Il Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Il/CrawfordObits/145 Surname: Hadley, Pickett, Voorheis, Rexford ------------------------- Note: I have no connection to this family. I'm just posting an Obit that was sent to me by Barbara Dix who is transcribing old news articles for the website. David Hadley Died Rev. David Hadley died in his home in Danville Ind. Jan. 21st. Rev. Hadley was one of the foremost men in the Friends' Church and has preached at the Friends' Church in our vicinity at different time for several years. During the past year he preached the funeral of Mrs. Catherine Pickett and H. A. Voorheis in our vicinity and his able sermons and Godly life will be missed among all his friends and the church which he so ably represented. SUNSHINE  AND  SHADOW.      Some pathways through a shadow run,      Shut out by clouds from Heaven's warm sun.      While some on sunny hilltops lie,      Close to the gladness of the sky.      Ah, some in shadow, some in sun!      So has it been since time begun.      Some always have to bear a load      Of care along a dreary road.      From which, on sunny heights, they see      Those for whose backs no burdens be,      So shall it always be while life      Holds fast to happiness and strife.      But sometime shall a pathway run      Out of the shadow into the sun,      And valley plodders turn and climb      To sunny heights, in God's good time.      Ah, sometime, somewhere, soon or late      So, heart of mine, in patience wait!      So come to us whatever may,      Believe God is not far away,      And lift your eyes toward the light      That burns, a beacon, on the height.      By souls who strive the heights are won      The shadow leads into the sun!                                                             Author: Eben E.
