OBITUARY

Deep in our hearts lies a picture

Of our loved ones gone to rest,

In memory's frame we shall always keep it

As long as life shall last.

Mrs. Ona Harbison, aged 79 years, 1 month, and 9 days, departed this life on February 28, 1963. She was the sixth child of Francis Marion and Martha Ann Grimes Clodfelter.

She was born in Russell township and lived most of her life in Putnam county. She was a member of the Russellville Christian Church and had been in failing health since November of 1960.

On November 19, 1906 she was united in marriage to Wilbur B. Harbison, who survives her. To this union were born six children; Dalton, of Roachdale, Ivan of Greencastle R. 1., Hallie Fowler of Greencastle, R. 4, Marie Ensor, of Bainbridge, Bernice Lewis of Greencastle, and Lucille Cooper of Russellville. Besides these dear ones, she leaves to miss her: 16 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, 3 son-in-laws, 2 daughters-in-law, a sister-Mrs. Tilla Ballard of Waynetown, and many other relatives and friends. Her parents, four brothers-Ed, an infant, Franklin, and Jess- and three sisters, Ida, Cordelia and Olivia, preceded her in death. Among her clippings was found this chosen poem:

Beyond life's golden sunset

Lies a city bright and fair in the land of God's tomorrow

And our loved ones wait us there.

Tis a place of wonderous beauty

Where they know no grief or fear

And where God himself in tenderness

Shall wipe away all tears.

So rejoice today in knowing,

That your loved one has found peace

In the land of God's tomorrow

Where His blessings never cease.

IN MEMORY

In memory of our loved one, Ona Harbison, who left us one year ago today February 28, 1963.

Loving memories will never die

As years roll on and days go by,

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could see

Our dear Mother as she used to be?

Wouldn't it be wonderful to see her smile

And have her back for little while?

Could we be wrong in wanting her so

When the Angels want her too, we know?

Would we be wrong for missing her too

And all the things she used to do?

No, we wouldn't disturb her peaceful rest

For we know above all, that God knows best

So He called her to His home on high

But we will miss our Mother till the day we die

Sleep, dear Mother, we would have it so.

The parting will not be for long and you were ready to go

Sadly missed by the family, relatives and friends.
