Obituary
Died March 12, l886, little Cordie CONNER. After a lingering illness of 42 days the gentle spirit took its flight to the world where disease and death never come. But alas poor Cordie is gone; the silver thread is loosened and her spirit returned to God who gave it. So dear Cordie, sweet angel in heaven, rest on. Rest ever in your beautiful home. May all the dear ones left behind be able to join you in that sweet haven of rest where no tears are found, no partings come; and when the trump of God shall sound to call our sleeping dead to the judgment of the last day, little Cordie will then come forth robed in spotless white, clad in immortality; For Jesus said while on earth, "suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
Lovely child, how brief thy stay!
Short and hasty was thy day;
Ending soon thy sojourn here,
Pain or grief no more to bear.

OBITUARY
Mr. John T. WYATT died at his residence in Fredonia on Friday, March 12, 1886, at 7 o'clock a.m. Mr. WYATT was born in Caldwell co., Ky., February 28th, 1817, and was married to Miss M. J. CRIDER December 23d, 1840. Eleven children were the result of this union, six of whom are yet living, 4 sons and 2 daughters. Mr. WYATT never paid much attention to politics; he has always been a peaceful, law abiding citizen, a good neighbor, and for many years a zealous christian; a regular attendant at church until he became too much afflicted to attempt church going. He made a profession of religion in the year 1842, but did not unite with any church until a few years afterwards; he united with the C. P. church in Fredonia; he was ever at his post of duty and gave liberally to church enterprises; he seemed to live in communion with God every day, had no fear of death, and in fact he seemed to wish for death, especially so since he has been so severely afflicted. His health failed to a considerable extent thirty years ago, but he battled against disease until eighteen years since. He was afflicted with pluralysis, and since and since that time has not been out from home but little. He was a devoted father and loving husband; has been successful as a farmer; his children have been well educated, and have had every social advantage. They as well as the entire community, will feel the loss of such a man. The evening before he died he repeated several passages of scripture calculated to console a christian and brighten his hopes of future happiness; he also sang several beautiful hymns and seemed to have an insight of heavenly glories and the glittering crown awaiting him. He frequently told his family and friends that his work was finished.
I long to fly away and be at rest
Upon my dear Redeemer's breast;
The sorrows of earth will soon be o'er
Then on wings of love I'll upward soar,
To meet my Saviour, how sweet the thought,
Since I with his dear blood was bought.
While yet in heaven there is room
I fear not the darkness of the tomb!
He bore his severe affliction with true christian fortitude and passed peacefully out into the Great Beyond, proving that truth of holy writ, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, May his surviving children all be well prepared for death, that they may meet their father in the world of bliss where sickness, pain nor death are felt and feared no more. Rev. W.J. DARBY, of Evansville, preached his funeral sermon at 2 p.m. on the 13th instant to a large assembly; the remains were then interred in the family burying ground, to await the resurrection morn.

OBITUARY
At her home in Marion, Ky., Sunday, May 27th, at 2 o'clock p. m., God summoned to his mansions above one of his beloved children,
AMBIE B. PIERCE.
We are in the presence of another of Gods mysteries. As yet we can not fully realize its sad meaning, and our hearts suddenly sink and soften as each day we remember Ambie is dead!
We, who knew her so well can not help questioning why the same Providence that permits so many kinds of mortals to live, should cut her young life short on the threshold of its sunny and charming womanhood.
Another severed link on earth, another pure sainted spirit is free from the rude storms of this cold world.
In the morning of life when the future is so full of hope and promise, she is called from us.
To eyes that cannot see the end from the beginning the ways of Providence often seem blind or ruthless and we cannot help but wonder, "Is it well," that she should be taken from her loved ones.
Her loss is more keenly felt by those near and dearer to her, father, mother, brothers, sisters. How they miss her smiling face, the sweet voice, which was ever cheerful, and the willing hands, always ready to perform some labor of love. But her friends--they are all who knew her--especially those who felt oftenest the influence of that sympathetic intelligence, unstudied amiability, and engaging presence, will best understand how we, her chosen companions, loved and lament her.
Sweet girl! So gentle, fair and winsome. We lay an offering of ungarnished truth on your untimely grave--a tribute of love and sorrow, made importunate by bereavement of rare endearing qualities of person, mind and heart.
So fades the summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er,
So gentlely shuts the eye of day,
So dies the wave along the shore.
----
At a meeting of the O. R. I. O. Club, the following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly Father, in his wisdom, to remove from our midst our dearly beloved member and friend, Miss Ambie B. PIERCE. Therefore be it
Resolved, That while we bow with reverence and submission to the will of God, we, with great sorrow, mourn the loss of our valued friend.
That by her death our club has sustained an irreparable loss, but that our loss is her eternal gain, and that we try to so live that we each and all shall meet with her around the Great White Throne, where our circle will once more be complete.
That we tender our heartfelt sympathy and condolence to her bereaved family, with the prayer that the God of all grace may support them in their distress.
That a copy of these resolutions be published in the Press and Monitor and a copy be sent to the family.

