Osborne Wilson

The death of this good man.
mention of which was briefly made
in last weeks issue of the Recorder,
came rather unexpectedly, notwith-
standing his feeble and weak condi-

Highland county has never had
a more conscientious, upright citi-
zen. His stand was always known
on questions involving right and
wrong, and it was his Cody walk
and strict adherence to principles
of rights that made him great and
good in the eyes of his fellows. He
was a devout christian, and a rul-
ing elder in the Presbyterian church
since it's organization at this place.
In public life he had long been a
Justice of the Peace in Monterey
district, and for nearly fifty years

war and saw long, hard service in
the Confederate ~army, entering in
1861. He was a sergeant in Co. E,
3lst Va. captured at Five Forks
and a prisoner at Point Lookout.
He kept and preserved most inter-
esting diary during the four years
of the war. and Mr.. Morton, in his |
History of Highland, has given
several pages to its publication.
At his own request he was buried |
in the gray uniform which was so
dear to him, six of his old comradse,
with tottering steps, following his
remains to their last resting-place.
Funeral services were held !
at $50 Sunday morning, conducted
by his pastor, Rev. N. A. Parker,
assisted by Rev. J. G. Thrasher, of |
the Methodist church. All of his
children were present and the |
church was crowded with relatives
and friends from all sections of the

DR.. X. H. Trimble.

ss .s
Montereyans do not recall time
in the history of the town when
there were>two open graves in the
cemetery waiting to receive the
remains of two prominent citizens
on the same day as was the case on
Thursday and Friday last. Hard
ly had the news of Mr.. Wilson's
death reached the limits of the
county when the announcement of
DR.. Trimble's death was heard,
taking place few houre later at
his home on South Spruce street.
AS most of his friends know, DR..
Trimble had been in declining
health for several months. his con-
dition becoming grave and serious
last fall. He spent several weeks
at the Staunton hospital, receiving
treatment, and was temporarily
benefited. Since his return, how,
ever, the greater part of his time
was spent in his room and bed.
On Thursday evening he became
worse and passed away at an early
hour Friday morning, sitting in his
chair, while kind friends watched
with him through the night.
DR.. Kenton Harper Trimble was
a son of the late James Trimble,
born in the Monterey community
and was almost So years of age.
Surviving him are the following
near relatives: An aged mother
and one brother, Jas. A. Trimble,
who reside at the old home near
town; one sister, Mrs. P. Edgar
Hull, of Kansas; his wife, whose
maiden name was Sullenberger,
and three children-K. H., Junior,
Alma and Richard.
DR.. Trimble was graduate of
the University of Virginia and took
a post graduate course in New
York. Immediately after gradua-
ton, and when a comparatively
young man, he located at Monterey
for the practice of his profession.
and remained here until his death.
As a physician he was eminently
successful, and scarcely home in
Highland but that has had occasion
to appreciate his faithful effort to
alleviate suffering, his kindness and
sympathy in hours of trouble and
suffering. For something like a
quarter of a century he enjoyed a
large practice, and the warm friend
ships formed during those years
were evidence by large attend
ance from various sections of the
county on the occasion of his
funeral.
Fully conscious of his approach
ing end, he gave heed to the in
junction Of holy writ, Prepare to
meet thy god," professed saving
faith, and calmly and fearlessly |
awaited the summons. At his own
request he was received into mem
bership of the Methodist church,
some two weeks, before his death

ment of the Lords supper.
The Funeral services were held
