On
Mrs. Gatten leaves to
mourn her sad departure the four children mentioned above, twenty-five grand
children, eighteen great grandchildren and a host of other relatives and
friends.
Early in life she
affiliated herself with the Methodist Episcopal Church to which faith she
remained devoutly constant to the end. In early womanhood she was the
foundation of our nation shaken by the Civil War.
She left a dear and loving brother at Gettysburg. Through these and
subsequent crisis and bereavement she was held believing that “All things work
together for good to those who love the Lord.” The simplicity of her faith in
her declining years was a beautiful object lesson to a younger and more
frivolous world. Always generous and tender hearted to sacrifice for others was
part of her nature. Just as her life had been calm, her departure was also
calm, and coming as it did at the eventide one is instinctively reminded of
Tennyson’s immortal poem on death.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me;
And may there be no
moaning of the bar,
When I put out
to sea,
.
But such a tide as
moving seems asleep,
Too full for
sound and foam,
When that which drew
from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
.
Twilight and evening
bell,
And after that
the dark;
And may there be no
sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
.
For though from out our
bourne of
Time and Place
The flood may
bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot
face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

Mrs. Arval Hough and
Edgar Greenstreet were killed and Mr. Hough and Mrs. Greenstreet seriously
injured early last Saturday morning when the automobile driven by Greenstreet
turned over several times. As was stated
in the Daily Rustic Saturday, the accident happened about 2:30 o'clock Saturday
as Mr. and Mrs. Hough and Mr. and Mrs. Greenstreet were returning to Lebanon
from Sedalia, where they and Raymond Kaffenberger, manager of the Skelly Oil
company station, and Mrs. Kaffenberger had attended a Skelly club meeting. From Sedalia, Mr. and Mrs. Kaffenberger went
to Columbia to spend the week-end and did not know of the tragedy until
notified on Saturday. The two occupants
of the roadster driven by Mr. Greenstreet were killed and the other two so
badly injured that they could not give instructions to the passing motorists
who found them as to who should be notified, so the families in Lebanon knew
nothing of the terrible news until 7 o'clock Saturday morning, when Mrs.
Greenstreet, who had been taken back to Sedalia and placed in the hospital,
rallied enough to have attendants notify the Hough and Bramhall families.
Double funeral services
were held Monday afternoon at the Baptist church in Lebanon. The pallbearers for Mrs. Hough were: Loren Bramhall, Lloyd Bramhall, John
Southard, Kenneth Bell Crain and Vernus Kinkade. Those chosen for Mr. Greenstreet were: Raymond Kaffenberger, John E. Walstrom, Jr.,
Harry Jarrell, Firmin Wood, Lee Blair and Clifford Kinkade.
The large church was
filled with sympathizing friends of the three families bereaved by tragedy, the
H. D. Hough, A. T. Bramhall and the E. E. Greenstreet families. A double bereavement in the Bramhall family
as Mrs. Hough and Mrs. Greenstreet were formerly Misses Manola and Hazel
Bramhall. Every bit of standing room was
occupied and many went away, not being able to get inside the church. The chancel where the two caskets stood were
banked with flowers from relatives, friends and these organizations: Sedalia Skelly club, Sinclair service
station, the two Standard Oil service stations, Home Oil company, Tidewater
service station, Nelson service station, Diamond service station, Standard Oil
company, Conoco service station, both departments of the Rice-Stix factory,
Royal Neighbors Rippy Farm club, Women's Missionary society of the Baptist
church, the teachers of the vocational department of the Lebanon high school
and the Isley Tire company of Springfield.
The girls chosen to carry
flowers were Misses Wilma Grimes, Bessie Lewis, Fay Hough and Mrs. Cleo
Johnson. Boys who carried flowers
were: Charles Street, Floyd Climer,
Clarence Burnes, Anderson Jarrell and Orville Smart.

