April 10, 1891 – Friday

• The frost of Death has fallen athwart the threshold of the once happy home of Mr. Charles Craig, and blighter her, who sought by love and noble example to shield the little brood from harm and temptation. Last Friday night the wife and mother fell asleep, in that long last sleep that knows no waking on earth. Mrs. Sarah Day Craig, born in Champaign county, Ohio, January 1st, 1846, and was married to Charles Craig on March 1st, 1866. A husband, two sons and two daughters are left to mourn the absence of the wife and mother who possessed an abundance of gentle womanly virtue and more then heroic spirit. Her life was one unbroken thread of gentle deeds and kindly speech, affectionate and warm hearted to her family, true and loyal to her friends. Public sympathy and the most heartfelt commiseration of friends is given the sorrowing ones. Funeral services were conducted at the deceased late residence on Chestnut street by Rev. Russell B. Pope, of Grace M E. Church, who spoke most feelingly of the great sorrow and irreparable loss sustain by the family. The remains were followed to Oak Ridge Cemetery by a long cortege of sorrowing relatives and friends, and there placed in a vault. Mrs. Craig had been ill about four weeks and death is attributed to paralysis of the brain, caused by inflammation.

• The wife of Mr. F.F. Biggs, died in Gainesville Florida last Saturday. In the beauty of youth, pride of perfect womanhood, while yet enraptured in the world, the cruel treacherous hands of death were laid upon her. A bright, young life, reigning in her home and encircled by the affection and pride and family and friends, surely she seemed safe from the Grim Messenger. Comfort and consolation for such a sad bereavement as this has over taken the husband and two young daughter, is impossible; for words are about meaningless, jarring in their frailty upon scared sorrow. Across the sunny happy scene, there has come a shadow, deep and dark as hearts have ever known. A sad picture of the young wife taken from the home, and loving, yearning hearts leaves an impression pathetic in its appreciation of an irreparable loss. The remains arrived here last Wednesday and were conveyed to the late home of the deceased on East Chestnut street. Yesterday morning funeral services were conducted by Rev R. B. Pope and the interment took place in Oak Ridge Cemetery. Mrs. Biggs was born September 22nd, 1860 and was the daughter of Capt. A. Daugherty, a well known farmer of Jackson township. She leaves a husband and two daughters.

  Sister, dearest Sister, can it be
  That death has entered out quite home?
  That thou so good, so kind, so true,
  Art now lying within the silent tomb?
  That thou hast sunk away to rest
  And closed thy life on this earthly shore?
  And can it be that thou art gone
  And we shall meet on earth no more?

  
  Farewell, gentle-hearted sister!

  Our hearts are bowed with grief,
  To think that one so kind and true
  Should have a life so brief.
  We miss the light of thy glad smile –
  The love of thy fond heart.
  And we feel sad and lonely now
  Since thou didst depart.

  
  Farewell, farwell, how strong the chain

  That binds thee to our hearts.
  We weep that death so soon should come
  And rend its shining links apart
  We weep in sadness for the smile
  The voice, the love that will not die.
  Oh, Lizzie, Lizzie can it be
  We have to bid you a last good-bye!

  
  Good-bye, tis hard to give thee up –

  To part with one we loved so well.
  To drink of sorrows bitter cup,
  How hard no pen or tongue can tell.
  We would in meek submission bow
  A Father’s hand halt dealt the blow.
  We know “He doeth all things well”,
  Yet still the bitter tears flow.

  
  A precious one from us has gone;

  A voice we loved is still
  A place is vacant in our home
  Which never can be filled
  Lizzie we know that thou art gone
  But we still have thy love
  Awhile on earth we wait and pray
  Thou must be in Heaven above.
  Maggie

Nickie has left his earthly home,
To join the angles around the throne
God did not send him here to stay,
And called the young spirit away.


In the lamb’s book his name is enrolled,
And he is safe in the Shepherd’s fold;
His poor soul is among the blessed
And Nickie is now at rest.


At school is his vacant seat,
His school master’s voice not more still greet;
His teachers hand no more need guide
For Nickie’s books are laid aside.


That parting, which one year ago,
We never can forget
Nickie, can I soothe thy pangs of woe
Deep in my sad heart yet?


My boy – my own – my darling boy!
Death called from us away.
And left us here, his loss to mourn
One year ago to-day.


O, cruel tyrant Death, you stole
From me a mother’s joy;
But brought to heaven a welcome soul
My own – my darling boy.


But O, alas, fate willed it so,
Father, thy will be done;
Obedient to thy will I yield
My joy, my heart, my son.


