DEATH S HARVEST. YOHO. [Transcribed 26 Aug 2000 from Bloomfield-Eastern
Greene County Public Library s IHS Microfilm Records.]
Frank Lewis YOHO, oldest son of
Isaac Mahlon and Sarah E. YOHO, was born in Noble County, Ohio
October 28, 1866, and died January 10, 1933.
The parents left their Ohio home and became one of the early settlers of Indiana, locating in Monroe County.
His grandfather, Samuel YOHO, saw
service in the Mexican War.
His father, Mahlon YOHO served three
and one-half years in the Union Army during the Civil War, campaigning with the
eastern armies.
The family moved to a farm near
Solsberry, Greene
County. Here Frank grew
to manhood and married Effie FRAME, the daughter of Jacob and Martha FRAME,
1888.
He served four years as mail carrier
out of Solsberry. In 1904 he purchased a general store here and had been in the
same store until the time of his death.
Early in life he became a member of
M. E. church of Solsberry. He was a member of the Men s
Bible class, where he was never found missing until a few weeks ago, when his
health would not permit him to attend.
He was affiliated with the Solsberry
Masonic fraternity Lodge No. 411 F. & A. M., and also the Improved Order of
Red Men.
He served two terms as commissioner
of the First district of Greene County, his time expiring in December. He
always was conscientious in his work, dong what he thought best. In this field
of work he won many true friends.
In 1910, Marthena, the infant
daughter of Charley and Jessie (FRAME) JOHNSON, was taken in his home.
In 1912, Mrs. YOHO passed away. He
and Marthena were taken into the home of his father and mother, where they
lived until his mother passed away. In 1925 Marthena was married to Wayne
SHERROW. These two have made home happy for him. Two little children came into
the home, which afforded him much joy. Little DeWayne was taken seven months
ago. His going saddened the life of his foster grandfather.
His father, mother and one sister
have passed on.
The surviving relatives are Walter,
Oscar, Will and Mrs. Mayme CORWIN, of Solsberry; Mrs. Della ORCHARD, of Bloomington, and Mrs. Myrtle BARNES, of Indianapolis; the foster daughter, Marthena,
husband and baby. A large number of other relatives and true friends are left
to mourn his going.
Fades, fades, our earthly joys.
Breaks every tender tie; farewell mortality, welcome eternity; farewell loved
ones, welcome sweet scene of rest; welcome my Savior s breast.
Honorary pallbearers were H. L.
DONEY, Wm. VOSLOH, Charles DAVIS, Harry LANDIS, Jake GARRETT, Roll BUSKIRK,
Elmer SHERWOOD, James PRIEST, William BROWN, Earl HUFFMAN, James M. HUDSON, and

and death of our Brother and Father; also for the many beautiful floral
offerings.

On May 20, 1877, he was united in
marriage with Mollie FRANK and to this union nine children were born. All are living except Freeman who preceded
him in death on August 18, 1920.

This is an obit for Wilford Eugene Graham, son of
Luther Oril Graham and Sara B. Betts Graham
Obituary
Wilfred
Eugene, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Graham, residing south of Tiro, was
born at the home of his parents, April 25, and departed from this life, April
27, at the age of two days.
He leaves
to mourn his departure his father and mother, two brothers, Vernon Wayne and
Joseph Robert, and one sister, Ruth Alene, and a great many other relatives and
friends.
There is
a Reaper, whose name is Death,
And,
with his sickle keen,
He reaps
the bearded grain at a breath,
And the
flowers that grow between,
"Shall I have naught that is fair?" saith he;
"Have naught but the bearded grain?
Though
the breath of these flowers is sweet to me,
I will
give them all back again?"
He gazed
at the flowers with tearful eyes,
He
kissed their drooping leaves;
It was for the Lord of Paradise,
He bound
them in his sheaves.
"My
Lord has need of these flowerets gay,"
The
Reaper said, and smiled,
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he
was once a child."
"They shall all bloom in fields of light
Transplanted by my care,
And
saints upon their garments white,
These
sacred blossoms wear."
And the
mother gave in tears and pain,
The
flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all again
In the
fields of light above,
O, not
in cruelty, not in wrath,
The
Reaper came that day;
"T
was an angel visited the green earth
And took
the flowers away.

