VIM. VanDdevender, one of Lex
ington's best known and most
highly respected citizens, died at
his residence on his farm about one
mile northwest of town, Saturday
evening April 10, 1915 at 7:15
O'Clock after a short illness with
+dilutition of the heart. VanDev-
ender had been in rather poor
health for some time yet his death
came as a shock to the entire COM
nunitY.
While death came like a thief in
the night the grim reaper found it's
victim prepared for mis- coming.
With his lamp trimmed and burn
ing, with his house set in order he
met the death messenger with a
smile and knowing in whom he had
believed he wrapped the draperies
of his couch about him and lay
down as one to pleasants dreams.
Mr.. VanDevender was a con-
scientious, Ilaw-abiding and God.
fearing man and because OF these
qualities he enjoyed the honor and
respect of all who knew him. A
faithful and devoted husband and
father, his death is a sad blow the
wife and family. He was great
home lover, being never so happy
as when in the bosom of his family.
His two children, thou h married
and with families of their own and
widely separated from the family
home received a letter every week
full of fatherly interest and con-
Germ for their WELFARE.
AS a friend and neighbor he was
all that could be desired. His death
is great loss, not only to the
family, but to the entire commun-
ity and the churh he loved so well
and to which he had'given so mu' h
of faithful service and financial aid.
Mr.. VanDevender was born in
Highland county, Virginia May z,
1916. He came to Lexington in
1868. After about a year he re-
turned to Virginia and was there
married to Miss Sarah Colaw Dec,
%, 1869, after which the young
couple came back to Lexington
and made this their permanent
home. He is survived by his wife,
one son, John O. VanDevender, of
Abel, Iowa and one daughter, Mrs.
L. D. Siron, of Webb, Iowa, be-
sides ten grandchildren. The
funeral was held from THE family
residence Tuesday at 10 a. m. Rev.
J. G. Breden pastor of the U. B.
church, conducted the services. In

lot in the Lexington cemetery.
