WAREN - On the 28th of November, 1881, in Ohio Township, of dropsy, Lelia Ellen , infant daughter of Marion L. and Emily F. Waren, aged 1 year, 9 months and 2 days.
The funeral was preached by Elder J. E. Caldwell, to a large congregation of relatives and friends, at Providence Church. The words of the text were "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." After service we followed the little corpse to the grave, its last resting place, in Providence burying ground, there to await the sound of the awakening trumpet on the resurrection morn. O, how hard it is for Pa and Ma to give up their loved one, but our Heavenly Father knows best, and we should submit to His holy will. This dear little infant was too pure to dwell on earth, so our Heavenly Father took it to live with Him in Heaven, where pain and sorrow is felt and feared no more. Then, father and mother, weep no more for little Lelia, for she is at rest with the angels in Heaven. Remember, that our Saviour said, Suffer the little ones to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Though you cannot call your little babe back, you can go to it. David said, with reference to his child, He shall not return to me, but I can go to him. Then give up little Lelia, Remember, the Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, and blessed be the name of the Lord.
| We loved this tender little one, And would have wished its stay, But let our Father's will be done, It shines in endless day. |
Mercerville, O. A.Clark

Warren, Rev. Andrew Jackson
The funeral at Mercerville Sunday of Rev. A. J. Warren, who died May 27, 1896, was largely attended, the house being crowded to its utmost capacity. Elder Warren was regarded as one of the best text preachers of his day. He was licensed to preach in 1842, and was pastor of several churches in W. Va., and nearly all the Baptist churches in the Gallia association.
Rev. John M. Kelley, of Ironton, a co-worker in the ministry with him, delivered the funeral sermon, choosing as his text Acts. 24:10. Rev. John M. Kelley is over 80 years old and his long frosty beard and hair and his tottering form reminded the hearers of one of the patriarchs of old, and led them to believe that he would soon join his life long friend on the other side.

Obituary
In Tender remembrance of a noble pioneer woman.
Ellen Long Warren, daughter of Anderson and Nancy McGate Long, who was born May 10, 1851 and departed this life March 6, 1948, aged 96 years, 9 months and 26 days.
She was united in marriage to Clark Warren, December 5, 1867 and to this union were born one son and 5 daughters. The son, John E. departed this life several years ago and also the oldest daughter Maggie Clark.
Almost a quarter of a century ago the father passed to the great beyond leaving four daughters to mourn the passing of the Mother, the girls are the twins, Ota and Ola, Mrs. Golda Glover of Chicago and Katie Gothard at home who has tenderly cared for her mother for 15 years.
There are also 10 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren besides a host of nieces, nephews and relatives of both the Long and Warren families. Also many neighbors and friends.
Aunt Ellen's life story is one of unusual interest for she was born in those rude, but good old times and she has seen many changes in life and living. Some of the happenings were sad, others were glad but she possessed that rare ability to be brave, happy, no matter what came along. With her hardy pioneer spirit she was soon the master of all situations.
When she was but 2 years old her mother called her three daughters, Eliza, Margaret and Ellen, to her dying bed and gave to each a shiny 50 cent piece. And today in her home there is a large old Bible purchased with Ellen's 50 cent. When she was only 9 death entered the home and the girls lost their father and were put under a guardian and for some time Ellen made her home with a Priestly who lived at that time at what we called the old Walker place on Route 7.
One of the events while there she was taking water to the men in the fields. she heard the clatter of horses hoofs and a bunch of Gray clad horsemen rode into view with sabers clanking and glittering in the sun. These were a small company of Morgan's men. She hid till they passed on.
When she became a bride she and her husband bought a farm back of Bladen and she lived there till age, ill health and inconvenient to be reached in winter forced her to leave.
But even then she took in the whole situation and realizing it was best seemed to not grieve. Yet she loved that place for it was here what she and her sons...[next few lines are missing] even work far into the night, for there were stockings and mittens or gloves to knit. Garments for all even the boys must be made many were sewed by hand and the cellar must be filled for food for the winter months.
But her little family were always warm, well fed, well clothed and happy and as an extra measure they all had a rare sense of humor and could see the pleasant side of almost any situation.
Aunt Ellen wasn't slow in making her decisions and carrying them out and it was almost uncanny how near she came to being right in her decisions.
But in the labor of every day living and caring for her loved ones she did not forget there was a future that must be met and that one day we must all die and after that the judgement and almost 60 years ago she was converted and united with the Providence Baptist Church and followed the example of her Savior and was buried with him in baptism and though deprived of attending church she kept the faith and surely she must have pleased her maker along life's pathway for did he not say, "With long life, I will bless thee."
| No, not cold beneath the grasses, Not closed-walled within the tomb Rather in my father's mansion Living in another room. Shall I doubt my Father's mercy Shall I think of death as doom Or the stepping o'er the threshold To a bigger, better, brighter room. Shall I blame my Father's wisdom Shall I sit enswathed in gloom When I know my mother is happy Waiting in another room? |

