Hannah Jane Highman was born
On
Mrs. Gatten leaves to mourn her sad departure the four
children mentioned above, twenty-five grand children, eighteen great
grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends.
Early in life she affiliated herself with the Methodist
Episcopal Church to which faith she remained devoutly constant to the end. In
early womanhood she was the foundation of our nation shaken by the Civil War.
She left a dear and loving
brother at Gettysburg. Through these and subsequent crisis and bereavement she
was held believing that “All things work together for good to those who love the
Lord.” The simplicity of her faith in her declining years was a beautiful
object lesson to a younger and more frivolous world. Always generous and tender
hearted to sacrifice for others was part of her nature. Just as her life had
been calm, her departure was also calm, and coming as it did at the eventide
one is instinctively reminded of Tennyson’s immortal poem on death.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me;
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark;
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
.
For though from out our bourne of
Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

Mrs. Arval Hough and Edgar Greenstreet were killed and Mr.
Hough and Mrs. Greenstreet seriously injured early last Saturday morning when
the automobile driven by Greenstreet turned over several times. As was stated in the Daily Rustic Saturday,
the accident happened about 2:30 o'clock Saturday as Mr. and Mrs. Hough and Mr.
and Mrs. Greenstreet were returning to Lebanon from Sedalia, where they and
Raymond Kaffenberger, manager of the Skelly Oil company station, and Mrs.
Kaffenberger had attended a Skelly club meeting. From Sedalia, Mr. and Mrs. Kaffenberger went to Columbia to spend
the week-end and did not know of the tragedy until notified on Saturday. The two occupants of the roadster driven by
Mr. Greenstreet were killed and the other two so badly injured that they could
not give instructions to the passing motorists who found them as to who should
be notified, so the families in Lebanon knew nothing of the terrible news until
7 o'clock Saturday morning, when Mrs. Greenstreet, who had been taken back to
Sedalia and placed in the hospital, rallied enough to have attendants notify
the Hough and Bramhall families.
Double funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the
Baptist church in Lebanon. The
pallbearers for Mrs. Hough were: Loren
Bramhall, Lloyd Bramhall, John Southard, Kenneth Bell Crain and Vernus Kinkade. Those chosen for Mr. Greenstreet were: Raymond Kaffenberger, John E. Walstrom, Jr.,
Harry Jarrell, Firmin Wood, Lee Blair and Clifford Kinkade.

the three families bereaved by tragedy, the H. D. Hough, A. T. Bramhall and the
E. E. Greenstreet families. A double
bereavement in the Bramhall family as Mrs. Hough and Mrs. Greenstreet were
formerly Misses Manola and Hazel Bramhall.
Every bit of standing room was occupied and many went away, not being
able to get inside the church. The
chancel where the two caskets stood were banked with flowers from relatives,
friends and these organizations:
Sedalia Skelly club, Sinclair service station, the two Standard Oil
service stations, Home Oil company, Tidewater service station, Nelson service
station, Diamond service station, Standard Oil company, Conoco service station,
both departments of the Rice-Stix factory, Royal Neighbors Rippy Farm club,
Women's Missionary society of the Baptist church, the teachers of the
vocational department of the Lebanon high school and the Isley Tire company of

