Springs Valley Herald (July 20, 1950) Obituary
Death
is inevitable. It is the turning of another page in the book of life.
Milton says, "Death is the golden key that opens the palace of
eternity." Bunyon describes it as a passage into a palace out of a sea
of trouble into a haven of rest. "Come unto me all ye that labor and I
will give you rest," said our Master and He has called from our midst a
dear father, a loving husband and a good neighbor.
John
W. Mills was born November 17, 1892. The oldest son of William and
Margaret Newton Mills. His whole life was spent near Elon, the place of
his birth. On February 21, 1912 he was married to Pearl Owen and they

Ind. and Calvin still at home.
He became a

of French Lick, 4 half brothers, Claude, Oscar and Roscoe of Gary, Ind.
and Howard of Hillham, Ind. Also a host of other relatives and friends.
He
was a good neighbor and friend. To be a good neighbor is to find the
way to sweetest joy and it was his joy to be of help to his neighbors
and friends. Realizing that God is father to all whom we meet and that
he has placed some of his divine spirit in each of us - Johnny found
the good in his neighbors and friends.
Whether
we are in the shadow or sunshine, God is with us. Sorrow sometimes
clears our eyes so that we are able to place true value upon things of
life. And since the disease of his body could not be stayed by human
hands God call, "Be ye strong of heart and come bravely and
peacefully." In the presence of his loved ones he went bravely and
peacefully onward to his home, July 12, 1950 at the age of 57 years, 7
months and 25 days.

Springs Valley Herald (August 3, 1950) Obituary
Mrs.
Lillian Ethel Smith, daughter of George W. and Polly Goldman, wife of
Carl H. Smith, was born November 10, 1888 in Crawford County, Indiana.
Her life was lived in the southern part of the State of Indiana, where
even nature speaks to one of God; therefore, it was here that she came
to know the love and the goodness of God. This knowledge which came to
her early in life served as a light for all the walks f life. She
united with the Methodist Church in French Lick during the ministry of
Rev. Jeffery.
Another great
love
entered into her life and on June 30, 1907 she was united in marriage
to Carl H. Smith. The Smiths established their home and found that life
together was a thing of beauty. This beauty was made even more
beautiful by the birth of a daughter, Martha Belle. Mrs. Smith then
became the devoted mother which she continued to be throughout the
years until she began, with great joy, to take over the dual role of
Mother and Grandmother, which double duty she fulfilled with wonderful
exactness. The great love which she has for Her God and for her family
made life a sweet song.
In recent
months those who were close to her realized that the strength of her
body was failing, but were also conscious of the fact that as the
bodily strength failed, spiritual strength increased. She approached
the failure of the strength of the body like unto one who was preparing
to take a journey, a pleasant journey, or like unto one who wraps the
mantle of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. Her
departure was made on Monday evening, July 24, 1950.
She
leaves to mourn her departure her husband, Carl, her daughter, Martha
Belle Pfeiffer, her son-in-law, Lee Pfeiffer, her three grandchildren,

Mrs. Rebecca
Crecelius, 80, passed away at her home Saturday morning following a
long illness.
Funeral
rites were held Monday afternoon in the Christian Church where she was
a member. Dr. G. W. Wise, assisted by Rev. C. W. Parks and Bro. Fred

Lick, three daughters, Mrs. Essie Hawhee and Mrs. Violet Crecelius,
both of French Lick and Mrs. Mae Huss of Detroit, Michigan.
Springs Valley Herald (July 27, 1950) Obituary
The
life of Rebecca D. Crecelius was lived each day, much better than a
writer can put into words. The apostle Pail has said, "Study to show
thyself, approved, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed." The in
the ten commandments we read, "love thy neighbor as thyself." Surely
these words will so aptly apply to the life of Rebecca Delcinia
Crecelius, daughter of Jonathan and Eliza McBride, who was born south
of Paoli, Indiana, December 10, 1869, and so quietly and peacefully
slipped away , in the morning of July 22, 1950 at the age of 80 years,
seven months and twelve days.
Becky,
as she was known by many, was married to Thomas Crecelius on September
26, 1886 and to this union, which lasted more than fifty years, eleven
children were born, namely: Mrs. Essie Hawhee, of French Lick, Indiana,
Mrs. Eliza Overlin, Weaver J. Crecelius, Edward G., Maggie, Willie,
Clyde, Sherman, Violet, Mrs. Mae Huss of Detroit, Michigan and Waldo
Hoyt. Five children, Eliza, Weaver, Maggie, Willie, Hoyt and the
husband have preceded her in death.
Mrs.
Crecelius, the daughter of a Christian minister, united with the church
early in life and lived a devoted Christian all her life. She loved her
God and her greatest desire was to rear her children in a christian
home. Several time she has read her bible through and it gave her a
great comfort to hear the gospel of her Savior preached. she attended
the Christian Church regularly and was an ever faithful worker, as long
as her health would permit. After he health failed about a year ago,
she would sit and listen to the word as it came over the radio. It was
one of her true Christian characteristics to discuss the writings of
the Bible with her many friends. During her recent illness she
requested the family all join her in a communion service in the home.
That indeed was a happy moment for her. Just before the Death Angel
came for her, she whispered, "I'm praying." What a consoling thought it
was to her children, when she again said, "It's all right" and with a
smile she peacefully passed to her reward.
She
leaves to mourn her passing, six children, Mrs. Essie Hawhee, Edward
G., Clyde, Sherman, Mrs. Mae Huss of Detroit, Mich., and Violet of
French Lick, and one sister, Mrs. Emma Polen of Paoli. A sister, Maggie
Leasor and a brother, Sherman McBride have recently preceded her in
death.
She also
leaves 17 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and a host of near
relatives and friends.

want to express our sincere appreciation to all who offered their kind
assistance during our recent bereavement. We want to especially thank