Resolutions of Respect
Passed by the Marion Baptist Sunday School
Whereas, God in his infinite wisdom has seen proper to remove from our midst one of our most noble and faithful members, Miss Ambie PIERCE, we deem it but fit and proper, as a last sad duty to the deceased, and as a mark of respect to the bereaved family that we thus fittingly record our appreciation of her.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That in her death our Sunday school has met with an irreparable loss; the parents and family lose one of their most loving and devoted members, and society one of its brightest jewels.
Resolved, That while we deeply sympathize with the bereaved family, and with them mourn her loss, we commend them to the Great Comforter for the consolation they need.
Resolved, That the exemplary life which she led, and the faithfulness with which she met her duties and obligations as our organist and Sunday school pupil, shall, always be held in great rememberance by us, and that we shall emulate in her all that was good.
Resolved, That a page be set apart in our Sunday school register on which to record these resolutions, and that a copy of them be presented to the bereaved family.

Death
Mr. Frank CROW, a well known citizen, died at his home in Marion Monday afternoon, June 25, 1888, after an illness of several weeks. Mr. CROW as a man of pure character, kind disposition, and a good and useful citizen. His death is lamented by every one. The remains were interred at the FOWLER graveyard Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Mary Belle WALKER, wife of Mr. W. H. WALKER, of the Iron Hill neighborhood, died Tuesday morning, after an illness of only four days. Mrs. WALKER was an estimable christian woman, with a large circle of friends who will mourn her death.
In Memory of Mrs. Susan C. GREEN
Death, the dark winged angel, has invaded our community and for his victim chose one whom we least expected and it seems could least spare--one among the most loving and devoted of wives, and kind an affectionate of mothers. But alas! death selects a shining mark.
Mrs. GREEN was the wife of Hon. Wm. H. GREEN, of Livingston county, Ky., and daughter of the late Col. Richard and Kittie MILES, and was born at the MILES homestead, same county and State, 3 1/2 miles south of Salem, on the 27th of May, 1838, was married to Wm. H. GREEN Dec. 14, 1865; made a public profession of religion and was baptised into the fellowship of Pinkneyville Baptist church in November 1871, and departed this life, after a painful and protracted illness, June 17, l888. The writer will not extol, above measure, the shining character and rare virtues of this now sainted and once noble christian woman. He is not warranted in claiming perfection for any of this world of sin, pain and sorrow, but after an intimate acquaintance and pastoral relationship of ten years, he has failed to discover in her words or acts anything in derogation of an exalted Christian life.
The writer repeatedly visited sister GREEN during her painful and prolonged sickness of five weeks, and always found her bearing her sufferings with as much patience and resignation as is possible under circumstances so trying. But oh, the fatal hour came. The strugling victim yielded to the all conquering arm; God claimed His own and bade his redeemed one come up higher.
Sister G. died as she had lived, the same humble, trusting child of God, without an enemy on earth, for the reason that she was the friend of all.
When the solemn hour of her departure came, "she was tranquil amid alarms," her strong christian faith served as a bright halo around her dying couch. She called to her bed side her husband, crushed with grief her weeping children and friends present, and bade them an affectionate farewell, then entered the dark doorway and passed over the river to forever rest in the shade of the beautiful trees beyond.
Farewell dear wife, mother, sister for awhile. We mourn your absence but not as those who have no hope; we cherish the happy assurance that you, in your glorified form, are forever freed from the pains, cares and sorrows of this life, and are in the enjoyment of "the rest which remaineth for the people of God."
The writer preached the funeral of sister GREEN at her home in the presence of a large audience of weeping hearers, from the words, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth: yea saith the spirit they rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
After which the remains were taken to the MILES graveyard, at the home of her birth, and childhood, and interred by her father and mother to await the resurrection summons.
Sister GREEN left a husband and five children, three sons and two daughters, ranging in age from 4 to 21 years, one sister, one brother and numerous relatives and friends, who will cherish for her a fond remembrance until we all meet again.

