Caldwell, Lloyd Marlin
Caldwell Boy Falls Off Truck And Dies Here
Accident Occurs Near His Home At Swan Creek
Marlin Caldwell, 10-year-old Swan Creek boy, fell or jumped off a moving truck last evening and died in a few minutes after he was brought to the Holzer Hospital at 7 o'clock. The back of his head was crushed in and the boy was gasping for breath when he reached the operating table.
Marlin was one of eight or nine children of Calvin Caldwell, who lives on the Frank H. Mills farm and near the Mills Home.
The accident occurred near the Swan Creek Bridge. The elder Caldwell was hauling corn to a silo and several of his boys were riding on the rear end of the truck. Though this writer was unable to communicate with any member of the family, the report was current that Marlin said something about jumping off and killing himself just a moment or two before he fell or jumped. This was the first highway fatality in the county since Memorial Day, when three men were fatally hurt near the Children's Home.
Since the foregoing lines were written it is learned that the boy's full name was Lloyd Marlin Caldwell and his age was 10 years and 10 days.
Surviving, besides the parents, are nine brothers and sisters: Calvin Jr., Irene, Earl, Farrell, Leroy, Donnie, Bobby Eugene, Frank, Osa Maxine and a grandmother, Mrs. Osa Martin of Carroll, O.
Funeral services will be conducted at 10 Thursday forenoon at Kings Chapel by Rev. Chester Cremeens. Burial by Stevers.

Campbell, Allen
Allen Campbell Dead
Allen Campbell, one of the good citizens of the Waugh Bottom neighborhood, died Friday morning at his home near the mouth of Horse Creek. His death followed an attack of influenza. Mr. Campbell was born in Ohio township, June 22, 1851, and at the time of his death was 70 years 6 months and 8 days old. He was a farmer by occupation and always took an active part in the affairs of his community. His wife was Miss Ella Carter of Chambersburg. The children born to this union are Herman and Charles Camabell, now living in Hungtington, W. Va., and Mrs. Ruby Rose of Bladen.
Mr. Campbell's life was associated with a bit of pioneer history, his grandparents, settling in this county, near his birthplace, in 1806. They came from Culpepper County, Virginia when Mr. Campbell's father, George Campbell, was one year old. They had to endure all the privations of pioneer life. During the war of 1812, Mr. Campbell's father was in great danger from the Indians and his mother often hid the children thru the day under a drift pile on the river bank. They had to do their trading in Gallipolis and their nearest mill was twenty seven miles away, upon the Guyan river. The corn for their bread they ground by hand or grated it on a tin grater made from an old pan. Their meat consisted of deer and wild turkey. The bears would not allow them to raise any hogs and the wolves often destroyed all their sheep.
When ever they went to church or to visit a neighbor they carried their rifles with them.
The readers of our younger generation will hardly believe that these facts once occurred in their neighborhood which is now thickly populated and almost void of any signs of pioneer life.
The funeral services over the remains of Mr. Campbell were held at the Swan Creek M. E. Church Sunday evening and were largely attended. Rev. Earl Cremeans pronounced the funeral sermon and Undertaker J. W. Stevers had charge of the burial in the church cemetery.

Carman, Infant Son
Carman
Little son of David and Hettie Carman, aged 4 months and 22 days. After 11 hours of intense suffering his little spirit passed away, June 24th, 1890, to that bright world that God has prepared for him. He leaves father, mother, three brothers and two sisters to mourn their loss. May God grant we may all meet this little darling on the other shore.
| A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled The boon his love had given, And though the body moulders here, The soul is safe in heaven. Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O'er the spoils that Death has won, We would at this solemn meeting Calmly say Thy will be done. Though cast down, we're not forsaken; Though afflicted, not alone. Thou didst give and Thou hast taken - Blessed Lord, Thy will by done. Call not back the dear departed, Anchored safe where storms are o'er; On the border land we left him, Soon to meet and part no more. When we leave this world of changes, When we leave this world of care, We shall find our missing baby In our Father's mansions fair. Aunt Electa |

Bernice, the eight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Carter, died about one o'clock Tuesday, April 14, 1903, of bowel and spinal trouble after a very short illness. She attended Sunday-school and church last Sunday and on coming home complained of a headache and soon after became unconscious. It was thought for a time that the trouble was indigestion but it soon developed into brain and spinal trouble. She was a bright girl with a disposition that made her a universal favorite and her sudden death is an awful blow to her parents, who idolized her, as well as to her playmates.

In Memoriam
Edward J. Carter
Edward J. Carter, son of Amon and Eliza Carter, was born at Patriot, Gallia County, Ohio, September 12, 1868; died at Lancaster, Ohio, January 10th, 1918, aged 49 years, 3 months and 28 days.
He was united in marriage to Elizabeth Rees, daughter of David and Margaret Rees, April 12, 1890, and to this union was born six children-Clarence L. and Everet E. of Patriot, Ohio; Nellie V. Gills of Arabia, Ohio; Gladys N. Lusher of Columbus, Ohio; Donnie of Patriot, and Addie of Arabia.
His affectionate companion, whom he so dearly loved, having died 15 years ago, he found a welcome home with his brother George at Patriot, and was always welcome at the homes of his other brothers and sisters.
He was a trusted employee at the Boys' Industrial School at Lancaster, Ohio, four years, during which time he performed his duty and fulfilled his obligation with such promptness and fidelity that he was held in the highest esteem and confidence by all of the employees at the Institution.
Ed. represented in his life a true spirit of American citizenship, having taken so much interest in the current events of the day that he fulfilled all the rights and obligations of a true American citizen.
His kind and genial disposition won for him a host of friends in the community where he spent the greater part of his life.
In his association with others he was courteous and gave due consideration to the rights and opinions of all with whom he associated.
When a message came a few days ago that Ed. was stricken at Lancaster we held out a hope for his recovery, and when the message followed so quickly announcing his death we were unprepared to receive the sad news.
He leaves to mourn his departure the following brothers and sisters: George F. of Patriot, Ohio; Albert L. of Parkersburg W. Va.; Mrs. Lutecia Copeland of Gallia, Ohio; Mrs. Mary McDaniel and Mrs. Ethie Jones of Columbus Ohio. Two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Payne and Mrs. Ina Jones, having preceded him into the life beyond.
While we with sorrowful hearts bid him farewell we cherish his memory with a fond hope that we shall meet him again where parting shall be no more.

