Minnie
Magdeline Pierce, second daughter of Napolean B. and Nancy Ann Pierce,
was born October 1, 1870 and departed this life September 4, 1935 at
the age of 64 years, 11 months and 4 days.
On
July 31, 1890 she was united in marriage to Andrew J. McDonald by the
Elder John P. Davis. This union was blest by the birth of eight
children, Alta, Clinton, Cleo, Anna, Audra, Rex, Grace and Elsie.
Besides these children and a loving husband, twelve grandchildren,
three sisters, three brothers, five son-in-laws and three
daughter-in-laws survive.
At the age
of sixteen she confessed her Christ and united with the Church of
Christ at Antioch under the pastorate of Elder Richard Bex and later
transferred her membership to the New Prospect Church of Christ.
Throughout
her entire life she held to a firm conviction that Christian living
exemplifies itself in service to others and devotion to home and
family. For more than forty-five years she labored with untiring effort
to rear her children in the best possible manner. Their joys were hers
and their troubles found ease in her sympathetic attitude. There is
great solace in the thought that she was truly a wonderful Mother. Her
great happiness when visited by her children will be lasting in the
memory of all.
When it came
time for
God to take her, the call came suddenly and after a week's illness her
soul went home to Him. Her passing breaks the family circle kept so
long intact.

W. O.

Springs Valley Herald (September 19, 1935) Obituary
William
Oscar Garrison, second son of Malinda and Woodford Garrison, was born
November 28, 1864 and departed this life September 10, 1935 at the age
of 70 years, 9 months and 13 days.
Early in his
life he gave his life to God, and has ever lived a devout Christian
life.
In the year
1885 he was united in marriage to Martha Anna Smith, daughter of Nancy
and Levi Smith.
But their
companionship was only of short duration and he was left to fight the
battles of life alone.
As
he loved the pleasures of a christian home so much and I'm sure there
are few individuals in the world that appreciated the association of
his loved ones more than the subject of this sketch. He appreciated any
little act of kindness and would always speak of it when administered
by his loved ones and friends.
He
acquired a good education through the common schools of the county and
preached in the United Brethren churches of the county for several
years. He developed every talent the Lord gave him, and really realized
the fact that he had a mission in earth in order to enjoy the blessing
of heaven. He loved the church and all God's people and attended
regularly when able. He feasted in his own home with his family through
hymns, prayer and the blessed word of God.
In
the year 1900 he was united in marriage to Lucy Wininger, widow of the
late John Wininger. By this marriage the family circle was enlarged by
four children. Mrs. Stella Briner, Mrs. Hulda Briner, Alva Wininger and
Eva Shellhorn. He was to them a father and they with the rest of his
loved ones will miss his ministering kindness.
For
the past four years the hand of affliction had dealt harshly with him,
yet he bore his suffering patiently and in a most cheerful manner.
Bearing evidence of his fear of God, and a desire for that home not
made with hands eternally in the heavens and as the evening sun lit up
his countenance he closed his eyes in that pure, perfect, restful sleep
which we called death.
Let us not
mourn his going but rather rejoice with him in that realm of sunshine
and flowers, of peace, joy and love.
Yes,
we shall miss him from the home, the church and from the community, a
faithful friend and helper has been removed. There will be one vacant
chair, but this is only one more link, drawing us nearer Heaven.
Besides
his aged widow and four step children already mentioned he leaves eight
grandchildren and four great grandchildren. He was especially fond of
children and loved these little children as really his own. He also
leaves three brothers, Salem, Edward and Alonzo, and one sister,
Martha, who so attentively helped to care for him the last few weeks of
his suffering. These with a large circle of other relatives and friends
pause to drop a tear at his passing.
His parents
and two sisters, Emma and Ella, and one brother, Grover, have preceded
him in death. Submitted by Tom Agan.

