Indianola paper is handed us for
publication since it has reference to
former Prestonian who has many
friends and relatives living In this
county and in Kingwood.
Mrs. E.W. Fortney passed peace.
fully to her reward early Monday
morning, July 70, 1900. Death
came sometime between midnight
and morning, no one knows Just
what hour, save her Master, as her
soul took its flight while she was
sleeping She had been unusually
we'll Sunday, twice she had attended
church, and retired about 10 O'Clock
OF later She arose about IA O'Clock
to close a door and when her hus.
band attempted to awaken her as
morning dawned he found her cold
in death
Mrs. Fortney was one OF the
pioneers OF Indianola, and her
death came as a shock to her num-
erous relatives, friends and neigh
bors.
Ruth Powell was born in Preston
county, w. Va, March 4, 1894,
and her early life was spent there.
Oct s 1855, she married Eugene
w. toriney aud In November of
that year they came to Indianola,
which has been their home Tor over
so years. Their family consisted
Of three sons, Tabor W., b. Frank,
and Robert A. Fortney, who with
the husband survive her.
October 8, 1905, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fortney celebrated their golden
wedding which event they had
looked forward to with pleasure for
50 many years, that it seemed to
give them both a new lease of life
and since that time they have been
stronger seemingly than before,
and while the deceased was
victim OF heart trouble, even
her closest friends were not ex-
pecting death TO come so suddenly.
Mrs Fortney was converted in
1906 and united with the First Bap.
tist church Of this city where the
funeral was held Tuesday at 3 p. m.
in charge OF Rev. George b Simons
Of Burlington, her former pastor,
assisted by Rev. {. I. Ilsey. The
funeral was largely attended.
AUNT Ruth" as she was famil-
larly called by every one, was one
of the good women of whom the
Bible speaks whea it says, "Her
children shall rise up and call her
blessed, her husband and he prais-
eth her." She was converted and
joined the Baptist church Of this
place during the first year OF its
organization, and has ever been one
Of its most faithful and devoted
Misunderstanding the keenest inter-
est in It's prosperity and advance.
mcnt Nothing but sickness ever
kept her from its services. No
only will she be missed in the home
where the loss is lueparable. and in
the church where for forty years
she has been living witness of the
power Of Christ TO save, but she will
be missed by the people Of Indian
ola with whom she has lived for
over so years Her many sterling
qualities, her cheerfulness and good
humor have endeared her to all
and We feel that earth is poorer for
her taking away For years she
has been a great sufferer from haart
trouble, but was in her usual health
having been a church twice on the
Sabbath no premonition OF death
vas felt when She retired and went
90 sleep on Garth and woke up in
Heaven

THE FARNHAMs IN MAINE.
Family Has Many Representatives
In Hancock County.


From letter OF DR.. A. E. Farahsm. of
East Madison, who is compiling gene
alogy OF the Farnkam family, the follow
ing is taken with permission.
The Farnhams are English. The name is
from two wordsfarn and ham farm, fern,
is the German for tern. Our Anglo-Saxon
ancestors, who conquered England and
drove out the Britons, used many German
words and were mixed with the Germans.
Ham is the Anglo-Slxon for home. Hence
Farnhams were race whose homes were
among the ferns. There were farmers IN
Surrey, Eng, and the Midland counties
abounded in ferns, and the Farnhams had
their home among the ferns.
Lord Farnham was a prominent figure
in the history OF England during the
war with France. There is town by the
name of Farnham ia Surrey county in
which there is famous old castle which
was the home of Lord Farnham. There
are plenty OF Farnhams now in England.
Ralph Farnham sailed from South-
ampton, Eng, April 8, 1886, in the brig
James, and after a voyags OF ffty-eight
was thirty-two and his wife, Alice,
twenty-eight. His son Ralph settled in
Audover, Mss, in 1858, and married
Elizabeth Holt. Ralph, OF Andover, had
two sons Ralph and Daniel, both of
whom came to York, Me., early in the
seventeen hundreds. From these two men
all the Farnhams in Milne spring.
~
part of the town and the old castle. 1t
was first printed in 1902. There was a
Ralph Farnham who was the last suryiv-
ing soldier of the battle of Bunker Hill.
He was at the great celebration at Con-
cord, Mass, few years ago and was the
s'lion" OF the occasion. He was then 104
years old, and died in Acton at the age Of
los.
The Farnhams were brave, grand SOL
diers and fought for their country in the
Revolution, the war OF 1872, and the great
rebellion. Tall, muscular, fair haired,
blue-eyed, intelligent, apt and active,
they have ever manifested the blue blood
which runs in their veins. Their motto
on their coat of arms was, 'sHubbius ad-
dictus jar re in rerba magistri," which,
translated, reads: sinclined to swear in
the words OF no MASTER" They had an
opinion OF their own and were not ad-
dicted to swear in the words of a master.
Gen. Lafayette, when in this country,
declared that the Farnhsm women OF An
dover were the most beautiful women on
this side OF thu Atlantic. In honor OF the
family with whom he tarried many weeks,
he wore the Golden Fern" worked with
silk on his neckerchief."

Life will be continued. William Allen

ats literary achievement, is strong factor
