Falmouth Outlook Friday 10 Jun 1921 Vol. 15 No. I Pg. 8 Col. I Kelat Items Mrs. Chas. L. Hemy, of Phoenix, AZ, is here enjoying the beauties of Kentucky and visiting her husbandÃìs parents at the same time. Rev. Jesse Criswell, of Florida, is here spending his vacation with his parents. Jesse is one of the Kelat boys that everybody is proud of ’ÄîheÃìs one of the able preacher of the country and his father and mother are justly proud of him. The pen is seldom called into use to chronicle a death more shocking and appalling in it character than that which occurred Wednesday May 25th, 1921, about the middle of the afternoon, near our little village. Never did news travel so fast over the community and county as did the brief and melancholy tiding that told in a flash the awfulness and sad ending of Goebel Hedges, coming to his death by the accidental discard of a shotgun while ’Äúcrow hunting.’Äù The message spread like wildfire over the entire neighborhood as it by magic, neighbors, and friends coming in from all points shocked, pained and grieved as only a people can be grieved when the sudden taking away from their midst of a noble useful boy, such as was Goebel Hedges. Yes, death has been among us, and the places that knew Goebel shall know him no more. His death was so sudden, terrible and unexpected as to be a tragedy, and the grief of father and mother, two sisters and brother, so tumultuous as to be almost heart bursting. That form which we beheld by a few days since now lies in the silent tomb. His spirit mingles with the noble army of the just’Äîin his death. In all the large sanctuary of sorrow there is no chamber more sweetly shadowed than that in which this dear boy reposes, embalmed in the double odors of parental affection and public love. Goebel throughout his young life was frank, open and amiable and good for goodÃìs sake. As a man he had, of course, his faults, all springing from one root and terminating in none apex, ultimately softening into a repentant sorrow that was crowned with a pardon by those who knew him. When considering him along with others of his age, we feel that the analogy of the sun setting would be apropos: for instance, we have seen this orb trembling at the gates of the west, reluctantly disappearing behind the horizon, but we knew it was to again appear and take its app9ointe place in the firmament. So it is with Goebel. He is gone to rise again at the call of Him who breathed life into his body. William Goebel Hedges was born Nov. 22nd, 1891, and died May 25th, 1921. The remains were buried in the little cemetery at Beaver Baptist, this county, Friday May 27th, 1921 at 2:30 p.m. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Allen Gibson, assisted by Rev. W. B. Garriott. The church was filled to overflowing. Goebel had hosts of friends, as did his parents. To show reverence and deep friendship, the entire audience arose to its feet as the remains of the dear boy was brought into the church. Although dead, Goebel yet speaketh ’Äî his memory will remain green and sacred. His loss to us is his great and everlasting gain. And now that we have lost him let us be so much more helpful one to another, especially in the things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven. May the sun that ushers in the morn rest with its soft and mellow light upon the consecrated spot beneath whose turf forever lies all that was mortal of one of nature's noblemen, Goebel Hedges.
