Christian spirit, only complaining that she was so much trouble to those who
administered to her needs, often expressing the wish to die and be with her
Savior. I am going to Jesus was the last words that passed her lips. She

John Jacob Schneider, one of the
oldest residents of this community, died October 30, 1902. He was born at
Vorderweidenthal, Rhimphalz,
Bavaria, March 1, 1829. When he
was four years of age, his parents came to America. His father died very soon
after they had made their home here in this new land. In those times, this part
of the country was wilderness, and as the father s support was gone, many
hardships were left for the mother with the little children. Hard work was
experienced by them all, but it had its rewards. Mr. Schneider was married
February 24, 1852, to Miss Eva CHRISTMAN. Two sons were born to them, who with
the widow mourn his death. He was a member of the Lutheran Church of Woodsfield
and one of those who helped to organize the congregation.
The funeral services were
conducted Friday afternoon by the Reverend T. A. HAFELL. After a short service
at the house, the remains were taken to the Church in Woodsfield, where a
funeral sermon was delivered in the German language. A number of the members of
the congregation sang a few well known German hymns, and as the organ gave
forth the time of a funeral march the remains were taken from the Church to
their resting place, the Woodsfield cemetery. A great many friends attended the
funeral. Mr. Schneider was a well respected and well known in this community.
His last days were days of great suffering, but he endured it all with
Christian patience and found consolation in the great truths of the gospel
making its hope also his hope. His age was 73 years, 7 months, and 29
days.

Newspaper clipping, Monroe County Ohio, July 1903.
Once more the death angel has visited the vicinity of Mt. Carrick
and claimed for its victim, Isaac McMahon, who's death occurred July 18, 1903.
He was born near Clarington, January 31st, 1828, being at his death 75 years, 5
months and 17 days. He lived in the vicinity of Clarington for several years
during his youth. He afterwards moved to the vicinity of Mt. Carrick,
where he has dwelt for upwards of forty years or more. He was married to
Jeanette [correct is Jennetta] Hanlon in 1848. To this union were born 11
children; his wife and four children have gone on before to that land where all
is joy and calm. He leaves to mourn his loss, one brother, seven children,
twenty grand children, six great grandchildren and a host of other friends. Mr.
McMahon was a good neighbor, an upright citizen and a friend to all who knew
him. He will not only be missed in his own home, but will be missed throughout
the vicinity in which he lived. He was converted to the Christian church in the
Goudy congregation under the influence of the preaching of J.W. Arnold, in the
year 1879 and has ever since lived in that faith, that when the time of his
departure would come, that he would gain a home in Heaven. Isaac and Jennetta are buried in the Goudy
Church of Christ cemetery.

On Saturday morning July 29,
1905, at 4 o clock, the death angel entered our home and called our dear and
beloved mother to her home of eternal rest, age 42 years, 8 months and 20 days
Louisa R. WALTER was the second
daughter of Frederick and Margaret HOFF. She was born October 9, 1862, near Miltonsburg, Ohio.
She was united in marriage to Herman HOFFMEISTER October 1, 1885, who preceded
her to the better land January 15, 1890,
leaving three small daughters. Five years later she married Frederick WALTER of
Miltonsburg who departed this life January 10, 1899.
She has been in poor health for
several months, but no one thought her end was so near until a few days
previous to her departure, when she was stricken very ill, which continued to
grow worse until God released her of her sufferings and called her to her home
of eternal happiness, where no sorrows or suffering ever come. The cause of her
death was Grave s disease and nervousness. All that could be done was done with
kind and willing hands, but all to no avail. She bore her sickness patiently
and was never heard to utter a word of complaint.  She leaves to mourn
her sad departure three daughters, Bessie, Louisa and Leona HOFFMEISTER, a
father, mother, one brother and three sisters, and a host of other relatives
and friends. She was a kind and loving mother, and loved by all who knew her.
She was laid to rest amid many beautiful flowers, in this German Evangelical
cemetery, at 10 o clock Monday morning. She united with the Evangelical Church
in 1877 and has been a faithful member ever since. She also was a member of the
Ladies Aid Society at the time of her death. The funeral services were
conducted by the Reverend F. A. Meusch.
Our once so happy home is now
robbed in mourning, and we realize the sorrow of desolation that rests over us
when such a dear one is called away, but can only say, God, we shall meet her
in her eternal home, never more to part.
When we think of her cheerful face,
In this world of pain,
Then of heaven s abiding place,
In the realm of gain;
Where no sorrows ever come,
That s to be our home.
May we meet our dear mamma,
Never more to part. -Daughters.