Death of Mrs. Guy Carter
Mrs. Guy V. Carter, sister of Probate Judge Gates, died at her home in Tuscola, Ill., Sunday, July 18, 1909, aged 65 years. While she had been in poor health for some time, her condition was not regarded as critical and her death was a shock to her relatives and friends. She was the daughter of David and Mahala Gates and was born in Walnut township, April 24, 1844 being one of 13 children of whom the survivors are: F.S. Gates, Perry, of Hayes, Ill.; Robert of Tolono, Ill.; Howard, of Champaign, Ill.; John of Iowa; Mrs. Minerva Eakin, of Patriot; Mrs. Anna Howell, Mrs. Allie Berger, of Hayes; Miss Irene Gates of Patriot. Of Mrs. Carter the Tuscola Review says in part:
Mr. and Mrs. Carter have been residents of Douglas county almost continuously since 1861, living on their farm near Hayes until about ten years ago, when they retired from active business life to enjoy the fruit of their earlier years of toil. Their genial hospitality and true friendliness attracted to their home a large circle of friends, who will grieve deeply over the going of one whom they had learned to love, and who will be greatly missed. The funeral services were held this (Wednesday) afternoon from her late home and were conducted by Rev. McFadden. Her three daughters arrived, one on Monday and the others on Tuesday, but the two sons who live in the west were not able to get here in time for the funeral services.

Carter, Luther J.
Luther Carter, Aged 55, Died Here Sunday
Had Made Unusual Record As State Employee
Funeral Here 3 Tuesday
Luther J. Carter succumbed to a long and distressing illness at 2:20 Sunday afternoon at the Holzer Hospital. Though most of his adult years had been spent at the Boys Industrial School at Lancaster, as the chief farmer of the institution's acres, this native son of Patriot was extensively acquainted in the county and he was very highly esteemed. Failing health dating back two years caused him to resign his position last April. He suffered from cancer and after mid-summer he was bedfast all the time. He was brought to the Holzer Hospital on October 3, not with any hope of overcoming or arresting the malignant ailment but a desire to make his last days as comfortable as possible. There was a decided turn for the worst late in the week, after which the family and their intimates knew the end was very near.
Once Worked Here
Decedent was born at Patriot, April 2, 1883, the older son of George F. and Nettie Womeldorff Carter. He spent his boyhood in that community but when quite young accepted a position at the O. H. E. From that institution he went to the Athens State Hospital and then to B. I. S. in 1905. When he resigned his post he was, in point of service (30 years), the oldest member of the staff, though his age was but 55 years, and during that period had never been absent from duty except for the regular vacations.
Mr. Carter married Alfa Starner of Lancaster on May 29, 1920. Their wedlock was a happy one and to the last she remained at his side and lovingly ministered to his every need. He was a man of few diversions and his principal hobby was that of raising dogs, and as a dog fancier and breeder was widely known in his adopted county and central Ohio,
There survive, besides the wife and father, his step-mother, two sisters, Mrs. Clarence Brumfield of this city and Miss Parnie Carter of Patriot, and a brother, Fred, who lives on Luther's farm on Sandfork beyond Patriot.
This sketch would be wholly inadequate without some reference to the unusually strong attachment between the now bereaved father and this son. They reveled in each other's companionship, and as a result each visited the other at frequent intervals and between visits there was a steady outgoing and incoming of messages to keep the filiation unfailing and admirably warm and glowing. But Luther was not merely a favorite of his father but of the whole family circle and of other circles that knew him well.
Funeral services will be conducted at Grace M. E. church at 3 o'clock Tuesday, with Rev. W. Scott Westerman in charge. The body will lie in state in the church vestibule for two hours prior to the funeral time. Burial will be made in Mound Hill cemetery by A. E. Tope. For pallbearers these fellow employees of the decedent at the Industrial School have been chosen: Glen Devore, Tom Rees, Norman McCloud, Glenn Rittgers, R. B. Stevers, Lester Edwards.

