Old Resident Dies Near Lucerne
Seaberry Ford Maring, son of Nicholas and Hannah Maring, was
born in Monroe County, Ohio, April 18th, 1851, and departed this life
Wednesday, Sept. 26, 1928, at the age of 77 years, 5 months and 8 days,
following an illness of considerable length.
When a small boy he came to Exline, Ia., with his parents. The
father enlisted for service in the Civil War, dying in the service at Little
Rock, and thus the subject of this sketch found thrust upon his young shoulders
much of the responsibility of caring for a widowed mother and a family of six
brothers and sisters. The mother preceded him in death in the year 1872.
In the year 1869 he was united in marriage with Reta Belle
Kinkade at Exline, where they resided for several years.
In 1880 they moved with their family to the farm near Lucerne,
Mo., and for 48 years that vicinity has been his home, he leaving the farm for
a home in Lucerne 15 years ago.
To this union seven children were born, one dying in infancy
at the age of four months, Lawrence Ford Maring. The rest of the children, with
the wife and mother, survive. They are: John N. Maring, Centerville, Iowa;
Thomas Maring, near Lucerne, Mo.; Charles Maring, Wichita, Kans.; Mrs. Florence
Snyder, Lucerne, Mo.; Mrs. Laura Hickman, near Lucerne, Mo.; and Fred Maring,
Lucerne. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Nancy Clinkenbeard of Exline, Iowa;
nine grandchildren, also four great grandchildren.
With the passing of Mr. Maring a home that had remained intact
for over 59 years, with the exception of the infant son, is broken. He was a
home loving man, devoting all his attention and efforts towards proving a Home
wherein peace, comfort and happiness should reign supreme, insofar as he was
able to accomplish this end.
A man without enemies, a believer in the power of a supreme
Being to do at all times that which was best, with a sublime faith in God and
his fellow man, his passing marks the laying down of another life of which it
can truthfully be said: "He hath done what he could."
The funeral of Mr. Maring was conducted from the Lucerne
Christian Church Thursday, Sept. 27, by Rev. R. W. Blunt of Galt, Mo., in the
presence of a large congregation of sorrowing relatives and friends, and
interment was made in the Ravanna Cemetery.

SANDYVILLE
A Fatal Accident
A deplorable accident occurred Wednesday evening near the
residence of Clint Leonard on Trace Fork, when a truck, loaded with cross ties,
and driven by Georgia* Snyder and Geo. McGrew down a steep hill, overturned and
threw them both off, the whole load of ties landing on George and crushing his
chest and legs. He was immediately
rushed to a hospital but died before reaching Parkersburg. The other man was only slightly wounded,
suffering a gash to one knee.
A pall of gloom settled over the whole community when word
was received that George was dead. He
had lived practically all his life in Sandyville and owned a beautiful home
near the old Dr. Casto homestead.
Undertaker Ewing of Pomeroy took full charge and brought the body to the
home Thursday, where amid beautiful flowers and sorrowing friends, it lay in
state until Sunday, and was then interred at Independence cemetery, with Rev.
Keenan of Ravenswood in charge.
The largest crowd that has ever been known to attend a
funeral here was present, being estimated at between eight hundred and a
thousand. A male quartette rendered the
music, with Miss Kathryn Wilson at the piano.
Flowers were piled high and their beautiful fragrance filled the air.
George was one of those quiet, unassuming men, whose
mission in life seemed to be "to help the other fellow." He leaves a wife and a daughter, mother,
five brothers and one sister to mourn their loss, beside a host of other
friends.
He was one of those men who could turn their hand to any
kind of work, being a wonderful carpenter, and had operated a saw mill for
several years.
He was young to die, but the Master had spoken, "Well
done! though good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I'll make the [sic--thee] ruler over many." "Come up Higher.” Let us strive to emulate his life.
*Submitter’s Note: Perhaps
this was supposed to be George rather than Georgia since he is a male.
Monroe,