beloved son and brother, Francis, to his home of Eternal rest. Mr. Francis
BURKHART was twenty-one years of age and the youngest son of John and Sophia
Burkhart, of near Miltonsburg,
Ohio.
On Sunday, August 13, he was accidentally shot
while out hunting. It was an awful shock to his parents, sisters and brothers.
All that loving hands and medical aid could do was done for him but without
avail. On Monday morning, August 14, he was remove to the North Wheeling St.
Joseph s hospital, where the best of care was given him. His father, brother, and sister were there
with him and were at his bedside till the end. It is hard to give him up but we
must be resigned to the will of God.  A few minutes before he died he bade us all good-bye and told
us not to weep for him for he was so happy and was going to God. We know he is waiting in Heaven to met us
again.
He leaves to mourn his loss, a
father, mother, three brothers, five sisters, and a host of sorrowing friends.
He was ever a kind, dutiful son, a loving and affectionate brother, and we
cannot express in words how we miss our darling Francis. He was a devoted
Catholic.
The funeral services were
conducted by the Reverend Father Smith and dear Francis was laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery at ten o clock Saturday morning amid many beautiful floral
offerings.
When we think of his smiling,
cheerful face,
In this world of pain,
Then of Heaven s abiding place,
In the realms of Gain.
Where no sorrow ever comes,
That s to be our home,
May we meet our darling Francis,
Nevermore to part.
Angel eyes are watching
For the coming
Of the loved ones who are left
On earth to mourn,
Dear Francis, we hope to met in Heaven
Where sorrows cease
and parting is no more.

Henry Claus, II was born July 18,
1850, near Miltonsburg, Ohio, the son of Heinrich and Elisabeth CLAUS. He was taught
to love his Savior in early youth and was confirmed at the age of 14. On
January 26th, 1875, he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret MULLER, which
union was blessed with six children - - two sons and four daughters, of whom
one son died in infancy.
Mr. CLAUS was an earnest and
faithful member of his church. He also endeavored to keep up the German
language in his home, giving his parents the pleasure of hearing their
grandchildren converse in their native tongue.
During the recent conference of
pastors in his church he and his wife took active interest in the matter and
lent a willing and helping had to the work. On Sunday morning Mr. Claus, with
wife and son, journeyed to the church where he found all of his daughters with
their families assembled. After greeting them, services were taken during which
he, joined by his wife, took communion with the congregation. At the conclusion
of the services the entire family assembled on the lawn, partaking of the
refreshments which they had provided for in the morning. It was a happy family
reunion and everyone felt the joy of being once more united. They did not know
that it was to be the last time in this world.
During the afternoon services he,
with a number of others, every place in the church being filled, remained at
the entrance, an attentive listener to the word of God which was being
proclaimed from the pulpit. Without warning or any alarming symptoms the Lord
suddenly called him to his heavenly home. He expired in the parsonage where
friends had taken him almost instantly, without regaining his conscience. A
stroke of paralysis had stopped the beating of his heart. Mr. Claus died May
20, 1906, at an age of 55 years, 10 months, and 2 days. His remains were
interred in the cemetery of the Evangelical Church of Miltonsburg, Ohio, his
pastor, Rev. F. A. MEUSCH, conducting the services and the choir rendering
appropriate music.
That Mr. Claus was highly
respected and beloved in his community was proven by the large attendance at
his funeral, 67 wagons following the remains from his residence, which were
joined by a large number before the cemetery was reached.
Mr. Claus leaves his wife, five
children, three brothers, one sister and six grandchildren, besides an
unlimited number of friends to mourn his early departure. May we all meet him
in heaven. A BROTHER