Obituary of Mrs. Carter
Came to Nashua in 1853 and Lived in Log House Where Nashua Feed Mill Is Now Located
Phoebe Ripley, the third child of David and Easter Ripley, was born October 5, 1825, in Gallia county, Ohio, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jake Jones, near Carrville, on Monday, March 16, 1925, at the age of 99 years, 5 months and 11 days.
In April, 1845, she was married to Wm. B. Carter, in Gallia county, O. In the spring of 1853 she and her family came west, built their first home, a log house, on the banks of the Cedar river where the Nashua mill now stands. Later they moved to their home farm on the Charles City road, where her children grew to manhood and womanhood. The children are: Addie Carter, who preceded her in death in the spring of 1914; Marion, of Toledo, Wash.; Alice Bumgardner, of Charles City; Bowen, of Birch Tree, Mo.; Julia Rawson, of Ackley, Minn.; Olive Sperbeck, of Nashua; David and Lorenzo D., of Charles City; William of Appleton, Minn.; George of Charles City, and Arminta Jones of Nashua. Her husband died about thirty-four years ago.
For many years she had made her home with her children, spending most of the last eighteen years with her daughter, Mrs. Jones, at whose home she died.
She first united with the Baptist church at Cherokee, later uniting with the Baptist church in Nashua. Grandma Carter, as she was most commonly called, though living the life of a pioneer, had many blessings in the last lap of her journey; such as good health, good eyesight, mentally strong, able to do the common things of life up until the last year. About Christmas time she began to fail, being able to be up only part of each day. A few days ago she was taken with bronchitis and in her weakened condition it caused her death.
Besides her children she leaves thirty-four grandchildren, numerous great grandchildren, and a number of great great grandchildren, also one sister, Mrs. Julia Johnson, who is still young and active at 88 years of age.
| It matters not the time of year. It matters not the day. It always leaves an aching heart. When mother's gone for aye. |
[Note: She is buried at Riverton CE. in Iowa. Phoebe Ripley Carter's grandparents, Joshua and Rhoda Ripley, were early arrivals to Gallia County and are buried at Ripley CE. William B. Carter was a son of Isaac and Alice (Armstrong) Carter.]

Carter, Sallie (Amos)
A woman "whose price was far above rubies" has gone out from among us. Mrs. Thomas Carter departed this life at Patriot, Ohio, July 20, 1894, full of years and of good works.
She was a daughter of Asa and Nancy Amos and was born in Shenandoah County, Virginia October 27, 1819, was married at the age of 16 to Thomas Carter of Gallia County, Ohio, and became the mother of thirteen children: H.C. Carter, Gallipolis; F.M. Carter, Patriot; C.W. Carter, Cadmus; Chas. W. Carter, Patriot; Mrs. Harvey Ripley, Patriot; Mrs. J.S. Roach, Waverly; Mrs. Ed Ecker, Gallipolis; Mrs. Joseph Wagner, Oakland, Maryland. A sorrowing husband who waits but till the short remnant of his earthly pilgrimage be accomplished that he may join her in the "Better Land" and eight children mourn her loss and will not be comforted.
Mrs. Carter was a kind and loving mother, devoted wife, and a sincere friend. In health she studied and practiced the teaching of God's word and in sickness she bore her suffering with meek and uncomplaining resignation, saying simply and mildly, "His Will be Done."

Carter, William
CARTER-On the morning of July 18, 1889, at his residence in Harrison Tp., this county. William Carter passed quietly and peacefully away at the advanced age of 83 years. The inception of his infirmities was several years ago and allopathy proved to be no alterative, and his health has been impaired gradationally. Two weeks previous to his death he was prostrated with that sudden and lamentable disease, paralysis, which claimed him as its victim. All that was in human aid to do was done by kind and attentive friends to alleviate his sufferings, but revivification was impossible, and responsive to the Master's call his spirit took flight to the haven of eternal rest.
He was born in Virginia, Feb. 16, 1806, and emigrated to this county with his parents when quite young, and as can be perceived has passed through the vicissitudes from early pioneer life up to the present. His advent here was weird and incidental. It afforded him great pleasure to relate his adventures in early life. The country then was sparsely settled, and abounded with wild game, and was the huntsman's paradise. He had participated in many exciting chases. He was hospitable and a father to the needy, and his social qualities and genial disposition gained him many friends. He advocated the Union cause in the late war, but his age disqualified him from service, but he furnished two sons for the Union army. He attached himself to the M. E. Church many years ago and remained a faithful member to the last. Six sons and two daughters survive him, and are left to mourn their irretrievable loss.
| The eye that shuts in a dying hour Will open the next in bliss; The welcome will sound in the heavenly world Ere the farewell is hushed in this; We pass from the clasp of mourning friends To the arms of the loved and lost; And those smiling faces will greet us there Which on earth we valued most. E. L. |
[Note: William Carter was a son of John and Mary (Lahr) Carter arriving in Gallia County from the Shenandoah Valley area in the early 1800's. He married Caroline P. Halley in 1829 in Gallia County. Both are buried at Patriot CE.]

Cavin, Clarissa
Death of Mrs. Clarissa Cavin
Mrs. William or Clarissa Cavin, the oldest female, resident, perhaps, in town or county, passed away peacefully to her eternal home, on last Friday evening, January 4, 1889, at the hour of 6 o’clock, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Hobson McClurg of this city.
Mrs. Cavin’s maiden name was Clarissa LeClare. Her parents came here with the second installment of emigrants from France, in the early days of the settlement of Gallipolis by the French. Clarissa was the seventh of seven daughters, born inside the old Fort on the Public Square, August 30, 1797, and was consequently, well advanced in her 92nd year. Mrs. Adelaide Maguet, who died last March, lacking but 18 days of 100 year was a sister, and Mrs. Lewis Denney, of near Porter, this county, is now the only surviving sister, Mr. Wm. Cavin, her husband, to whom she was married when but fifteen years old, died 43 years ago. By him she became the mother of thirteen children, seven of whom were reared to an adult age, Daniel, William, Lewis, Frank, Louise, Mary and Eliza. Four of these are yet living---Mrs. Louise Baltzell of Mt. Vernon, Ill. And William Cavin, Mrs. Zachariah Denney, and Mrs. Hobson McClurg. Twenty three grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild survive her also. The last, Guy Tippens, son of Mr. Jas. Tippens, is seven years old.
Mrs. Cavin always resided here. After the death of her husband, she lived with her son Frank, on the corner of Third and Cedar Streets, until he died in 1877, and since then most of the time she has lived with her daughter, Mrs. McClurg. About four years ago, she received a slight paralytic stroke, which affected nearly all of her senses and general health to a greater or lesser extent, and it may be said that she has been in constant failing health ever since. She was a very remarkable woman in many respects. She had been a member of the M.E. Church for half a century and was devoted to her bible and Christian duties. She was extremely industrious and looked with disfavor on those who were not. She was an agreeable companion and an eminently good woman.
Her funeral services were conducted at her late residence at 3:30PM Sunday, by Rev. M.V.B. Euans. Her burial was conducted by Hayward & Sons at the old cemetery. It will not be long until the link is broken which binds our people with those sterling characters, that came here and planted the seeds of civilization on the banks of the Ohio a hundred years ago. It excites our feeling as they are called one by one to join the great majority that are buried in the past. Peace be with them.