Warth, Robert
Mr. Robert Warth, the subject of this notice, died in this city, November 19th, 1868, aged 73 years and 10 months. He was born in Marietta, January, 1795—his father was killed by the Indians on the 10th of May, 1794. He was selected by Mr. Joseph Holden, a prominent merchant of Marietta, as an active, promising youth, taken into his store where he remained until his friend and patron associated him in business, establishing a firm in Gallipolis, 1817, which co-partnership existed about fourteen years—and it is due to his memory to say that as long as he continued merchandising exclusively, he prospered and gained wealth in an unexampled manner.
Subsequently, by misplaced confidence and the interested advice of various persons, he was induced to largely extend his business by the purchase and erection of mills, build and run steamboats, and to open new stores in various places, in all of which, he found himself irretrievably ruined, and the profits of his early industry and thrift sacrificed to pay the losses in all his after speculations. He leaves a widow, four sons and a daughter, to mourn his demise.

Washington, Mary
Death
Of Mary Washington, an ex-slave of the Nephew of George Washington and a Prominent Colored Woman of this City.
Mary Washington, aged 97 years, died at her residence on Third Avenue Friday afternoon at three o’clock from infirmities incident to old age. Aunt Mary, as she was known to most everyone in this city, was a fine old colored lady who had helped raise a number of our prominent citizens and whose death will be deplored, though she was anxious to go to her last resting place. She was born way back in 1810 and for some time was the slave of Dr. Lawrence Washington of Winchester, Va., who finally released her from bondage and she came to this city and lived with the Pitrat family for a number of years. It was in the early 30’s that she arrived in this city and from that time until almost the time of her death she had been employed as a faithful and trusted servant of most of our prominent families, having been with the Pitrats’, Narets’, Millers’, Langleys’, Baers’, Henkings’, and numerous others. Aunt Mary was taken ill about a week ago and it was soon seen that she could not survive. Many of the children who she had nursed, when notified of the approaching end, were in attendance upon her and everything possible was done to make the final struggle as peaceful as possible.
She was a faithful member of the A.M.E. Church and had been a Methodist for over fifty years. She requested that her funeral be held at the A.M.E. Church. To the last her memory was exceedingly active and her energy and wonderful memory for a person of that advanced age have been much commented upon. While in bondage she had two children, a son and a daughter, who were taken to Texas by Dr. Washington. The son alone survives as does another daughter, Ella Gray of this city, who was born after she was set free.
The funeral services will be held at the A.M.E. church Sunday afternoon at two o’clock by the Rev. Simmons. Interment will be at Pine street cemetery by Hayward.

Of a quiet retiring disposition, a great reader, those who knew her best loved her most. Can tongue speak higher eulogy?
| In the family Bible was found this poem which had been marked as a favorite. And when my feet have touched the shore, Let me not fear; But have the thought still more and more That God is near. Let me not fear the lifted sea, the chilling tide, But feel that love is waiting me on The other side. To feel the enrapturing presence there. |

Rocking In Chair Little Girl Thrust Forward While Father, C. C. Watson, Is In Adjoining Room
At Home At Head of Sandfork
The story of a frightful tragedy comes out of Guyan tp. Wandalee Ileen Watson, oldest of the three small children of Mr. and Mrs. Craft C. Watson, fell into an open fireplace late Saturday afternoon, receiving burn that caused her death at 4:30 Sunday afternoon. Her age was but six years and two months.
Sitting in a rocking chair before a grate fire and rocking vigorously, her chair finally tilted too far, hurling her head on into the fire, with the back of the chair atop her body. She screamed and her father darted in from the kitchen, pulled her from the fireplace and beat out the flames that were consuming her clothing. But before the flames were subdued her face, chest, hands and arms were badly burned. She was taken to Crown City for medical attention but died at her home near the head of Sandfork, on the Will Harbour farm.
Besides the bereaved parents—the mother is a sister of D. C. Landthorn of Bladen, there also survive a sister and a brother, Thelma May and Cecil G. Watson.