Tribute of Respect
To the memory of Bro. W. H. FRANKLING, a charter member of Siloam Lodge No. 799, F. M. B. A., and President of said lodge, and also of the County Assembly of Crittenden county, and was the acknowledged leader of said order in this county. The question has frequently been asked who will take his place, but is not yet answered.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That the F M B A has lost one of its best friends.
That we deeply regret his death and removal from our midst, but meekly bow to the one who is both giver and taker of life. We are greatly consoled to think and believe he now sitteth at God's right hand in Heaven.
That by his death we loose one of our best farmers and citizens, and his removal will be greatly felt in our community.
That we offer to the family and relatives of our deceased brother our greatest sympathies in their sad bereavements in the loss of an affectionate husband and father, kind and sympathetic relative, and would comfort them that though he can not return to them, but by the grace of God they may at last sit around the throne of God with him where sorrow and death never come, and that their earthly loss is his eternal gain.
That a copy of these resolutions be presented to our deceased brother's bereaved family, and a copy to the Crittenden Press and Marion Monitor for publication.

IN MEMORIAM
J. M. RONEY, the subject of this sketch, was born in Robinson county Tenn., Sept. 10, 1846. In November, 1866, he came to Salem, Ky. In October he was married to Miss M.E. GRASSHAM, daughter of Mr. P. GRASSHAM. They lived happily together until April 10, 1872, when death separated them. On November 25, 1875 he was united in marriage to Miss M. D. BARNES, daughter of L. BARNES, with whom he lived happily until his death, which occurred June 12, 1890. He was a kind husband and an affectionate father. It was his heart's delight to do every thing he could to make his wife and children happy, he was not only kind to his family, but was a kind and obliging neighbor. He was free hearted, always ready and willing to assist the poor and needy. He contributed to the building of the church house in Salem very liberally. He had never made any public profession of religion, his wife and Dr. HAYDEN are of the opinion that he realized a change; some time before he was taken down he told a number of his friends that he intended to live a different life, his great desire was to be a Christian. After he was taken down, when his sister was at his bed side, he said to her: "Tell me what I must do to be saved." His wife, a good christian woman, got the Bible and read to him what God required of all in order to be saved. He had two of the best doctors in this past of the state--HAYDON and THRELKELD--who did all that could be done to give relief, but all in vain. He had to die. The funeral services were conducted by the writer; surrounded by a large concourse of sorrowing friend, the remains was deposited in the Salem cemetery to remain until the resurrection morn.
He left behind a dear wife and a beautiful daughter of thirteen summers, a little boy of four summers, an aged father, brothers and sisters and a host of friends to mourn his loss. May God comfort his wife in her lonely hours and enable her to raise her children to love the God she loves, is my prayer.

Resolutions of Respect
Whereas, it has pleased an all wise Providence to remove from our midst our beloved sister, Addie CARTER.
Be it therefore
Resolved, That in her death this church sustains the loss of a most valuable and useful member, one whose life since early womanhood has been given to toe labor and interest in the cause of Christ.
That not only her friends and the members of this church, but the community in which she lived has been deprived of a most useful and lovable christian.
We do deeply sympathize with the husband, family and friends of our departed sister in this their hour of deepest gloom and sadness, and we do recommend that their sorrows be laid before the Throne on High, where, even now, our sister is interceding for their peace and that a copy of these resolutions be spread on our book of records.

SAMUEL G. STEVENS
The brave, the true and chivalric Sam STEVENS has gone to sleep in death.
His yardstick will fall into the hands of some one else, probably his sprightly son, Wallace. The bow of his violin will lay quietly away unmolested, for no one dares to assert their ability to equal him in the realms of music. As a musician he stood branded in many localities as first class and scarcely equaled. To know him was to like him; to know well was to love him. His warm sympathetic heart is still; his tender blue eyes are curtained and dark.
He had his faults perhaps, but who has not, and of how many of us can it be said, that these were as light in comparison as the autumn leaves when compared with the merits of his virtues.
Lola has lost a devoted friend and the stroke to the community caused by his death is visible to every one. No more shall we hear his pleasant voice.
His body moulds. Alas!
Too sad! Too sad!
And yet, to this, though every one must share the same fate.
