DICKINSON, Hazel Myrtle
Gone to Rest
On the morning of March 28, 1911, there passed from this life, at the
parental home of her husband in
For many weary months this dear one had battled against the ravages of
the “Great White Plague.” And if courage
and fortitude could have possibly won in the warfare, the victory would have
been hers.
But alas? For that relentless
enemy, there is no defeat, so after days of heroic struggling this young life
was forced to surrender.
It is hard to understand why Death laid its icy hand upon this fair brow,
ere time had dimmed the laughing, lustrous eye; ere winter’s frosts and chill
had withered raven locks.
In the midst of noble plans for future usefulness and happiness Hazel was
called from earth.
Full of the joy of living, with the desire on her lips to live and lover
for others, she was cut down by the grim reaper.
But this young life was not in vain; indeed, it has been a revelation, in
many ways to those who knew her.
When we remember how in spite of pain and suffering she would smile and
answer so cheerily all inquiries regarding her health, in order that the young
husband might not be discouraged; how bravely and patiently she endured
all: we would be ashamed ever again to
allow the petty trials and difficulties of life make us falter and despair.
Only a few months ago she endured the fatigue of a long journey back to
the state where she was born; to
It was her request after her return home that her parents should not be
notified if the worst came, she preferring that they should remember as they
last saw her in life; that they might not be compelled to hold her in Death’s
cold embrace.
She was married to James Dickinson in
To him she was a true companion, a tender, loving wife, always
considerate and deeply interested in the welfare of those dear to her.
Throughout her illness she was tenderly cared for by loved ones who made
every needed sacrifice for her comfort, that this young life which began so
nobly here may be finished and perfected sometime, somewhere beyond the tomb is
the hope of the friends and loved ones.
After a short funeral service at the house on the afternoon of March 30th,

DOWNING, William (Willie)
Wm. DOWING DROWNED
Sad End Of A Promising Young Man
Monday evening Willie Downing, aged 13, son of John Downing, and Willie
Barrett, went out walking. Their steps led
them to the pond which supplies water for the boiler at the coal mine, just
west of town. About four o’clock, they
concluded to take a swim in the pond.
Young Downing was first to take a plunge, while the Barrett boy was
undressed and almost ready. When the
Downing boy got about fifteen feet from the bank, he lost his footing and went
under. He rose struggling and went down
again. The Barrett boy became frightened
and hastily dressing, he ran to the home of Wm. McCandless,
which was near. Finding no man there,
the boy ran to town and told constable Parker that “Willie Downing was drowned
in the coal mine pond.” Parker told the
news to other men there, and together they ran to the scene of the accident. Homer Howe, a miner, was the first one to reach
the pond, and he and Gene Frisbie at once slipped off
their shoes and removed their watches, and went in the water in search of the
body. Mr. Howe found him and getting
hold of a foot, towed him ashore. Parker
and Ira Herriman assisted by the rest who were there,
worked with the corpse, trying to resuscitate him, but to no avail. He had been in the water over a half
hour. The men got all the water off his
lungs, and did every thing that is known induce respiration, but he had been
dead too long.

brother, of the boy, left last week for the

GOLDEN, Joseph D.
In Memorium
Joseph D. Golden, well known in this section of the country as an honorable and upright citizen, business man and friend, died at his home in Bucklin Friday, November 6, 1914, aged 58 years, 10 months and 22 days. He was taken sick last April with lung trouble and about the first of May gave up business; and since then, despite the skill of the best physicians he gradually grew worse till death released him from his suffering.
Mr. Golden was born in
To Mr. and Mrs. Golden were
born seven children, six of whom live to mourn the loss of their beloved
father. Five of the children live in
Besides the bereaved wife and
children there are two brothers and two sisters living; John Golden of
The evening that he died Mr. Golden had been out riding with Mr. Poley Carter in his automobile and with his wife had called on his sister Mrs. Dean, and Mr. VanOsdal, and on returning home was stricken with hemorrhage of the lungs and did not live more than an hour. But death did not find his victim unprepared. Last June through the influence of H. C. Hurley, Mr. Golden was led to accept Christ as his Savior and was baptized and received into the church. His conversion brought him that sweet peace which always comes from a living faith in the blessed Son of God. He was reconciled to the will of God, and spoke of how much better it would be for him to depart and be at rest. Yet he was not unmindful of the loved one and spoke of how delightful it would be to live now that he had accepted Jesus as his Savior. He had sweet communion with God. One morning after spending a night in the open he told his wife he did not sleep much but spent the night looking at the stars, and praying to God who had been so good to him. He loved the song “When the roll is called up Yonder,” and the old camp meeting song, “I have some friends in glory,” and sang these songs just a few days before his death.
We are taught to “account that the long suffering of God is salvation.” 2 Peter 3:15. We do so account and believe that God’s long suffering was rewarded by the return of his prodigal child to the Father’s heart and home.
Mr. Golden was of a sunny
disposition, and had many manly traits in his character. He was cheerful even in his sickness, and
thoughtful of the comfort of those about him.
He had a wide circle of friends.
This was evidenced by the large congregation who on Tuesday evening Nov.
10 paused in the busy walks of life to shed the tear of sympathy with the
bereaved wife, children and loved ones, and pay a tribute of respect to the man
they had known and loved. There were
many beautiful wreathes that testified of the tribute of loving hearts. The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. H.
C. Bolen of
It was by special request of Mr. Golden that Rev. H. C. Bolen was called to preach the funeral and he requested that he should thank the people who had been so kind to him in his sickness.
The burial was in the Masonic
Obituaries are not intended to commemorate the private affections of surviving friends, but to chronicle the virtues of the departed that they being dead may still speak for God and goodness. The message for us all in the death of Joseph Golden the message that he doubtless would bring could he speak to us from the unseen world would be, and is; “Prepare to meet thy God.”

young man was sick with the measles, and it is believed that the fever effected
his brain causing him to become temporarily insane. At bed time Sunday evening, he complained
that his head was hurting him severely, but as he had not had a severe case of
the measles, little attention was paid to the matter. He left the house apparently about two
o’clock in the morning and going to the barn obtained a halter, and then went
to a large tree near by and hung himself.

I see my way as birds see their trackless way.
