OBITUARY. William Custer, son of Jobn and Elizabeth Custer, was born in Mercer county. Ohio, August 25, 1843, departed thl« life at the home of his daughter, Mrs. M. P. Aspy at 10:20 o'clock Wednesday evening. December 28, 1921, age 78 years, 5 months, 3 days. He grew to manhood on the farm of his father in Mercer county, Ohio. When war clouds gathered in ’6l he heard his coflntry’s call and enlisted in Co. A, 46th O. V. V. I. at Columbus, O„ and was Immediately transferred to the front and saw four years of active service in the army of the west. He march with Sherman in his famous march to the sea. When Lee surrendered he marched with the army to Washington and passed before the beloved Lincoln in review and was honorably discharged at Louisville, Ky., 1865. Returning to his old home he was united in marriage to Sarah Elizabeth Streete in 1868. T this union was born six children. Mrs. J. W. Watkins, who passed away September 5, 1920; Mrs. Asa McMillen and Mrs. M. F. Aspy of Pleasant Mills; Mrs. W. F. Beery of Decatur; John and Lee Custer of Hicksville, O. Besides these he leaves seventeen grandchildren; fifteen great grandchildren and friends without number. In middle life he heard the call of his Heavenly Father and after the dictates of his military conscience answered; “Jesus, Captain, Here Am I.” He united with the M. E. church and was a pillar of the church during the trying days of its struggle for existence. He worked untiringly for the church and gave freely of his time and money. He was long a trustee of the church and held the trust sacred. He was also for year steward and to many in this community still living. His call in his official capacity was a looked-for pleasure. As he advanced in years, broken in health, he relinquished his tasks to younger hands and quietly and uncomplainingly awaited the sounding of taps, which came last Wednesday evening at 10:20 o’clock. He had repeatedly said during his last illness that only Jesus could help him and that he would soon come. No one doubted his faith. His was a trust sublime and he is today basking in the sunshine of his Father’s love.

I Don’t Stub Your Toe I n » I r? I ONE dark night—so the story goes—a certain monarch I placed a large boulder in the middle of the road. Thousands of his people, thereafter, severely stubbed their toes or troubled to walk around. At length, one lusty y oU th—wiser than the rest—seized the stone and heaved it from his path. And where it had rested, he found a bag of gold. I I Are you stubbing your toe? Are you overlooking any bags of gold? How about the advertising in this paper? Do you read it— consistently?