FAIRLAND
MAN KILLED
DEAFNESS
IS BLAMED
Partial
deafness of Paris Harris, 75 years old, of Fairland, was given by Coroner
Thomas Cartmel today as a factor in the accidental death of Mr. Harris late
Wednesday afternoon when he was struck by a locomotive of a west-bound Big Four
passenger train at a crossing immediately west of the Fairland depot.
Mr.
Harris was walking toward his home at the west edge of Fairland at the time of
the accident, after having bought a loaf of bread at a Fairland grocery. He was
killed instantly. His body was hurled a distance of about 25 feet, the impact
caused a fractured neck, a crushed chest, and shattering of the bones in the
left hip of the accident victim.
A Mr.
Roach, fireman, was the only member of the train crew who saw the accident.
Coroner Cartmel learned that Mr. Harris had had several narrow escapes in
crossing the railroad tracks. Mr. Harris leaves a widow and five sons and daughters.
Mr.
Harris had spent a few hours fishing earlier in the day with a son, Thomas
Harris, a member of the Indianapolis force. The son left for Indianapolis at
about 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon.
The fast
train that struck Mr. Harris was due in Fairland at 4:05, but was a few minutes
late. The fireman, seeing the accident, signaled to the engineer, F. P. Berry,
to stop the train, and the latter did so. Coroner Cartmel was informed that
Mrs. Louis Lee of Fairland was an eye-witness to the accident, from the west
side of the tracks, and planned to obtain a statement from Mrs. Lee, as well as
from two members of the train crew.
Mr.
Harris lived in Shelbyville until about ten years ago, when he and his wife
moved to Fairland.
The
deceased was born in Monroe county, Indiana, October
14, 1855, the son of George and Eliza Johnson Harris. His marriage to Miss
Minerva Hoop took place January 23, 1881. Of nine children born to them, two
daughters and three sons survive. They are: Mrs. Carrie McNutt, of
Indianapolis; Mrs. Alice Henninger, Indianapolis; Clarence and Harry Harris, of
Shelbyville, and Thomas of Indianapolis. Mr. Harris also leaves seven
grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
The funeral services will be held in
the late home at Fairland Friday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, and the Rev. W. A.
Ryland, pastor of the Fairland M.E. church will officiate. Burial will be in
the family lot in the Fairland cemetery, in charge of C. F. Fix & Son.
Friends may call at the late home any time after 5:00 p.m. today.

injured early last Saturday morning when the automobile driven by Greenstreet
turned over several times. As was stated

as Mr. and Mrs. Hough and Mr. and Mrs. Greenstreet were returning to Lebanon
from Sedalia, where they and Raymond Kaffenberger, manager of the Skelly Oil
company station, and Mrs. Kaffenberger had attended a Skelly club meeting. From Sedalia, Mr. and Mrs. Kaffenberger went
to Columbia to spend the week-end and did not know of the tragedy until
notified on Saturday. The two occupants
of the roadster driven by Mr. Greenstreet were killed and the other two so
badly injured that they could not give instructions to the passing motorists
who found them as to who should be notified, so the families in Lebanon knew
nothing of the terrible news until 7 o'clock Saturday morning, when Mrs.
Greenstreet, who had been taken back to Sedalia and placed in the hospital,
rallied enough to have attendants notify the Hough and Bramhall families.
Double funeral services

Bramhall. Every bit of standing room was
occupied and many went away, not being able to get inside the church. The chancel where the two caskets stood were
banked with flowers from relatives, friends and these organizations: Sedalia Skelly club, Sinclair service
station, the two Standard Oil service stations, Home Oil company, Tidewater
service station, Nelson service station, Diamond service station, Standard Oil
company, Conoco service station, both departments of the Rice-Stix factory,
Royal Neighbors Rippy Farm club, Women's Missionary society of the Baptist
church, the teachers of the vocational department of the Lebanon high school
and the Isley Tire company of Springfield.

Hubbard, Joseph B. Hubbard
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated,
Joseph B. Hubbard first
saw the light of day at Wills Creek, Monroe County,
J. B. Hubbard was
recorder of deeds of Monroe County at the time of his death. In his care were
the precious documents of this county. How prompt and conscientious he was in
his duty toward Monroe County is a matter of record. So, Rev. H. R. Chalfant of
the Methodist Episcopal church took as his text II Corinthians 1:23: “Morevover
I call God for a record upon my soul.” The speaker dwelt upon his care and
faithfulness as Recorder of deeds and the documents of the county. The record
of his soul was in the hands of the God Almighty who knew his piety and his
closer walk with God. Rev. Henry Fox of the St. Paul’s Evangelical church
conducted the services and dwelt briefly upon the plain, simple life of service
of J. B. Hubbard as husband, father, brother, neighbor, friend, advisor and
Recorder, his place of humility among his fellow men.
Kind neighbors and
friends as well as the associates from the court house came to offer their
friendly services to the family as soon as the sad news of his passing was made
known. Their deeds of kindness, their words of sympathy, the floral tributes,
the tender hymns, all spoke eloquently of the esteem in which he was held. The
home was filled to overflowing at the funeral services. Then mournfully and
silently came the journey to his final resting place
at Oaklawn cemetery where reverently bowed heads and bated breath witnessed the
committal service.
There remain to mourn
his sudden departure his widow, Louise May Cline Hubbard, with whom he was
united in marriage
The family takes this
opportunity to thank all who at the time of Mr. Hubbard’s death by word or deed
showed such comforting kindness.