James Watts was born in Greenbrier county, Va., August 12, 1805, and died at his home, in Green Township, Gallia county, Ohio, August 2, 1885, where he had resided forty-nine years.
He came to Gallia county in 1810 and has been identified with all of her interests during his eventful life. At the age of sixteen he joined the M. E. Church and was happily converted at a camp meeting held in Pocahontas county, Va. In all of his relations to the church of his choice as class leader, steward and private member he kept in view the prize at the end of the row, which he met with a degree of firmness that was consoling to his many friends, saying "he was ready and waiting and longed to be at rest and to join his numerous friends on the other shore."
In 1830 he was married to Miss Margaret Waddell, daughter of the Rev. James Waddell, who passed away in holy triumph in 1858. They were the parents of thirteen children, six of whom have passed on before. December 25, 1862, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Mossman. She with their three children are left lonely at the old homestead to await the call of the Master. May they be ready.
For sixty-four years he has ever been ready with his means to support the church of his choice. Only a few days before his death he was inquiring of some of the members of his class if his pastor had been paid in full. For nearly seven months he has been confined in his room patiently waiting the Master's call. A large congregation gathered at his home and after divine services conveyed all that was earthly to the sacred place where so many of his neighbors and friends lie to await the trump of God.

Watts, William Morrison
William Morrison Watts was born in Greenbrier county, Virginia, July 6, 1813;
died in South Webster, O., Nov. 11, 1891, of atrophy of the liver. He came to Rodney at 8 years of age and chose for his profession the practice of
medicine and surgery. For a time he practiced his profession here he then moved to Mabees' Corner, Jackson county, but becoming dissatisfied with his location there, he again moved to South Webster where he permanently located Dec. 24, 1842.
As a physician he was remarkably successful both here and in his final location.
He had been a christian from boyhood, a good, generous-hearted, benevolent man. Especially did he strive to assist the weak young man who might be trying to get an education as several young men of Scioto can testify.
Having lived a consistent christian he had no fears of the end and seemed anxious
to go. Calling his family to his bedside he bade each of them good-bye. He remained perfectly conscious to the last. His last words were, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him."
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. W. N. Middleton in the M.E. church in
South Webster, (of which church he was a member), from Psa. xxxvii, 37: "Mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of this man is peace"; after which his body was laid gently away by those who knew him and loved him. He leaves a daughter and two sons to mourn their loss: Park C. Watts, Mrs. Maggie Gist and Dr. J. W. Watts, a successful physician in Rodney.
| Down-stricken in the service of his Lord, Ready he was to leave this world of sin He murmured not, protested n'er a word, But gently said, "I'll put my trust in Him." To Heaven his pure soul has winged its flight, Happy to think the Saviour he would see: And hear His words: "And thou didst let thy light Shine there to guide the sinner unto me." "Stand there among the blest at my right hand; Thy storms and troubles are forever o'er; Forever shall thou dwell in this bright land, Where thou shall meet thy friends to part no more." O.W.T. |

Waugh, Jesse G.
Obituary
Jesse G., son of Lycurgis and Amanda King Waugh was born Nov 4th, 1863 and on June 30th, 1938 his tired spirit went back to the God who gave it. His age being 75 years 7 months and 26 days.
On Nov. 22, 1885 he was united in marriage to Laura Gardner who preceded him to the better world 8 years ago.
This union was blessed with 8 children, 5 of whom survive, 2 died in infancy and Anna who died 6 years ago.
The surviving children are Homer, Alva and Worthy of Bladen, Mrs. John Campbell of Eureka and Mrs. Wallace Lewis also of Eureka with whom he made his home. One sister Nettie Greene. There are also surviving 16 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
"Uncle Jack" as he was lovingly called by all who knew him was always of a good moral character, an honest and upright citizen, and always stood for what he thot was right regardless of what the world thot.
He was charitable in all his dealings and he always obeyed the command of the lowly Nazarene in that he gave to those who ask of him and did by his fellow man as he wished to be done by and no one ever was turned away from his door hungry.
Altho he never united with any earthly organization a short time after his wife passed away he felt the need of a comforter and gave his heart to God and his name was written in the Lamb's book of life in the church triumphant.
It has been said that no one ever heard him speak harshly to his companion. He was very gentle and devoted to his children and held the love and respect of all.
He remarked just before his illness that he tried to live as near Christ like as possible.
He was tenderly cared for by his children and everything that medical skill could do was done for him but God had a place ready for his eternal rest and his companion and children who had gone before were waiting. What a blessed reunion it must be.
Thru all his illness he never complained; but was so patient thru all his suffering.
Father the days will be lonely, The nights will be long and drear Some day when this life is all over, And the toils and sorrows are o'er. We hope to follow your footsteps, In the path that the Master trod. |

