Springs Valley Herald (September 15, 1932) Obituary
Charles W. Newland, twelfth child of Benjamin and Eliza Rodman Newland, was born west of West Baden May 10, 1853. He often spoke of being the twelfth child, and the youngest to grow to maturity, the thirteenth child having died in infancy. Of the eleven whom he often mentioned as older than himself there were six brothers and five sisters, all of whom in days gone by bade farewell to earth for the realities of that which lies beyond.
Dr. Newland worked on his father's farm and attended the county schools near at hand until he was 19 years of age when he began teaching school and also became a student at Dover Hill Academy in Martin County. Later he began reading medicine in the office of Dr. H. W. Shirley of Shoals, then attended the Medical College of Ohio in Cincinnati from which institution he graduated in March 1882. He began the practice of medicine that year at Hillham.
In 1888 he moved to Carroll County, Mo. where he practiced medicine until 1907 when he quit to devote himself to farming.
November 8, 1882 he was united in marriage to Helen S. Brown of Orange County. With her remain their three children, H. B. of Breckinridge, Mo., Mrs. Bertha Willis of Bosworth, Mo. and C. W. of Ainsworth, Neb., and Miss Geraldine Willis, the granddaughter also of Bosworth, Mo.
While young Dr. Newland united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at the time of his father became a member, the Newlands being of Quaker stock. He was deeply interested in religious affairs, being punctual in attendance and always giving strictest attention to matters pertaining to the deeper spiritual experiences. He was well know for his proclivities to discuss in personal conversation the religious life and the interpretation of the scriptures and was unusually well versed in theological subjects for a layman. He always testified that he never knew when he was converted, but he was convinced that his relationship with Christ was sure, although he was always inquiring for more light in the faith.
In his profession of Medicine in Missouri he was a member of most of the local medical societies and was for a time a member of the Board of the United States Pension Examining Surgeons at Carrollton, Mo. There he had a good practice and was rated as a very successful practitioner.
He and Mrs. Newland returned to French Lick in 1926 when he transferred his church membership to the Methodist Church and was admitted to the local order of Free and Accepted Masons.
He had become a familiar personality in the town and his absence from all church services will be noted with sadness. His devotion was of the old school of church members, which is all too rapidly passing from among us. The new order is less devout and less informed in spiritual truth. Dr. Newland left us September 5 at the age of 79 years, 3 months and 25 days, to join one of his children who died in infancy and the other loved and lost awhile.

CARD OF THANKS

We wish to extend our thanks to neighbors and friends for the kindness and sympathy shown us in our late bereavement. Especially do we thank the minister, the musicians, member of the Masonic Order and for the many beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. C. W. Newland and Children. Submitted by Tom Agan.

Tlitha Ella Phillips, daughter of John and Martha Phillips, was born in Mitchell, Ind. March 11, 1905 and departed this life October 28, 1932 at the age of 27 years, 7 months and 18 days.
At this early age in life God in his infinite wisdom deemed it best to take from our midst this precious mother.
In early childhood she with her parents moved to French Lick at which place she resided until death.
In October 1923 she was united in marriage to Eliza Phillips and to this union were born five children, two of which have preceded her in death. The surviving are Ruby, 9, Junior, 6, and little Evelyn, 9 months.
In July of this year she was taken ill and after many weeks of patient suffering she paid the supreme price by which she obtained eternal life. Throughout her ordeal of suffering she was patient, hoping that God might if he deemed best spare her to be with her children, but wholly resigned to his will satisfied in the faith to which she dedicated her life and with that perfect resignation known only to the child of God.
At the age of 22 Ella was born again in the Pentecostal faith and was until death an earnest and zealous follower of the cross ever rejoicing in the knowledge of an everlasting heritage from whence there shall be no more suffering or heartaches or sorrow. Thus passes this dear one not to oblivion, not to despair, but to immortality, a heaven that's fair where the redeemed shall sing around the throne. Rejoice for the Lord has called her home.
She leaves to mourn her passing a devoted husband, three children, a father and mother, two sisters, Mrs. Owen Graves and Mrs. Jerry Morris of French Lick, four brothers, Leonard, Herbert, Elvis and Sammy, and a host of other relatives and friends who will long remember her.

PALASKI, Walter, Springs Valley Herald (December 8, 1932) Death Notice
WIFEBEATER HIDES, DIED FROM EXPOSURE
Walter Palaski Found Dead Near Elon Monday, Three Days After Beating Wife
Hunters in search of quail discovered the body of Walter Palaski, farm hand, in a field near Elon Monday about noon. A worn pair of overalls were the only outer garments in which the body was clad and death resulted from the exposure of three days and nights in the open.
Palaski disappeared from the farm of George Morganroth where he was employed early Friday morning after beating his wife into unconsciousness with a shotgun. Fear of mob violence by the other farm hands evidently kept him from returning to the farm or going to neighboring farms for shelter. Beside the body was found the gun with which Palaski had beat his wife and the twisted and broken condition of the weapon gave mute testimony to the terrific beating which the unfortunate woman received at the hands of the berserk husband.
Coroner R, L. Holiday and Sheriff Hammond of Paoli were notified and together with Marshall Harry Robbins and undertaker Ben Schmutzler went to the farm to examine the body before removing it to this place to be prepared for burial. Submitted byTom Agan.

To much praise cannot be given to Claude for the devotion and assistance he gave the father in his declining days, and who alone was with him at the last.

Mrs. Rogerson's life has not been exempt of hardships as for seventeen years she has been a widow and upon her fell the care of the home. Never the less , courageously and with faith in God she faced her trials with resignation to her Heavenly Father's will. Nearly three years ago her son, Wilbur, was taken to the hospital for an operation from which he never recover. It was a great blow for her to give up her only son. From that time she has been failing in health.

The 15th of this month she had a stroke of paralysis and grew constantly worse until Wednesday when she slipped away to be with Jesus and loved ones gone before.
For forty years she has been a true follower of God and a firm believer in the Christian religion. For about fifteen years she has been a faithful member of the Pilgrim Holiness Church. Her prayers, testimonies and rejoicing will not soon be forgotten. Many times, with face aglow, as though lit up with a heavenly radiance, she has praised God for his saving, sanctifying and keeping power, and many, many times in her personal testimony she was heard to say, "God had never left me alone. All is well, and I am merely awaiting the time the Lord shall call and I shall leave this land of sin and sorrow for my Heavenly Home."
While in bed, gradually growing worse, she rejoiced and praised God, saying she was ready to go.
She was a loving, sympathetic and faithful mother, wide awake to the interest of her family, always holding them up to God in prayer by faith. She will be greatly missed by her loved ones, who feel they have list a treasure. Her place in the home and the Church will be vacant. However the influence of her Christian life will live long.