NATIVE OF MARIETTA SUCCUMBS
Pearl McCurdy, 38, World
War veteran, native of Marietta and a resident of this city until a year or two
ago, died in Zanesville early Sunday morning.
He was a victim of pneumonia with his death actually due to exposure
according to Zanesville police.
Taken ill a few days ago
McCurdy was attended at his home. He
grew worse and developed a case of pneumonia.
Late Saturday night, it is said, he arose from his bed and wandered away
from the house. An alarm was given as
soon as he was missed but before he was found, he had fallen unconscious to the
ground and he died a short time afterward.
Marietta police were
notified Sunday afternoon of McCurdy's death and were asked to communicate with
relatives here. They were located and
the body of the dead man was moved to Marietta late Sunday evening.
BADLY WOUNDED
McCurdy attracted
widespread local attention a few years ago when his disability claims were
recognized by the government and he was paid a large sum of money in the way of
compensatiion for war time injuries.
Allowance of his claim established the fact that during many months of
service in France, McCurdy had been gassed and had been wounded . . . [THIS ENTIRE LINE IS ILLEGIBLE] in the A. E.
F. suffered more injuries than did any Marietta man and his record shows that
he literally was shot to pieces.
During the years immediately following the
war McCurdy spent most of his time in army hospitals. One operation followed another and finally he
was discharged to take his place in civilian life. Then his claims were allowed. He married about that time and took up his
home in Marietta. Domestic differences
ended that union and later he secured a divorce. Again he married and since that time he and
his second wife and their child have been living in Zanesville.
MILITARY FUNERAL
McCurdy was a son of the
late Douglas and Clarabelle McCurdy of Douglas Avenue, West Side. In addition to his family in Zanesville he is
survived by several brothers and sisters, Lawrence McCurdy of Cleveland, Mrs.
Freda Meeks of Waverly, W. Va., Mrs. Frances McCullick of Williamstown, W. Va.,
Mrs. Goldie Smith of Columbus, and Walter and Geneva McCurdy of Marietta.

Morris, Lee Morris
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated,
Scores of friends in
this community were sorely shocked and grieved.
when word came of the death of Lee Morris
at the Ohio Valley General Hospital, Wheeling at
Just prior to entering
the hospital he had been ill from an attack of the measles. Immediately
following this a highly vicious type of blood infection resulted from a scratch
on his right thumb, and upon consulting with physician he was ordered taken to
the hospital at once.
After a brave struggle,
this infection was apparently conquered. Pleurisy developed and this too ran
its course and the patient seemed well on his way to recovery. But the long
fight against these various onslaughts proved to great a strain on the heart
and collapse came about 36 hours prior to his death. Blood transfusions had
been given at intervals during his illness, and oxygen was used in the hope
that the heart might be able to regain some measure of strength, but to no
avail.
Mr. Morris was born in
Center township, this county, 34 years ago. For the
past three years he had been employed as custodian of Linsly Institute,
Wheeling. He also owned the confectionery on South Main street,
Woodsfield, now being operated by Mrs. Estella DeCovey. He had been married
about twelve years.
Besides his wife, Mrs.
Ina Keller Morris, he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Catherine Morris, of High
street, Woodsfield and two sisters, Miss Oliva Morris of High street and Miss
Temple Morris of North Sycamore street, Woodsfield; two brothers, Edward of

The following grandchildren
also survive:

