One by one the familiar faces of our old
citizens are missed from their accustomed
places. One by n they are called upon
to lay down the burdens of life, to say
farewell to families and friends, their
missions ended, they cross the dark river,
md join the hosts innumerable.
Mrs. Williamson was born in Clement
county, Ohio, July a, 1915. She came to
Missouri in 1910. She was the widow Of
Daniel Williamson, OF this union eight
children were born, all of whom preceded
their mother to the better land, except
one son, Butler Williamson. Her life was
a simple one, she finding her greatest
happiness in ministering to those OF her
own household. She was a loving mother,
a kind friend a neighbor. and as such will
be greatly missed.

Deceased was a man of sterling integrity
OF character, absolute in his faith and firm
in his principles. While not ostentatious
he was a man who impressed himself upon
the community, and thus lived venerated
and esteemed by all. His death was not
unexpected, yet his death leaves an aching
void in many a heart that bDeeds over the
loss of 'Uncle Joseph Page"
Died, at Kansas City, Mo-, April Both,
1898, of congestion of the stomach, DIR.
John NJ. Fackler, aged seyenty-seven
years.
DIR. Fackler was twice married, and by
his first wife had four children, Two OF
whom. Mrs. Clay Creel, Of Odessa, and
Mrs. Carlyle, of California, are living.
After the death of his wife he remained
q widower for about twenty-five years,
n then, on the fifteenth day of April,
1873, was married to Miss Ellen Ingram,
in this city. at the residence Of the BRIDES
brother-in-Ia law, Samuel i. Drysdale, ESQ.
He was n graduate in medicine, and for
many years practiced his profession. The
most active portion of his life was spent
in Leavenworth, OF which place he was a
pioneer, and at one time a large property
owner. After leaving Leavenworth he
located on a farm three miles south of
Waverly, where he lived until about
twelve years ago, when he removed to
Kansas City. Although he had passed
the age where most men retire from bus
mess his mind was as active and his body
was apparently as sound as most men are
at fifty. Hls mind was a s~torehouse OF
useful information and pretty thoughts.
He was a leading member OF h Episco-
pal church, apd his reverence int devo-
ton were striking characteristics. His
remains were buried at Blackburn on the
second of May, and q large number of his
old friends paid their respects to his men,
DRY by attending. A good man has gone
to his reward. Death came as gentle as
and he slept. The grim monster has no
~terrors for the old soldier of the cross.
May our lives be as consistent as his.