Forrest William CHRISTMAN was
born in Woodsfield, Ohio,
February 25, 1885; he died April 30, 1907, at Grand Junction, Colorado.
At his bedside was his brother, Glen CHRISTMAN, and his sister, Celestia
CHRISTMAN, with Colorado
friends, who watched the departing, and with sorrow, not without hope, wept
over broken ties. Forrest was a consistent member of the Grand Junction
Presbyterian Church having made profession of salvation soon after reaching Colorado. He was a
member of the Bible class and also of the Christian Endeavor Society. He was a
member of the Woodmen of the World, and also the Women of Woodcraft or
Circle, and also the Carpenter s Union. Flowers
were sent by those societies and orders and also by other friends of the
deceased from his Colorado
home.
The
funeral service was conducted from the home of his parents Sunday afternoon May
5th, at 2 o clock. The Reverend W. Loveridge OLIVER of the Presbyterian Church
officiated. The songs used were the special favorites of the deceased - I ll
Go Where You Want Me to Go, Saved by Grace, and Face to Face. The funeral
text was from 1st. Corinthians, 15, 57, But thanks be to God who givith us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The body was carried to its resting
place by twelve of his young friends - six of his girl friends carried flowers
and preceded the casket in the funeral procession which was one of the largest
Woodsfield has ever seen. The open grave was surrounded by nearly in not fully
a thousand persons, whose sympathy for the living, and honor of the dead was
thus demonstrated.
Words
come from Colorado
that are more comforting than legal appraisals of large inheritances - What a
man is he takes with him. What he has he leaves behind him and yet a paradox is
here, for what he takes is more to those behind than what he leaves.
The
Daily Sentinel of April 30 says: At an early hour this morning Forrest
Christman, aged 22 years, a well known young carpenter of this city, died at 535 Grand Avenue
where he has been boarding, after several weeks illness of typhoid fever. With
him when he died were his sister, Miss Celestia CHRISTMAN and brother Glen
Christman, both of Woodsfield,
Ohio. This evening on Rio Grande
No. 5, the remains will be shipped to the old home at Woodsfield where the
interment will take place. The brother and sister accompanying the remains
east.
The
Daily Sentinel of May 1, says: The remains of Forrest CHRISTMAN were shipped
to the old home in Ohio
last night over Rio Grande No. 6. A large number of friends viewed the remains
yesterday afternoon at the Rediker home. Thirty members of Book Cliff camp,
Woodmen of the World, and 20 members of the loyal Carpenter s Union
escorted the remains from the residence to the union station.
The
Church news, in Colorado,
of May 4th says; Not only the members of our church but many others have
sustained a sad loss in the death of Forrest CHRISTMAN who departed this life
on last Tuesday morning at the home of Mrs. REDIKER on Grand Avenue. Mr. Christman was a
carpenter by trade and an excellent workman. He was a splendid young man in
very particular. He became a Christian several years ago and united with the
church under the present pastorate. His brother Casper CHRISTMAN died in this
city just a little more than three years ago of typhoid fever. Forrest s
brother Glen CHRISTMAN and sister Celestia CHRISTMAN left with the body last
Tuesday evening for Woodsfield,
Ohio, the home of their parents,
where the body will rest beside that of the brother. The parents, brother, and
sister have the sincere sympathy of our people.
The Bible class in Grand Junction, Colorado,
April 30, 1907. To the Christman family: Since God in his divine providence
has seen fit to call from our midst our loved fellow laborer, Forrest
CHRISTMAN, we bow in humble submission to His holy will, and wish thus to
endeavor in a weak way to express our heartfelt sympathy to you in this sad
hour of bereavement.
In
Forrest, we found a faithful Sabbath school attendant and an excellent
Christian young man, whose influence was for the help of the cause of his
Savior. In this deep sorrow, that must come to all it is most comforting to us
to realize that someday we shall clasp glad hands in the heavenly land to be
forever with Jesus. May God s spirit dwell richly in your hearts to comfort you
and heal the wounds of this affliction in the prayer of the young men s Bible
class of the Presbyterian Sabbath school
of Grand Junction, of
which Forrest was a member. Signed, C. J. BARNETT, teacher; George WHITE;
Arthur ALLEN; Bliss BAKER; Luther WHITE; Walter BECKET; Walter LECLERE and
Rodney ROBINSON.
It
is sad to die - to break the tie that binds and watch our plans blown from
our weary fingers, no more seen unless they are the blue prints of God s
plans for future building.
Solemn
to die! - but when Christian carpenter goes on to consult with the carpenter
Christian - when the apprentice passes on to higher plans and the workman is
promoted to the side of the foreman, who shall complain then and say that
Romans 8, 28 is fiction?

