BEATTY, Earl N., Springs Valley Herald (October 15, 1936) Death Notice

Funeral services will be conducted in Cuzco tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 2:00 o'clock with the French Lick Legion Post giving a military burial in the nearby cemetery.
Schmutzler will be in charge of the funeral arrangements.

Springs Valley Herald (October 22, 1936) Obituary
Earl N. Beatty, son of George and Florence Beatty, was born in Knox County, Indiana April 20, 1895 and departed this life October 14, 1936 at the age of 41 years, 5 months and 24 days.
Upon graduation from high school he chose teaching as his profession, and came to be a very successful teacher, well known in the teaching circles of Southern Indiana.
He enlisted in the service of his country December 13, 1917 and faithfully performed his duties until discharged January 13, 1919 at the close of the World War.
On February 14, 1925 he was united in marriage to Olive Cox and made a peaceful and happy home. To this union was born one daughter, Mary Ruth.
In 1924 he gave himself into the care of his Lord and became an enthusiastic leader in church and Sunday School.
He joins his father, two sisters and three brothers who preceded him in death and leaves to mourn his passing his wife, Olive, his daughter, Mary Ruth, his mother, two sisters, Ruth and Fern, other relatives and a host of friends.
He entered the U. S. Veterans Hospital at Indianapolis May 18 of this year where he remained until his death. He fought a courageous fight for his life and although he despaired at times, he fully trusted his Lord and bore his sufferings with the faith that his Lord knew best.
Last July he wrote a letter to his wife in which he said, "another Sunday gone by and I didn't even know what the Golden Text was. Sometime surely I shall be able to attend Sunday School again, but if I don't there are so much greater joys promised that's the reward I'm seeking. Life here may brighten, but it is a lot of suffering just now. Just the same God knows best about our troubles."
Although Earl leaves us in the prime of life, we realize that few who have lived their three score and ten have been able to live a fuller life. As a father and husband, as a soldier and citizen, as a scholar and teacher he was admired and respected by all who knew him, Let us think then that in his 41 years he did the work of a life time and that God called him home because his work was done.

CARD OF THANKS

We sincerely thank our relatives, neighbors and friends for their many acts of kindness and sympathy extended to us during the illness and upon the death of our beloved husband and father, Earl Beatty. We especially thank Mr. Schmutzler, the funeral director, and the American Legion for their efficient services, Rev. Propheter and Rev. Crocker for their consoling words, the choir for the beautiful hymns; and all who remembered us with the lovely flowers and all others who in any way contributed to our comfort in this sad time.

Springs Valley Herald (January 7, 1937) Obituary
We come today with love and honor for the memory of our neighbor, our friend and our loved one whose tragic death has brought a profound sorrow to this community. In thus honoring the life and memory of William J. Dean we like to think of him as one who was one of us, the commonplace man, who lived as we love, worked with his fellow man, stumbled, perhaps, somewhere in life, yet rose above all to become a man among men, a companion of love and a citizen we revere.
He was the son of John A. and Emma Dean, and was born in Paoli, Indiana, July 15, 1899. All his life was spent at this place, where he was ever industrious, genial and respected.
At an early age he became a member of this (United Brethren) church and has ever held his affiliation here, and enjoyed the teaching of the Master's word. For many years he has been a loyal member of the I. O. R. M. Lodge, at this place, and loved the teachings of that order. His place among his fellow members will be missed, but his faithfulness to the order will be a benediction and a blessing to its principles he so much cherished.
He was united in marriage to Myrtle Lashbrook November `7, 1922, and with this companion and son, Willie, Jr., to whom has suddenly befallen this irreparable loss, he has loved these few years a sweet companionship, happy in his home and in the love of wife and son.
On December 26, 1923 he came into the employ of the Monon Railway Company, and near the close of his day's work, December 26, 1936, just 13 years of faithful labor, came the tragic close of earthly labor, crushed beneath the man-made power he had so faithfully served. Thus at the young and useful age of 37 years, 5 months and 11 days, the great spirit of Bill, your friend and mine, crossed the River and into the realms of endless day into that Beautiful Isle of Somewhere there to await the coming of loved ones who must soon follow on.
With this companion and son, he leaves the aged father and step-mother, a half sister, Miss May Mosson of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and his many friends here who have known him since childhood. And we would not forget here his employer, Mr. Pritchett, who today mourns with these two families in having lost the companionship of these two beloved employees. Submitted byTom Agan.

MOORE, Leonard Walter, Springs Valley Herald (January 14, 1937) Obituary
"On Thursday morning as the sun was rising in the east and a new day had dawned, the death angel called a father and husband home to rest and to begin a new life where there is no death."
Leonard Walter Moore, son of Edward and Peggy Marley Moore, was born February 28, 1858 and departed this life December 10, 1936, at the age of 78 years, 9 months and 12 days.
In the year 1878 he was united in marriage to Jane Riley. This this union one child, Maggie, was born whom with her mother he lost later by death.
In 1881, he was again married to Laura Alice Kerby. To this union were born eleven children of whom four have preceded him to the great beyond.
He was born and his entire life has been spent in the Red Quarry community and he has endeared himself to all his friends and neighbors.
Mr. Moore joined the United Brethren Church at the Old Red Quarry Church under the preaching of Rev. Hile in 1911 and continued in that faith until the end.
He believed in the teaching of the Savior who said, "Love thy neighbor as thy self." When health permitted he was found at his post of duty caring for those who were sick or in need. He was an affectionate and loving husband, a good father, always interested in the welfare of his loved ones until the end.
For the last few years he had been in failing health and about five months ago, he, with the mother, came to live with their daughter, Eliza, who with the aid of the other children, did everything possible to make his last days pleasant and comfortable.
He leaves to mourn their loss his broken hearted wife, three sons, Edward of French Lick, Raymond of Mitchell, Ind., Asa of Oaktown; four sisters, Mrs. Eliza Campbell,. Mrs. Rolla Hendrix of French Lick, Mrs. Albert Stout of Mitchell and Mrs. S. C. Bowden of Sharpesville, Ind.; one brother, Thomas of French Lick; two-brothers, Solomon of Cannellburg, Ind. and Isom of Buffala, Kans.; one half-sister, Mrs. Maggie Bledsoe of Emison; one uncle, Kemp Marley of Madison, Ill.; thirty six grandchildren, several great grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends.
But we do not weep as those who have no hope, for we have the assurance that "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

CARD OF THANKS

We wish to express our thanks and appreciation for the kindness and sympathy of friends and neighbors during our recent bereavement. Mrs. Laura Moore. Submitted byTom Agan.
