Milton Forsyth is Dead "Milton Forsyth died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rufus Bloodsworth, Saturday evening. He was born in Harrison county, Kentucky in 1826 and came to Missouri in 1851, and has made his home in this community for nearly sixty years. During his years of residence in Madison and vicinity, he endeared himself to all by his sincere, beautiful and lovable character, living his life simply and unselfishly. Indeed it may be truly said of him that in all of the relations of life he was a true man. The memory of his godly life will linger throughout time with those who knew him. He was the father of fourteen children, seven of whom with their mother are dead. Funeral services were conducted by Elder E.M. Richmond at the Christian church Sunday morning at eleven o'clock after which the remains were conveyed to the cemetery at Forest Grove and laid to rest beside his loved ones who have gone on before to the better world. He had been a member of the Christian church for many years and until the infirmities of old age overtook him, always took an active part in the work, his services and means being freely given for the upbuilding of his Master's cause. In his death the community loses not only an upright Christian citizen but one whose influence for better things affected the lives and characters of man. The bereaved family have the most sincere sympathy of all in their sorrow." "In writing of the death of Milton Forsyth last week, we inadvertently stated that he died Saturday evening. He died Friday evening at 9:15 and funeral services were held at the Christian church on Sunday morning at 11:00 o'clock."
