Orville Evans Taken BY Death
Orville S. Evans, 70, lifelong high
ly esteemed resident of Windsor
township, passed away at the county
home hospital, Friday morning at
430 o'clock. Death was due to
heart trouble and complications. He
had been at the hospital but a short
time. Funeral services were con-
Quoted Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock at the home of his nephew,
Mr.. Fred James, of Stockport, with
interment in Stockport cemetery.
Orville Shelton Evans was born
near Roxbury, Nov. %, 1861, and
death came to him early in the

Of 70 years, three months and eight

Looking Into
The Past
By C. B. Ray

The Bozmans worked and saved
bought land and more land, goot
land, until they had at the time o
their death 26O acres to which th'
Whitneys have added 40 acres, {
total OF 800 acres in one tract. Be
sides this John and Ella Whitne.
have 165 acres in Bristol.
George Glenn and family came
from Bristol township just fal
enough into Meigsville to lose cit
izenship, and gain one here. In the
Bristol cemetery story, we told Of
them Since that time two more OF
the family have passed on, William
and Mrs. Fanny Johnson, leaving
only Mrs. Mamie Neely, merchant at
Neelyville, and j. l.. Iossie) Glenn
our neighbor here in this new land
We had noticed they had light
when we arose-and wondered how
they could get up so early. Last
night while we were still scrlb-
bling, their light went out. They
probably have heard of that ''early
to bed' saying. Lossie let them
take whate'er they would, but kept
his fathers farm to which he added
the Hattie and Jas. Murray part OF
the Edward Murray farm, all in
Robert Whitehouse farm, just over
the line a short ways in Bristol.
Mrs. Neely, whose location is only
six miles from McConnelsville, has
continued the business of her hus-
band, the late T. J. Neely, in spite of
the fact that most country stores
have succumbed to the chain stores
and mail order houses and so on. AS
we have mentioned in a previous
section, Mrs. Nicely is former
school teacher, one of the kind who
seemed to feel that her work was
not complete until her pupils had
their lessons, and she knew they
had them. LOssie worked and
laughed, seeing the funny things of
life. He is an authority on the solid
things. His good wife, Lulu McCor-
mick Glenn. was born on the old
Mccormick homestead on the Center
road, now owned by the Stewart
brothers. We first met her in Ell
bert Browns school at Salem. She
has worked with Lossie-we might
say on the near side. The Glenns
have been important factors in
church, grange and worth while
community work. We find that
George Glenn and family came to
Meigsville in 1876. Lossie and Lulu
bought and moved to the Jas. Muir
ray farm in 1900. Bought the Hat
tie Murray farm in 1910, and moved
to that house; the two houses are
close together. Miss Murray moved
to McConnelsville where her death
occurred. She never married, living
with her parents until their death.

CUYAHOGA'S LEASE-LEND TIP
FOR TAFT, BENDER, BOLTON

| The poll of Cuyahoga county on
the lend-lease bill makes it clear
that sentiment in this community is
highly favorable to the pending
proposal. OF those expressing opin-
ions, more than 40 percent favor
its enactment in the original form,
while 81 percent prefer it with the
amendments voted by the house.
Since the first group almost to a
man would find the bill acceptable
in the form in which it passed the
house it is fairly apparent that the
county is quite as favorable to the
administration foreign policy as it
was to President Roosevelt's candi-
dacy in the November election.
1t was this rising tide of public
opinion in favor of the bill which
doubtless was responsible in a small
measure for the decision of Senator
Harold H. Burton to vote for it.
When it first came up for discussion
the junior senator from Ohio took a
position not radically different from
that of Senator Taft and a large
majority of the Ohio Republican
delegation in the house. But as the
issues have been clarified and this
nations important stake in the de-
feat of Hitler recognized, Burton
has swung around.
The Plain Dealer commends his
decision and respectfully calls to
the attention of Senator Taft and
the Republican delegation in the
house-and particularly to George
H. Bender and Frances P. Bolton
the results of the Cuyahoga county
poll on the defense bill.
When the bill is sent back to the
house from conference committee,
a week hence or a little later, we
hope that the Ohio vote there will
be substantially larger than it was
before. We should like to believe
that the Republican members of
congress from Ohio are so far COM
mitted to the policy Of full and ef-
fective aid to Britain that they will
accept the advice offered by Wen
dell l.. Willkie to his party asso-
ciates and vote unanimously for
d-lease.-Cleveland Plain Deal

