IN MEMORY OF A FRIEND
John Craig Ashford was born at
the SuttodP Homestead, near Green
bank, W. Va, March 31, 1871. Died
at the C. & O. Hospital, Clinton
Forge, v a . } January 23, 1924, and
was laid to rest in the Arbovale
Cemetery on January 26bh.
In the death of Craig Ashford,
Pocahontas Co., has lost one of her
most loyal citizens, and many of her
people, a noble hearted and true
friend.
Beginning in early manhood with
no means to sp.ik of, by untiring
energy and industry, he succeed well
in life, providing well for his house-
hold and acquiring considerable
property in the meantime.
Upright and honest, kind and
liberal hearted, he was always ready
to lend a helping hand to those in
need.
Always looking on the bright side
of life, with his genial smile and
cheey disposition, he won friends
wherever he went or was known.
Though full of life and fun from
his earliest childhood, he always
stood up for the right. A jolly and
generous playmate, a noble hearted
and true friend always.
Though never having joined any
denomination, he was always ready
to aid any good cause, and in his
kind and generous way, lived a better
and nobler life than many in the
pales of the church. Cut down in
the prime of life when he had much
to live for. He met his fate (as he
had always lived) uncomplaining and
unafraid.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife,
two children, his aged parents, one
biother and sister, and a host of rela-
tives and friends, who will ever miss
his cheery smile and hearty greeting
till we meet him in the Great beyond
where partings will be no more.
Oh how sad it was from him to part
The one with such a true and noble I in bis home, but in the commuL
hfcaii;.
The one with the laughing eyes so jity in which he Ji red, and wil
: dear,
The one with the voice so full of
cheer.
Oh how wa hated to see him go,
To see the laughing eyes grow dim.
To feel the pangs of lifes' bitterest H , 1939, aged 58 years, 2 months and
woe,
No more on earth to be with him.
But wo see a vision across the way
Of the sunlit shores of Eternal Diy, was made in the Walkup Cemetery.
And with the throngs that have Mrs Adkins will be greatly missed by
gathered there,
The one that has gone, whom we
loved so dear.
We leave this world, we cross the
tide,
An Angel comes swiftly to our side,
We hear the voice, so familiar of yore
saying, "Loved ones this Heaved, we
part no more.''

 PBELL
Mrs Bess Moore Campbell, wife of
B. B. Campbell, died Jan. 27, 1932,
after a lingering illness of many
months.
Mrs. Campbell was the daughter of
the late Hon. L B . Moore and Mrs.
Kate Curry Moore of Knapps Creek.
When a girl she gave her heart to
God and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church, South and remained
faithful until her death.
She had been in failing health for
sometime and had been confined to
her bed since Christmas. She was a
patient sufferer during her long ill-
ness and everything that medical
skill, kind hearts and loving hands
could do was dene for her comfort;
but God knew best and it was His
will to take her from this world of
suffering to a land of peace and rest.
Her happy disposition was an in-
spiration to all who knew her. She
never complained, was patient in her
suffering, and always greeted you
with a smile. So brave and happy
was she, that invariably . her answer
was, "Oh, I am all right," no matter
when asked how she was feeling. We
miss her, but we know she is now

Miss Ethel Rebecca Dean, depart-
ed this life Monday, at about 10
o'clock in the evening, July 20, 1925,
after an illness of more than 2 years
which was caused by a severe attack
ntiuenza. She was a daughter of
VTr. and Mrs. Isaac P. Daan of
• 'ochran CreeK. She was born No-
.-•aber 8, 1901. making her 23 years
8 months and 12 days of age.
Ethel had lived a faithful member
of the Methodist Protestant Church
for about 5 years having made a pro-
fession of Christ at an evangelistic
Baptist Church by RPV. R J. Ander-
son. She was very obedient to the
requirements of the Church. She
was A Arm believer in prayer, and
would always pray in Church when
called upon. There were prayers
made with hsr during her sickness,
and they.were much loved by her, and
she often spoke of her regret that she
was not able to go to church.
About the last of the voice of
Ethel was heard in prayer to the O.ie
left to mourn their loss, her father,
mother, 4 brothers, 2 sisters aud
many other friends. The funer*!
service was conducted in the May
Chapel M. P. Church of Anthony
Creek, by Rev. M. B. King who
preached a beautiful soul inspiring
sermon, after which the service was
concluded at the church graveyard,
where her body was laid to re?t.
More can be said of E he! which
will be known to be tru ;, and it i5
well, to be said that it may ins
others to live as she did. Honesty
was Ihe foremost feature of her life.
The writer was acquainted with her
from the 13th year cf her life, a:id Is
deeply impressed with the high j
character she possessed. Her presence
is sadly missed in tb.3 home she left, i
and it seems strange that one so good '
and so pure would be taken H
when so young, but God knows best.
The least that may be said is
she is at rest, and some stfil voice !
seems to tell that she is iiviag more
than ever befoie

I am home in heaven, dear ones;
All's so happy, all's so bright!
There's perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the Valley of the Shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade!
And He came Himself to meet me
On the way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you
So you must not idle stand,
Do your work while life remaineth
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of the meeting!
Oh, the joy to see you come!