In Memory of Mrs. Waugh
“All things that are on earth shall wholly pass away, Except the love of God, which shall live and last for aye.”
This is an inspired conception of the poet Bryant which we know is real and is being fulfilled every day. Its reality is demonstrated in the passing of Laura A. Waugh of Bladen, R.D., Ohio.
Mrs. Waugh was a daughter of Scott and Nancy Gardener of Gallia County, and was 63 years, 2 months, 11 days of age at the time of her death. She was born in 1867 on May 13, and died July 24, 1930.
On the 22nd of Nov. 1885 she was united in marriage to Jesse G. Waugh. To this union eight children came to bless the home. However, two of these – Fairy and Carrie, preceded their mother in death.
Those of the family who survive and mourn their loss are: the husband, who is mentioned above; Homer L. and Alva Waugh, who are married and live in the same community with their father; Anna and Worthy who are at home; and Mrs. Wallace Lewis and Belva Campbell who live in Eureka, Ohio; one sister, Mrs Chas. Waugh of Bladen, Ohio. Besides those of the immediate family there are 16 grand-children and many relatives and friends.
Mrs. Waugh was a Christian. She was converted early in life, after which she was baptized by Rev. Napoleon Burnett and united with the Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Ohio township. She will always be remembered by her kind words and loving deeds. Her hand was always open to those in need.
She was kind and sympathetic. Her children say that they can not recall when she gave them a cross word. The neighbors, too, give a similar testimony.
In the last year, as she was nearing the end, she seemed to be greatly concerned about the condition of the church and cemetery which adjoined their home.
As the end dew near she became exceedingly anxious to cross over. Her last request was: that the Lord might come and take her home. Her request was granted, in a most peaceful manner at about 6:30 o’clock Thursday morning.
| “Gone is the face we loved so dear; Silent is the voice we loved to hear. Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach. Sweet to remember her who once was here, And who, though absent, is just as dear.” |

Waugh, Mabel Ora [Ross]
IN MEMORY
Mabel Ora Waugh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Ross, was born Jan. 26, 1909 and departed this life Sept. 9, 1926, aged 17 years 7 months and 13 days. She was united in marriage to Clarence E. Waugh, Aug. 17, 1925. To this union was born one son, Clarence Junior.
For months she suffered with cancer, but through it all she was more patient than many would have been. Mabel was always an obedient, dutiful daughter and unlike many other girls, mother was always first and Mabel would never leave her alone at night. She was a kind, loving sister and a faithful devoted wife and tongue cannot express how much the young husband will miss the dear one who had been with him so short a time. Mabel made friends wherever she went and to know her was to love her.
Before her marriage she was an officer in the Sunday school and performed her duty faithfully for one so young.
While our hearts ache and there is a wound there that time will never heal, yet how sweet it is to know that there was light in the valley of death for her and we have that blessed assurance that we may meet her again where there is no more sickness or sorrow or crying or pain and there is no night there. For she said several weeeks before she went to rest, that she was ready at any time.
Tho it is only natural for us to grieve, we should think that she is not dead, but sleepeth and is now enjoying that rest in that eternal home prepared for her from the foundation of the world.
Besides her husband and infant son, she leaves father, mother, a father and mother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Waugh, sisters, Mrs. Clemma Mattes, Mrs. Bessie Caldwell of Erie, Pa., brothers, Charles, of Wheeling, W. Va., Bertie and Raymond of Bladen and Homer at home, besides a host of other relatives and friends who mourn her departure, a brother, Harry, preceded her in death 34 years ago and a sister, Mrs. Ruby Hixson, who died four years ago.

