Oliver Schcher, Aged "a, Passed Away
thursday After Bnel illness

Oliver Schlicher, aged "a years, old.
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Schli-
cher, died at the Schlicher home here
Thursday at 10 a. m. of pneumonia
after an illness of only a few days.
The funeral was held at the Schli-
cher home Sunday at 10 a. M, con-
Quoted by Judge c. E. Snodgrass, of
the Christian church, and Rev. J. l..
Cupp of the NJ. E. church. The re-
mains were placed in the city ceme-
terry, attended by a few friends and
neighbors. The attendance at the
funeral was large despite the day be-
ing one of the coldest of the winter,
accompanied by very keen wind.
On account of the severity of the
weather the women relatives did net
at the grave.
Relatives who We're here from a
distance were: C. H. Delius, Knox
vile; Mrs. Lester Duncan, and Mrs.
Roy Duncan, both of Palestine, Ill.
The mesdames Duncan left yesterday
for their home accompanied by their
mother, Mrs. G. A. Schlicher, who
will pass few weeks with her daugh-
ter to rest and compose her minu from
the heavy loss she has sustained in
the death of her only remaining son.
Within the past two years Mr. and
Mrs. Schlicher have been called upon
to suffer most intensely as previous
to this they lost a son, Robert, last
July. He was a young man of I'M
usally bright mind and was loved and
admired by all who knew him. He
passed away in few weeks from tu-
NOR of the brain.
A little over year ago a married
daughter, Mrs. Kate Taylor, died of
influenza. She was woman of very
kind and cheerful disposition and was
much loved by all who knew her.
This great grief coming so closely
after the other two lays upon these
splendid people most crushing bur-
den, one that excites the deepest
sympathy of the entire community,
which was manifested in every way
possible and no thoughtful act of
kindness was left undone that could
in any way tighten the deep sorrow
that oppressed their hearts.
Oliver Schlicher was a splendid
Christian gentleman OF kindly heart
ad unbounded generosity. His life
had been one of mared kindness and
probity; he never missed a chance
to render kindness, and that, cou-
pied with his genial nature, had won
for him a host of friends who deeply
regret his untimely taking away. He
was member of the Congregational
church, close attendant at Sunday
school and lived a very exemplary
life as a citizen of the community.
After the death of his younger bro
ther last summer he had been the
main prop and dependence of his
as business called Mr.. Sch
licher away from home the most of
the time. His kindness and gentle
ness toward his mother was one of
the highest characteristics that mar
ked him as being worthy of the ad-
of his many friends.
He will be much missed in the COM
