Springs Valley Herald (August 12, 1915) Obituary
John F. Quinn, Town Clerk and Justice of the Peace, succumbed to the ravages of Brights disease, about twelve o'clock Sunday, at the West Baden Hospital where he had been taken the night before. He had been ailing for several years, but was such a useful man that his services were always in demand and he answered to the call of duty when he was not able to go. Gentle, loving, patient, he suffered much, but bore it heroically and fought with all his might to threw off the weight which was upon him, but the hand of the destroyer would not be stayed. The end came peacefully as he lay in the arms of his devoted wife.
For several years he had gone about in our midst, quietly doing good. He was a member of the G.A.R. Post, Masons and a church worker. The funeral was held at the Baptist Church Monday at 2:00 o'clock. Rev. Fred R. Davies of Brownstown, conducting the services.

The body was taken to Terre Haute for burial.
Thus the noble life has left its influence upon the hearts of all those who knew him and this it is that the world is a better place because John F. Quinn has lived. Submitted by Tom Agan.

Monday morning following about 1:56 o'clock the death angel called and Herman answered the call that all must answer sooner or later.

A card pinned to a beautiful bunch of flowers and accompanying the remains read as follows: "We express our sympathy to the bereaved and regret that one has been taken away from us that was a great class worker and Sunday School student." Signed up by the Sunday School teacher and members of the Baptist church. It was necessary that a special wagon be sent to French Lick to get the abundance of flowers which accompanied his remains.

CLEMENTS, George W., Springs Valley Herald (November 18, 1915) Death Notice
George W. Clements, after one week's illness suddenly passed away on last Wednesday morning. He had been in poor health several weeks when on the 3 inst. he became seriously ill. Dr. Sanders was called to his assistance and though all knew he was in a critical condition hopes were entertained for his recovery. On Wednesday he became suddenly dangerous and had Dr. Salb of Jasper called. The hired man went to Cuzco to meet the physician, but before he reached the town, a telephone message announced the death of Mr. Clements. His decease came while reclining his head against the bosom of his ailing companion. We are informed that he dropped his head forward and expired without speaking a word. Only three persons were present at the moment of death.
Funeral services were conducted by Elder Lamar, after which the Newton Stewart Lodge of F. and A. Masons rendered ritualistic ceremonies and consigned the remains to it long resting place.
Mr. Clements was a member of the Church of Christ at Elon, and though account of some disagreement had been inactive several years as a church member, he resumed religious services and took an active part and deep interest shortly before becoming ill. An uncommonly large audience assembled at the church for funeral services. We have not heard the report of the attending physician as to the cause of death, but from observation and family statements we judge the cause to be paralysis of the heart. He had suffered at least two strokes before death though not serious.
Mr. Clements was a good citizen, a prominent Free Mason and a successful farmer whom the community will greatly miss. Submitted byTom Agan.

FLICK, Sadie Belle, Springs Valley Herald (December 16, 1926) Obituary
Sadie Belle Flick, daughter of James and Nancy Jane Buck, was born in Dubois County, Indiana April 16th, 1883.
She was married to Garfield Flick July 19th, 1902. To this union was born ten children, nine of which survive the mother. One died in infancy. The names of the children are as follows: Harry D., Bessie Radcliff, Coleman D., Harold G., Charles M., Ralph M., Frances K., James F., and Mary Belle.
For twenty-four years sister Flick has shared the joys and sorrows of the home and has been a real mother. No word means so much as mother, no loss so great as that of a mother, no hands so tender, no affection so strong, no sympathy so great. The busy world may neglect us, but mother's love is unchanging, abiding and will abide forever. The loss of mother is irreparable. The empty chair in silence speaks of the loss, the longing and craving of the children for sympathy and the ministrations of a mother's love will continue throughout the years. God bless a mothers memory. On her grave plant some rose that blooms perpetually, and let the rose in silence speak of mothers perpetual sunshine, long suffering, gentleness, goodness and ever abiding influence in the home.
In the morning of life sister Flick remembered her creator, and gave her heart to God and united with the United Brethren Church. It seems to us, who see through a glass darkly, that the departure of this mother is almost a tragedy. It may be truly said of this mother, her sun has gone down while it was yet day.
At 4:40 a.m. December 8th, 1926 this mother moved out of this earthly house or tabernacle, and has gone to occupy a mansion and wave a palm and wear a crown. Age 43 years, 7 months and 22 days.
A large sympathetic audience attended the funeral, conducted by Rev. N. F. Denny from the text found in Matthew 22, second chapter, and 32nd verse. [I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.] Interment at Ames Chapel.
She leaves a husband, nine children and two sisters to mourn her departure.

Oh, friends of ours we grieve to loose
The grasp of mothers hand,
How much we need each other here
Each fully understand,
But, oh, the joy it brings to us
To know that we may stand
"Over on the Golden shore"
And clasp her hand again.