Mr. Waugh Dead
This week we are called upon to chronicle the sudden death of Marshall Quinton? Waugh, a life-long resident of the Waugh Bottom, above Swan Creek. Mr. Waugh's death, from a cerebral hemmorrhage, occured about noon last Saturday, on his farm, near Cheshire, where he had gone from the home of his son, Dr. D. Q. Waugh of Middleport, to superintend some farm matters which needed his personal attention. He was in the best of health and spirits up to an hour or so before his death.
Mr. Waugh was born June 21, 1834, and was exactly eighty six years and two months old. He was the eldest son of the late Thomas and Miriam [Sloan] Waugh, pioneers of the Swan Creek neighborhood. On January 31, 1856, he was married to Miss Zimrode Parr, daughter of Hamilton Parr of Adams County, O. To this union were born three children, Sarah J, who died in early childhood, Dr. D. Q. Waugh, of Middleport, and Maxey Alice, who died? in 1904.
His companion preceded him in death five years ago, and since that time he made his home with his son in Middleport, except at intervals when he made visits among his relatives in the neighborhood of his old home. Besides numerous relatives of the old Waugh family, the deceased leaves one brother, T. J. Waugh of Bladen, three sisters, Mrs. Eli Davis of Spring Hill, Kans., Mrs. Matilda Boggs of Raccoon Island, and Miss Mary F. Waugh, who makes her home with the brother at the old homestead.
He leaves only one grand-daughter, Mrs. Bessie Casto, of Middleport, to whom he was much devoted. He was a member of the Mount Zion Baptist Church for sixty-four years and lived a faithful christian and stood by the church loyally thru all these years.
In early life, Mr. Waugh engaged in the river business and had quite a life experience in the old time flat boating?. Later he became a pilot and was active in that capacity when the Lizzie? Johnson Fashion, B. T. Enos, and others plied the short trades and blew their whistles at nearly every landing. After retiring from the river, Mr. Waugh engaged in farming and was successful at this business until his home was broken up. About a year ago he disposed of his old farm on which he had lived so long, and purchased another one near Cheshire, so as to be convenient to his son's home, and was well pleased with his new location.
Uncle Marsh will be sadly missed by many of his old neighbors among whom he loved to associate and will miss the friendly visits which he often made. The community will feel that an honest citizen, a good neighbor, and a kind friend, has gone out and will never more return.
The funeral services were conducted from the Swan Creek church Monday afternoon, and were largely attended. Rev. Earl Cremeans officiated at the services, preaching from Hebrews, CH? 27. Interment was made in the church cemetery by Undertaker ??.

Waugh Is Killed 8 Months After Entering Service
Private Maxon Wayne Waugh, 19, who was killed in action on March 5, as reported in Tuesday’s Tribune, was inducted into service last May 29. Among those inducted at the same time were Jack Trotter and Lewis Clark.
Private Waugh received his basic training at Camp Wolters, Texas, and went to Italy via North Africa some time in February. His last letter to his parents, Postmaster and Mrs. O. V. Waugh of Eureka, was sent from the Anzio beachhead and dated Feb. 27. He was a member of an infantry rifle company, but it is not permissible to name the military unit. He could have been on combat duty only a few days before he was killed, it is inferred from the known date about his movements.
Like his boyhood schoolmate, Joe Craig, young Waugh has made the supreme sacrifice for his country. Other school boys will have to take their places in the line so long as war remains the established method of establishing “justice” among “civilized” nations.
Wayne was the only son and pride and joy of his parents and his two sisters, Ernestine and Elizabeth.