WALTER A. FOX
The news of the death of Walter
Alexander Fox came to the eommu
nitv of Mountain Grove, B»th county
Virginia, on Decemcer 23, 1925, at
p. m , like a thunderbolt from a
clear sky. Mr. Fox was injured Feb-
ruary 19, 1925, while working in the
woods. While felling a tree a limb
broke off and Dew back striking his
left arm, breaking it. This arm had
caused him much trouble, ha ring it
broke over and reset some three or
four times. He had not been able
to do a da^y's work since the accident ]
and it is generally thought that his ,
death was due to couditlons resulting
from this injury.
Mr. Fox was born May 29, 1881:1
died Dec. 23, 1925, and was buried j
on Christmas day at 11 o'clock a. m.
His age was 44 years, six nonths
and 22 days.
Mr, Fox leaves to mourn his de-
parture his aged father Wi):te;a Fox
(who resides with the family), a de-
voted wife and five children, Emmi,
Nannie, Arthur, Raymond and Ver-
non. Mrs. Fox's maiden name was
Rider
Tliis death was the occasion for
much sadness in the neighborhood,
as the community was preparing to
have an entertainment and Xmas
tree for the Sunday school in the
Methodist church, Of which he and
his family were members, and were
to have a rehearsal meeting that
evening. Mr. Fox was preparing to
take some children to practice, and
ran his car aut to a nearby creek to
fill the radiator. He stayed longer I
than usual and Mrs. Fox became un '
easy and made mention of the fact,
and the father went to Investigate
and found him dead in the car at the
creek where he had stopped, but had
not gotten out of the car.
The last work Mr. Fox did at home
was to get and place a tree in the
parlor for the children. I t was only
partly trlmmad. But alas! in a few
hours his lifeless form was* placed
before th3 tree and the anticipated
joy of the family and neighborhood
was turned into sorrow.
Mr. Fox had been a member of the
Methodist Church, South, for about!
twenty-four years, and was always
devoted to the interests of his church
and assisted to the best of his ability.
The Christmas program was can-
celled In respect to the family and a
spirit of sympathy for them was
deeply manifested. The attendance
at the funeral was very large and
showed a very loving and neighbor-
ly spirit.
The church looses a faithful and
loyal member, and the community a
?ood citizen, but words ^ s m o t ex
press the loss to the family. Our
hearts melt in sympathy for them,
although they do not mourn or sor-
row as those haying no hope, that in
some near future the same hand that
lead a dear husband and father out
of the home, will come and lead the
other members of the family to a
brighter better land where husband
and father has gone to await their

house, daughter of Harvey and Nan
ey Cassell Hevener, was born near
Hosterman, West Virginia, April 2,
1874, and died December 13, 1937,
| age 63 years. 8 months and 11 days.
Her mother passed on. while she
was but a young girl thirteen years
of age. Her father died 23 years ago.
Having given her life to the Savior
many years ago, she continued f.o
love her church and serve it; her se-
lected church being the Church of the
Brethern.
On March 24, 1897 she was mar-
ried to William C. Greathouse, of
Highland county, Virginia. This
couple spent their entire life in Poea
hontas county: To this union five
sjns and five daughters were born.
Freddie died in infancy. Those sur-
viving are Mrs. A. B Sheets and Mrs
W O. Rose, of Durbin; Mrs O. N.

r.o": Vanburen Hevener, of Tell City,
Indiana and Adam Hevener, of Dur-
t>ij. One brother. Samuel, died four
years ago. Fifteen grandchildren
and many relatives and friends feel
their great loss.
Many friends, pastors and church
workers found a welcome in her
home. Mother was an active worker
in the Primary Department of the
church as long as she was abla. She
t,ooa great interest in the work of the
Hevener Aid Society of which she
was a member. She always took us
'to church while we were Liny, b ;ev
ing that children should be quiet in
church as well as elsewhere. Always
setting good examples for us to fol-
low wherever she was.
Mother was devoted to her hirae,
her family, her flowers and hand work
by which her activeness was express-
ed. Not until the last two weeks of
her life did she give up to inactivity.
Although Mother vvii not Strong
for several months, no one realized
she was so near the end. until she
told us she couldn't live much longer
but was ready to die, and as she call
ed each member of the family to her
bedside, she said, 'Prepare to meet
your God, so when you come to an
hour like this you too will be ready
to come, so our family circle will be
unbroken in Heaven.' On n a n o m -
ber 10 she suffered a paralytic stroke,
and never again spoke.
No words can tell how we miss
Mother; she was so kind and consid-
erate; so helpful to all. We cannot
realize that she is dead--but just
away. All was done that loving
i,hands could do, but God's will be
done,
Her runeral service was conducted
I by her pastor, Rev. I. J. Garber, as-
sisted by Rev. G. D. Naylor. The
| service was beautifully centered a-
round a favorite Scripture; John ; !
The Durbin choir sang two requesied
numbers "Gone Before" and "We are
3oing Down the Valley." A lan'j
group of sad relatives and friends
testified to the lo/e and esteem with
which she was held. Interment was
made in the Bethel Cemetery.

