JAMES BENNETT.
Died February is, 1905.


Died February 49, 1905.
One more soldier gone 10 rest.
One more home made lonely.
Mourn not at your loss, loved ones,
Think of his gain only.
He has fought life's battle brayely,
Fought grim death by day and hour;
That is all that's kept him with you,
Loving and strong will power.
He has passed through years of suffering
Though no frown is ON his brow;
Rest, sweet rest, az last has found him.
And glory crowns him now.
You'll miss him at morning at noon and at night,
He leaves you a lone. vacant chair;
In heaven you'll meet him around the great
throne,
There no broken circles up there.
Comrades, you will sadly miss him.
AS you march and form in ine
His grave with flags and flowers you'll deck;
He'll call you home some day, some time.
He has left you many token
Memories that will last forever.
Husband, father and friend, farewell
Until we meet beyond the river.

At the mouth of the mine the wall

Sketch Of Rlshop Merrill.

Stephen Mason Merrill was born
Sept. 16, 1926, at Mount Pleasant, JEFF
ferson county, Ohio. His father, who
was SON of New Hampshire minute
man Of the revolution, was shoe
maker and taught his son the same
trade. The family moved to Green
field, Ohio, where young Merrill joined
the Methodist church in 1912 and was
licensed to preach in 1915, before he
was 20 years old.
His educational advantages were
slender, considering his subsequent
success. Besides the studying he did
while at work as shoemaker, he had
only few years at the public schools
and year at the South Salem acad-
envy and the special training of a
scholar and teacher. Rev. DR.. James G..
Blair. But being possessed of fine in
tellectual abilities, he applied himself
so assiduously that before his death he
was considered not only a well-read
man and fine theologian, but fair

He was admitted to the Ohio confer
ence in 1916 the year made memorable
by the secession of the Methodist
church, south, from the general con-
ference. His first appointments were
to the Monroe, Wilmington, Roseville.
Worthington, Marysville, Groveport
and Pickering circuits and he was af-
terward pastor successfully of
churches at Granville, GAINESVILLE and
