Francis Sulsberger had just delivered a load of coal and
driven his team a short distance from the scene of disaster and was returning
to the boiler house when the accident occurred. He was badly stunned, his face
and eyes were filled with dirt. When he regained consciousness he went in
search of the dead men and found them as above described. But one of the
boilers exploded, the un-exploded boiler was thrown several feet off its
foundation.
As soon as the news of the sad accident reached town
several persons hastened to the Block farm and the remains of the two men were

interred beside her husband at Sutherland, Rev. Ault, of Berne, conducting

been a sufferer for several years, but the morning of her death she had been no
worse than usual.
She had walked out on the porch and returning into the
house, had eaten her breakfast. Soon afterward, she asked the members of the
family, who were present, if they heard the explosion and immediately expired.
It is supposed that the disease reached a vital point at that moment.
We remember Mrs. Mallet as one of those quiet, unassuming
women whose whole life is devoted to kindness and good deeds, not only to her
own family, but to every one near her, and who strengthens our confidence in
humanity by feeding it the milk of human kindness.

Mallett, Olive Jane Mallett 2nd
obit
Spirit of Democracy,
Death, that grim monster so much dreaded by the entire
human race, has once more reached forth his icy fingers and claimed for his
victim the spirit of Miss Olive Jane Mallett. She was born December 30, 1897
(sic 1879), and departed this life February 7, 1907.
She had been a faithful
member of the M.E. church at Sutherland ever since she was about sixteen years
of age, having answered the call of her master when Rev. Patterson was pastor
of the charge. She had always lived a noble life, full of deeds of kindness a
pattern for all.
She leaves to mourn her early
death, a grief stricken father, three sisters, Berth, Dora and Luna, two
brothers, Ernest and
Her mother preceded her to
that better land several years ago and Ollie being the oldest, the cares of the
household fell upon her, and since she had taken a mother s place in the hearts
of the younger brothers and sisters, and oh, how sadly will she be missed in
the home, and not only in the home but in the church, just a few steps from her
home, where she has been working faithfully for several years, will her friends
sadly feel her loss.
She had served as
superintendent in the Sunday school for two years and was for several years a
teacher in the school. She was always present at the church services and at the
post of duty, always ready to do her Master s bidding just as long as health
permitted until that dread disease consumption laid claim upon her for its
victim. Even after she was taken ill she would often express the wish to be
with God s people in their worship. Although Ollie is no more with us in the
body her influence will be long in the hearts of those who knew her and no one
could know her without loving her.
Dear friends do not grieve,
Ollie is not dead, only resting in peace with her Savior whom she loved so
dearly. Never more will she know the pain and suffering experienced on earth.
We have the blessed assurance that through the precious blood of Jesus Christ
we will meet her on that bright shore to spend the endless eternity. O may we
all be prepared to meet death as bravely as she. Never through her long illness
was she heard to murmur or complain but was always bright and cheerful, always
meeting those dear ones left behind with kind words and smiles. So to them we
will say, do not think of her as lying in the cold grave but look through your
tears on to that bright and happy home beyond the skies and think what she is
enjoying compared to the enjoyments of this earth.

John N. Martin departed this life Thursday morning,
John N. Martin was an honored and highly esteemed citizen
of Beallsville, honored because of his wise counsel and long experience in
business and high moral character. He was treasurer of Sunsbury township for
many years. No word of evil or of criticism has been spoken of John N. Martin.
This can be said of but few men. He was a man of sound judgment, of keen
intellect, and always ready to lend a hand where help was needed.
In social relations his character was brought out in strong
relief and in the most favorable light. He lived for his family, a devoted
husband, a faithful friend.
John N. Martin was the oldest member of the Dexter lodge,
No. 396, I.O.O.F. of Beallsville,
Experience teaches us how vain it is to try to gild a grief
with words. We know that, for the aching heart that is left behind, where the
icy hand of death has closed in everlasting sleep the eyes of him whom she
loved and honored, all the varied philosophy of life can offer but little consolation.
Yet we counsel patient recognition of the work and will of the Inscrutable. The
dream of immortality, born of human love, leads us to believe that ere a few
brief, it may be only days, we shall meet and kiss again the lips we loved in
life.
The funeral ceremony was conducted by Rev. Alexander of the
Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. Scott and Rev. Schultz. The impressive
ceremonies of the I.O.O.F. were held at the church and the grave. Nothing was
more impressive, no tribute to his worth more stronger, than that large
concourse of friends that followed Brother Martin to his last resting place.
About ninety Oddfellows and Rebecka s took part in the services. About thirty
Oddfellows from Woodsfield attended the funeral.

