The death of Mr.. Russell was great
shock to all who knew him. No citi-
zen was looked upon as having more
robust frame or longer lease of life
But a dangerous disease sieZed him and
he was suddenly taken from among us
He was born and raised in Concord twp
and came to Butler some IS years ago
and has been actively engaged in the
production of oil eyer since. Lately he
has been interested in the Scio, Ohio,
oil field 1t was there, or coming from
there, that he contracted the complaint
that ended his useful life, for he was
good citizen and a friend of all good
aims and objects calculated to promote
the good of society.
He leaves a widow, nee Critchlow of
Prospect, and three children. They
have the sympathy of this community.
His remains were laid in the North
Cemetery on Tuesday.
The funeral services over the remains
were held in the NJ. E. Church and
were very impressive. The entire cler-
gy of the town were present and par
ticipating. Rev. Miller read from the
Psalms Rev. Oller lead in prayer, Revs.
White, Mckee and Worrell paid most
beautiful tributes to the worth and
character of Mr.. Russell, and Rev.
Trapp closed the exercises with a fer
vent prayer. A choir of about twenty
persons rendered very appropriate sing
ing

daughter of L. q. Shannon, aged II
years, 10 months and IA days.
Her remains were buried in the Mud
dycreek Baptist cemetery, Tuesday.
frankie took sick on Nov. II, 1898, just
four months previous to her death. She
had bad spell of diphtheria in Nov.
1897, but had reasonable good health
during the summer.
Drs. Holman, Atwell, Thompson and
Mcconnell held an autopsy on Monday
and found death was caused by an en-
larged liver, weight IA pounds, also
tumor in the bowels.
They had watched her fading,
Slowly, like the lily, day by day;
And knew that they, on the brighter
Shore were waving her away.
For she whispered slowly, softly,
The praises of the Most High;
And murmured gently, lowly,
"'Tis an easy thing to die
Mourn not for me beloved ones,
Who guarded me in youth
And kept my wayward feet
Within the path of right and truth.
OA Nttp AOl 1abICls hAObhNh NSNA
I'm only gone before,
To welcome you ere long
Upon yon bright, eternal shore.
Weep not, parents dear,
1t was done by Him who rules on high,
To Whom there nothing is unknown,
Nor Whom we dare defy.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The hOon his love had given:
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in heayen.