Chapline, John
A SUDDEN DEATH.
On the 27th of April, 1859, JOHN CHAPLINE came to his death, on the farm of the Rev. J. D. Ray, in Harrison township, Gallia county, Ohio, by the falling of a tree, which struck him on the head and back, and produced instant death. This melancholy catastrophe has been followed by lamentation and astonishment throughout the neighborhood and community in which he resided. The deceased was a young man, generally respected for his good behavior, and for his peaceful, quiet and orderly manner of life. It was truly said of him by one of his neighbors, that "he died without an enemy." He was suddenly cut off in the flower of his youth, being in the fifteenth year of his age. Serious and thoughtful, upright in his conversation and deportment, and being much given to prayer and the reading of the Scriptures, it is fondly hoped that the germ of spiritual life was implanted within him by the spirit of Christ, and that it now buds and blooms in the life and immortality of the heavenly world. His mortal remains were conveyed to Rome township in Lawrence county, Ohio, and were deposited with the dust of his kindred until the judgment of the great day.
John Chapline was the only son of John and Matilda Chapline, deceased, late of the township, county and State just referred to. He and a younger sister were put under our care nearly six years ago, by Col. Lewis Anderson and Mr. Jacob Proctor, their legal guardians. They are dear in us, and it is like spilling our heart's blood to part with them. With wounded spirits we mourn over the sad calamity that has befallen our beloved boy amidst the charms of youth and the pleasing anticipations which he so fondly cherished in regard to the pleasures and prospects of this life. But severe as is this sudden and unexpected calamity, we desire to pray for submission to the will of God, and to say to Him with penitent and believing hearts: "Not my will, but thine be done."
This melancholy occurrence will be deeply felt and lamented by his surviving sisters, his brother-in-law, his guardians, and by other numerous relatives and friends. The light of the Chapline family is probably extinguished by the untimely death of this only son.

James L. Clark
James L. Clark, 100, passed away Monday, March 29, 1999 at the Hill View Retirement Center in Portsmouth, where he lived since 1981.
Born February 26, 1899, on a farm in Adams County, Ohio, he walked six miles to school in Seaman. At age 9, he (along with eight brothers and sisters) was left an orphan, when both his parents died within weeks of each other. The nine siblings were "farmed out" to relatives.
A patriot at heart, he left for Cincinnati to enlist in the Marine Corps just 11 days after the U. S. entered the World War in 1917. By the time he should have received his high school diploma, he was already in France with the American Expeditionary Forces, under General John I. Pershing. He was with the famous "Fighting Fourth" Brigade as they led the Allied Armies in decisive battles, culminating in the breakthrough at Belleau Wood, where historians declare "the tide was turned" in World War I.
On June 6, 1918, his unit surrounded, he was dispatched back to headquarters with an SOS. Gravely wounded, he crawled over two kilometers through enemy territory to deliver the message for help. For gallantry in action and bravery under fire, despite severe wounds suffered in battle, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross and the Purple Heart. The commander of the French Armies decorated him with the "Croix de Guerre" for his courageous exploits, and when he returned to his home state of Ohio, then-Governor Harry C. Davis made him a Brevet Captain in the Ohio National Guard for his bold acts of heroism.
He worked his through Ohio State University, earning a degree in agriculture. While at OSU, he helped found the "Zero Hour Club" for disable World War I veterans---to promise patriotism and loyalty to their Country. In his senior year, he was selected to lay the wreath at the dedication of Ohio Stadium in 1922.. This past January, the French Republic names him Chevalier of the National Order of the Legion of Honor, the highest honor bestowed by France on foreign nationals.
He served public education in Medina, Morrow and Jackson counties, ending his 26 -year career as executive head of Rio Grande School in Gallia County. He went on to a second career as an examiner for Auditor of State Jim Rhodes, auditing public accounts for another 15 years.
Active in the Methodist Church, he helped found Camp Francis Asbury in Gallia County. He was a Life Member of the American Legion and long-time member of the Masonic orders.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Beatrice Wilcox Clark.
Surviving are a daughter, Anne Clark (John) Foltz of Columbus, a grandson, Dr. John Charles (Barbara) Foltz, great-grandsons, John and James of Moscow, Idaho; a granddaughter, Dr. Mary Beth (Brad) Arensberg, and a great-grandson, Mark of Columbus.
Memorial services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 3, 1999 in the Hill View Retirement Center, 1610-28th Street, Portsmouth, Ohio, 45662, with Dr. Robert Mussman officiating. Interment will be in the Vinton Memorial Park. Arrangements are by the F. C. Daihler Mortuary Company, 915-Ninth Street, Portsmouth.

