IN MEMORIAM
Died at her home in our city, Leona Schultz, 13 year old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Gus Schultz. Her future was full of promise and we dare not ask
why she was taken from us in her prime unless as flowers are picked
before the frost finds them, that way we may not witness their decay. It
is sad indeed to see one so well equipped for life taken so
unexpectedly, yet for her there was no standing on the border land
gazing into the unknown for death came as the sunset dies along the
hills when the day is over. A life that imparts such lessons is well
worth living. A chair at the table is vacant a place in the Sunday
school is left to be filled but the work of workmen will go on and on.
We extend our sympathy and bow humbly to the will of God. On Saturday
April 19, 1915, she fell asleep and on Tuesday she was buried in our
silent city. Rev. Marth, her much beloved pastor, officiated and paid a
fitting tribute to her memory. She lived a consecrated Christian life
and died a triumphant death. She was in her happy teens the time when
youth stands waiting before the half open door that leads into a fairer
and more promising land of dreams and flowers.

A HAPPY FAMILY REUNION
Mr. and Mrs. P.W. Snowden returned last Friday evening from Chillicothe,
Missouri, where they have been visiting the past two weeks and while
there attended a family reunion in which Mr. Snowden and his sister, Ms.
Ed. Y Price, met for the first time after a separation of 47 years. To
say that it was a reunion would be putting it mild, as Mr. Snowden feels
that it was the beginning of a new life after being separated from a
blood kin for nearly a half century. The following piece was taken from
Chillicothe Tribune and describes in detail. "There was an unusually
happy family reunion Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Y. Price. The
guests present were Mrs. Price's mother, Mrs. Harriet Anderson, who has
arrived from Washington to make her home in Chillicothe, Mrs. Price's
uncle Peter Snowden and wife of Hinton, Iowa, whom she had not seen for
nearly 50 years; a sister Mrs. Francis Wilson of Washington, Ind., and a
brother John Wickham and wife of Wichita, Kansas.