Parry, Jr. of Akron; Jane E. Parry, John Rogers Parry III, of Philadelphia.
At the age of fourteen,
J. R. Parry entered Jacktown Academy at Jacktown, Pa. After completing his
course there he took his pre-medical work at the Monongahela College and
Allegheny College. At intervals during his college work he was engaged in
teaching. Meanwhile he was reading medicine under his older brother, Dr. W. M.
Parry, and later he took the full course in medicine and surgery then offered
at the Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati, now known as the University of
Cincinnati.
In 1891 and 1892 he
pursued graduate courses in general medicine, physicial diagnosis and operative
surgery, at the New York Polyclinic, for which he was granted a diploma in the
latter year.
The early years of Dr.
Parry’s general practice were spent in Graysville, Monroe County, Ohio. Later
he transferred his residence to Woodsfield, entering into professional
partnership with the late Dr. T. H. Armstrong.
Coincident with Dr.
Parry’s general practice he was U.S. Pension Examiner for 44 years during the
entire period of the late war he was physician on the examining board for
soldiers; was also a member of the Volunteer Medical Service Corps. Authorized
by the Council of National Defense, for which war services he was given special
recognition by the government; was surgeon of the O. R. & W. Railway Co.
until the line was discontinued a few years ago.
Dr. Parry was a member
of the Presbyterian Church; also of B. P. O. E., No. 114, Zanesville.
Throughout the years of
his practice he maintained membership in the American Medical Association, and
was also a member of the Monroe County Medical Association during its
existence.
Dr. Parry practiced his
profession for over half a century 56 years to be exact. Although of a
naturally rugged physique, the time came when he could no longer practice
actively. His struggle against the odds of advancing years finally ended in
death. He strove for life with the same persistence which had saved the lives
of many of his patients, but it was destined that a career remarkable for
useful, kindly service should come to an end.
The passing of a useful
life from a community is ever a matter of sorrow and regret upon the part of
the citizens of that community. Yet in the passing of these lives we still
continue to feel their influence. Many are the thoughts that come to those who
mourn at the last rites of a friend. The veil of petty misunderstandings that
blind us to the better things of life is for the moment swept aside and we
become convinced that out of the intricate maze of experiences, heartaches and
disappointments which may be referred to as our daily lives—two things stand
out as being superbly worthwhile. Briefly they are, character, and a desire to
be of service to our fellow-man. Perfection is never achieved by any mortal.
But in striving for excellence in these two desirable attributes we are
building a solid foundation for the life eternal.
Dr. Parry’s life was one
of devotion to his profession and to his family.
To those who find
themselves in position to do so, life affords no greater satisfaction than that
offered in aiding those who are willing, to advance themselves in a worthwhile
way. For many years during his practice of medicine, Dr. Parry found it advisable
to have the assistance of able-bodied young men to help him reach some of the
more remote rural calls. Over the coarse of years
these young men were numerous. It was Dr. Parry’s great desire that they
improve themselves and many of them did so. Today some of these young men,
through the aid and encouragement extended to them by Dr. Parry and his family,
occupy enviable positions in the business and professional world. Needless to
say, their gratitude to the man who started them on the road to success and a
broader outlook upon life is deep and everlasting.
Dr. Parry was permitted
to live to serve three generations in the practice of his profession a very
enviable record. Columns could be written about the sacrifices made and the
good deeds performed by him as well as by others, of the older school of
physicians in this county who have passed on, but a
legion of grateful patients can best attest to this.
Funeral services in
charge of Rev. W. Hilton Petry were held from the late home on Friday, August

Mrs. Mary E. Taggart,
formerly of Nashville, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Edson Emerson,*
five miles north of Fredonia, Kansas, February 1.
Mrs. Taggart was born at
Bentwood, West Virginia, June 29, 1844.** She moved with her parents, Henry and
Christina Volland,*** when a girl of four years of age, to Nashville. Here she grew to womanhood and it was here
that she was united in marriage to William F. Taggart, March 5, 1885. Six children were born to them. Mr. and Mrs. Taggart went west early in their
married life and settled at Hutchison, Kansas, where they lived for a number of
years. When sixteen years of age she
united with the Presbyterian church from which
denomination she never moved her membership.
However, much of her christian service was
rendered in the Methodist church, where she frequently worshiped. She was a devoted mother, a faithful friend
and a good neighbor. At the time of her
death she was sixty-nine years, seven months and two days of age. Four of her children, two sons and two daughters,
preceded her in death.