Probate Judge James S. Clark
Able Public Servant Passes In 74th Year After Long Illness
Elected Auditor Twice and Seven Times as Probate Judge
--Judge White Assumes New Duties for Time Being.
About 1 o'clock this morning death ended the remarkable career of Judge James Stephen Clark at his home, 345 Fourth Ave. He had been unconscious for a couple of days, but his illness had been hopeless for several months, at least.
Judge Clark held office in this county longer than anyone else known to the present generation. He knew more people in the county, knew more about the people of the county and had more warm friends among them probably than anyone else ever had.
Loved to Serve
His death has taken from them wise counsellor, a capable and hard working official -- one who in years ahead will become a legendary figure. He possessed an amazing capacity for hard and exacting work together with a willingness and an eagerness to be of service to all who came to his office or home to seek advice or favors. Judge Clark had a remarkable career in business before he started on a more remarkable political and official career.
He was 73 years old last March, having been born in Clay Township in 1869. He was a son of Amos and Frances Riggs Clark prominent and outstanding in the closing decades of the last century. James S. finished his education at the Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio and Eastman Business College in New York. Associated with widely known firm of Graham, Clark and Riggs (made up of his kinfolk) he engaged in the produce business and operated flatboats between this sector and New Orleans. Later he was in the cold storage business in Milwaukee.
On June 2, 1897, he and Ethel McDaniel of the same community were united in marriage. Eleven years later James S. Clark, then a vigorous and aggressive man but not extensively acquainted in his native county, was nominated and elected County Auditor. He served two terms and in 1916 he was elected probate judge and entered upon his duties the following Feb. 9. Each quadrennium thereafter he was reelected, meeting opposition at first but finally winning the characterization of being "invincible".
Rites on Tuesday
Funeral services for Judge J.S. Clark will be held at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening at the funeral home of George J. Wetherholt & Sons. Rev. J.L. Stephenson will officiate, as decedent's pastor, Rev. W. Scott Westerman, is in Michigan. Interment will be made in Mound Hill Cemetery.
Friends may view the features there after 2 o'clock Sunday p.m.
Thursday, a prominent Columbus lawyer here on business, said "Judge Clark is undoubtedly one of the ablest probate judges in Ohio, even if he is not a lawyer." And it is no secret that many southern Ohio probate judges consulted him frequently about legal and official problems.
Working side by side with him during his official career has been Mrs. Clark, who has demonstrated a capacity for public service and for making friends comparable to his.
Illness at last overtaking him, Judge Clark left his office last November (missing section) surgical skill could do to cure or greatly relieve him. He suffered much and had become extremely emaciated. Three nurses had helped to care for him during the latter part of his invalidism.
Judge Clark is survived by, besides his devoted wife, a daughter, Mrs. Frank E. Wetherholt; two grandchildren, Frank Clark Wetherholt and Judy Weatherholt and one sister, Mrs. Mary Ewing, all of Gallipolis.
Judge Clark was a member of the Methodist Church and he was a Shriner, Knight Templar, 32nd Degree Mason, an Elk and Eastern Star.
Judge Clark was a man of diversified interests. Persons active in local politcs recognized him as one of the shrewdest and most resourceful the county has known.

LIFE'S WORK IS ENDED SUDDENLY
Memorial Tribute to a Good Citizen, Friend and Neighbor
Noah S. Clark
The following obituary was read at the funeral services of the late Noah S. Clark at Mt. Zion Baptist Church on Monday, October 28, 1929.
Saturday morning, Oct. 26th, when the sad news was passed from neighbor to neighbor that Noah Sylvester Clark had passed away, so great was the shock that it was thought by many to be a mistake. He had been ill but a short time and his recovery seemed certain to everyone. But a visit to the bereaved home verified the message.
Mr. Clark was the son of the late Lewis D. and Maria (Neal) Clark. He was born in Harrison Township, Gallia County, Ohio, April 2, 1863, being at the time of his death 66 years, 6 months and 24 days of age.
In early manhood he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Gothard, who with one son, Clarence Donovan, preceded him beyond several years ago.
Two daughters, Mrs. Eva Small, Bladen, Ohio; Mrs. Jennie F. Dewitt, Eureka, Ohio; two sons, Lawrence Davis of Columbus, Ohio and Noah Thurman, Bladen, Ohio, together with seven grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Effie Archer, Irwin, Ohio; Mrs. Della F. Bodimer, Eureka, Ohio; two brothers, John of Eureka and Mr. Lieu D. Clark of Springfield, Ohio and his wife, Mrs. Lena Grove Clark to whom he was married April 2, 1905, are left to mourn the loss of a kind father, grandfather, brother and companion.
Mr. Clark was a member of the Swan Creek M.E. Church for a number of years, a Charter member of Council No. 142 Junior Order United American Mechanics of Bladen, also a member of Council 114 Daughters of America of Gallipolis, Ohio.
Noah, as he was known by his innumerable friends, relatives and neighbors, both old and young, has for the past thirty-nine years operated a freight and passenger route from Swan Creek to Gallipolis and during the past several years he has carried the United States Mail.
His first mode of travel was a hack drawn by mules, after the more modern mode of travel was established he operated a motor truck, known to everyone as "Noah's Ark". The day was never too cold or stormy for him to postpone his trip or the commodity too small for him to purchase. During this period of his life on the road he missed but two days due to illness.
As time went on, the public demanded a more efficient mode of travel, he immediately arose to this demand with the organization of the first passenger bus line from Huntington to Gallipolis and later to Parkersburg. In this enterprise he took great pride.
His days of labor came to an end when God called him to lay all burdens aside. No more to hear his familiar whistle and say "Here comes Noah". He has gone to meet Him who giveth the Eternal Life in those who believe upon His name.