Baker. To this union were born five
children, two sons and three daughters.
Two daughters, Libbie Jane and Mary Ellen preceded him to the home
beyond the dark river of death. The
living children are. S. L. Cronin and Mrs J. A. Hines of Woodsfield and M. L.
Cronin of Wayne
township. He obeyed the gospel and
became a Christian in 1871 under the ministry of Elder Joseph Walters, Since
his plighted faith in Jesus the Christ he has fought the good fight and kept
the faith, having finished life s course with courage and honors, he now enjoys
the rest of those who die in the Lord.
Few men were better known and more
highly respected in the community in which they were born and raised than
Brother Albert Cronin was in Wayne
township where he was born and spent his life.
He was a farmer and stock raiser and was successful and prosperous; a
man of nature judgment, a companion well informed in a general way, which make
him an interesting conversationalist. He
was for a number of years prior to his death one of the overseers or Bishops of
the Church of Christ at Richfork; so that he will be sadly missed in many
relations of life; in the family; as a loving husband and father and counselor;
in the community as a neighbor and citizen, in the church as one of the pillars
and faithful members. But what is loss
to us is gain to him.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Christian house of Worship at Woodsfield,
Ohio, by Elder K. W. Harkins
Tuesday January 3 in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends
and former acquaintances. At the hour of
1 p.m. after services at the church we went to the old Barber cemetery where a
host of neighbors waited in the cold and storm to get the last look at the cold
house of clay in which formerly had dwelt their neighbor and brother.
The bereaved family have the
sincerest sympathy.

Death has again entered a family
circle and taken away a dear son and brother in the flush of young manhood.
John
W. RUBEL was born near Calais,
Ohio, January 23, 1878, and died
at the same place, the home of his mother, Mrs. Barbara CRAWFORD, November 13,
1911, being at the time of his death in his 34th. year. His father, Jacob RUBEL,
died when John was about five years old, and as he was the baby of the family,
he was a great mother s boy. He went to Colorado few years ago and spent some
time there, and again to New Mexico, where he engaged in herding, being
overseer of a large ranch, but he returned about a year ago, saying, Mother, I
am going to stay with you as long as I live. How little either of them
realized how short that time was to be. He was stricken with pneumonia and only
lived about ten days despite all many loving friends could do for him.
John
improved his education opportunities and received a teacher s certificate while
young. He was an industrious and successful young man, having the respect of
his acquaintances to an unusual degree as was shown by the large number
attending his funeral. He leaves to mourn his early departure a mother, Mrs. G.
W. CRAWFORD; stepfather, G. W. CRAWFORD; two brothers, George and Lewis RUBEL,
and three sisters, Mrs. Eva BETTS, Mrs. Mary GOODHART, and Mrs. Rosa BETTS,
besides many nephews, nieces and other relatives and friends to whom he was

