                           She leaves to mourn her untimely death, her father and mother; three sisters; Mrs. Eugene Hartshorn and Mrs. Stuart Graham, of Woodsfield, and Miss Barbara, of the home; two brothers; Hubert, of Canton, and David, of the home; three grandparents; Mrs. Abner Highman and Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Bates, all of Woodsfield. A brother and a sister died in infancy.

                           Lorna attended Wayne Local Grade School and was in her sophomore year in Woodsfield High School when she was forced to quit because of her ill health. She loved school and continued to attend when she was really not physically able to do so. She was very much interested in music and expected to finish her High School work when her health permitted.

                           Lorna accepted Christ as her savior in August, 1949, and was baptized by Minister J. V. A. Traylor to become a member of the Richfork Church of Christ.

                           Lorna had been afflicted with a heart condition since birth but was endowed with indomitable courage which enabled her to carry on a normal life in spite of her affliction until the last few months of her life.

                           She was a kind and loving daughter and never complained, always trying to spare her parents as much anxiety as possible. She will be sadly missed by her family who have cared for her so tenderly these many years. She will be missed by her schoolmates and her friends in this community.

                           We, in our weakness, cannot understand why one in the flower of young womanhood should be called home, but we shall not question the infinite wisdom of Almighty God. With His help we shall try to carry on the work she had to leave unfinished.

                           Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, October 16^th, at the Woodsfield Church of Christ with Minister Jack Hawkins officiating. Burial was in the Oaklawn Cemetery with the Bauer & Turner Funeral Home in charge.

Kremer, T. J. Kremer (Judge)

Source: The Monroe County Beacon Woodsfield, Ohio, January 1951

    Not in recent years, if ever, was news of a death received more as a surprise and shock than that of the death of Judge T. J. Kremer Monday afternoon, January 14, 1951, about 2 o’clock. He had been in his usual health and held a session in Common pleas Court from 9:00 to 9:45 in the forenoon.

    At the conclusion of his work, he began to feel uncomfortable and hurried across the street to his home. Mrs. Kremer summoned medical aid at once and he seemed relieved but a severe heart attack resulted in his death a few hours later. He was the last member of his family.

    Judge Kremer was born at Miltonsburg, Ohio on December 28, 1873, a son of Philip and Mary Widner Kremer. His public school education was supplemented by a course in Law at Ohio State University. He was admitted to the bar on December 7, 1901, and practiced in Woodsfield, both as an individual and as a member of the firm of Matz and Kremer.

    Mr. Kremer served two terms as prosecuting attorney of Monroe County, Ohio from 1911-1915.

    In 1944 he was elected Common Peas Judge for a six-year term and last fall was reelected without opposition and on January 2nd had begun his second term.

    During the last illness and after the death of Judge A. C. McDougal, Judge Kremer served as Acting Probate Judge for several months in addition to his own work.

    On November 28, 1905, Mr. Kremer was united in marriage with Miss Eloise Weisend at Woodsfield where they have lived ever since. They reared a family of ten children all of whom are living. The parents lived to realize the glory of age, that of seeing their children out in the world making good.

    They are Mrs. Byron (Ruth) Gillespie and Mrs. Burris (Eloise) Decker of Woodsfield; Mrs. Robert (Hortense) Arther, of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio; Mrs. Robert (Margaret) King, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. John (Betty) Edmonds, of Alexandria, Virginia; Atty. T. J. Kremer, Jr. of Woodsfield; Frederick, of Cuyahoga Falls; William of Skokie, Illinois; George of Arlington, Virginia; and John with the navy in Japan.

    As in most large families, they enjoyed many good times together. The death of the husband and father is the first break in the family circle.

    Judge Kremer was a charter member of the Woodsfield Kiwanis Club and a member of the Monroe County Bar Association.

    He was companionable and friendly in disposition, realistic in his legal and judicial approaches to problems and sought to know the facts on which to base actions and decisions.

    Several years ago, he was actively engaged in the oil business as a producer and operator both in West Virginia and Ohio, and never lost interest on the development of this natural resource of his country.

    Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Schumacher funeral home in charge of the Reverend Robert Brown, of St. Sylvester’s Catholic Church and were largely attended. Interment was made in Oaklawn cemetery, Woodsfield.

THREE    MOUNDSVILLE     RESIDENTS

KILLED     IN     WRECK     NEAR     NATRIUM

        Mrs. John Myers, Everett West and Mrs. Jessie Markley, residents of Moundsville, met death in an automobile crash on Route 2 near Natrium Sunday morning.  Mrs. Myers was killed almost instantly;  Mr. West died at 9:30 Sunday night; and Mrs. Markley passed away in the Wetzel county hospital on Monday.  John Myers, husband of Mrs. Myers; Mildred West, wife of the dead man, and Henry Markley and Donald Rine were all taken to the Wetzel county hospital.  On the death of Mrs. Markley, the husband, Henry Markley, was removed to the Glendale hospital.

        It is reported that the deaths followed a car-truck crash on the highway 18 miles south of Moundsville near the Wetzel county line, and all seven persons were in the car driven by Myers.

        The crash was described in this manner.  Alvan Corkram of Wheeling had skidded off the road in his car which was going north.  He telephoned for aid and was being towed back to the highway by a heavy truck laden with bricks, which was operated by Franklin S. Jochum of Rd. 2, Wheeling.  The truck was on the east side of the highway and the driver had alighted, police said, when the car driven by Myers appeared suddenly and crashed head on.  Aid was summoned from New Martinsville and Natrium and it was more than two hours before Myers was extricated from the demolished car.  Both Corkram and Jochum hurriedly stepped aside and escaped injury.
