and 14 days old when he passed away.
Warren was a great lover of
music, was often found sitting by the radio, being mesmerized by the music in
the air--music which seemed to breathe a thought in language sweeter than was
ever uttered by human tongue. He was often heard singing his favorite songs. He
was continually scattering bright smiles in the home and among his
associates--his smiles and songs brought much happiness into the home. He
learned early in life the good trait of dividing his possessions with his
joyful playmates.
He was looking forward with
untold pleasure to this coming summer to spend it in the county where he could
hear the humming of the bees and hear sweet songs flowing from mellow throats
of mocking birds; but now he has gone to that sinless summerland where the
birds are forever singing and the flowers in their beauty never fade over
Jordan's swelling stream, over the silent sea and by the shining shore, waiting
to welcome us there when we too shall bid farewell to time.
Warren was in the third grade.
he was a regular member of The Sunday School Class. He was just sleepy and
never complained during all his suffering.
He leaves to mourn, father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. Clark Cronin; one sister, Helen; one brother Ward; grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. Ardell Smith, of Parkers Landing, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. E.E. Cronin of
Woodsfield; also leaves a number of aunts and uncles, cousins and a host of
friends.
Little Warren has gone and left us.
We are sad and will
miss him so;
But God in His Infinite wisdom
Knows best and
called him from this world of woe.
So let us all try to live to meet him
In that
beautiful land above
Where we will dwell together forever,
With God and
his angels of love.

And her person is lost to view.
Oh, that dear one, how we loved her;
Oh, how hard to give her up;
But, the angels came down for her
And removed her from our flock.
We miss thee from thy place.
A shadow o'er our life is cast
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.

Levina
Ann Sorenson nee Kinkade
Source: Stark County News,
Toulon, Illinois; April 6, 1932
The following life sketch and obituary was read at the service.
Into the home of David
and Mary Cronin Kinkade on October 9, 1857, came a daughter whom they named
Levina Ann. In that home were three
brothers and two sisters, Joseph, Andrew, Arounah, Levina Ann and Paulina
Jane. But with the birth of the sister,
Paulina Jane, came the death of the mother in 1860. Later, in 1865, a new mother came into the
home, and with the advent of younger brothers and sisters many and heavy cares
developed unto the oldest daughter, but she was always glad to do what she
could.
Early in life she became
a Christian, uniting with the Christian Church.
When she married Edgar D. Claybaugh, Dec. 9, 1875, she became a member
of the Saxon Baptist Church, later transferring her membership to the Toulon
Baptish Church in December 1886, since which time she was a faithful and valued
member of this church, ever ready to do her share and always inspiring others
with her kindliness, willingness and cheer.
February 4, 1887 she was
left a widow with five children to care for and a home not quite her own, but
she continued a cheer-maker, a song-bringer and a noble Christian mother to her
children. In March 1890 she was married
to Christie Sorenson and she again assumed a big responsibility in the care of
his five motherless children. To this
union three children were born. But it
again seemed that a time of trial was due for her, for on Dec. 5, 1926, she was
again left a widow, but the widow's God had been her stay and had not left her
defenseless.
Quietly and peacefully,
after months of physical suffering and weakness, she slept away, death coming
at 10:25 a.m. Thursday. She leaves to
mourn the following children: Grace G.
Claybaugh, Claude C. Claybaugh, Mrs. Thomas H. Pyle, and Mrs. William O.
Goodwin, all of Toulon; Ralph R. Claybaugh of Brimfield; Mrs. Nelson J. Kilby,
of Coal Valley; and Mrs. Glenn Hobbs, of Milwaukee, Wis.; also 13 grandsons, 13
granddaughters, two great grandsons and two great granddaughters. There are also surviving her a brother,
Joseph Kinkade, of Grand View, Wash.; two half-sisters, Mrs. Hettie Clark and
Mrs. Martha Wright of Hutchinson, Kans., and many other relatives and scores of
friends.
She was a woman who loved
her home and family intensely although she was quiet and unassuming. Throughout the years, in sunshine or shadow,
in joy or sorrow and often in hardship, she always remained true and faithful
to her God, and always went about her work with a song upon her lips and faith
in her heart.