She was first married to Stephen Morton of Gallia County, ohio, in the year 1868 and to this union was born an only son, Ozora P. Morton, now residing at Detroit, Michigan. Her husband died September 25, 1871. Mrs. Waugh remained in widowhood for many years, and labored hard to support herself, her son and a foster daughter, who is now Mrs. W. A. Lanier of Crown City, Ohio.
In the year 1884, she was married to Lemuel Vinton Waugh of Harrison Township, Gallia County, Ohio, and they lived happily together until Mr. Waugh's death in March 1911. A son, Orva Waugh of Bladen, Ohio, was born to this union and since his father's death looked after his mother's welfare, sparing neither time nor effort to supply her with the necessary things of life. Also surviving are the following step-children: Lester Waugh of Toledo, Oregon; Sheridan Waugh of Gallipolis and Mrs. Isaac N. Clark of Route 4, Gallipolis, O. Twenty-four great grand children and 17 grand children also survive her.
During her long sojourn here, Mrs. Waugh suffered many bodily afflictions, but bore them with patient Christian fortiture, not caring to burden the happiness of her friends with her own sorrows. She was a member of the Mount Zion Baptist church for many years and up to the time of her death lived the example of a consistent Christian and was always happy in the thought that some day her Journey would be done. Earth would be lost and Heaven won, that when the long, rough way was trod, she would behold the face of God. She always attended church services regularly whenever her health would permit and went about her daily duties in a quiet, reserved manner that was highly commendable. Through her kindness and goodness of heart, she won the esteem and friendship of those with whom she associated, and many eyes will be dimmed with tears when they reflect on her past life, fraught with so many kindly deeds.

DIED
WAUGH - At the residence of her son, Vinton Waugh, in Harrison Township, Gallia County, Ohio, on the morning of the 5th. of Feb. 1882, Rachel Waugh, at the age of 91 years.
At the request of the relatives of this deceased mother, I will endeavor to say something in reference to her past life. She was married to George Waugh about the year 1811, at the age of 20 years. In the year 1816 they moved to Harrison Township and settled on the farm where her husband died in the year 1875. Since the death of her husband she lived with her children on the same farm.
In the year 1822, she, with her husband, was baptized into the fellowship of what is now Providence Church (at that time an arm of Sandfork Baptist Church) by Elder John Lee, one of the first Baptist ministers that ever labored in Southern Ohio, consequently she lived in the service of her Master for 60 years.
Mother Waugh was the oldest member belonging to Providence Church and as a church member, she was faithful. She was universally respected as a friend, faithful and true; as a neighbor, kind and obliging; as a Christian constant and earnest. May our loss be her gain.
She leaves mourning on the shores of time three sons and one daughter, twenty-five living grandchildren and forty-five living great-grandchildren, together with a large circle of relatives and friends. She told some of her friends and relatives a short time before she died that she would soon leave them. No doubt she could say,
Farewell vain world, I'm going home, |

Waugh Rites at Ohio Chapel and M. Hill Cemetery
Funeral services will be conducted for Roy E. Waugh at Ohio Chapel at 2 p.m. Sunday by Rev. J.E. Hakes. Burial in Mound Hill Cemetery by C.R. Halley.
The statement in yesterday's paper that he had long been ill and nearly helpless appears now as an exaggeration to the reporter who has since talked to the bereaved widow, the former Mamie Forth.
Waugh had been bedfast for six weeks and in poor health for more than a year and he attributed his bronchial ailment to the gassing he received in France in World War I.
They had lived on the Garners Ford Road, off Route 35, the last three years, on the J.D. Reese farm, now owned by Dewey Haskins of Huntington. They moved there from the Wallace farm at Clipper Mills, Mrs. Waugh said.
The body will be taken home at 3 p.m. today, where friends may call.