FAIRLAND MAN
KILLED
DEAFNESS IS
BLAMED
Partial deafness of Paris Harris, 75 years old, of
Fairland, was given by Coroner Thomas Cartmel today as a factor in the
accidental death of Mr. Harris late Wednesday afternoon when he was struck by a
locomotive of a west-bound Big Four passenger train at a crossing immediately
west of the Fairland depot.
Mr. Harris was walking toward his home at the west edge of
Fairland at the time of the accident, after having bought a loaf of bread at a
Fairland grocery. He was killed instantly. His body was hurled a distance of
about 25 feet, the impact caused a fractured neck, a crushed chest, and
shattering of the bones in the left hip of the accident victim.
A Mr. Roach, fireman, was the only member of the train crew
who saw the accident. Coroner Cartmel learned that Mr. Harris had had several
narrow escapes in crossing the railroad tracks. Mr. Harris leaves a widow and
five sons and daughters.
Mr. Harris had spent a few hours fishing earlier in the day
with a son, Thomas Harris, a member of the Indianapolis force. The son left for
Indianapolis at about 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon.
The fast train that struck Mr. Harris was due in Fairland
at 4:05, but was a few minutes late. The fireman, seeing the accident, signaled
to the engineer, F. P. Berry, to stop the train, and the latter did so. Coroner
Cartmel was informed that Mrs. Louis Lee of Fairland was an eye-witness to the
accident, from the west side of the tracks, and planned to obtain a statement from
Mrs. Lee, as well as from two members of the train crew.
Mr. Harris lived in Shelbyville until about ten years ago,
when he and his wife moved to Fairland.
The deceased was born in Monroe county, Indiana, October
14, 1855, the son of George and Eliza Johnson Harris. His marriage to Miss
Minerva Hoop took place January 23, 1881. Of nine children born to them, two
daughters and three sons survive. They are: Mrs. Carrie McNutt, of
Indianapolis; Mrs. Alice Henninger, Indianapolis; Clarence and Harry Harris, of
Shelbyville, and Thomas of Indianapolis. Mr. Harris also leaves seven
grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
The funeral services will be held in
the late home at Fairland Friday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, and the Rev. W. A.
Ryland, pastor of the Fairland M.E. church will officiate. Burial will be in
the family lot in the Fairland cemetery, in charge of C. F. Fix & Son.
Friends may call at the late home any time after 5:00 p.m. today.

Mrs. Arval Hough and Edgar Greenstreet were killed and Mr.

the automobile driven by Greenstreet turned over several times. As was stated in the Daily Rustic Saturday,
the accident happened about 2:30 o'clock Saturday as Mr. and Mrs. Hough and Mr.
and Mrs. Greenstreet were returning to Lebanon from Sedalia, where they and
Raymond Kaffenberger, manager of the Skelly Oil company station, and Mrs.
Kaffenberger had attended a Skelly club meeting. From Sedalia, Mr. and Mrs. Kaffenberger went to Columbia to spend
the week-end and did not know of the tragedy until notified on Saturday. The two occupants of the roadster driven by
Mr. Greenstreet were killed and the other two so badly injured that they could
not give instructions to the passing motorists who found them as to who should
be notified, so the families in Lebanon knew nothing of the terrible news until
7 o'clock Saturday morning, when Mrs. Greenstreet, who had been taken back to
Sedalia and placed in the hospital, rallied enough to have attendants notify
the Hough and Bramhall families.
Double funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the

formerly Misses Manola and Hazel Bramhall.
Every bit of standing room was occupied and many went away, not being
able to get inside the church. The

friends and these organizations:
Sedalia Skelly club, Sinclair service station, the two Standard Oil
service stations, Home Oil company, Tidewater service station, Nelson service
station, Diamond service station, Standard Oil company, Conoco service station,
both departments of the Rice-Stix factory, Royal Neighbors Rippy Farm club,

Hubbard, Joseph B. Hubbard
Spirit of Democracy,
Woodsfield, Ohio, dated,
Joseph B. Hubbard first saw the light of day at Wills Creek,
Monroe County,
J. B. Hubbard was recorder of deeds of Monroe County at the
time of his death. In his care were the precious documents of this county. How
prompt and conscientious he was in his duty toward Monroe County is a matter of
record. So, Rev. H. R. Chalfant of the Methodist Episcopal church took as his
text II Corinthians 1:23: “Morevover I call God for a record upon my soul.” The
speaker dwelt upon his care and faithfulness as Recorder of deeds and the
documents of the county. The record of his soul was in the hands of the God
Almighty who knew his piety and his closer walk with God. Rev. Henry Fox of the
St. Paul’s Evangelical church conducted the services and dwelt briefly upon the
plain, simple life of service of J. B. Hubbard as husband, father, brother,
neighbor, friend, advisor and Recorder, his place of humility among his fellow
men.
Kind neighbors and friends as well as the associates from the
court house came to offer their friendly services to the family as soon as the
sad news of his passing was made known. Their deeds of kindness, their words of
sympathy, the floral tributes, the tender hymns, all spoke eloquently of the
esteem in which he was held. The home was filled to overflowing at the funeral
services. Then mournfully and silently came the journey to his final resting
place at Oaklawn cemetery where reverently bowed heads and bated breath
witnessed the committal service.
There remain to mourn his sudden departure his widow, Louise
May Cline Hubbard, with whom he was united in marriage
The family takes this opportunity to thank all who at the time
of Mr. Hubbard’s death by word or deed showed such comforting kindness.