Mrs. Clendinen Succumbs Friday To Long Illness
Rites Set For 10 [o'clock] Monday
At Entsminger's
Following a stroke just a week ago, an end to the suffering she had bravely endured during a long period of declining health came to Mrs. Anna S. Clendinen Friday at about 3:30 p.m. in Holzer Hospital, where she had been a patient at four different times during recent months.
Always a woman of great strength, energy and endurance, her last days of helplessness became all the more tragic to those who had known her best down through the years. And it is with the thought that she is saved the pain and unhappiness that her condition would bring that these are most comforted.
Harrison Township Native.
Mrs. Clendinen was the daughter of the late Charles and Missouri McCall Stuart and was born on Lincoln Ridge in this county April 1, 1868 or 77 years ago. While a girl her father became Sheriff of Gallia County, when the county jail was located in what is now the City Hall and later the family lived in a home built by her father, now known as that of Mrs. Lewis C. Dean.
Ever since her marriage to J. William Clendinen in 1898 she had lived in the old Clendinen home at the corner of Sycamore Street and Fourth Avenue. There she reared her son and only child, former City Manager, Stewart A. Clendinen, presiding over the household as a model mother, neighbor and friend. Her husband preceded her in death several years ago.
During her active years and they were exceedingly active ones until she was well into her seventies, Mrs. Clendinen had taken a prominent part in the affairs of the Order of Eastern Star and had served the local chapter as a Worthy Matron. She was also affiliated with the American Legion and the Methodist Church.
A long standing and emphatic request of Mrs. Clendinen was that flowers be omitted at her funeral rites.
Surviving besides the son, who has been a great comfort to her are these three sisters; Mrs. America Townsend, Schenectady, NY; Mrs. Rachel Cangney, Port Clinton, Ohio and Mrs. Gertrude Richards, Royal Oak, MI. Also two grandchildren, William Stewart and Larry Clendinen.
Funeral services will be held Monday at 10 a.m. in the Entsminger Funeral Home with Rev. W. Scott Westerman officiating and burial following in Mound Hill Cemetery.

Cobb, Lilly
COBB-Lilly Cobb, aged 12 years, the adopted daughter of Columbus and Eva Waugh, since she was 5 years old, being at that age left an orphan by her father, Lewis Cobb, getting drowned. Her mother, who is a sister of Bro. Waugh, one brother, and three sisters still survive her. She was afflicted for three weeks with brain disease, and everything was done for her that medical skill and attentive friends could furnish; but the dreaded enemy claimed her as his victim, and she quietly fell asleep in Jesus, at 10 o'clock p.m. Dec. 2, 1889.
"Shug" as she was called, was the pride and great delight of Bro. and Sister Waugh, they having no children of their own. She was a very dutiful and charming little girl, never known to disobey in anything she was told to do, and it does seem hard from a natural view that they should be deprived of the only child and great joy of their household. But, as "we only see through a glass darkly" now, it will never be till we meet our loved ones on the happy golden shore that we can fully comprehend and appreciate these sad dispensation of kind Providence, and see that God know best. She was one of those amiable little girl that had only to be seen to be appreciated and loved. She was a great favorite with all who knew her; she was blessed with a bright intellect and was one of the leading scholars in all her studies at school, and was universally loved and respected by her teachers and companions. She took great delight in recitations and was one of the leading features in our Sunday-school exhibitions, and was the delight of all who heard her.
Her remains were taken to the Providence Church, and her funeral was preached by the pastor, Rev. N.B. Burnett, from Cor.,15:26, in the presence of a large congregation of relatives, friends and schoolmates. The corpse, which seemed to have a plesant smile on the face, as though in sweet sleep, was then viewed by the entire audience, and such universal grief for the departed, and deep sympathy for the bereaved family, it has never been my privilege to witness. She was then laid away in the Providence Cemetery. May her memory still live and be another tie to draw our affections heavenward.
Dear uncle and aunt, she loved so well, |

Coleman, Caroline
Mrs. Caroline Coleman, one of the oldest lady residents of this city, and widely known and respected for her man noble attributes of character, departed this life at about ten o'clock, last Saturday morning, at the residence of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cochrane.
Mrs. Coleman was for so many years a prominent figure before our people that a brief outline of her history cannot but be interesting to our readers. She was the daughter of Commodore Samuel Swain and wife and was the seventh daughter among eight sisters and four brothers. She was born on the Island of Nantucket, Mass., her parents removing to Lawrence county, this State, in October, 1814, and from there to this place, the year following, where she has resided almost continually ever since.
She was married to Mr. S. H. Coleman November 22, 1832 in Teay's Valley, W.Va., where she was teaching school, at the residence of Mr. Charles Miller, father of Mr. J. H. Miller, now living at Five Mile, in the Kanawha Valley. By this union she became the mother of five children, two of whom, Mrs. Helen Cochrane and Mrs. Kate Williamson, of this city, survive her. Out of the eight sisters and four brothers, only a sister, Mrs. Susan Baxter, who will reach her 83d year next March, survives her.
In 1852, Mr. Coleman, her husband, moved to Ironton and opened the Ironton House, and died there April 27, 1853. The family returned here soon after his death and have resided here without interruption ever since. Mr. Coleman was elected Sheriff of Gallia county in 1834, from Raccoon township, being a member of the old Ridgeway family at the time. He was a saddler by trade, but for many years was proprietor of the Our House on Front street, that in its day was the leading hostelrie of this section. In this connection he and Mrs. Coleman made a wide and favorable acquaintance and are not yet forgotten by many old residents of towns and cities all over the State. After the family returned from Ironton following Mr. Coleman's death, Mrs. Coleman opened a boarding house which has been the home and abiding place of many of the old residents, of this city, during their lives, among them being the editor of the Journal, to whom she was ever a warm friend and mother and who will miss her with the same grief and sorrow as nearer members of her household.
Mrs. Coleman was a woman of more than ordinary ability, taking great interest in the political and important affairs of her country which she patriotically revered. Her memory was excellent and was the means of making her always interesting company to both old and young, the wise and the uninformed. She was eminently charitable and no person was ever turned unfed or unclothed from her door if these necessities were required. Besides her own family she raised three children who were not her own among them Mr. Wm. Ferguson, now with Capt. John M. Alexander, who looked upon her as a mother, and whom Mrs. Coleman had great affection for. During the war for the Union, Mrs. Coleman's heart, as ever, was found to be in the right place, and went out in great sympathy and enthusiasm for those who enlisted in their country's cause, and many were her deeds of kindness to them, for which she will never be forgotten in this world nor in the next. She was very industrious, economical and discreet and had accumulated considerable property. Being a Quakeress by faith, she possessed in a marked degree all of those respected virtues pertaining to that sect. For the last twenty years she has not kept house, but made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Robt. Cochrane. For fifteen years, she has been to a greater or less extent an invalid, and during the whole of that time has received every filial devotion due an idolized mother from an affectionate family.
About three weeks ago, she began to succumb rapidly to the demands of age, but did not take to her bed until the first of last week. Her death was painless and she passed away in sleep, being fully conscious at six o'clock on the morning of her death and dropping to sleep awakened in another, happier and more enduring world. She passed her 80th mile-stone Oct. 10, 1888, and went to her Creator full of years and with a well spent life to receive the reward of a Saviour's love. Her funeral services were conducted by Rev. John Moncure, at St. Peters Episcopal Church at 3:30 p.m., Monday, in the presence of a large and sympathizing congregation, after which her remains were laid away by Hayward & Sons, in the old cemetery by the side of her husband. May she ever be remembered in kindness by those who knew her.

