clearly from the Scriptudes that it
is the duty of Gods people to carry

Memoir.

'Tis said death leaves a shining
mark" 1t was demonstrated about
twilight Nov 10, 1910, when William
o., son of Ephriam O. and Rachel M.
Small, departed this life, aged 6S
years, months and days.
He was born near Stringtown, High
land county, O., May 6, 1912, his entire
life being spent in this county.
He was the oldest Of family OF
eight children, only two surviving
him. John L. of Manchester and JOS
eph E. of Shorey, Kan.
He was united in marriage with
Mary Ellen Thornburg Sep. D, 1865.
To them we're born eight children.
three sons and five daughters.
The wife, three sons, four daughters
and four grandchildren are left to
mourn their loss The eldest daugh-
ter, Edith, having preceded him to
the great beyond eight years ago
He had been an invalid for more
than five years, at times being great
sufferer.
He was not thought to be in seri-
Gus condition until shortly before his
departure he became unconscious.
Quietly and without struggle passed
to the mysterious beyond the Hitting
of the breath.
He had made preparations for his
departure with great solicitude for
the one who had so faithfully shared
life's joys and sorrows.
He was man Of whom 1t can truly
be said, he was strictly honest, in no
way seeking to take advantage, OBJ
serving the golden rule in his dealings
with his fellow man.
In 1892 circumstances necessitated
his moving to this place TO care for
his aged parents which occupied his
time for six years, and where he has
since resided, living a life free from
ostentation, preferring simplicity.
1t sometimes occurs that true cour-
age and manhood are more viyidly
brought to our notice through trials
that test the temper and texture of
the man.
As a citizen he was highly respected.
Many came to him for the advice he
was able to give. He was ever ready
to extend a helping hand to the poor
and needy.
The community has lost useful
citizen.
A portion of his favorite poem he
frequently repeated was;
oh why should the spirit of mortal be proud
Like switt-heeing meteor, a fast-hyine
cloud
4 fash of the lightning, break of the wave
Man passes from life to his rest in the grave
The leaves OF the oak and the willow shall
fade,
BE scattered around and together be laid
And the young and the old
And the low and the high
shall moulder to dust
And together shall lie.
