OWEN FOSTER FRIEND
Owen Foster Friend, of Friends
vile. Garrett county. was born on
July 1st, 1897, and died on October
10Th, 1918. He was converted I'M
der the ministry of the Rev. A. S.
Wolf and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church in June, 1908. He
enlisted in the United States army
on July 5th, of the present year.
1t would be difficult to find "a more
highly respected and more deeply
loved young man than Foster Friend
Though young in years, he was so
far advanced, from an intellectual
viewpoint that he held an impor-
tant position as a teacher in our
public schools at Friendsville. ONLY
those who knew him personally could
appreciate his true worth. He loved
his God; he loved his country; he
loved his home and his relatives, so
therefore we are not surprised that
he was beloved by all who knew him.
In few instances would the following
statement be more truly exemplifed
than in the life of this young man,
namely: "Only love seeks love; only
love wins love; and only love satisfies
love-"
Owen Foster Friend belonged to
one of the most highly respected fam
lilies in the community, namely, that
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. w. Friend, who
are loyal and helpful members of our
church at Friendsville. He was a.
grandson of Rev. Henry E. Friend.
of Mountain Lake Park, who is so
well known and so highly respected
by the members of our West Virginia
Conference of the NJ. E. church.
We miss Fosterso much in our little
town, and also in our church and our
choir, but he is more missed in his
home and it may be truthfully said
of this kind-hearted and faithful
Christian young man, as Jonathan
said of David: Thou shalt be missed
because thy seat will be empty" Yet
he has representative above, even
Christ, who is seated at the right
hand of God, where He ever liveh to
make intercession for us, and for
Foster. His parents and sisters are
looking not at the things which are
seen but at the things which are not
seen. All will be well.
Funeral services were held on the
porch OF the home of his parents in
Friendsvile. A large company of
sympahizing relatives and friends
were present, and al the ministers of
the town took part in the services.
VIM. Anderson, Pastor.
