All the people Of Raven were Sc
verify shocked Tuesday morning to
hear of the sad death of Mr.. j.
Thomas Stinson, which occurred at
Welch, Monday night about IL
O'Clock. He was struck by passenger
train No. 16 about p. m. at Pow
hatan, w. Va, from which place he
was removed to the hospital where he
received every attention possible. But
in spite of the best medical attention
he succumbed within few hours of
his injuries. He wns in the prime of
life, and in the bloom of active busi-
ness life. He surrendered honorably
to his Maker. AS we took the last
lingering look at our youthful friend
we could only say, He is dead.
No sleep so beautiful and calm, SO
free from pain, so fair to look upon
since the angels kissed his life away.
He seems a being fresh from the
tender care of God, and waiting for
the breath of life, and not like one,
who has lived and suffered death.
Gods will be done. He was about
25 years old and married. His re-
mains was brought here Wednesday
morning on train No. 5, and after
the funeral services at his father's
home attended by large crowd of
mourning relatives and friends he
was laid to rest in the family grave
yard, under the auspices of the Odd
Fellows, to which lodge he belonged.
He leaves widow, father and moth
er and three sisters to mourn his
death. We extend our deepest sympa-
thy to the bereaved family.
The Raven High School, which has
been occupying the church and Odd
Fellows hall, moved into their new
building Tuesday, with about one
hundred and fifty students in attend
ance and large number of patrons.
About half the day was consumed in
talks by principal j. B. Altizer, Miss
Early. Miss Pollock, j. B. Crabtree,
trustee for the Maiden Spring die
trict; Rev. Burman and Rev. Bald
win, of Richlands. The building is
one of the most modern and up to {
date in the county.
