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.

circle.

Club and a member of the Monroe County Bar Association.

During the last year when Mr. Christman was unable to go to
town for supplies his neighbors and friends helped him out considerably,
especially did he depend upon the faithful assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd
Weber, his closest neighbor.
All of those who knew Mr. Christman and visited him remember
his patience and faith in all of his conversation. Although he was unable to be
an active member of the Church during these past years, he remained a faithful
Christian thru his personal devotions and the inspiration from the Bible and
radio worship services. This past fall he wrote a request in a strong hand,
influenced some by the German script. The request was for the sacrament of
communion. After participation in Communion with his wife, he again received
the strength of the love and communion with his Master Christ. May God bless
all of those who remain faithful unto death.
The family and relatives wish to express their sincere
appreciation and thanks for all of the kindness and expressions of
neighborliness that have been shown toward Mr. William Christman and his
family.

George S. Harrison was born January 15,
1865 and departed this life March 26, 1953, being at the time of his death 88
years, 2 months and 11 days of age.
He was a son of the late Martin and
Katherine Harrison. His wife, Minnie
Marty Harrison, preceded him in death June 8,1940.
Surviving are two children, Mrs. Mabel
Heslep, of Clarington Route 1, and Harry Harrison, of Wheeling; one sister,
Mrs. Ruth Mozena; five grandsons and one granddaughter; five great
granddaughters and one great grandson, with many other relatives and friends.
One of his grandsons, Pvt. John Heslep,
is serving his country in the U.S. Army in Japan. He is of the same lineage as the two late
President Harrisons. His entire life has
been spent in this community. He was a
member of the United Brethern Church in Christ.
"Pappy" as he was
affectionately called by his family and friends, was a friend to all he came in
contact with. From his childhood to his
last hour he always manifested a sunny character. His last years were spent listening to his
radio of which he got all the church services he was able to dial. His great ambition was to drink deeper from
the fountain of God's love, so when his master called, "It is enough, come
up higher," he could sing with the Angels his favorite hymns, "On
Jordan's Stormy Banks," and "Home At Last."
The events of his entire life can best
be eulogized in these few words of the poet.
He lived in the house by the
side of the road,
And was a friend of man.
Then shall I reach that
happy place
And be forever blest,
Then shall I see my Father's
face
And in His bosom rest.

on his parents farm near Wills Creek, West of Monroefield, Ohio. He departed
this life January 5, 1955, at the age of eighty years and three months. Born
into a large family he was the second youngest of ten children, which included
three girls and seven boys.
His
parents who were among the first settlers of this community, were from Germany
with a background of strong Christian faith. He received the sacrament of
Baptism at St. John s Evangelical Church and later received the vows of Church
membership himself by the rite of Confirmation at the age of fifteen. From that
time forward he remained a faithful and loyal member of St. John s Evangelical
and Reformed Church throughout his lifetime. In his Church he found the
strength and guidance he needed by regular attendance and participation in the
sacrament of Holy Communion. He received his last Holy Communion ten days
before God called him to his heavenly home.
On October 15, 1898, he was united in marriage to Miss Laura Melinda
Baker. To this happy union were born five sons. Laura died December 5, 1919,
from typhoid fever, aged 45 years. Three sons, Harley, Herbert, and Clesson
Christman were taken early in life. Harley died September 6, 1904, and; Herbert
died February 4, 1903 and Clesson died in 1934.
The two living sons are Freeman Christman, of Monroefield and Harvey
Christman of Woodsfield. The last two weeks of Mrs. Christman s life were spent
at the home of his son, Freeman where with his wife, brother Harvey, the
grandchildren and neighbors, he was given tender and loving care day and night.
After the untimely death of his first wife, he was united in marriage
to Emma Black on November 26, 1924. She too preceded him in death on June 19,
1946, aged 83 years, leaving one stepson, Stephen Black, now living in
Zanesville, Ohio.
Mr. Christman has three grandchildren, Eldon and Ruth Christman, of
Lewisville, Rural Route, and Richard Christman, of Columbus, Ohio. Also there
are five great grandchildren who have brought much additional joy to him in
these past years. Having a host of relatives, he is honored with having one of
the largest relationships in this country, all descendants of the first
pioneer settlers.
These early settlers built up their homes near springs where Mr.
Christman built his home. Here on his beautiful farm located west of Barnhart
Ridge Road he lived alone during these past years. On his farm he found much
joy in tending the cattle and chickens, watching the crops grow and be harvested
by his son and grandsons.
Burial was made in the St. John s Middle Church cemetery, near

David
Latta, 75, Officer of Hercules, Succumbs -- Was Consulting Engineer
David W. Latta, vice president of Hercules
Motors Corp. since April 17, 1947, and associated with the corporation for the
last 38 years, suffered a fatal heart attack today at 1 a.m. in his home at
2200 Broad ave NW. [Canton, Ohio] He
was 75. Although he had been under
treatment for a heart ailment, his death was unexpected. He had retired
from active service with Hercules July 1 but retained his corporate
office. Mr. Latta was probably better
known in engineering circles outside of Canton than in the city which he had
called home for more than half a century. With the exception of the first
two years in his association with Hercules his work as sales engineer took him
to the nation's industrial centers. For many years he considered Chicago
his center of activity and maintained headquarters there.
Funeral rites will be Saturday at 10:30
a.m. in the Welch funeral home and burial will be in Melscheimer
Cemetery. Calling hours . The Rev. George E. Parkinson will officiate.
Mr. Latta was a son of the late John and
Mary Jane Latta and was born in Monroe County. He attended grade and high
school there and then enrolled at Cornell University from where he was
graduated in 1903. He was a long-time member of the Society of Automotive
Engineers. He came to Canton the year
following his graduation and became associated with the Kuehn Wilson Co. which
later became the State Electric Co. and remained with that concern until
joining Hercules in 1918.
Mr. Latta
had a number of hobbies, chief of which were gardening and photography.
Probably one of his proudest possessions was an Ordinance Distinguished Service
Award, presented to him on July 20, 1944, as a member of the Coordinating
Research Council in recognition of "outstanding and meritorious
engineering advisory service" to the U.S. armed forces.
Mr. Latta is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Effie J. Latta of the home; four sons, Elton, Zelvon, Donald and Vernon Latta
of Canton; a daughter, Miss Jan Edith Latta of the home and three
grandchildren.
Honorary pallbearers at the rites will
include Charles Balough, John C. Keplinger, John D. Cook, A.R. Miller, C. O.
Jewell, Wesley Schaub and O.D. Treiber all of Canton, and Homer Schaub of East
Sparta. Active pallbearers will be William Keplinger of Chicago and the
following from Canton: Elmer C. Ide, F.H. Geisler, L.G. Downey, William
D. Butcher, George W. LaSalle, Dr. E.A.V. Horiak and D.L. Buchanan. [David Wilson Latta, died 25 July 1956]

When I have crossed the bar,
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning at 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 tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
I hope to see my Pilot face to face.