Like his father, Mr. Hevener was a i

handed. He was public spirited to a
remarl: Able degrae, and any move-
ment toward the betterment of

Mr. Peter Hill, one of the pioneer
citizens of Jacox, Pocahontas Co., W.
Va., reached the end of his long
earthly life at 9:30 a. m. Sunday,
February 10th, 1924. at the home of
his son, George Hill, at Hillsboro, |W\
Va., from feebleness and infirmities
incident to old age. Mr. Hill 1,/sd
been in a feeble condition for some
time, but recently suffered a stroke\of
paralysis and never recovered frota
same but gradually became weaker
until the feeble cord of life could no
longer hold him here and it snapped,
and he departed from this earthly
life to enter into life eternal.
Mr. Hill was born February 12th.
1837, at the home now occupied by
George Hill, of Lobelia, W. Va , and
a few years later his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Abram Hill exchanged this
home property with George Hill, and
moved to the old Hill homestead
which has in recent years been sold
and divided and what was once such
a fine property is now the property of
several different persons Jesse Ander-
son having built a modern home near
where the subject of this sketch with
several brothers and one sister were
reared and trained for lives of useful-
ness and where for years the many
pioneer traveling Methodist ministers
of the gospel were entertained.
On April I I , 1867, Mr. Hill was
united in marriage to Miss Margaret
J., daughter of Ebenezer and Sallie
McMillion Whiting, and they spent
almost 56 years of wedded life to-
gether, Mrs. Hill dying March 16,
1023. To this union five boys and
three daughters we're born, Two
sons preceded their parents to the
grave, Dr, Ernest B\ of Marlinton,
and Sherman, of California, the
following are the children left to
mo'.irn their fathers d a t h : J. Wilson,
of Jacox; George P.. of ffillsboro,
*** Simon, of Eegent, N . Dakota;
Lena Hanna, of Spring Creek;
Tary Morrison, of Renick; »nd
After his marriage Mr l i l l i. zed
for a few months u-n t h t '<-TW. DOW
owned b * Newton Clutter, Lobelia,
and from thence removed ' his home
where thu remaining yea. of his
were spent. Since the death of his
wife and a very short time before 1 er
death he made his home with his son,
J. Wilson out near the middle of last
August he went to visit his daughters
spending some time with each and
from them he went to his son. George
at Hillsboro and was only there a few
days until he was stricken by the
hand of disease, although he recover-
ed his strength to a certain degree he
never regained strength to be able to
return to his old home.
Mr. Hill during his active years
was an energetic, useful business
man and built up home and farm and
accumulated quite a wealthy property
being stockholder in some of his
county banks, also having shares in
the Telephone Co , and interested in
the business of his county.
He was postmaster at Jacox. from
the time the postofflce was establish-
ed until late in the year of 1912,
when the marriage of his daughter,
Anna and his 'ailing eyesight com
pelled him to resign from t h a t oo-
sition. .
fessed his faith iu Christ at a camp
meeting held near Mill point, and
united with the Methodist church
and for nearly 70 years remained a
member. We trust t h a t he has
changed his membership to the
church triumphant of God.
Besides his children and grand
children he leaves two aged brothers,
D. C, Hill, of Jacox, who is in his
83rd year and William, of New Lon-
don, Iowa; and a wide circle of rela-
tives scattered to the far points of
the TJ. S.
On Tuesday Feb. 12, which would
been his 87th. birthday his remains
were brought to his home church and j
funeral services were conducted by j
Rev. Pope, and from thence to the i

Mr. Holeaapple was an excellent
young man. He served his country
in the late world war and belonged to

His troubled nights are passed,
And in our aching hearts we kno v
He has found sweet rest a last.
'Tis sweet to k; ow we will meet

Where parting is no more,
And our dear husband and Dad
we loved so well,
Has only gone before.
God knows how mnch we miss him
i He counts the tears we shed,
And whispers, "Hush he only
sleeps,
Your dear one is not dead."
Some day, some time, our eyes
shall see,
I The face we \o\ ed so we'',
|Some day, some time, lis hand

And never say /arewell.