Provided by Eloise Lumbatis January
Magdalena Weber, daughter of Charles
and Salome Weber, was born January 15, 1854, and died June 26, 1933, at the old
home near Lewisville,
aged 79 years, 5 months and 11 days old at the time of her death.
She is survived by six brothers,
Henry, George, Jacob, Fred, Philip, and Otto, all living near Lewisville. Two brothers, Christian and
David, and three sisters, Miss Louise Weber, Mrs. Mary Neuhart and one infant
sister preceded her in death.
Miss Weber was confirmed in the
Evangelical faith in 1868. To this faith she was ever true. For many years she
was intensely interested in all departments of the churches at Lewisville,
Buchanan and Middle Church, but for the past several years she had made her
church home at Buchanan, it being more convenient an d her health delicate. She
had been at the head of the Children s department in the Sunday School at
Buchanan for many years and had always remembered each little one at Easter and
Christmas. On the Sunday preceding her death she sent flowers for the annual
Children s Day held at Buchanan.
A few days before her death Aunt
Lena was stricken with measles, a disease she had always feared and shunned.
Jut when she seemed to have conquered the disease and we thought she would soon
be about again, she slipped quietly away. Dying as she lived, quietly and
uncomplainingly, leaving the entire community shocked and sorrowing. It had
been her wish to celebrate this summer
the 100th anniversary of the coming of the Weber family to Monroe
county from Germany.
We are sorry she could not live to have her wish fulfilled. She who was always
so mindful of the comfort of each member of the entire family, practically
every one of whom had known her generosity and good will.
Funeral services were held at
Buchanan Presbyterian Church on Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Henry
Fox, of St. Peter s Evangelical
Church, Woodsfield, and
Rev. W. H. Petry, her pastor, followed by burial in the family lot in Buchanan
cemetery. She was born to her resting place by six nephews.
Thou too hast
left us, while with heads bowed
low,
And sorrowing
hearts, we mourned our summer s
dead.
Was Heaven
impatient that it could not wait.
The blasts of
winter for earth s fruits to fall?
Were angels
crowding round the open gate,
To greet the
spirits coming at their call?
Death reaches
not a spirit such as thine,
It can but
steal the robe that hid thy wings.
Still in our
hearts thy loving memory clings.

OH, September 1933
Margaret
Ellen Schneider McMahon was born at Neuhart Ridge on July 18, 1869 and passed
away very suddenly at her home at Kerr Station on September 18, 1933. She had
attained the age of 64 years and two months.
In 1901
she was united in marriage with John McMahon. Two sons, William and Albert,
blessed this union who with their father mourn her sudden death and loss.
The day
before her death she was her usual self, waiting on her family the same as
always. Illness, sudden and acute seized her and death followed shortly.
Beside
her immediate family she leaves to mourn her death three sisters, Mrs. Catherine
Millbaugh, of Lower Salem; Mrs. Louisa Hoff, of Antioch, and Mrs. Anna
Christman of Woodsfield, and one brother John Schneider of Woodsfield Route 1,
besides a host of other relatives and friends.
On
Wednesday afternoon, September 20, at 2 o'clock a throng of relatives and
friends paid their last tribute of respect to her sterling qualities as a
neighbor, sister, friend, mother and wife. Rev. Henry Fox, pastor of St. Paul's Evangelical
Church, was in charge of
the services and was assisted by Evangelist J. V. A. Traylor, pastor of the
Woodsfield Church of Christ. The services were opened and closed by the singing
of appropriate hymns. Rev. Fox used as his text the 12th verse of the ninetieth
Psalm, and showed how the departed had applied her heart unto wisdom in serving
her dear ones, her fellowman and her Creator. The great abundance of flowers
expressed the high esteem in which she was held by her many relatives and
friends and by whom she will be sadly missed. Following the services interment
was made in Oak Lawn
Cemetery.
Card of Thanks:
We desire in this way to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to our
many neighbors and friends for the kind deeds and expressions of sympathy
extended to us during the short illness and at the time of the death of our
dear wife and mother. Such kindness shall always be remembered.--John McMahon