Waugh, Thomas Jefferson (Tobe)
Tobe Waugh Dead
The Waugh Bottom community in Ohio township, lost one of its best citizens in the passing of Thomas Jefferson (Tobe) Waugh, on Friday, March 28, 1924. Mr. Waugh was born February 8, 1851, and was the youngest son of Thomas and Miriam (Sloan) Waugh, sturdy pioneers of that community.
Five sons and five daughters, besides the deceased, constituted this large family. All of the children lived to manhood and womanhood with the exception of William S., and George E., who died in infancy. Eliza A., died at eleven, and James T., in early manhood. Mrs. Sarah Taylor and John H. were the next to be taken by death. Their eldest son, Marshall Clinton, died August 21, 1920, and another daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis died in Springhill, Kansas, a year or more ago. Mrs. Matilda Boggs of Racoon Island and Miss Mary F. Waugh, at home, are the only survivors of this large family.
On Sept. 19, 1876, Mr. Waugh was united in marriage to Miss Viola Smith, daughter of the late Brice H. Smith of Guyan township. The whole period of their married life was spent in the home of Mrs. Waugh's parents and after they passed to the other world the old homestead fell to them and they have resided there ever since. Mr. Waugh's sister, Miss Mary was also a member of the household. Their children, Wilbur, Arius and Mrs. Anna Mooney were reared in the old home and they still reside in the near community. There are now fourteen grand children.
In his early years Mr. Waugh engaged in the store business, but later turned his attention to farming and continued in that occupation until he was stricken with disease. All who knew Mr. Waugh will remember him as a kind neighbor obliging in many ways, a loving husband and father and especially devoted to the sister, with whom he spent the seventy years of his life. Mr. Waugh became seriously ill a few months ago and was taken to the hospital in Huntington, where he received the best of care, but medical skill and attention were of no avail. He realized his work on earth was done and expressed himself many times as being ready to meet his mother at the Heavenly gates. So he passed peacefully from this life.
On Sunday afternoon his remains were followed by a large procession of friends, relatives and neighbors to the Swan Creek M. E. church, where the funeral rites were performed. Five hundred people paid their last tribute of respect to a good man and a kind neighbor. Rev. W. K. Riggs officated at the funeral and other ministers, Rev. E. L. Sheets, Rev. E. V. Creamears and Rev. John Tipton offered words of consolation to the bereaved families. Interment was made in the church cemetery by undertaker J. W. Stevers and son. E. A. Clark, W. F. Campbell, Sam Halley, J. C. Wills, A. J. Kennedy and W. L. Gilmore were the active pall bearers.

Mrs. Alva Waugh
| So nigh is grandeur at our dust So nigh to God to man When duty whispers low "Thou Must" Then Mother answers I can. |
In the hush of the early morning another wife and mother answered the call to the greatest duty of the human race and faced the inevitable conqueror of mortal life--death. Without a flinch of that noble character Mrs. Alva Waugh became victorious and triumphant in a greater field of life.
Veva, the daughter of W.E. and Rose Angel Richie was born in Gallia County, Ohio May 25, 1894. And during the span of years that was her privilege to live never migrated far from the paternal homestead and through these years Mrs. Waugh, has had the pleasure and guidance of her father and mother, also one sister, Mrs. Virginia Pfeiffer and one brother, George Richie, still survive. Having lost one sister Bess and a brother Merill but now again are reunited forever.
In early life under the ministry of Rev. Riggs, Mrs. Waugh accepted Christ as her personal Saviour, was baptized and became a faithful member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. In her daily life among her family and her intimate friends that noble lesson taught to her by her Master cast its reflections upon all with whom she came in contact and was a boon to their spirits when depressed as their burdens were lightened and their pathway directed upward and onward.
On May 18, 1915, a young woman of almost twenty-one summers she was united in Holy Marriage to Alva Waugh and for more than quarter century, together they enjoyed each other's companionship, carried each other's load, rejoiced in each other's love and shared each other's sorrow.
To this union came three bundles of God's love, Arbeautis (Mrs. John) Houck, Justine and Calvin and with their coming, Mrs. & Mrs. Waugh's home became a paradise or near to it as they could make it for their own, they forgot themselves, and lived for their children.
Perhaps the greatest trial of Mrs. Waugh's life came at the time when her son answered his call to his country and if need be to pay his supreme sacrifice, yet with that affection of a noble soul, she gave though her heart was torn almost to bleeding.

Wayne Waugh, aged 55, who lived 1-1/2 miles back of Swan Creek, died about 11 o'clock Monday of appendicitis. He was operated on four weeks before to a day, but the appendix could not be removed owing to adhesions and it seems that proper drainage from the diseased organ could not be obtained.
His distressing illness and untimely death occasioned deep sorrow. Wayne Waugh was a big hearted man, kind and indulgent to his family, and good to everybody he knew. He will be missed in Ohio Tp., where the abiding sympathy of all goes out to the disconsolate widow and the orphaned children. He was the father of fourteen, of whom nine survive--James, Charles, Grover, Emmett, Arius, John, Mary Belle, Mrs. Emmett Fraley and Mrs. Virgil Waugh. He is also survived by one brother, Jesse Waugh, and one sister, Mrs. Mettie Green.

For five long months she suffered great pain, but bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude, until she heard a welcome voice say, “it is enough, come up higher”. The end came peacefully March 14th, 1915. She will be greatly missed in the family circle, especially by her companion, as they had trod life’s pathway together for 60 years.
