BIOGRAPHY —CHARLES McCONNEHEY. The Ljrd calls his laborers into the harvest field, ripe for the garnering. To some '.he day of labor is longer, to others shorter. To all he allots a full period. But the evening cometh, and he cals his workmen and gives to' each their reward. "Well done good end faithful servant, enter thou into ’ the joy of thy Lord." • Rev. Charles McConnehey. son of; 1 William and Maggie McConnehey. was botn Feb. 26. 1876. at Monroe. Adams county, Ind. He died in the blessed hope of eternal life on Wednesday morning, Oct. 16, 1907. at h’s home 1 in Deca ur. Ind., aged 31 years. 7 1 months and 29 drys. The cau-e of his death was di.ibet-s 1 of which malignat disease he suffered ! about a year _..d a half. His call came rather t xpected. He was able • to pursue his duties a part of the' i day previous to he one of his depart- . ure. He wis convert, d at the age of : 15 years in his own home. While i seated in his home with his Bible in ; his hand the peace of God came to 1 his heart and the assurance of his < acceptance was precious to him ever • after. Early in life he was given to’< the contemplation of the solemn and t the serious. While others of his age ■ went to seek amusement and worldly enjoyment on the Lord's day he turned ; his footsteps toward the house of the ; Lord or to employ his time in medita- ( tion and the reading of good books. In the spring of 1893 he entered the . ministry and since then has been in , the active service until his health , failed him about a year ago. He served with acceptance the following fields of labor in the bounds of the Indiana . conference: Noblesville, one year; Al- , umont, one year; Edgerton, one year; Lancaster, three years; Culver, two years, and East Germantown, seven months. Upon the urgent request of his physicians he laid down the work so dear to him. however, in the hope that he soon would be able to take the same up again. The Lord thought otherwise. On April 10. 1900, he was united in marriage to Mollie Dienst. of Louisville. Ky. Three children were born to them: Artie. Charlie and Evange- • line. As a husband and father broth-: er McConnehey was kind and affection- ■, ate. As a minister of the Gospel he was zealous and exerted a wholesome influence upon all with whom he came in contact. It was his earnest desire to use his God given talents to the best of his ability. His preaching was biblical, earnest and attend- I ed with auction. He was patient in bis sickness, resigned to the will of God. He was prepared for the change which awaited him, however, he greatly desired to regain his health and again enter the active service of the ministry. His end was peace. His spirit took its flight to be with the Lord whom having not seen yet he loved. He leaves behind a sorrowing companion. three children, parents, two brothers and many relatives and friends. May the Lord grant a blessed reunion in the world beyond. The funeral was held from the Evangelical church on Friday afternoon. Rev. A. B. Hals*, in charge, who preached an appropriate sermon on the words "Write, blessed are the dead which die In the Lord from henceforth. yet salth the Spirit, that they may rest from their labor and their worts do follow," and paid fitting tribute to the memory of the departed. A. Van Camp spoke Ln behalf of the Sunday school with which the departed was ♦connected from early childhood to the

’ ime that he entered the ministry. Rev. C. D. Rarey. of Huntington. spoke ■ in behalf of the ministers present and 'his own person::! acquaintance with the d ceased. Ministers from neighborning fields served as pallbearers. The body was laid to rest in the Decatur cemetery to await the resurrection call. Reports from Kingsland today are to the effect that the little son of Mr. and Mrs Ted Lidy. injured last Thursday when his grandmother was knled is improving nicely and it seems that j there is no doubt now but that he will recover. The funeral of Mrs. Lidy was held Sunday with services a: the residence and was one of the largest ever conducted in that pan of the I country. The remains were takep today to Clinton county for burial — Bluffton N?ws. Dr. H. E. Keller Is at present busily engaged in constructing a new electric machine which he will use to give trea’ment to patients. Dr. Kel- ( ler made the machine from the floor up and it is a monster being quite powerful in its voltage and being adapted and fitted for practically any kind of electrical treatment one could desire. This makes the second machine of this description the doctor has built I and it certainly goes to show his in- • ventive turn of mind. On tomorrow evening J. B. Stone- i burner will present to the public that highly colored film entitled "A Prodigal Son and his Return" and the "Easter Eggs." These films have: never been shown in this section of t the country and are well worth going miles to see Hereafter Mr. Stoneburner will present a new show every | evening and will thus entertain his patrons in a pleasing manner. The attractions as given by Mr. Stoneburner are the best and he thus shows his appreciation to the public in general. There is a lull today in the insurance war. and it may be that there will be no break of the calm and that the union or trust companies have given up the fight, but it is said that when the five stae agents pulled up stakes Saturday evening they said that they would be back this week. Further developments are awaited i with anxiety by those who are inter- ■’ i ested in the war. If the public re-: mtins with the non-union companies ; js in the past week, however, there is no question as to the final outcome and the trust companies will be whipped in the efforts to force a higher rate into effect. —Bluffton News. o Henry E Jones. of Taaag» Fla, writes: T ean thank Sol for toy present health, fine to Foley* KMaag Oar* I :r*4 fiaoaoes ana all Ida* * kidney sorsb bm nothing ton or b<hA good ta I eoek Fetey s Uh«v Oera.