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.
For a number of years
McCurdy was actively connected with the American Legion and he will be accorded
military rights at his funeral.

found, said that Jacob had suffered a partial stroke recently and had been
despondent since. Burkhart had been through

If she had lived her allotted three score years and ten she could have
done no nobler. She has done what she
could. The Master will say well done,
Hazel.
Dearest Hazel thou
has left us,
And our loss we
deeply feel,
But tis God that
hast bereft us
He will all our
sorrows heal;
For in heaven we hope
to meet thee,
Where no farewell
tears are shed.
CARD OF THANKS
We also take this means
of thanking all our neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us at the time
of our bereavement. Also thanking the
singers and Rev. Walters for words of comfort and Mr. Eberly for the way he
conducted services, and all those who sent flowers.

Lawrence Ackerman, age 12, was accidentally struck by an
automobile driven by Arnold Schwall of Woodsfield last Tuesday afternoon. The
accident occurred one mile east of Lewisville on the Lewisville-Woodsfield
road. Lawrence suffered a fractured skull and crushed chest when he struck the
pavement.
Lawrence was coming toward Woodsfield with his little wagon.
When he came to the driveway of a filling station, Mr. Schwall approached him
from the rear and blew his horn. Instead of turning off the main highway into
the driveway to let Mr. Schwall pass, Lawrence turned directly across the
pavement in front of the car. It is believed that he thought Mr. Schwall wanted
to drive into the driveway of the filling station and turned across the
pavement to get out of the way.
Lawrence was removed to a Barnesville hospital where he died
early Thursday morning.
Since the death of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Ackerman,
he has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Weber, one mile east of Lewisville.
Mabel Ackerman of Woodsfield is a sister of Lawrence.

Mary Lorena Sims nee

Monday, June 6, 1938
On September 30, 1900, an
angel from heaven delivered a bright little babe to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
William Thomas Christman, of Woodsfield, Ohio. This babe, their only daughter,
was named Mary Lorena. On Tuesday morning, May 17, 1938, God again sent an
angel to visit us, this time the angel of Death, who slipped his hand in hers
and led her through the dark Valley of Death to again resume her work in
Heaven.
At the time of her death she
was just 37 years, 7 months and 17 days old.
When she was a small child, she became a member of the First
Presbyterian Church. She was married to Pearl E. Sims on June 18, 1916. Five
children were born to this union. She leaves to mourn her departure her
husband, children Gerald, Ruth, Vera, Edna, Mary Jean, her mother and father,
two brothers, Arthur and Walter, and a host of other relatives and friends.
From the beginning of her
lengthy illness until her death she was never heard to complain. Until the end
her faith in her God was unshaken. Our loving hands and faithful service of our
doctors could not help her suffering, so God called her home to a land where
pain and sorrow are unknown.
The body was brought to the
Bauer, Willison & Turner Funeral Home and returned to the family home, Tuesday
evening. Funeral services were held in charge of Rev. Harry Bates of the Free
Methodist Church, at the home of her parents on South High Street on Thursday
afternoon at 2:00 o clock at the home. Her body was laid to rest in OakLawn
Cemetery, where she will await that day when God shall call all men before his
throne on High.
I cannot say, and I will not say
That she is dead - she is just away!
With a cherry smile, and a wave of the hand,
She has wandered into a better land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
It neets must be, since she lingers there.
And you - O you, who the mildest yearn
For the old-time sleep and the glad return -
Think of her faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here;
Think of her still as the same, I say:
She is not dead - she is just away.

will of a wide acquaintance. Her passing to her heavenly reward is
mourned by scores of friends beyond the family circle." (11 August

