Obituary
Harriet, daughter of Samuel
and Theodosia McCammon was born Sept 7, 1856 and departed this life Nov 2,
1907, aged 51 years 1 month 25 days. She was united in marriage to Dr. James I.
Norman Feb 10, 1886. To this one son,
William O was born. Deceased was of a family of six children, two brothers,
William and Joseph and one sister Mrs. Mary Ann Sturgeon still survive her. She
was a member of the Christian Church at Parkeville for a number of years, where
she was a constant attendant as long as her health permitted. She was a firm
believer in the religion of Jesus Christ and her last words were a prayer. In
early life she became imbued with the principles of truth and virtue, which are
the brightest gems in the diadem of a wife and mother. She had been a constant
sufferer for the last five years. She was a kind and loving wife, an
affectionate mother and good neighbor. To the father and son she has left a
rich legacy of life of devotion to their welfare and happiness. She was ready
at all times to aid the needy and distressed and many acts of kindness are
known to neighbors and friends. All that human skill and attention could
accomplish was done for her but of no avail. We devoutly recognize the hand of
a Father who knows the best way and time to take His children home. The Divine
Reaper knows what fruit is ready for the heavenly garner. Ere her garments

James Shelby
oldest son of John and Sarah Ann Collings, came to
this mortal sphere Sept 10, 1856; passed from the stage of action Oct 20, 1907,
age 51 years 1 month 9 days. He was born and reared upon a farm and at the age
of 21 left a hospitable parental roof to make his way in the world. May 2, 1877, he took unto himself an amiable
wife in the person of Miss Rebecca Collings. They established a home and
together lived happy for a period of 30 years. One son was born to them - Elder
Chauncey Ray Collings. Deceased was
confined to his bed Sept 26 with typhoid fever and was a patient sufferer for
over 4 weeks. During the latter part of his illness there was hopeful evidence
of recovery until a few days prior to the end when he was stricken with a weak
action of the heart and in spite of all that could be done it succeeded in
closing his mortal career. His occupation was that of a farmer and the well
kept farm and beautiful home where he lived is a shining monument to his
unfaltering industrious management. As a
financier he was successful, possessing exceptionally good judgment, supported
by a business ability that rendered his council efficient upon all
occasions. He was a close student and
was well informed upon all subjects.
Contention knew no place in his daily life, yet he unswervingly adhered
to what he believed to be right. he was a man of
sterling integrity and as an honest, upright and accommodating neighbor and
citizen he had no superiors. First he did right because of the actuation of the
principal that it is right to do right, because it is right; second, he lived
right because his footsteps were guided by the lamp of heaven that leads in no
other than the right and acceptable way.
He always avoided an ostentatious life and adhered to moderation
throughout the course of his mortal career. While he was public spirited he
exercised a conservation deliberation in taking hold of public improvements,
but when convinced that it was a benefit to his fellowman would lend aid
sententiously toward pushing it along.
Death is mysterious. We may
theorize upon it, yet amid it all we are forced back to the conclusion that by
the disobedience of one man sin entered into the world and death by sin. This
is what has cut our neighbor and friend down, its blighting consequences closed
his eyes which once looked upon the beautiful scenes painted upon the canvas of
time; it has compelled his journey thru the valley of the shadow of death into
that quiet and undisturbed repose to sleep until the Savior shall come to
received his precious jewels and take them home where sickness, pain and death
are unknown and goodbye is never heard. May the God of Heaven comfort the heart
broken son, the aged father in his declining years and all who mourn on account
of their loss. The deceased leaves a son, daughter-in-law, one grandchild, a
father, one brother, two sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn
their loss. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C.S. Airhart and Dodimead,
after which the remains were laid to rest in the

days. She grew up with some
opportunities as were common to the young people in her time and community. She was quiet and unassuming in her
disposition and bore her afflictions with great patience. On Dec 23, 1891, she was married to James
Hocker. To this union were born two
sons, Frank and Howard. These with their
lonely father and the widowed mother of the deceased, who is now bereft of the
last member of her immediate family, mourn their irreparable loss. Cora was a kind and loving companion and a
devoted mother, always trying to teach her boys to grow up into honest and
upright men. She took a great interest in the Sunday School
and wanted her children to be present and take part in the Sunday School
work. Cora was religious in nature, but
never united with any church still her hope and trust was in her Savior. After
a lingering illness with consumption at an unexpected moment she quietly and
peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. The funeral was held from the church at

James Oliver COLLINGS was
born Aug 24, 1838; died Oct 21, 1908 at this home in Crawfordsville where he
had lived a number of years. He was first married to Mary Ellen Funkhouse with

1903 he again married Emma Warbritton and happily together they trod the rough
path of life. He for several years had been stricken with disease and at times
suffered almost greater than he could bear, but his last illness was only a few
days and at noon Wed his spirit responded to the beckon from on high. He was a
member of the UB Church where he loved to worship and in his strong day was
constant in attendance. He leaves in loneliness a brother George, the one
surviving member of a family of 14 children besides a number of nieces and