Craft, James David
| A precious one from us has gone A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled The boon his love had given. And Though the body slumbers here The soul is safe in Heaven. |
James David Craft was born August 18, 1860 in Alleghany, County, Virginia to William and Sarah Ann Plymale Craft and departed this life Sunday morning, June 20, 1948 at home at the age of 87 years, 10 months, 2 days.
He was united in marriage July 4, 1886 to Alpha D. Rucker in Gallia County. To this union five children were born. One son preceded him in death as did his wife who died in August, 1924. Also three brothers and two sisters preceded him in death.
The surviving children are: Mrs. Mamie Brumfield of Galion, Ohio, Mrs. Irene Neal of Gallipolis, Ohio, Mrs. Lelia Cornell and Hobart Craft of Gallipolis Route. He also leaves one sister, Mrs, Mary Rose of Urbana, Ohio and a brother, George E. Craft of Gallipolis, in addition to 18 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren of which he was very proud.
He accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior in early life, and was united with the Crown City Church, later changing his membership to the Ohio Chapel Methodist Church. He had positive convictions and always stood by them but never lacked respect and friendship for those who differed with him. Mr. Craft was a farmer by trade but was always willing to deliver the word of God.
He was ordained as a minister in August 1937. He was kind hearted and tender in spirit, and had the respect and confidence of all who knew him. He will be remembered to old and young alike as "Uncle Dave" as he was commonly called. From our point of view we should say he did much good to mankind but the one for whom he preached said "It is enough, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou unto the joys of the Lord".
I cannot say and will not say that he is dead. He is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, he wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair needs must be since he lingers there. Think of him still as the same I say: He is not dead- He is just away.

In Memory
Frank Craig, eldest son of John and Sarah Gothard Craig was born near Bladen, Ohio, October 28, 1881, departed this life at the Holzer Hospital at 2 a.m. on December 11, 1929, aged 48 years, 1 month and 13 days.
He was united in marriage with Ola Elliott, September 24, 1904 and to this union were born five children, Anna Modene, who died in early childhood; John William, Lawrence, Frances and Orva, who are left to mourn the loss of a loving father. He also leaves his aged mother, two brothers, Arthur and Raymond, both of Bladen and two sisters, Mrs. Chauncey Wise of Raccoon Island, Ohio and Grace at home.
He was sick only a few days and his death came as a shock to the community where he has spent his entire life. He expressed himself saying that he would not recover; but gave himself up to the One who doth all things well. Only a few days of intense suffering, anxiously watched and cared for by those dearest, who did all mortal hands could and he passed beyond human help or need of help. One great consolation to his family is that while yet conscious he repeated these words, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." Though separated here on earth the loved ones can be united in a home above.
He was a charter member of Bladen Lodge No.953, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, ever a faithful and loyal brother.
Though father's voice is hushed and still, remember his kind words of council still lives as a lightpost to guide us over the rough road of life. Our father's step, our father's kiss will never greet us more.

Besides her husband and daughter she leaves one sister, Mrs. Clarence (Opal) Jones, Gallipolis, Ohio, one step-mother (Edith Slack Cremeans) of Belle, W. Va. , and many other relatives and friends. Her father, mother, one brother and one sister preceded her in death.
For many weeks Elsie fought bravely to regain her health, and all that loving hands and medical skill could do was done for her, but to no avail. During her long illness she never murmured or complained. She was a devout wife and mother living not for her own interest but for the interest of her loved ones. She longed to go back to her home in Illinois but God saw fit to take her from her suffering and she died at the home of her mother-in-law in Addison who so tenderly helped to care for her.