Name: Charles Henry Weber

Provided by Eloise Lumbatis January
Charles Henry Weber was born April
9th, 1864, in Monroe County, near Lewisville,
Route 2, Ohio,
being the ninth child of Charles Christian and Salome Weber. Childhood and
young manhood were spent in this neighborhood. In 1889, he married Elizabeth
Motter, the two making their home on the farm where both lived the remainder of
their life and died. Both the farm and the home overlooking Woodsfield, bespeak
of thrift and industry and cooperation. Here four children blessed their union
and with them served in bringing family happiness and well being as a
fundamental part of life.
Seven years ago his good wife was taken
by death.
On Tuesday, March 13, 1934, at 4:30
a.m. the final summons came, suddenly and unexpectedly.
One son, Lucian, died in France
during the world war. Thus there remain to mourn his sudden departure his sons,
Arnold Weber and Clarence Weber and one daughter, Helen Weber Smith; three
grandchildren and five brothers, Philip, Fred, George, Jacob and Otto Weber.
As a final tribute to his worth as
citizen, neighbor, friend, Christian and relative a large concourse of Monroe County
folks as well as those from a distance met for the funeral services in the
home, Thursday, March 15th, at 2:00 p.m. where services were conducted by his
pastor, Henry Fox. Briefly and simply the facts of his useful life were told.
These thoughts were dwelt upon: I will not leave you comfortless, whatsoever
thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might and teach us to number our
days that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
The interment followed in Oaklawn
cemetery where his many friends stood in awed silence. During the time between
his sudden death and his burial the family received innumerable proofs of the
love and the esteem in which Henry Weber was held by Woodsfield and center
Township, for which they express their deepest appreciation and thanks. So at
the age of 69 years, eleven months and four days this earthly life ended with
his kindly Christian influence to live on through those whom God had given him.

Philip S. Weber, son of Charles and

1849 and died at his home in Lewisville, Ohio, April 12, 1936, being at the

four brothers, George, Fred, Jacob and Otto Weber, and many other relatives and
friends. Three sisters and three brothers preceded him in death.
He was confirmed at the age of 14
years in the Middle Church, which church the Weber family formerly attended and
in which church cemetery, his parents are buried. Uncle Philip as he was known
by many spent his entire life in the community where he was born. His parents
coming from Germany were among the pioneer settlers of the County. He was a
life of toil and honest endeavor. He has seen many changes and improvements
during his longer than the usual span of life and no one enjoyed more the
simple pleasures of everyday life than he until the past year when he became
too infirm to leave his home. For the last seven weeks he required the care of
his family continually. The end came peacefully at the Easter time and to those
dearest to him will be associated in memory the Resurrection season and of the
Redeemer who said Because I live ye shall live also.
When beneath
some heavy load your heart is sad;
When it seems
you cannot ever smile again
God, who let
the sorrow come, will make you
glad;
He s the one
who sends the sunshine and
the rain.
Funeral
services were held Wednesday afternoon with short services at his home in
Lewisville after which the body was taken to the Buchanan Presbyterian church
for final obsquies. He was a member of the Presbyterian church. Burial was made

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.
 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.

Ohio, August 18, 1938
Collection of Gertrude Christman Kahrig
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.

In response to
my question, "How did it happen that none of the kids were along?"
Brenda Eva Reilley Hunsberger, the source of this article, wrote, "My
grandmother, who was their daughter, was married with 3 children of her
own. My grandmother was 24 when they died and her sister, Bernadeen, was
14. My grandmother took Bernadeen in after their deaths and finished
raising her until she was an adult." In a later e-mail message
Brenda wrote, My mom told me that the driver of the car hit the truck because
the truck had run a stop sign and that it was a Coca-Cola truck.