Springs Valley Herald (September 26, 1935) Obituary
Cynthia F.
McDonald, daughter of the late Andrew J. and Susan Wininger, was born
October 1, 1889 in Crawford County, Indiana.
In 1913 she
married Frank McDonald. God blessed this union with four children,
Harold, Opal, Violet and June, all at home.
Early in her
youth she felt the need of a Savior and gave her heart to Jesus and
joined the Christian Church.
About
eight years ago her husband was converted and baptized and together
they joined the United Brethren Church. She and her husband have
brought their children up in the fear and admonition of the Lord and
their home has been a type of a happy family.
Mrs.
McDonald was a kind, devoted, loving wife, mother, sister, neighbor and
friend. she not only reigned as queen of her own home, but was kind and
helpful to others whom she thought might be in need. Her residence in
French Lick since her marriage, her pleasing and friendly disposition
have won for her many friends who will greatly miss her.
She
has been afflicted and suffered for years. God only knows how much she
has suffered but she bore it patiently and bravely. A few days ago she
expressed her desire to go Home with Jesus. This desire was realized as
the end came at the St. Edwards Hospital on Thursday, September 19,
1935 at the age of 45 years, 11 months and 19 days.
Those
who survive: the husband and four children; four brothers, Charley,
Harvey, Lum and Tom; two sister, Mrs. Pearl Kendall and Mrs. Helen
Graves; two half-brothers, John Wininger and Marion Wininger; seven
half-sisters, Mrs. Eliza Giles, Mrs. Sarah Dillinger, Mrs. Mary
Dillinger, Mrs. Janie Nelson, Mrs. Lucy Leonard, Mrs. Mattie Carnes and
Mrs. Hattie Moffet. The father, mother and an infant brother, Alva,
preceded her in death.
We do not
mourn as those who have no hope, but take much comfort in God's promise
that we shall be reunited to part no more.
How
conscious we are today that mother has been a part of our lives,
character, hopes, plans. Such a good life will continue to bless and
she will live on through these loved ones who follow after her.
This
mother has demonstrated that if motherhood were a trade for which all
mother should be paid, their value if paid would bankrupt heaven, or in
gold would bankrupt earth.
Funeral
services were held at the United Brethren Church on Sunday afternoon in
charge of the pastor, Rev. C. H. Ivy.
The
singing was by mixed quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson Maine,
Helen Kindred and Lori McIver, accompanied by Mrs. Loma Andrew at the
piano.
Rev. W. J.
Byrum read the scripture lesson and Rev. O. W. Haynes offered prayer.
Rev. M. P.
Kindred brought the message, following the reading of the life sketch
by the pastor.
Many
beautiful floral designs were presented which speaks for the high
esteem of Mrs. McDonald and the family.
About 700
people were in attendance, one of the largest in the history of the
church. Interment in Ames Chapel cemetery.
CARD OF THANKS
In
these few words we tender our heartfelt thanks to our neighbors and
friends, who so willingly offered their assistance during the illness
and death of our dear wife and mother, Cynthia McDonald. We also thank
the ministers for their consoling words, the pall bearers, those who
furnished cars, for the beautiful floral tributes and Mr. and Mrs.

On
February 7 in the year 1864, there came into the home of Stephen and
Nancy Witsman Wells, a son, Charles G. He grew to manhood on his
father's farm north of Paoli. On January 11, 1891 he was married to
Sarah Bell Campbell. To this union was born one son, Luther. He being
so fond of children, took into his home Rosa Pointer, now the wife of
Fred Dillinger of Kokomo, when she was a small child, rearing her as

Patty Dillinger. He is survived by one brother, Alva Wells, two
sisters, Mrs. Addie Lucas and Mrs. Hattie Springer, all of Paoli; and
one half-sister, Mrs. Sarah Jane Scott of Casey Creek, Ky.
He
made many friends in business and will not only be missed by the family
but by his wife circle of friends and neighbors, many of whom came to
his bedside to offer their help. He planned everything; business and
all his funeral arrangements, including ministers, quartet and his
favorite songs. He was ready to go, and assured his minister that there
was nothing in his way; that everything was bright and he was only
waiting to hear his name called. His only regret was leaving his family
and his favorite nephew, Fred. He spoke so often of how beautiful
Heaven must be. His passing leaves many sad hearts, but our loss is his
gain. He said many times, "All is well with my soul." A more beautiful
and comforting death message is seldom heard.
When
all that loving hands could do was done, granting every wish he asked
for, he left us on September 28, aged 71 years, 7 months and 21 days,
his fondest hope being realized to see how beautiful Heaven must be.

With
sentiment of deep gratitude we wish to express our sincere thanks and
appreciation to all our neighbors and friends for the many kindnesses
shown us at the death of our dearly beloved husband, father and

more to him. He trusted his new found Savior and prayed God's blessing
upon his loved ones.
The wife,
mother and other loved ones are to be commended for standing so

Residence was
in Orange County, except the last 17 years which have been in
Indianapolis and Cincinnati.
In 1930 she
was married to John Lavin. This journey together was short, but a happy
and devoted companionship.
She
was converted and joined the M. E. Church at Highland when 18 years
old. She realized several months ago that she could not get well,
witnessed that she was ready to go and longed for the eternal peace and
rest.
She was
ambitious, energetic,
a good home-maker, a good home keeper, a devoted wife, loving mother
and sister and a kind friend to all.
She
bore her months of affliction suffering patiently. When she could no
longer see to read the Bible, she had someone read it to her.
"The
Eastern Gate" was one of her favorite songs. It became precious to her
at the funeral service for her father and again for her mother.
According to her own testimony, she now enjoys the fulfillment of that
promise in the song, "I Will Meet You In the Morning."
Those
surviving: the husband (mentioned above), one son by a former marriage,
Naamon Snow, and wife, Ruth Snow; one sister, Mrs. Martha Charles; two
brothers, James Cornwell, French Lick and Charles Cornwell, Bedford;

Someone
has said, "Most all the other beautiful things come by twos and threes,
by dozens and hundred, plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows,
brothers, sisters, aunts and cousins, but only ONE MOTHER in all the
wide world. The sweet caressing influence of this ONE MOTHER floats
over our souls today like the perfume from a rose which seems to fill
us and lull us to sleep as in days of yore.
MOTHER,
that magnetic name! MOTHER, highest, holiest, angelic; God's gift,
immortal, changeless, vast; Thou who knew no barriers, no self, never
faltered, never forgot, to thee alone we sing with quivering lips, our
fervent words of praise. Thou hast been our "Queen of May" and we
follow with our flowers, our affections, our tears. We silently bow
beneath thy scepture of love today and humbly pray to the Father above
for strength to meet her some sweet day.

and sing all through his painful sickness remaining true and faithful
to the cause he served.

Lord. He lived these two weeks humble as a little child and ready for
the final call.