in the Wilson house was at home
! When they found him (you will re
member this was before telephones
he said he knew by coming to thu
mill he would get at least four men
We shut down the mill and hurried
ly went to the scene. After arriv
ing we discussed the matter as tt
how we would get the body to the
house. 1t was suggested that we
catch "nigger holts" and carry him
that way-but some of the older
men thought we should get loungs
from the house and carry him on
that. Then it was remarked that
'He is heavy, and we in lifting
will pull out and the lounge will
come apart-but they insisted and
we placed him on the lounge and
started The daughter was out in
the field through which we had to
pass pacing back and forth wringing
her hands in state Of frenzy. When
we had made about half the dis
tance the predicted happened. The
lounge came apart, letting the body
fall to the gound. But it did not re-
main there long-we soon picked it
up, catching "nigger holts," we car
ried it into the house, laid it on the
floor, went back and got the lounge,
put it together and placed the body
what happened. Perhaps, if for no
other reason we would remember
this incident because it was the first
dead person we had ever had any
part in caring for. After we had un-
dressed washed and put on his un-
derwear, Tom started shaving him
and / astride one of Mr.. Chambers
horses went to Bristol to notify
Mary Chambers, widow of Wilbur,
son of the deceased and her daugh-
ter, now Mrs. Bessie Martin. By
nightfall the word had spread and
the house was full Of neighbors and
friends; several staying through
the night. On the following night
there was only Mr.. Fowler and my
self there to stay, except some who
had been up the previous night.
From our writing you will note
the difference in the undertakers
work, then and now Certainly when
Mr.. Henderson came he embalmed
the body. The death occurred on
Friday. The funeral was held Sun
day p. m. We attended the funeral,
after being up all the previous night.
When we arrived at the Emery
where the services We're
held, there was a partition in the
seats-Bertha Hayes, daughter of
the aforementioned, was seated on
the opposite side Of the partition
from US. We whispered to her, ask
ing her to not let us go to sleep.
We heard them sing the first hymn.
The next thing we knew they were
singing and the undertaken was
starting to have the congregation
take leave. When we got out into
the cemetery we asked Bertha why
she didn't wake us up, to which she
replied "You weren't snoring, and l
thought sleep would do you more
good than the sermon" We have
many deaths, helped
where tragedy had part, but we
can think of no other of which the
have made the impress
sion on US as did the sudden death
of the venerable William Cham
bers. Besides the daughter men
toned, he was the father of three
sons, Samuel, j. A., and Wilbur.

Death Takes Wilson Thompson

DtdIn lakes w 1iSOn luOJ1lDSOu
Wilson Thompson, the last of tht
family of six brothers and threi
sisters, born to Eli and Saral
Thompson was born near Westland
age. His married life was very hap
py with his devoted wife, Lucy Cho
quill Thompson, who departed this
life IL years ago. Because no chill
dren were born to this union, he en-
joyed giving his affections to later
years to relatives who were very
near to him. During the past 49
years he thoroughly enjoyed being
a member of Morgan lodge, l. o. D.
F., and appreciated the opportunity
to render this type of service. The
Methodist church, near his home,
was almost constantly on his mind,
and he was very happy to be mem
Der in good standing through these
many years. His faithfulness has
been a inspiration to those who
have known him. Working at the
carpenter trade he was able to serve
a large number of people in this
community throughout most of his
active life. His main desire was to
do his work we'll. He left this
world Feb. 27, 1941, at an age of
83 years, eight months and "a days.
Looking forward to seeing, face TO
face, another who once served his
community as a carpenter as we'll as
those loved ones who have passed
on before. His nearest relatives sur
viving are Mrs. Frank Finley and
Mrs. Fred Shoop, both of McCon-
nelsville; Mrs Elma Roberts, Ham
mond, Ind; Mrs. Emma Barkhurst,
