TRIBUTE TO WESTON PIONEER
tBy T. s ROwsal


1918, in the Tlst year Of his age.
Brother Eeuallen was 4 pioneer
Of this country. having crossed the
plains with his parents in an emf
grant train in the year lS6S--he-
ing then a mere lad of Is years.
After spending spme SIX months
on the trail. they finally landed and
settled in what is now known as thc
Wild Horse neighborhood in Una
til!a county. where young Ransom
grew into a sturdy manhood. Be
ing one of large family Of child
ren. h. early learned the give and
take ways Of all such fsmiles nat
urally developing a cungcuial dis
position which remained with him
unto the end.
Early in life he fell in love with
Miss Mary Jane Green. whom IN
the springtime Of 1869. when the
earth was waking into new life,
the birds wcre mating and the
flowers were budding into bloom,
he claimed as his bride. And we
truly believe that this union bore
the seal Of God. Their life has not
been all springtime and flowers.
All, no, Sorrow has coule, mingled
with the joy; disappointment has
been Strewn amongst the successes.
death has entered their home.
Poverty has also been theirs but
through all the heart Of the lover.
the admiration Of the bridegroom
for the one Of his choice. remained
with him unto the last They BE-
gan housekeeping in Weston. where
they lived the greater part Of their
lives, except for period spent IN
Morrow county. Oregon.
Brother Lieuallen was the father
Of eight children, four Of whom have
preceded him TO that hons with
God. he surrendered his life ard
heart To Christ % years ago. On
a day when he stood by his anvil
alone. fashicning with bis hammer
the iron to suit his oxn mind. the
triphammer Of Gods great tr-tl
pounding at his heart broke
through, and the regenersiing
power Of Gods great love AMI
grace filed his soul, and truly from
that hour his has been regensrate
life. He was q faithful ,rnsmber
Of the Church. loved il as Gods
own institution and placed the wei
fare Of the Church even above his
own success. Brother Lieua In
had been a Sunday School supeTin-
tendent the greater part Of the
time fer the past q years. He was
at the time Of his death mem
Der Of the board Of stewards and
also a member Of the board Of
trustees Of this. his Church. He
was never assuming. never seeking
Office IN the Church, vet ever ready
to work anywhere in the Masters
vineyard. Ii is wonderful and also
beautiful to note that God having
found an entrance into his heart as
he stood at his anvil, would send
the summons. ''Corne Home" to
him.
He has been a loved and respect
ed member Of the Odd Fellows
lodge of this place for q years,
and his fraternal brothers greatly
feel the loss.
Brother Lieusl'en was member
II q family Of ten children he be
ing the first to answer the reaper's
saIl. He leaves behind seven sis
-erx, two brothers, four children,
six grandchildren. four great grand
children and host Of other rel
stiyes and friends to await the
saIne cali.
We commit his body TO the
ground. but no tomb can hold his
pirit.