Mildred, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Warner of Calais,
Ohio whose sad death awakes us to a personal realization of the meaning of that
great writer known as the Children s Poet, was born May 23, 1895, and died July
11, 1907.
On Saturday evening, June 22, Mildred was the victim of a
terrible accident which deprived so many of us her loved presence and left us
with aching hearts. She in her ever cheerful helpfulness was assisting her
mother in preparing supper, when in taking something from the stove her
clothing became ignited and before her mother and little brother Rodney, who
were in the dining room, could reach her she ran out into the open air, and
quite a little distance before they came up to her, and Rodney ( who with rare
thoughtfulness for one so young) put out the flames with a large bucket of
water which he snatched when he started to his much-loved sister s assistance.
But our darling was so badly injured that she could not get well, and after
lingering nineteen days in great pain which she endured with sublime
cheerfulness and fortitude she left us, and her lovely spirit winged its way to
the pitying Savior who said, Suffer little children to come unto me.
The funeral services conducted by Rev. Charles Fogle of
Barnesville, were held Friday, July 12, at the church near her home, where
Mildred was a regular attendant, and where she always was ready to assist in
the general exercises with memorized scripture quotations. At the conclusion of
the comforting and uplifting sermon of Rev. Fogle, the loving form of Mildred
in her beautiful casket covered with flowers and followed by hosts of sorrowing
friends, was taken to the

She leaves at home father, mother and four brothers whose
hearts are almost breaking over the loss of their only daughter and sister. The
nine year old twin brothers, Roger and Rodney, will especially miss her when
they start to school, for she was always with them, always kind, and exerted an
influence over them that was beautiful to see.
One less at home!
A sense of loss that meets us at the gate;
Within, a place unfilled and desolate;
And far away, our coming to wait

That home whence none is missed eternally!

At home in Heaven!

Ella Leona Pope was born July
3,* 1907, and died Monday, October 28,* 1907, being at the time of her death 21
years, 3 months and 26 days old.
She was the oldest daughter
of Marion and Carrie Pope, who still survive her. She is also survived by four
brothers and three sisters--Iva [sic--Ira], Stella, Alta, Ray, Jesse,
Fern and Scott.
She also leaves one that was
dearer than all others to her and often said for his sake would be so glad to
live.
In October, 1902, she united
with the Lewis Creek Baptist church, remaining a true, faithful member until
her death.
As a daughter, she was
dutiful and kind, always ready to make any sacrifice for her parents; as a
sister she was kind and patient and was so proud to think she had good brothers
and sisters.
As a christian we have no
words to express her worth. She trusted Christ implicitly. We always found her
ready and willing to do all she could for the Master's cause. Last year when
two of her Sunday School class acknowledged Christ as their Savior she
exclaimed, "Oh, how happy I would be if I knew some word of mine had
helped them to make this start."
She often said she prayed the
Lord might use her in bringing her own family home to Jesus, and last Sunday
evening she told a friend that she believed yet her prayer would be answered.
While Ella is gone and we
will miss her so sorely, we feel we can look up and see her--
Safe in the arms of Jesus
Safe on his gentle breast
There by his love o'er
shadowed
Sweetly her soul shall rest.

The Sentinel,
On Monday night,
The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. H.
L. Peoples Wednesday afternoon. The text chosen by him was very appropriate and
one that applied to the life she lived: Strength and horror are her clothing;
and she shall rejoice in time to come, taken from Proverbs, 25th
verse on the 31st chapter. Everyone that knew Mrs. Reed loved and
honored her. Her character was composed of those pure and noble qualities that
make life honored, and sheds its influence upon those coming in contact with
them.
She united with the M. E. Church at this place in her youth
and for sixty years remained in the service of her heavenly Master.
Followed by a large concourse of friends and relatives, her
remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Swazey, by the side of her
husband, John Reed, to whom she was united in marriage in youth. To that union
were born ten children, four of whom have preceded her to the better land
several years ago. The others were all present to take a last farewell of their
mother except Mrs. Ferring Neiswonger. She had been with her mother for several
weeks before her death but on account of sickness was forced to return to her
home and was not able to be present at the funeral.
She has lived a long life of usefulness, always being a
sweet counselor and guide to her children in the many struggles thru life, and
she will be sadly missed by all, but to those remaining in the old home,
Clarisse and Russel and a grand-daughter, Lou, whom she has cared for from
childhood, will her absence seem most unbearable. To them we can only say, Look
to Jesus Christ as she has done, for comfort and guidance in all sorrow.
If we do this, we have the
blessed assurance that we shall all meet again face to face, in that beautiful
city where we shall never more know sickness and sorrow. Mother has been with
them many years and through many trials but her weary hands are now at rest
with her Savior. She cannot come to us but we can go to her if we but live in
the way that we would have us.
Weep not dear friends for the
departed, as they are much happier than on earth.
We extend our heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family and may they look to God for strength to bear
