Tribute To Mrs. ,Newton
2 Edith Genevieve, daughter OF B.
F. and Lydia Disbro Price was born
at Trimble, o.. Sept. 20, 1891. She
was the fourth of a family of five
four girls and one boy;
one girl and the boy preceded her in
death. At the age of thirteen she
united with the Christian church at
Trimble, She moved with her par
ents to Elliott, o., in 1906. where
she resided until her marriage to
Jesse Newton Jan. i, ,1a10; since
then they have made their home in
this vicinity. She died 4 Nov. 18.
1925, aged "a years, / mo and 28
days. The writer's acquaintance
with Edith has extended over a peri
cd of 25. years and will say, that his
command of language is not suffi-
cient to describe ber pleasing. per-
sonality and Christian spirit in all,
she said and did. Whether at home
or in the various activities in which
she engaged either social. or busi-
ness, she was cheeEful, kind and pa
tient; wherever she went she found
and made friends who will never
forget her. Among her immediate
relatives she was considered as an
angel of good cheer, and was always
welcomed, when she came among
them, with gratitude; and they al
ways saw her depart with regret.
Although her last illness was of
short duration she showed her cour-
ageous spirit through it all and re-
peatedly told her friends she did not
fe2r death. She leaves to mourn
their loss her husband, her father
and mother of this place, two sisters
Mrs. Geo Zimmerman of Wellington,
O., and Mrs. Jesse Kirkbride of Ell
liott and great many relatives too
numerous to mention individually
besides host of friends.
