In Memoriam

tation hear Boston,: and the many
friends who come today to bid him a
reluctant goodbye bear mute evil
dence 10 the esteem in which he was
held by those who knew him best for
today the entire community sits IN
helpless silence meath the Rhadow of
a personal bereavement in the home
going Of Jesse Druley, for he was to
our people as a great hearted BROTH
er; and Boston township eve CAV to
the world a truer, Drawer, nobler son
than this one we delight to honor. 1t
CHANGED to be the happy privilege of
the writer to be the first teacher of
al friendship to the end of life's jour
ney, the sterling merit of his child
hood was only a prophecy of The plen-
did manhood of after years. He was
throughout his life here a fearless
champion of justice, and he somehow
inspired the ~nt-hear with cour-
age, and gave hope to the despairtng
ones who sought his counsel; and he
met his daily task with joy in the
privilege of service that made his COM
rades happy in his companionship. He
planned in boyhood the success that
crowned his future ~endeavor; and
when his mind and heart was set upon
the accomplishment of a task, he had
no such word as failure in his vocabu-
larry: And while his sun went down
suddenly at MONDAY in the very
zenith of his usefulness, he accomplish
ed the work of a well rounded life of
many years and he was permitted to
fall asleep in his own home, peacefully
as a weary child at the close of a well
spent day. Many worthy tasks have
fallen from his hands unfinished. and
may those who loved him in life honor
him in death by folding a pail of ten
derest memory over their own lost
treasures and go out tomorrow to com
plete the unfinished task of building
a house by the side of the road, and
be a friend to man"
The decesaed was educated in the
schools of Boston township and Earl
ham college. on Nov. u. 1901 he was
united in marriage to Miss Peal Eye
of Oxford, Ohio. Two children were
given to bless this happy home-Paul
the JOY of the fathers heart. and in
order to give them better educational
advantages the family left the old
farmstead and established a perman-
emit home in Richmond about six years
The early environment of a Chris
cause of The man of Gallilee' and he
united with the Christian church at
Boston and after coming to Richmond
he w~orshiped with the Presbyterian
family. He was also a member of the
Masonic fraternity the Knight Temp
lars, and the B. P. Q. Elks of Rich
mond, and he was definitely interested
in the moral and commercial life of
his home city. He will be missed in
the many circles of life's activity.
He leaves of his immediate family a
devoted wife and two children and one
sister, Mrs. Douglass Gelispie of Ok
ford, Ohio, who with her husband,
Douglass Gelispie and Mr.. and Mrs.
Eye of Oxford have the love and SYM
pathy of a host of friends who share
with them a sense of personal bereave-
ment; and commend them to Him who
"Giveth His beloved sleep" and to those
who trust Him, the blessed assurance
that just beyond the line of the invis-
ible we shall find again the dear mes
long loved and lost awhile"
For memoir has painted a perfect
day-in colors that cannot fade,
And We'll find at the end of that per
feet day,
The souls Of the friends we've made"
A FRIEND.