Today she sleeps beneath the sod and dew and
her labors are over but she will live long in the memory of her many acquaintances who survive her. Death
again has visited us and taken our former neighbor and friend from this world
of life to take her place in the silent chamber of the dead. Suddenly and
unexpectedly she was called to that home in the great beyond, where we may all
look, and gather consolation from our blessed Redeemer, that when our time shall
come there will be a glorious reunion in that happy home above where sorrow and
parting will be no more. Our earnest prayer is that we all may live so that
when our time is brought to a close that we may meet our loved ones in that
land where is no more sickness and sorrow, and where we all can enjoy each
other's presence through the boundless ages of a never ending eternity. The
subject of this sketch, Lucinda Walters, nee Jeffers, was born May 1, 1829 and
died Jan. 8, 1912, being at the time of her departure 82 years, 8 months and 7
days old. On Oct. 9 1856, she was married to Albert Walters. To this union were
born eight children, six of whom are living, the father and two children having
preceded her to the great beyond several years ago. At the age of fourteen she
realized that God was her Savious, and joined the M. E. church at Mt. Carrick.
After moving to Wilding, W. Va., about thirty
years ago, and there being no church of the above named, she united with the M.
P. church, of which she remained a faithful member until she was called to her
heavenly home above, where all is illuminated by Jesus love. Aunt Cinda, as she
was commonly called, was a good woman, loved and respected by all who knew her.
She was a always ready to lend a helping
hand to the poor and needy in time of affliction.  The children have our sincere sympathy in
their sad bereavement and may they look forward to that blessed land where sad
farewells never come and parting is no more. The funeral services were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. Warren of the M. P. church
of Wilding, W.
Va., where her body was laid to await the resurrection. H. J. Griffith.

Newspaper clipping, Monroe County Ohio, February 1912
IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE--It is hard to part
with dear friends here on earth, but we realize that there will be no separation
in heaven, such was that of Cora Elizabeth, daughter of John and Anna
Schneider, who was born in Monroe county, Ohio, Jan 11, 1895, and died Feb. 5,
1912, being at the time of her death 17 years and 25 days old. She leaves to
mourn her loss a father, mother, two sisters, two brothers, and a host of
friends. Cora was a member of the confirmation class at the Evangelical church
where she attended regularly to learn the instructions of Christ, and to love
our Master as we should, so that some time, sooner or later, she may be
permitted to enter our heavenly home of love and rest, with our Savior ever
more. Cora was loved by all who knew her, and always met her friends with a
loving smile and a happy greeting. Yes, it is hard for us to part with one so young
and beautiful. But we realize that the young must die as well as the aged.
Again we realize that God has prepared a more beautiful home and if we, the
friends of Cora, live the life that God would have us to live sooner or later,
we will be permitted to clasp her hand in that beautiful home in heaven where
we will never part and dwell with Cora forever. Now as the writer closes these
solemn thoughts with a desire that father, mother, sisters and brothers will
live such a life that they will meet with Cora and make an unbroken family
around the throne of God. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J. H. Overbeck, of
the Woodsfield Evangelical church after which the remains were taken to the
Neuhart cemetery and tenderly laid to rest.
Dear
Cora, she has left us,
Left us, yes, for ever more,
But
we hope to meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore.
Dear
Cora, oh, how we miss you,
More, yes more, than we can tell,
But
we know you have gone to Jesus,
There forever more to dwell.
And
when we're called to join you,
In that land where all is love,
Then,
dear Cora, there'll be no parting
In that beautiful home above.
Cousin Estella.