A Surprised Party
Wednesday Sept 16, was the
48th anniversary of S.R. Beal's initiation into the mysteries of free masonry
and the brethren at Catlin heartily seconded by the Sisters of the Eastern
Star, planned and executed a surprise supper in honor of the occasion. Brother
Beal was down town much interested as were many others in an address by a
wandering Indian evangelist on Indian customs and beliefs which took place in
front of W.R. Pence's store. It required considerable generalship to get the
old gentleman away from the Indian and up to the surprise. "Let's go home,
Ridley, said his wife, who was a confederate in the surprise business. "Well, go home if you want to, I'm going
to stay here till the Indian gets thru." But I'm getting chilly out here
in this night air; let's go home." Ridley gave her his pocket handkerchief
to use as a wrap and continued his duty as an auditor at the Indian lecture.
But generalship finally prevailed and the old gentleman was ushered into the
presence of about 50 of his friends, bit little, old and young, most of them
members of F&AM and OES and the surprise was genuine - nothing bogus about
it whatever; and nothing bogus about the two large tables which the sisters had
loaded with about every triumph of the Hoosier kitchendom. Upon one of the
tables stood a frame covered with shining tinsel, supporting the square and
compass enclosing the letter "G" over arched by the letters OES, all
the work of Mrs. Addie Montgomery show as highly complimented on the design and
workmanship. After the banquet we repaired to the sitting room and sang two very
appropriate songs and heard four short, excellent addresses by Messrs. Levi
Nevins of Bloomingdale, SR Beal, who extended heartfelt thanks to his visitors,
JH Richardson and Bro Downey, minister of the ME Church a very enjoyable
evening with all. We closed by singing a
parting hymn and at a late hour with mutual good wishes and pleasant good
nights. FAM

age of 20 has lost a true, devoted loving mother. No sacrifice was too great
for her to make for the comfort and happiness of her darling boy, and our
hearts go out in sympathy for him today. Not only was she a true mother to her
own children but to the children of Mr. Stout's former marriage. She has helped
to make and keep their grandfather's home a home of love and comfort to them
and him, a home where they were always welcome and to Lawrence she indeed was a
mother, for he knew no other, and in her sickness asked that some of the
children might be with her as she seemed to realize it was her last and she
often spoke of good and kind her husband and the children were to her and said
she did not feel she could ever repay them. Although not a member of any church
she professed a hope in Christ years ago, and was a firm believer in the savior
of the world, and of the doctrine taught by the predestinarian Baptists. Thru
all her sorrow and suffering her faith never wavered, submitting her will to
His knowing that all would be well in the "Sweet bye and bye." She leaves to mourn her departure a husband,
one son 6 step children, 10 step grandchildren, 3 sisters and a host of

friends home to that and of fadeless beauty and where we will part with her no
more. Just another golden sheaf has been
garnered from out the golden grain by the angel reaper who comes as gently as
the wings of Heaven. It has been taken
to a land of eternal summer where all is fair and bright, and where no storm clouds ever
gather. we
shall find it garnered there. Margaret
has gone to be a treasure in our Father’s kingdom where she shall shine in
wondrous beauty safe thru all eternity. She has gone into that peaceful slumber
which shall hold thru all the busy change of hours: she has gone into that
sweet rest where all pain and sorrow have vanished with the night. Her spirit now walks in Glory light. She was “but a lovely blooming flower, a
frail smiling solace of the hour. “ but the Lord had
the need of this floweret and He has taken it to transplant; where it shall
bloom in fields of light. Not in cruelty
and wrath did the reaper come but ‘twas just an angel visited this green earth
and took this tiny flower away where we shall find her again in the fields of
light above, for Christ has said, “Suffer little children to come unto me for
of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” She
leaves a grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, a brother and a host of relatives
and friends to mourn her loss. The funeral service was held at Farmers Chapel,
June 1 at 1:30 p.m. Interment at the Martin cemetery, Rev. C. O. Sherrill
officiating.

In Memory of a Babe
Corless Earl, little son of
Benjamin and Estella Berry was born January 24, 1909; died August 1, 1909 aged
6 months and 8 days. The little fellow was sick the greater part of his life up
until the past month or so, when he seemed as though he was going to be spared
to bless the home with his ever laughing face and bright smiles, which he
always had for everyone he knew. But our hopes were all so quickly blasted when
that terrible disease, cholera Infantum took hold of him, and his little soul
soon flitted away to the God who gave it, and so to the Father's will we humbly
bow, believing that he doeth all things well. Home will not be the same with
Corless gone; we will listen in vain for his little voice, there will be no
tiny hands held out to welcome us, no little baby to fill our arms, and it will
be so lonesome everywhere for the little form is still, and the bright little
eyes are closed forever. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Sherril, at
Portland Mills, burial at