NATIVE OF MARIETTA SUCCUMBS
Pearl McCurdy, 38, World War veteran, native of Marietta
and a resident of this city until a year or two ago, died in Zanesville early
Sunday morning. He was a victim of
pneumonia with his death actually due to exposure according to Zanesville
police.
Taken ill a few days ago McCurdy was attended at his
home. He grew worse and developed a
case of pneumonia. Late Saturday night,
it is said, he arose from his bed and wandered away from the house. An alarm was given as soon as he was missed
but before he was found, he had fallen unconscious to the ground and he died a
short time afterward.
Marietta police were notified Sunday afternoon of McCurdy's
death and were asked to communicate with relatives here. They were located and the body of the dead
man was moved to Marietta late Sunday evening.
BADLY WOUNDED
McCurdy attracted widespread local attention a few years
ago when his disability claims were recognized by the government and he was
paid a large sum of money in the way of compensatiion for war time
injuries. Allowance of his claim
established the fact that during many months of service in France, McCurdy had
been gassed and had been wounded . . .
[THIS ENTIRE LINE IS ILLEGIBLE] in the A. E. F. suffered more injuries
than did any Marietta man and his record shows that he literally was shot to
pieces.
During the years immediately following the war McCurdy
spent most of his time in army hospitals.
One operation followed another and finally he was discharged to take his
place in civilian life. Then his claims
were allowed. He married about that
time and took up his home in Marietta.
Domestic differences ended that union and later he secured a
divorce. Again he married and since
that time he and his second wife and their child have been living in
Zanesville.
MILITARY FUNERAL
McCurdy was a son of the late Douglas and Clarabelle
McCurdy of Douglas Avenue, West Side.
In addition to his family in Zanesville he is survived by several
brothers and sisters, Lawrence McCurdy of Cleveland, Mrs. Freda Meeks of Waverly,
W. Va., Mrs. Frances McCullick of Williamstown, W. Va., Mrs. Goldie Smith of
Columbus, and Walter and Geneva McCurdy of Marietta.
For a number of years McCurdy was actively connected with

Scores of friends in this community were sorely shocked and
grieved.

Just prior to entering the hospital he had been ill from an
attack of the measles. Immediately following this a highly vicious type of
blood infection resulted from a scratch on his right thumb, and upon consulting
with physician he was ordered taken to the hospital at once.
After a brave struggle, this infection was apparently
conquered. Pleurisy developed and this too ran its course and the patient
seemed well on his way to recovery. But the long fight against these various
onslaughts proved to great a strain on the heart and collapse came about 36
hours prior to his death. Blood transfusions had been given at intervals during
his illness, and oxygen was used in the hope that the heart might be able to
regain some measure of strength, but to no avail.
Mr. Morris was born in Center township, this county, 34 years
ago. For the past three years he had been employed as custodian of Linsly
Institute, Wheeling. He also owned the confectionery on South Main street,
Woodsfield, now being operated by Mrs. Estella DeCovey. He had been married

John Rogers Parry was born
Dr. Parry was the youngest of nine children, six sons and
three daughters, none of whom survive.
Dr. Parry was twice married, first to Katherine A. Watson, daughter
of Captain James Watson and Mary Devore Watson, in December 1879. To this union
two children were born, Beatrice Lee and Mary Ethel, both of whom died in
infancy. Mrs. Parry’s death occurred on

