Pike County Democrat, Volume 30, Number 30, Petersburg, Pike County, 1 December 1899 — Page 5

Obituary. Isaac Loveless departed this life November 23, 1899. The precise date of his birth cannot now be ascertained, but from the best information we can obtain, he was born in the state of North Carolina in the month of June, 1799, consequently was, at the time of his death, about one hundred years and five months old. He came to Indiana in about the year 1816, and settled in Pike county, where he continued to reside until helfted. In politics he was an old whig, but after the death of that party he yoted the republican ticket. He was twice married but outlived both his wives. ^ He leaves as his survivors, two daughters, one son and many friends. He was industrious and thereby at one time was considered in good circumstances, but in consequence of old age and failure of strength he died in limited circumstances. We do not presume to say that Mr. Loveless ever did anything great to distinguish himself, but we can truly say some things of him that cannot be said of m^ny. He never at any time during life sued any person, neither was he ever sued. He never was before a grand jury to indict one of his neighbors and was never returned delinquent, but always paid his taxes, and was never sworn in any court as a witness. We might mention many other things peculiar to him, but enough has been given tb show clearly that he was a good, quiet and peaceable citizen during his long and eventful life. He never was identified with any ^hurch in this part of the country, but he at one time informed the writer that his parents were Lutherans, and that they had him baptised when an infant,and that event he always held ip grateful remembrance.

were of that class that injured no one but himself, therefore let then* be buried with his remains, and let us all hope that lie Is in a better world. He was well aware of the near approach of his dissolution, and frequently spoke of It. Said that he did not dread after death but he dreaded the sting of it, and requested that his favorite song be sung, viz: “We Are Going Home to Die No More.” He also requested that, the writer of this sketch preach his funeral, which request was complied with at Bethel church, and was largely attended by his friends and neighbors; at the close of which the remains of the old gentleman were laid to rest in the Loveless cemetery near by, to await the time when “All that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth, they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” John 5, 28, 29. The writer has preached about five hundred funerals, but Mr. Loveless was the oldest person whose funeral we ever attended. J. W. Richardson. A Night of Terror. “Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burnham of Machias, Maine, when the doctors said she could not live till morning,” writes Mrs. S. Hs Lincoln, who attended her that fearful night. “All thought that she must soon die from pneumonia, but she begged for Dr. Kiug’s New Discovery, saying it had more than once saved herwdife, and had cured her of consumption. After three small doses she slept easily all night, and its further -use completely cured her.” This marvelous medicine is guaranteed to cure all throat,Chest and lung diseases. Only 50c and $1.00. Trial bottles free at Stearnes & Co’s, drug store. Ingsrsoll’s Last Letter. “I think the treatment of the Filipinos wrong, foolish. I do not want the Filipinos unless they want us. I believe in expansion if it is honest. I want Cuba if the Cubans want us. At the same time I think our forces should be immediately withdrawn from Cuba and the people of that island allowed to govern themselves. We waged war against Spain for liberty and for right and w'e must wear tht: laurels unstained.”—R. G. Ingersoll to Editor Chester Claim, July 20,1899, the day before he died. Consumption Cure.

Obituary. Died, Mary A. Beck, wife of Lewis Beck, sr., aged 68 years, 7 months and 17 days. She was a daughter of Nixon' Lamb and wife, was first*married to Andrew J. McGillum, on the 12th day! of December, 1848, and to Lewis Beck,! on the 3rd day of December, 1865. She united with the Regular Baptist; church about forty years ago; in all these forty years she was a most steadfast, consistent and orderly member, sound in the faith and exemplary j in her deportment. Our departed sister was much esteemed by t|ie church as a mother in Israel, and her loss to the church and neighborhood is very great. She leaves to mourn her departure, three sisters, two daughters, two step-sons and her aged and sorely bereaved husband with whom she lived in peace aod harmony for 34 years. The funeral services were conducted at the family residence by the writer and this was done at her request, at the close of which her body was laid to rest with her people in the McGillum cemetery, in the presence of a large and solemn audience, to await that hour when all who are in their graves shall come forth.

As a rule it is not j because farmers are selfish that they , have posted their farms against | hunters, but it is because of the reck- j lessness of the hunters themselves.
