of Willettsville, Highland county, Aug.
s, 1889. Since that time he has resided
with his father-in- law, and taught school
in the neighborhood, until about two
years ago, when he entered the Eclectic
Medical Institute, at Cincinnati, taking
a complete course in medicine and grad
uating with high donors.
Having secured rooms and fitted them
up, he began the practice of his chosen
profession in New Vienna, on the first
of July, only to remain a few short
weeks, when the angel of death marked
him for his own, and he was stricken
down with disease. For four weeks he
suffered with Christian fortitude and
patience, never complaining until the
angel Of peace beckoned his weary spirit
away. Like an imprisoned bird set free,
his spirit took the wings of morning and
few away to rest. Dear brother thou
art gone but not forgotten.
He leaves wife and one daughter,
Ethel, to mourn his loss besides father,
mother, three sisters and two brothers,
Frank and DR.. VIM. Ruble, of Martins
Vile, host of relatives and friends. As
a husband and father, he was indulgent,
loving and kind. AS friend and neigh
Dor there was none better,
He was consistent and dutiful mem.

Olive, having become member when
only fifteen years OF age. His every
day life and conversation only betoken.
ed the earnest zeal he felt in the work
of his heavenly Father.
Twenty. eight short years mark the
earthly career of one, who, like the fair
flower that buds and blooms in the
morning, is cut down and withered be.
fore the going down of the sun. Why a
life so full OF promise and youthful ex.
pectations should be 80 ruthlessly taken
away, we cannot understand, but we
must trust to the infinite wisdom Of our
heavenly Father, who doeth all things
we'll.
His life seems to have been one Of
constant labor and toll. Having so
thoroughly fitted himself for the relief
Of suffering humanity, he had only
marked out life course Of useful labor
and toll. We think that the poet has
beautifully described his life in the song
that we have oft heard him sing. If you
will bear with US we will reproduce the
words.
"Work for the night is coming, work thro' the
morning hours:
Work while the dew is sparkling, work mid
springing flowers
Work when the day grows brighter, work in

work is done.
Work for the night is coming, work thro' the
Fill brightest hours with labor, rest comes
sure and soon.
Give every flying minute something to keep in
Work for the night is coming, when man works
no more.
Work for the night is coming, under sunset
While their bright tints are glowing, work for
daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth, fadeth to shine

To know him and to be associated
with was only to learn to love him.
