FRANK FERRIS

Frank Ferris was born on the Oath
day of September, 1858, at Bellevue,
Ohio, and passed away on the 25th
day of November, 1917, at Bedford,
Ind, having attained the age of ga
years, 2 months and l day. He was
married at Wauseon, Ohio, to Cora
Leggett, who was the daughter of
Nathaniel Leggett, the founder of
Wauseon, and she was the first white
child born in our city.
One child, Clyde, was born to this
union, who, with the faithful wife,
survive the husband and father, thus
being left to finish their remaining
days without the comforting words
and kindly care of their loved one.
Mr.. Ferris was educated in our pub
lie schools, and commenced his bust
ness life in our midst Some years
ago he went to Kansas where he re-
mained some two years. Later he
resided in Iowa and Ohio, at which
places he held state positions of trust,
all of which he filled with credit and
ability. At the time of his death he
was engaged in the mercantile busi-
mess at Bedford.
During his entire life he was known
to be an upright, honorable and just
citizen, strict adherent to the Col
den Rule principles in all his dealings
with the public, and was blessing to
those by whom he was surrounded.
Thus today we are called upon to
lay away one more of our citizens
who has been returned to US, through
the agency of death. His years or
earth have passed and gone, but WE
can say:
The truer life draws higher, every
year;
And its morning star climbs higher
every year;
Earth's hold on US grows Sllghter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter
every year.
To the past go more dead faces, ever!
year;
AS the loved leave vacant places
! every year;
Everywhere their sad eyes meet US
In the evening dusk they greet us
And to come to them entreat US
every year.
To his friends and children who wildl,
yearn
For the old-time step and glad re
return,
Think of him faring on as dear
In the land of there, as the Ian,
of here;
Think of him ever the same, l say
"He is not dead, he's just away"
Funeral services were held at tn
} home of N. B. Waldron, Tuesday af
