Weary of all earthly pleasures, heart

Ready to bid our friends farewell,

more pleasant for them.
He attended Warner District School until
graduation, and immediately subsequent to his graduation he chose as his life’s
work the occupation of farming, and at all times manifesting a great interest

Besides being a kind, thoughtful, loving and

hand in hand they together pursued the occupation of
farming, sharing equally the results of their combined conscientious
efforts. Clarence of his own volition
assumed the moral obligation of caring for his mother and father, and was
especially devoted to his mother, never failing to do the little things that
would directly or indirectly lighten the burden placed upon her, as a mother,
and make her just little more happy.
Beside leaving a vast number of friends and relatives, he left a sad and

Kelso
In
the quiet hours of the morning just as the new day was silently breaking a precious life ebbed its way into the mysterious
realm beyond. The death angel had
flitted again into our midst and its summons had been
answered. It was at this time
that the soul of Grandmother Kelso left its earthly home and in so passing it became immortal.
Margaret
Adeline Davolt was born October 14, 1851 and departed
this life November 10, 1935, having reached the age of 84 years and 26 days at
the time of her death.
On
August 30th, 1866 she was united in
marriage to Wm. C. Cohoon. To this union 4
children were born, Mrs. Benton Mattingly, Yarrow,
On
June 12, 1879 Mr. Cohoon
passed away and she was left a widow with these small children to care
for. After tenderly and watchfully
caring for her children for five years she was again
married and became the wife of Isaac Kelso.
To
this union two children were born, Mrs. Gladys Wright and a son, Leslie, both
of Ethel.
On
February 11, 1923 Mr. Kelso passed away and since that time she liver with her
son, Leslie. Besides the five children,
who were at her bedside when the end came, she leaves to mourn her departure 17
grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren and 6 great great
grandchildren. Two
brothers, Wm. of Bucklin,
She
was a member of the Christian Church and was sincere and earnest in her
religious convictions. She was a
Christian of the highest type as she always cleaved to that which was right and
good and abhorred that which was false and wrong.
As
a mother, sister, friend and neighbor Grandmother Kelso ranked among the finest
that God ever sent to this earth for her children she lived a life of unselfish
devotion, always endeavoring to do things for their satisfaction and enjoyment.
To
everyone else she was nothing less than a mother she was good to everyone, no
matter who it was and tried always to help others over
the steep and rocky places of life’s journey.
Even
though this mother, grandmother, relative and friend has departed forever from
us, each of us whom are sorrowing find consolation when we look back and see
what a useful and beautiful life she has lived.
Again we are condoled when we know that all of
these things which have impressed our lives and have been written on the sands
of time, have also been written in God’s record books of Heaven. To all those who remain the life of
Grandmother Kelso is a challenge.
For
84 years she has witnessed the changes in a swift
moving world. She has lived through
periods of depression, temptations, joys and sorrows and each time she has been
the victor.
Never
once was she undaunted by all of life’s incessant surging elements. May all whom are left behind look to his life
as a model, so they too when the summons calls them to join that innumerable
caravan that moves on and on into eternity, be prepared, as Grandmother Kelso
was to pass on into the land of everlasting rest and pleasant dreams.

was converted several years ago and since has been one
of the finest Christian believers; it has ever been the privilege of the writer
to meet. Her ideas were very clear cut and she was absolutely unswerving in her religious
convictions. Her Faith had removed the
fear of death and to her the time of leaving friends and loved ones was a time
of gladness and thanksgiving. She left
us with joy in her heart because she knew she was going to meet the
Master. The world would be a much
happier place if more people had the sublime faith that this girl had. She has taken something from the community
that has not only been a source of strength and comfort to her family but to
her friends as well. Even in her
sickness members of the family consulted with her in regard
to business matters and other personal affairs. Her judgment was always good. She truly was an exceptional character.
Several
years ago Miss Langwell
contracted tuberculosis and felt from the beginning that she had no
chance. It seemed that
from that time she tried to be a model of courage and Faith to all who visited
her. Few sick people had had more
affection or greater gifts bestowed upon them than she. Flowers, books, handkerchiefs, and all the
little gifts that mean so much to an invalid were gladly
received by her and her expressions of appreciation were simple proof of
her gratitude.

age of 11 years. With these two exception the large family circle is unbroken. There are left to share the

William
Marcusson, farmer of near New Boston, met death
Monday afternoon in a tragic accident, when his tractor overturned and pinned
him beneath a wheel.
His
son, Maurice, and a brother-in-law, Glen Cohoon, were
driving a car near the Marcusson place. The car became stuck in the mud, and they
went to the field to get Mr. Marcusson to use his
tractor in pulling the car out.
They
found him lying in a deep ditch, the large tractor on its side with one wheel
almost covering Mr. Marcusson’s body. It was impossible to remove the heavy machine
until several neighbor men were called in.
It
is thought that as he plowed, he looked back to watch the plows, and the soft
dirt banking the ditch suddenly gave way.
Apparently the accident had occurred only a
short time before discovery of the body.

Lavon
Eugene, only son of Lewis and Retha Wright, was born
January 18, 1926 at Bucklin,
We will often sit and think of him
When we are alone;
For memory is the only thing,
That grief can call its own
He never failed to do his best;
His heart was true and tender
He toiled so hard for those he loved
And left them to remember.
