brothers and sisters, and oh, how sadly will she be missed in the home, and not
only in the home but in the church, just a few steps from her home, where she
has been working faithfully for several years, will her friends sadly feel her
loss.
She had served as superintendent in the Sunday
school for two years and was for several years a teacher in the school. She was
always present at the church services and at the post of duty, always ready to
do her Master s bidding just as long as health permitted until that dread
disease consumption laid claim upon her for its victim. Even after she was
taken ill she would often express the wish to be with God s people in their
worship. Although Ollie is no more with us in the body her influence will be
long in the hearts of those who knew her and no one could know her without
loving her.
Dear friends do not grieve, Ollie is not dead,
only resting in peace with her Savior whom she loved so dearly. Never more will
she know the pain and suffering experienced on earth. We have the blessed
assurance that through the precious blood of Jesus Christ we will meet her on
that bright shore to spend the endless eternity. O may we all be prepared to
meet death as bravely as she. Never through her long illness was she heard to
murmur or complain but was always bright and cheerful, always meeting those
dear ones left behind with kind words and smiles. So to them we will say, do
not think of her as lying in the cold grave but look through your tears on to
that bright and happy home beyond the skies and think what she is enjoying

loved and honored, all the varied philosophy of life can offer but little
consolation. Yet we counsel patient recognition of the work and will of the
Inscrutable. The dream of immortality, born of human love, leads us to believe
that ere a few brief, it may be only days, we shall meet and kiss again the
lips we loved in life.

were fruitless. When he fell into the water, he sank and a little later came to

A Fatal Accident
A fatal accident occurred at the boiler house on the Marty
farm at well No.3 near Round Bottom Friday. M.M. Updegraff who had charge of
the wells had started the gas engine and it is supposed that the belt broke and
judging from the holes cut in his cap the heavy iron clamp which fastens the
belt together struck him in the head causing instant death. The belt wound
around the clutch of the engine and at each revolution the end of the belt and
clamp struck him on the head until his head was entirely battered to pieces. He
was alone and no uneasiness was felt until evening when it was noticed that all
the engines were not going and that this well was not pumping although the
engine was in rapid motion. Upon investigation the lifeless body was found.
Mr. Updegraff had been an employee of The Fisher Oil
Company for many years and has been with the Pure Oil company since the
transfer of the property. He was a trusty man, aged about thirty years. A wife
and three children are left.

John William Vandine, son of Isaac and Eliza Vandine was
born
peculiar. Some years ago,
when a mere lad, he was handling a revolver and attempting to discharge a
cartridge which had remained for sometime in the gun and looked into the
muzzle, when it discharged its contents into his left eye, the bullet lodging
somewhere in his head, where he carried it to his grave. Last Saturday, I
understand, while handling baggage for the B & O
Railroad, he was struck upon
the head by a trunk. It seemed to hurt him but little at first, but later in
the day there was a severe pain in his head, which continued to increase until
death relieved him of his great suffering Tuesday morning, August 13. It is
supposed that the jar in some way disturbed the long resting place of the
bullet, which was the cause of his death. This should be a warning to all boys
in fooling with firearms.
He obeyed the gospel under the ministry of Elder W.H.
Devore at Beallsville about ten years ago. He leaves a father, two brothers and
two sisters to mourn his departure.
His mother preceded him to the spirit land.
The funeral was conducted at the Christian chapel, on South
Hill, Beallsville, by Elder A.E. Harper and Rev. D.W. Harkins. After the
services his body was laid to rest in the Beallsville cemetery to await the
coming of the Lord to raise the death and render vengeance to them that know
not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus; and to be
glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all them that believed in
that day. The relatives have our deepest sympathy in their bereavement. H.

Safety he began his voyage on life s vast and boisterour sea with the meek and
lowly Nazarene for his pilot. Although oftentimes being tossed to and fro on
the billows caused by the temptations, trials and disappointments of this life
yet, he ever having by his side the anchor of hope which is both sure and
steadfast and entereth into that within the veil, sailed safely on until
finally one Friday morn he anchored his soul in that haven of rest to sail
life s sea no more, awaiting the call of his Master to come and receive that
crown which is incorrupt and undefiled and fadeth not away.
He was a loving husband, a kind father, an obliging
neighbor, a highly esteemed citizen and a consistant member of the
On Sunday, April 21, an unusual crowd of relatives, friends
and brethren gathered at his home and the West Union chapel to pay the last
tribute of respect to our departed brother and after services conducted by
Elder J.H. Pennell we laid his body to rest in cold and chilly grave in the
West Union cemetery. Being made sad by his departure yet we sorrow not as those
that have no hope for we hope to meet again on that resurrection morning and be
united with him for evermore. A. J.

Wright, Albert McClellan Wright 2nd obit
Spirit of Democracy,
Early Saturday morning,
Little McClellan, as he was familiarly called, was born
June 27, 1906, and at his death was six months and eight days old. All that
kind and loving friends could do was to no avail and though we miss him greatly
in the home we miss him greatly in the home, yet our loss is his gain. It is
hard to give up those who are so young and so dependent upon willing and loving
care, yet Christ said: Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them
not, for such is the

Spirit of Democracy,
Little Albert McClellan Wright, youngest son of Mr. and
Mrs. Albert Wright of West Union, Ohio, died Saturday morning, January 5,
1906[sic-1907], after a two weeks illness. He was at the time of his death six
months and ten days of age. Death is a solemn thing and that which often takes
our nearest and dearest friends. It comes to the young as well as the old.
Little Albert was the pet and pride of his parents and the light and joy of the
home.  He is survived by his father, mother, and four brothers.
After short services at the home on Sunday the remains were
taken to the West Union church where services were conducted by Albert Bachman,
after which the little white casket containing all that was mortal of little
Albert was born to the cemetery. The bereaved ones know whom they have believed
and are pressing toward a meeting which shall know no parting and a joy which
will forever remain unclouded. The good Shepherd has taken a little lamb that
the flock may follow.
Little Albert, we have lain thee,
In they loving graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Til we see thy heavenly face.

In a multi-site (WAN) installation, Geode uses gateway sender queues to distribute events for regions that are configured with a gateway sender. AsyncEventListeners also use an asynchronous event queue to distribute events for configured regions. This section describes additional options for configuring the event queues that are used by gateway senders or AsyncEventListener implementations.
Before you begin, set up your multi-site (WAN) installation or configure asynchronous event queues and AsyncEventListener implementations. See Configuring a Multi-site (WAN) System or Implementing an AsyncEventListener for Write-Behind Cache Event Handling.
-
You can configure a gateway sender queue or an asynchronous event queue to persist data to disk similar to the way in which replicated regions are persisted.
Configuring Dispatcher Threads and Order Policy for Event Distribution
By default, Geode uses multiple dispatcher threads to process region events simultaneously in a gateway sender queue for distribution between sites, or in an asynchronous event queue for distributing events for write-behind caching. With serial queues, you can also configure the ordering policy for dispatching those events.
-
Conflating a queue improves distribution performance. When conflation is enabled, only the latest queued value is sent for a particular key.
