and M. L. Cronin of Wayne township. He obeyed the gospel and became a Christian
in 1871 under the ministry of Elder Joseph Walters, Since his plighted faith in
Jesus the Christ he has fought the good fight and kept the faith, having
finished life’s course with courage and honors, he now enjoys the rest of those
who die in the Lord.
Few men were better known and more highly respected in the
community in which they were born and raised than Brother Albert Cronin was in
Wayne township where he was born and spent his life. He was a farmer and stock raiser and was successful and
prosperous; a man of nature judgment, a companion well informed in a general
way, which make him an interesting conversationalist. He was for a number of years prior to his death one of the
overseers or Bishops of the Church of Christ at Richfork; so that he will be
sadly missed in many relations of life; in the family; as a loving husband and
father and counselor; in the community as a neighbor and citizen, in the church
as one of the pillars and faithful members.
But what is loss to us is gain to him.
Funeral services were conducted at the Christian house of
Worship at Woodsfield, Ohio, by Elder K. W. Harkins Tuesday January 3 in the
presence of a large number of relatives and friends and former acquaintances. At the hour of 1 p.m. after services at the
church we went to the old Barber cemetery where a host of neighbors waited in
the cold and storm to get the last look at the cold house of clay in which formerly
had dwelt their neighbor and brother.
The bereaved family have the sincerest sympathy.

endeavored to keep him on his feet, at the same time telling his daughter to
assist him. Miss Letzelter did as requested but seen at once that death had

age and had been at the Infirmary for some time.

December, 1911
Once more comes the
time that we have the sad task of saying good bye to one that was a friend in
need and deed. It seems that we cannot
say those two sad words to part us,
till that great day. Rachel
Kinkade was born near Woodsfield, Ohio, on the 28th day of April, 1837, and
departed from this world of sorrow December 11,* 1911, having reached the age
of seventy-four years, seven months and three days. She leaves to mourn one son E. L. Kinkade of Graham, with whom
she lived all her life, ten grand children and twelve great grand children,
besides a host of friends. Funeral
services were held at the Church of Christ at Pleasant Ridge, Elder Mobberly
officiating. After which she was laid
to rest there to await the coming of Jesus.
Grandma Kinkade, as she was called by all, was always ready to lend a
helping hand to a friend in time of need.
How often when we were discouraged it was Grandma's cheery voice bade us
to try again. Then when sickness stole
upon us it was dear old Grandma's hand that smoothed our pillow and seemed to
drive the fatigue of sickness away. But
those dear old hands will never more stroke our fevered brow for they are
stilled in death forever. But Grandma,
this we know, there is a reward laid up for you in that home above. And now that you are gone and thy dear face
we see no more, we are sure that the memory of thy smiling face and kindly
deeds will never be banished from our sight.
It seems to us that God must have sent an angel to earth to bring a
treasure back to Heaven, and the treasure was Grandma. And as the Heavenly messenger softly
whispered come, we have need of thee, thy work on earth is done, no more will
sorrow or pain be thy lot, Grandma gently fell asleep to wake in realms more
fair than was ever seen by mortal man, there she will rest from the cares of
this life. But we, the ones that miss
her so, have this promise of God, that if we put our trust in Him and obey his
commandments we shall some day see Grandma again. So we must submit to the divine will of God who doeth all things
well. For it is they will, dear Lord,
not ours, be done.
Dear old Grandma now has left us,
For a mansion pure and white,
But her absence has bereft us
For we are left alone tonight.
M.S.
Submitter's Note: The death certificate gave her date of
death as December 1st. Mathematically
if she were born April 28, 1837 and lived 74 years, 7 months, and 3 days, as
stated above, that would also support the December 1st date. However, the issue of the newspaper is
December 14 which is closer to the December 11th date given therein for
her death.

the home of his mother, Mrs. Barbara Crawford, November 13, 1911, being at the

again to New Mexico, where he engaged in herding, being overseer of a large
ranch, but he returned about a year ago, saying, AMother, I am going to stay
with you as long as I live.@ How little either of them realized how short that
time was to be. He was stricken with pneumonia and only lived about ten days
despite all many loving friends could do for him.
John
improved his education opportunities and received a teacher=s certificate while
young. He was an industrious and successful young man, having the respect of
his acquaintances to an unusual degree as was shown by the large number
attending his funeral. He leaves to mourn his early departure a mother, Mrs. G.
W. Crawford; stepfather, G. W. Crawford; two brothers, George and Lewis Rubel,