Democrat, Thursday, 6 Dec 1928
DIED TODAY
AFTER ILLNESS OF
WEEK
Congestion of the lungs and heart trouble with which he had
suffered for only a few days caused the death of William Sherman Monroe, widely
known Shelbyville man. Mr. Monroe
passed away at 3:25 o'clock this morning at his home, 405 north Pike street,
and the announcement of his death is the cause of deep and sincere mourning
among his hundreds of friends.
He was stricken with the fatal attack on Saturday of last
week and his condition soon became serious, resulting in his death this
morning. The fatal heart attack
developed after he had been weakened by several days suffering from pneumonia.
Mr. Monroe was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William
Monroe and was born in Shelby county, Nov. 22, 1865, being at the time of
death, sixty-three years and eight days old.
Practically his entire lifetime had been spent in Shelby county and he
was known by residents throughout the community.
He was united in a first marriage with Miss Viola Pope in
1895* and to this union, three children were born, all of whom survive. They are Mrs. Jesse Howe and Forrest Monroe,
both of Shelby township, and Earl Monroe, at home.
In the year 1900, he was united in marriage with Mrs.
Celesta Mount, who, with a brother, Charles Monroe, of Shelbyville, and a
sister, Mrs. Ella Lee, of Shelby township, survives. He also leaves three grandchildren.
Mr. Monroe had been a member of the Bethel Separate Baptist
church in Noble township for many years.
Short funeral services are to be held at one o-clock Sunday
afternoon from the late home and at two o'clock at the Lewis Creek Baptist
church with the Rev. J. W. Moffatt, pastor of the First Baptist church, in this
city, officiating. Burial will be in
the Lewis Creek cemetery with Morris H. Sleeth, undertaker, in charge.
*Submitter's Note:
Viola died 23 Dec 1894 so this date probably is in conjunction with her
death, not their marriage. They were
married August 21, 1887.

A snow rim on my brow,
But summer in my heart,
My feet are weary now-
Soon earth and I must part;
But God has made my pathway
bright,
And now at evening time,
there's light,
A staff of easy grasp
Supports my yielding limb,
He bids my faith to grasp
It's hold and trust in him;
His love and will arc my
delight,
And lo, at evening time,
there's light,
Like winter sun that shines
Even thru the cloudy rifts,
His love and favor now are
mine,
Rich in my fathers gifts,
I do not fear; there is no
night,
Behold, at evening time,
there's light.
My outer vision's dim,
My inward eye is clear;
My very thought of him
Disposes every fear,
I know life’s outcome will be
bright,
For now at evening time
there's light.
Some night, or morn, or noon,
Life's journey will be done,
Nor do I fear if soon .
My endless life's begun.
Then, Oh tho bliss of that
first sight,
When path and pillow flame
with light."

Weisend, Sophia Weisend (nee-Buss)
Spirit of Democracy,
Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, January 2, 1929
The Angel of Death came quietly Sunday morning, December 23
and took her home above another pioneer settler of River Falls, Wisconsin-Mrs.
Valentine Weisend. She had been in failing health for some time but her death
was not expected Sunday morning when she had retired for a nap which brought
her peace, quiet and rest eternal.
Miss Sophia Buss was born March 28, 1856,in Greenland,
Skuylkell County, Pennsylvania.
On January 20, 1885 she was married at Big River, Wisconsin to
the late Mr. Valentine Weisend, after which they made their home, at River
Falls, Wisconsin. To them was born one daughter Eulalia, a teacher in the
public schools of River Falls, who survives her mother, the father, Valentine
Weisend having passed away in July 1927. A brother, John Buss of Big River,
Wisconsin and two sisters; Mrs. Celia Hastert of River Falls and Mrs. John Zelg
of South Milwaukee, Wisconsin also survive.
Mrs. Valentine Weisend was a most devoted wife and mother, an
ideal homemaker, a true neighbor and a devout and active member of St.
Bridgets’ Catholic Church. One of her greatest pleasures was to render service
to her church, in both its religious and social phases. She was ever foremost
in promoting its interests and never shirked an obligation. Mrs. Weisend led a
most exemplary life of service and her absence will be deeply felt not only in
her immediate home circle but among her many devoted friends and neighbors.
“We have loved her in life, let us not forget her in death” by
St. Ambrose.
Mrs. Weisend will be kindly remembered by the older people as
she formerly resided at Burkhart, Ohio.