Winfield Scott
Gatten, oldest son of Joseph Thomas Gatten and Hannah Jane Highman Gatten, was
born at Graysville, Ohio on September 5, 1872. He departed this life at his
home on Sycamore Street at 12:20 Thursday afternoon, August 31, 1944,
having attained the age of 71 years, 11 months and 26 days. He had been
ailing for a few weeks from a heart condition.
He was united in marriage with Martha Viola Smith on February 25, 1899.
Mr. Gatten
leaves to mourn his departure, besides his wife, one son, Oliver Thurman
Gatten, of Lewisville: five daughters. Mrs. W.W. Willison, of Smithville, Ohio;
Mrs. Chloe May Farley, of Akron; Mrs. Mary Mildred Hoover, of Akron; Mrs. Edna
Lourena Simmons and Mrs. Sarah Jane Cramblett, of Woodsfield; two brothers,
John Gatten, of Woodsfield, and Hamilton Gatten, of Crystal, Michigan; fourteen
grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends.
He was preceded
in death by his father and mother; one brother, Oliver Gatten; one sister, Mrs.
Tabitha Jane Gray, and one grandson, Jack Edwin Farley, who passed away August
31, 1942, exactly two years before his own death.
His entire life
was spent in Monroe County. A builder of houses by vocation, he leaves many
structures as monuments to his industry and craftsmanship. In his daily work he
took great pride in doing things well, remembering that 1900 years ago, in
Nazareth, across the ocean, Jesus of Nazareth was a carpenter.In early youth he
became interested in spiritual things, and an intense student of the holy
scriptures. Having learned his duty, he obeyed the gospel at Richfork
congregation, was baptized in the icy waters of Richfork stream, and forthwith,
set himself to the task of becoming as active worker in the church. He was a
faithful member of The Church of Christ. As an exhorter, a teacher, a
song leader, and an elder, his life has been an inspiration to all who knew
him. In his daily work, as in his worship, he implicitly obeyed the scriptural
induction to " Study to show thyself approved unto God: a workman that
needeth not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth."
Mr. and Mrs.
Gatten resided on a farm in Wayne Township, Ohio until about 1942 when the
moved to Woodsfield, Ohio.
Devout, patient,
informed, charitable of faults in others, faithful to his friends and his
convictions, of him it can be truly said that he remained faithful to the
end. Like the crashing of the mighty tree on the horizon, his sudden passing
leaves a void in the family circle, the community, and the church, a void that
will not be soon or easily filled.
Green grew the grass above thee:
Friend of our better days.
None knew thee but to love thee;
Nor named thee but to praise.

A double drowning shocked the
Stafford-Lewisville communities Sunday afternoon when two fine young men lost
their lives in Clearfork Creek, about two miles southeast of Stafford. They
were James Henry Ullman, who would have been 22 years of age on June 29 and
Clair Devore who was 17 years old last November 6. Devore, a fairly good
swimmer was in the water, which in places was 12 to 15 feet deep. He cautioned
his friend not to come out too far and Ullman replied that he would wade close
to the bank. As he was wading he suddenly disappeared, apparently
stepping into a deep hole. Devore went to aid him and both were drowned.
This is according to three ten
year old boys, Donald and Charles Hines and Junior Robbins who were sitting on
the bank. They summoned help and Leonard Hines and William Hawkins arrived
almost immediately and Ullman was taken out of the water in about 15 minutes,
but he couldn't be saved while Devore was in the water about 45 minutes.
Devore was graduated this year
from the Lewisville High School and had done excellent work. He had won a
four-year scholarship in college of agriculture at Ohio State University.
He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Devore of near Lewisville;
one brother Carl who is with the armed forces in England and Glen
of the home and four sisters, Mrs. Chester Deeker, Geraldine, Eileen and Joan
of the home.