Ward Hudson Parry, in business in Akron, Ohio.
Dr. Thayer L. Parry, of Akron
The following grandchildren also survive:
Ward Hudson Parry, Jr. of Akron; Jane E. Parry, John
Rogers Parry III, of Philadelphia.
At the age of fourteen, J. R. Parry entered Jacktown Academy
at Jacktown, Pa. After completing his course there he took his pre-medical work
at the Monongahela College and Allegheny College. At intervals during his
college work he was engaged in teaching. Meanwhile he was reading medicine
under his older brother, Dr. W. M. Parry, and later he took the full course in
medicine and surgery then offered at the Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati,
now known as the University of Cincinnati.
In 1891 and 1892 he pursued graduate courses in general
medicine, physicial diagnosis and operative surgery, at the New York
Polyclinic, for which he was granted a diploma in the latter year.
The early years of Dr. Parry’s general practice were spent in
Graysville, Monroe County, Ohio. Later he transferred his residence to
Woodsfield, entering into professional partnership with the late Dr. T. H.
Armstrong.
Coincident with Dr. Parry’s general practice he was U.S.
Pension Examiner for 44 years during the entire period of the late war he was
physician on the examining board for soldiers; was also a member of the
Volunteer Medical Service Corps. Authorized by the Council of National Defense,
for which war services he was given special recognition by the government; was
surgeon of the O. R. & W. Railway Co. until the line was discontinued a few
years ago.
Dr. Parry was a member of the Presbyterian Church; also of B.
P. O. E., No. 114, Zanesville.
Throughout the years of his practice he maintained membership
in the American Medical Association, and was also a member of the Monroe County
Medical Association during its existence.
Dr. Parry practiced his profession for over half a century 56
years to be exact. Although of a naturally rugged physique, the time came when
he could no longer practice actively. His struggle against the odds of
advancing years finally ended in death. He strove for life with the same
persistence which had saved the lives of many of his patients, but it was
destined that a career remarkable for useful, kindly service should come to an
end.
The passing of a useful life from a community is ever a matter
of sorrow and regret upon the part of the citizens of that community. Yet in
the passing of these lives we still continue to feel their influence. Many are
the thoughts that come to those who mourn at the last rites of a friend. The
veil of petty misunderstandings that blind us to the better things of life is for
the moment swept aside and we become convinced that out of the intricate maze
of experiences, heartaches and disappointments which may be referred to as our
daily lives—two things stand out as being superbly worthwhile. Briefly they
are, character, and a desire to be of service to our fellow-man. Perfection is
never achieved by any mortal. But in striving for excellence in these two
desirable attributes we are building a solid foundation for the life eternal.
Dr. Parry’s life was one of devotion to his profession and to
his family.
To those who find themselves in position to do so, life
affords no greater satisfaction than that offered in aiding those who are
willing, to advance themselves in a worthwhile way. For many years during his
practice of medicine, Dr. Parry found it advisable to have the assistance of
able-bodied young men to help him reach some of the more remote rural calls.
Over the coarse of years these young men were numerous. It was Dr. Parry’s
great desire that they improve themselves and many of them did so. Today some
of these young men, through the aid and encouragement extended to them by Dr.
Parry and his family, occupy enviable positions in the business and
professional world. Needless to say, their gratitude to the man who started them
on the road to success and a broader outlook upon life is deep and everlasting.
Dr. Parry was permitted to live to serve three generations in
the practice of his profession a very enviable record. Columns could be written
about the sacrifices made and the good deeds performed by him as well as by
others, of the older school of physicians in this county who have passed on,
but a legion of grateful patients can best attest to this.
Funeral services in charge of Rev. W. Hilton Petry were held
from the late home on Friday, August 31st and were largely attended.

Mrs. Mary E.
Taggart, formerly of Nashville, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Edson
Emerson,* five miles north of Fredonia, Kansas, February 1.
Mrs. Taggart was born at Bentwood, West Virginia, June 29,
1844.** She moved with her parents,
Henry and Christina Volland,*** when a girl of four years of age, to
Nashville. Here she grew to womanhood
and it was here that she was united in marriage to William F. Taggart, March 5,
1885. Six children were born to
them. Mr. and Mrs. Taggart went west
early in their married life and settled at Hutchison, Kansas, where they lived
for a number of years. When sixteen
years of age she united with the Presbyterian church from which denomination
she never moved her membership.
However, much of her christian service was rendered in the Methodist
