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.

Friend of our better days.

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.

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,
which occurred Thursday evening, Jan. 4.
Mr. Feiock was born Sept. 30,
1866 in Lewisville, and was a son of George and Katherine (Butt) Feiock. He
grew to manhood in that community and for a number of years operated a hotel in
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
the home, Saturday afternoon with Rev. Weed officiating. Final rites were held
at St. Peter's Church at Lewisville, Sunday afternoon, in charge of the pastor,
Rev. Walter Trogler. Interment was in Friendship Cemetery at Lewisville.

On and oft, my heart does wander
To a grave and far away,
Where they laid my dear mother
Just one year ago today.
When the evening shadows are falling
And I am sitting all alone,
There comes to me a longing
If only she could come back home.
A happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still,
But death has left a lonliness
The world can never heal.
Sleep on, dear Mother,
Sleep on and be at rest,
The ones who of you are thinking
Are the ones who loved you best.

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.