And round my dwelling years
Through hopes bright eyes you’ve given;
The meeting of my darling boy,
Mother, son, in Heaven.


Our sorrow at parting ‘tis hard to tell;
It used to be “good-bye” mamma; now
It is farewell.

With pensive brow and aching heart.
We knell beside the mound,
Where little Johnny lies asleep
Beneath the damp, cold ground.


So young, so fair, so sweet, so true,

So gentle and so mild;
How can we ever give him up,
Johnny, our darling child.


Oh Johnny must we leave you here

In this dark, lonely place
Oh shall we never more behold,
Your sweet and smiling face.


Help us, Oh Lord, to hear the loss,

For we miss him everywhere,
We trust in God, it won’t be long
‘Til we all meet him there.


And oh the glorious promise given,

By Him, who reigns on high,
That is the throng around the throne
We’ll meet him bye and bye.

• Crushed in a Wreck
  Two Passenger Trains Collided With Terrible Force And Dan Longnecker’s Lifeless Body Is Taken From the Great Mass of Broken Cars

  
  Yesterday morning, at half passed eleven, Tuscarawas, a way station on the Pan Handle, three miles west of Dennison, and twenty-six miles east of this city, was the scene of a frightful accident, wherein one of the road’s employees was instantly killed and two postal clerks seriously injured. The west bound limited mail, which passes here about the noon hour, was nearing the end of the double track, which terminates at this point, and when the engineer Thomas Irwin applied the air brake, for some accountable reason it would not retard the train’s progress, and so great was the momentum that the engine passed through the switch and out upon the single track. The end of the double track is a meeting point for the limited mail and east bourn No. 10 passenger, which passed here at 10:03 a.m. and no sooner had Irwin recovered control of his train the No. 10 shot around the curve and the two great monsters locked in a terrific embrace.

  
  The engineers and foreman jump and escaped with slight bruises, but Dan Longnecker, No. 7 baggage-master was caught between a mass of baggage and the end of his car and instantly killed. The two postal clerks were seriously injured, while others were badly bruised and shaken up. It took nearly five hours to clear the track for the passage of trains.

  
  Longnecker, who was a general favorite among the roads employes, was for many years a passenger conductor on the Pan Handle, but several months ago was reduced in rank and went into the freight service. Only a few weeks since he accepted the position as baggage master. During the war of the rebellion he was comrade W.H. Kipp’s, the Pan Handle ticket agent of this city. He was about fifty years of age, was married and lived in Columbus. Lee Burris was conducted of the west bound, while Ben Wheeler was in charge of the east bound.

Mrs. Taylor had been a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church for the past eight years. An intelligent, noble minded woman, the pride and guiding star of her husband and a favorite in a large circle of friends. Her death seems indeed untimely. But the Master doeth all things well. The remains were followed on the 9th inst. by a large concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors to the Jefferson church where funeral services were conducted by Revs. J P Davis, of Keene, T. H.D. Harrold, of Roscoe.

  
  Dr. R. McCrudy and Miss Lucy Gilchrist were called here Thursday of last week by the death of Mrs. Taylor.

• Death of Mrs. James Dryer
  The many friends of this estimable lady will be pained to hear of her death, which took place at her home near Mt. Pleasant Iowa. She was recovering from what she and her friends thought was the La grippe, when conditions which seemed to have bailied [sic] the skilled of her physicians, set in and death suddenly ensued. She was the daughter of Mrs. Sample of Coshocton, and was forty-five years of age at the time of her death. Prior to her marriage to Mr. Dryer, which took place in 1882, she taught in the public schools of our city and also of Lima in this state, and was universally recognized as a being a successful and praise worthy teacher. She was an exemplary Christian woman carrying those virtues into her everyday life and enjoying that peace of mind and exhibiting such Christian graces, that all who came into her presence was impressed by her fervent and pious life. For many years she had been a faithful and consistent member of the Presbyterian Church unceasing in her efforts to discharge her duties as such, ever ready with an open heart and willing hand to relieve the suffering of those in need. While bowing to humble submission to the dispensations of Providence, we cannot but mourn the loss of her whose death seems so untimely, and wonder why she, who was capable of doing so much good in the world, should be stricken down in the full vigor and strength of womanhood. The heartfelt sympathies from this community go out to the aged mother of the deceased to whom a long and useful vouchsafed, and to the bereaved husband, who in the death of his faithful wife, has been for the second time called upon to mourn the loss of one to whom he had been faithful until death.