Cremeens, Margaret Hively
George Cremeens, son of Eureka and Nancy Cremeens, was born June 5, 1865, and passed away at his home in Addison January 8, 1947, aged 81 years, 7 months and 3 days.
His wife, Margaret Hively, daughter of Sarah Jane and John Hively, was born in Harrison Township, Gallia County, March 4, 1877; aged 69 years, 10 months, 5 days, passed away suddenly just 28 hours after her husband. She is survived by one brother, Randal Hively, of Huntington, and one sister, Mrs. Andrews Cremeens, of Huntington.
They were united in marriage February 13, 1895, were baptized and united with the Baptist Church at the same time, and for fifty-two years shared life's sorrows and joys together. They leave to mourn their loss the following children: Victor of Addison; Bryan of Gallipolis; Mrs. Leslie Lemley, Cheshire R.D. They also leave nine grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends. Having sought and accepted their saviour when quite young, they lived devoted Christian lives; were members of the Addison Baptist Church, which they attended as long as health permitted.
Grandpa and Grandma were good neighbors, kind and devoted father and mother to their children and grand-children, and always found great pleasure in having them in their home.
| Shall we doubt our Father's mercy? Shall we think of death as doom? Or the stepping o'er the threshold To a bigger, brighter room? Shall we blame our Father's wisdom? Shall we sit enswathed in gloom When we know our lives are happy Waiting in the other room? |
Father had been in failing health for many months and bore it with great patience, while mother passed away very suddenly while busy in preparing for the return of her husband. Both trusted in Him who said, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am. there ye may be also." Our loss is great, yet may we submit to the Master's will and say, "They will be done."
We have met together, Dad, We recall when we were youngsters |
Now you've gone to be with Jesus, Over on the other shore, And to be with other loved ones Who have gone on long years before. Goodbye, Daddy, till we see you Over on the golden shore, where no parting words are spoken And goodbyes are said no more. |
How many weary, wakeful nights |
But the spirit of our mother |

IN MEMORY
Ina E. Fillinger Cremeens, daughter of A.M. and Rosetta Fillinger, was born Dec. 22, 1902; departed this life March 9, 1931, aged 28 years 2 months and 17 days of age.
She was united in marriage to Harold Cremeens, Oct 8, 1921. To this union two children were born, Marland, age 9 years, at home and an infant having preceded her to the Great Beyond. She leaves to mourn their loss her husband and son Marland, her father, mother, two brothers, Ferry of Leaper and Carl at home and six sisters, Wealthy Dewitt, Gallipolis; Gertie Swain, Leaper; Belva Jones, Crown City; Zenia, Audrey and Fern at home; one sister, Retha Tipton and one brother, Clarance Fillinger, having preceded her in death, and a host of relatives and friends.
Ina made her peace with God at the age of 18 years and left assurances with friends that her home is with God. All that human hands and loving hearts or human skill could do was done. She bore her suffering with Christian fortitude until the message of God came to take her home to Heaven. We weep not, because she is free from suffering and pain, but because we loved her and shall miss her so, for none knew her but to love her.
After years of toil for others The Lord took you from us, But in our saddest moments, |
Funeral services were conducted at the Mt. Pleasant Church by Rev. Ira Sheets with burial at Hopewell Cemetery under the direction of A.E. Tope.

Criner, James
In Loving Memory
Of James A. Criner, who departed this life May 24, 1905, aged 27 years, 3 months.
He was the son of William and Elizabeth Criner, the latter preceding him about five years ago. He was attending the Rio Grande College at the time of his death, had just finished a recitation at about 8 o'clock Wednesday, when he was suddenly seized with apoplexy. He went directly to his room at Mr. Shier's where he was found at 9:45 lying upon the floor unconscious. He never regained consciousness and passed away at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He was brought to his home on Thursday, and his funeral was preached at Mina Chapel Friday afternoon, by Rev. H.B. Lewis, the interment following at Mound Hill cemetery. His death was a great shock to all his relatives and friends. James was of a kind and gentle dispostion, loved and esteemed by all who knew him. He was converted and united with the M.E. church last winter during the revival at Rocky Hill, Jackson Co. O., and lived a faithful christian. When death enters our home and takes our loved
ones, it is hard to say God's will be done. He will be sadly missed by all his friends, but his soul will be at rest.
| A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. One more mound to watch and tend, One more grave to plant with flowers, One more angel up in heaven, Dwelling there amid Eden's bowers. Though we are so sad and lonely, And our souls in grief bow down, Yet we'll try to bear it meekly, Hoping we may wear a crown. The last goodby's are spoken, Poor James is laid away To rest within his narrow bed, To sleep till Judgment Day. Farewell James but not forever, We hope to meet on yonder shore, Where with loved ones thou art waiting, We will meet to part no more. A Friend |

IN MEMORY
Sarah Jane Crouse, who was born Aug. 24, 1873 and in the early morning of March 3, 1946, while the earth was yet wrapped in darkness and all was peaceful and serene she fell asleep in the arms of Jesus. She was 72 years, 6 months and 7 days.
She was a daughter of Alexander and Sarah Barcus. She was married to Charles E. Crouse in 1891, who with her father and mother preceded her in death several years ago.
The following children survive: Clark of Columbus, Ohio; Josuah and William H. of Gallipolis; Loamma of Bladen, Ohio and Nathan with whom she made her home. She had been in failing health for several years and unable to get about without help, but about 2 weeks previous to her death she had a fall from which she never recovered.
Though her suffering was great she bore it patiently, never complaining and when the end was near she remarked beautifully "Of the strength she received from on High".
She was a kind and devoted Mother and though we miss her from our midst here on earth, we feel "Our loss is Heaven's gain".
There are the following brothers: Robert Barcus of Eureka; Thomas and Stanley of Gallipolis; Truman of Columbus, Ohio; John and Ross of Bladen, Ohio. Also 11 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
Darling Mother since you left us Every place is dark and dreary We think we see you Mother dear When that morning breaks Eternal And dear Father up in Heaven |