William E. Dietrich Dies At Hannibal
Died, January 19, 1945
Provided by Lena Kahrig Pettit, typed by Betty Lendon Matson
Saturday afternoon, Monroe
County, lost one of her best known citizens in the person of William F.
Dietrich, whose death occurred at his home near Hannibal at 4 o'clock. He
retired Friday evening apparently as usual but became ill in the night, having
suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. A physician was summoned but the strong
physique that had served an active mind for nearly 79 years had yielded to the
inevitable.
Mr. Dietrich was born April 28,
1866, being one of a family of twelve children born to the late John and Sarah
Dietrich, who moved from a farm near Welcome, W.Va. to the present farm on
"Buckhill Bottom" when Mr. Dietrich was six years old. Here he spent
his boyhood, received the customary rural school education and on February 27,
1890, he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah J. Cline. To this same home he
brought his bride and here they reared their family, made a good living and a
little more, supported schools and churches, and in short exemplified The
American way of life at its best.
Both parents lived to realize
the glory of age, that of seeing their children out in the world making good,
and took a just pride therein.
Recognized by reason of
character, ability and personality, Mr. Dietrich served his community in
various capacities. Not only was he a faithful member of The Methodist Church
at Hannibal, but he served on the church board for many years, also as member
of the township school board and as township trustee, he was instrumental in
securing
better school facilities and road improvement in his community. From 1912
to 1916 he served as county commissioner and at the time of his death was a
member of the county board of education, and had been for nine years. In both
larger spheres he was an advocate of improvement and progress.
Mr. and Mrs. Dietrich took life
in its stride, including the solicitude of those in military service of two
wars. His son, Donald C. Dietrich, now treasurer and general manager of The
Wheeling Wholesale Grocery Co. and member of Wheeling city council was a member
of the first contingent of nine men to go to Camp Sherman in World War 1. They
left for Camp Sherman on Sept. 7, 1917.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon at The Rush Funeral Home in Clarington in charge of his
pastor, Rev. Kenneth Evans, and were largely attended. Sympathy and esteem of
friends were evidenced by many floral offerings from individuals and
organizations.
Interment was made in the family
lot in The Buckhill Cemetery, near the late residence.
Up to the day of his death, Mr.
Dietrich's habitual energy, self-reliance and desire to be useful characterized
his daily life. He refused to retire in the usual sense of the word, and was
carrying a farm program worthy the effort of a man many years his junior.

Many friends in Monroe County
regretted last week to learn of the death of John. W. Feiock, 78, at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Marion Robinson at Hebron. He had been in failing health
the past year and confined to his bed for several weeks prior to his death,

Lewisville during the oil boom period and before the day of automobile travel.
His pleasing personality and congeniality made many friends and he was elected
sheriff of Monroe County serving from 1910 to 1914. He also served as
deputy fire marshall of Monroe, Belmont and Washington counties by appointment
when James M. Cox was governor.
Twenty-two years ago he moved to
Hebron. He was always an ardent Democrat, but in 1924 he was elected Mayor of
Hebron, serving two terms and was again elected in 1943. In the interim he
served as a justice of the peace.
Kindness, justice and fairness
in his relations with people were outstanding characteristics of his personality,
always. He was a member of St. Peter's Evangelical & Reformed Church in
Lewisville and also of Hebron Lodge F. & A.M.
Besides his widow, Louisa
(Friday) Feiock, he is survived by one daughter, Eunice, Mrs. Marion
Robinson; a grandson, Paul Robinson, in The U.S. Navy. and one
brother Charles E. Feiock, of Lewisville.
Funeral services were held at

Nights are gloomy by the lamp light
Something
missing from the room
It is our dear son Russell
Gone
and left us to remain.
We seem to hear his footsteps
But
it is only a dream
For he is sweetly sleeping
Far
from earth's sorrow and care.
Russell is gone but not forgotten
Never
will his memory fade
Sweetest thought shall ever linger
Around
the grave where he is laid.
Yes we know you had pain and sorrow
While
on earth with us you stayed
But know all this is over
Since
your trip o'er Gordon's made.
Many friends speak words of comfort
Speak
of good deeds you have done
And we often talk together
Of
the happiness we had.
Beneath our eyes he faded slowly
Growing
day and day more frail
Bearing sweetly all his suffering
Without
murmur or complaint.

We
see no more his face;
But everywhere within our homes,
We see his vacant place.