Caroline
FRANK (nee BRUBACH) the subject of this sketch, was born in Rumbach, Bavaria
Province in Germany, May 4th, 1830, and died near Miltonsburg, Monroe county,
Ohio at 2:30 O'clock, Tuesday afternoon, February 27, 1912, being at the time
of her death 81 years, 9 months and 23 days old.
She
came to this country with her parents at the age of 10 years and their place of
settlement was in Summit township, Monroe county. Miss
Caroline BRUBACH was confirmed in the old St. Peter's Evangelical church of
near Miltonsburg at an early age and endeavored to live according to that faith
until claimed by death. On the 23rd day of August 1851, Caroline BRUBACH
and Oscar FRANK were united in marriage and moved south to Lewisville and to this union were born ten
children, 3 of whom preceded the mother to the great beyond and also the
husband, Oscar FRANK preceded her June 4, 1890. Those living to mourn the
departure of the soul are seven children, 3 boys and four girls, namely: August
FRANK of near Lewisville, Charlie F. FRANK of Shadyside, Oscar J. FRANK of
Donora, Pa, Mrs. M. J. YOUNG of Summit township, Mrs. George FEIOCK of
Tarantum, Pa., Mrs. E. E. CRONIN of near Lewisville, and Miss Henrietta FRANK
who has made her home with her mother during her many years of suffering, and
has been the comfort of the aged parent until the last hour. She also
leaves to mourn 47 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren, three brothers,
Charlie BRUBACH, Jacob BRUBACH and Henry BRUBACH and a host of friends.
 Mrs. Frank was a woman in the true sense
of the word, strictly honest, temperate and industrious, a kind and indulgent
mother, and a good neighbor and useful citizen. She was one of those women
whose honor and integrity of principle we could all copy after with profit.
It
was known in the surrounding community that Mrs. Frank was sick for a
long time and suffered untold agony but she never complained. Her sickness
was a complication of diseases incident to her advanced age. The family
and friends with aid of Dr. C. W. Keysor of Miltonsburg did all that loving
hands could do but to no avail. At last the grim reaper death came and put his
cold and icy hands on one that was so near and dear to us on February 29, 1912.
With
short services at the house the remains were followed to Lewisville by a large concourse of relatives
and friends and her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining the
church. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Overbeck of
Woodsfield. He took for his text John; 9th chapter, 51st verse, which
reads: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man keep my saying he
shall never see death." The services were conducted in English and
the church was crowded with eager listeners. The sermon was very
interesting.
The
family has lost a kind and loving mother, the church one of its oldest members
and the community one of its best citizens. Mrs. Frank leaves to mourn
three sons, four daughters, three brothers, 47 grandchildren, 18
great-grandchildren and a host of friends but our loss is her eternal
gain. May her soul rest in peace.
She
had been in poor health for several months but no one thought her end so near
until a few days previous to her departure when she was stricken very ill and
continued to grow worse until God released her of her suffering and called her
to her home of eternal happiness. Our once happy home is now robed to
morning and we realize the sorrow of desolation that rest over us when such a
dear one is called away but can only say, God's will be done. The loss of
such a dear one shall never be forgotten by us but our only consolations is
that mother is in heaven and we live for our God. We shall meet her in
her eternal home never more to part.
When we think of her cheerful face
in
this world of pain.
Then
of heaven's abiding place
In
the realm of gain,
Where
no sorrow ever come,
That
to be our home.
May we meet our dear mother
Never
more to part.
In
the name of the Frank family they take this method to thank one and all who in
any way lent a helping hand during the sickness and death of our beloved
mother. A FRIEND"

assembled for the occasion. After extending congratulations and best wishes and
spending a short time in social conversation, we were invited to the dining
room where we found a table loaded with all the good things the season afforded
to which all did ample justice. The bride, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Abner Highman, was dressed in white silk which was very appropriate for the
occasion. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Cline and wore a suit
of brown serge. Mr. and Mrs. Cline are highly respected young people, he being

choosing her for his life companion. The afternoon was spent in music and
