-HI j y -a-- (Ja. s' .dak. , ) . 3 n ii new Lieore l,. i. Widerin. aire ' seventy-three, twenty-seven year's pastor of the local St. Mary's church died at his home North Vernon shortly before 9 o'clock Tuesday morning oi nearc trouoie. Jia had been in laved priest. lie was bom in'Louisvilk5, Ky., and early in life his parents moved to New Albany, Ind., where he obtained, his eai-ly education While a student at an ecclesiastical school the civil war started. Abandoning his studies he enlisted and served on the northern side through four years of strife and hardships caused by the rebellion. His further efforts to perfect his education wrere in the Theological Seminary of the Benedictine Fathers at St. Meinrad in Spencer county, Indiana. Jn 1877, he was ordained a priest and since that time his pastorates have comprised several charges. Coming to North- Vernon in 1893, Father Widerin has proved himself a worthy pastor to whom his congregation showed its fidelity and attachment and le was ad'mired, not only by followers of his own church, but non-Catholics as ' well. Under his gttidance. the., parish ; has prospered, the church building was remodeled, a new school building ereeted. Father Widerin suffered excruciating pains during Monday evening and at tiniGS WaS heard to remark'" How Much Longer." The venerable priest apparently realized that he would soon lie called and during his suffering doubtless desired the relief that death would bestoy. IIov,rever, he bore the painful attacks with a grace and fortitude characteristic of a man of God, Shortly before the hour for mass Tuesday morning, Father Rouek, the assistant pastor, visited the sick room, and remarked to Father Widerin that he would offer up the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for his benefit. This caused a spirit of joy to fiil his countenance. He then thanked Father Rouck for the interest displayed in his spiritual and eternal welfare. Throughout the furtier conversation that ensued Father Widerin was calm and his intellect clear and comperhensible and both the pastor and assistant talked ! about the morning worship. It was I just S: i5 when the final summons came and he who was venerated by all sank into a state ot coma, irom wnicn he did not revive. i The funeral services will be held i Monday and the following order of service has been announced: Office of the Dead, 9 o'clock; Solemn pontifical requiem high mass :30 Chartrand, i D. D., bishop of the Indianapolis diocese will be celebrant; assistant, Arch Priest Rev. M. Guthneck, of Madison. Deacons of honor to the bishopj Rev. Chas. Bilger, Madison; Rev. ; Joseph Gordon.

MONDAY

OBfRJAEYIn the passing of Lilly D?unerletti

we have the finished chapter 'in. story of human events. Eulogies and encomiums are" usually associated with king, president and warrior. Too often we place the wreath on the empty title, tho imaginary hero. In the drama of human endeavor, only the few have been great, the stars of destiny. The others have shone with borrowed light and had but a gmali t part in-guiding the mighty currents of human life. Yet, while we stand bowed in the presence of the great and powerful and"look ia awe upon the mighty accomplishments of man, the things that cling to, us. hold us, and.soothe us are found ia the slimple annals of the lowly, in the life of the average man, woman and child. How cheerless the world would be without these heroic souls. They are the sentries out on the borders of our existence and, like the angels, they pucn ineir cents apout its tnat we. may fear no evil. They are with us in our struggles, share our sorrows, bear with us in affliction and are glad when fortune smiles. Their joy comes from making others happy, from ministering to all the common want and despair. They speak the ever precious promises of better days to be. Lilly Dennerlein was one of these. She .knew whom her Master had appointed for His heritage and reward and labored that they rnight be great. She knew that true worship -rested on service. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one "of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." But her labors (-ended. She has passed on. Vvrhat re mains are the gentle memories, the tender recollections, and the benign influences of noble deeds. o - HINCHMAN Harry Hiuchmun, son of William and Almyra ..Hinchman was born near Vernon, January 3rd,. 1877, he departed from this life at 1:15 P. M.'on January 2Ath, 1D20 at the age'of 43 years, and 2G days. More than a year ago he was stricken with paralysis which he. bore very patiently. Left tojnourn his death besides his mother, is one sister .:rs Archla Wilson and many relatives and friends. He was p acedod In death by hi3 father and sister Slnah.
