Surnames: Helms Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gh.2ADI/5497.1 Message Board Post: The Warren Republican, Thursday, August 1, 1901 Obituary. Homer E. Helms, son of Wm. H. and E.A. Helms, was born Sept. 10, 1882. He was never a very stout, rugged boy, yet was full of ambition, and longed for an education. He worked hard what time he was able to pursue his studies, and proved himself a student whose example is worthy of emulation. He was a lover of books, music and flowers, took great interest in research, and had his life been spared and health good, he would have made his mark in the world. He was affable and kind, well beloved by those who knew him best. Notwithstanding his many talents, the Lord has seen fit to take him, and he departed this life July 17, 1901, aged 18 yrs., 10 mos. and 18 days. He leaves a father, mother and three brothers, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

He was a devoted companion and an affectionate father. He gave positive testimony of his preparation for death.

Surnames: Dalrymple, Bays Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gh.2ADI/5553 Message Board Post: The Warren News, Friday, April 4, 1890 Sudden Death. Bly, Ind., March 28, 1890 The citizens of this vicinity were surprised and thrown into much excitement last Wednesday morning, the 26th inst., on account of the sudden death of Rachel R., wife of Charles Dalrymple, and daughter of Harrison and Jane Bays. This young couple had been married just two months when death separated them. They had not gone to house-keeping yet, but were living with Henry Dalrymple, Charley's father. On the day of her death Charley, Henry Dalrymple and wife went to Peter Frantz's barn-raising, about three-fourths of a mile away. At noon Charley went home and found his wife enjoying herself playing a French harp, apparently in good health, and ate a hearty dinner. Afterwards Charley said he would go to his ditching on the farm and she accompanied him as far as the barn to look after some matters there. She then remarked that she was not feeling well. He expressed the hope that she would soon feel better; if not to notify him and he would come to the house. But before h! e reached his work he was summoned to the house by the ringing of the bell and found his wife very sick and helpless. The parents were notified and Dr. Garrett, of Liberty Centre, sent for immediately. The parents arrived a few moments before she expired, but before the Doctor could arrive death had done its work and her spirit had taken its flight to the spirit world. It was only about half an hour from the time she complained till she was dead. Death is supposed to have been caused by rupture of the heart. Funeral services were held in the church at his place on Thursday at 2 oo'clock p.m., conducted by Elder Johnson, of Liberty Centre, in the presence of a large and sympathetic audience, after which the remains were interred in the Mossburg cemetery. Mrs. Dalrymple leaves a young husband, a father and mother, three brothers and three sisters, besides a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. James T. Mossburg.
