    3. Hi Randy, A later obit in the same paper gives some more detailed information on her and her birthplace. Kriebel and Cribble were interchanged often in the old records, but you probably already know that <g>. Thanks much for posting your obits. I hope this additional one helps, too. !OBITUARY: "McArthur Democrat Enquirer"; Vinton County, Ohio; published Wednesday, July 18, 1923. Information from Obituary: "Arabella, daughter of David and Mary WOMELDORF CRIBBLE was born at Butler County, Pennsylvania, Feb 1, 1851, and departed this life July 7, 1923, aged 72 years, 5 months, 6 days. She was united in marriage to John EBERTS December 23, 1866, and to this union were born fifteen children: ten sons and five daughters. Two sons and three daughters have preceded her in death. She gave her heart to Jesus and united with the United Brethern [sic] Church several years ago and followed in the Masters footsteps till death. She will be sadly missed by her many friends and children whom she so faithfully cared for. She leaves to mourn their loss eight sons and two daughters, forty-five grandchildren, and thirteen great grandchildren, besides other relatives and friends. MOTHER Mother is the dearest word, The ear has ever heard The saddest hour of the heart Is when with mother we must part. A mother's love we never forget, Her voice we hear it yet. You fell asleep dear mother, With a smile upon your face And the light upon your forehead shows you had found a fairer place. It is hard to give you up dear mother! But we feel you are at rest, We know God loved you and his will is for the best." -----Original Message----- From: Randy Sue McKeever [mailto:nan1880@hotmail.com] Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2005 3:16 PM To: OHVINTON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHVINTON-L] KREIBEL EBERTS obit SOURCE: McArthur Democrat Enquirer July 11, 1923 Vinton County Newspaper "Mrs Arabella Eberts" "Mrs. Arabella Eberts, age 72 died at the home of her son Harry Eberts at Tarr Farm last Saturday night.

She was the seventh child in a family of eight children and leaves to mourn her losss her aged parents Ezra Q and Susan M Timmms; four brothers and three sisters, and a devoted husband, her death being the first break in the family circle in more than 50 years. She spent her childhood days on the farm playing among the flowers and trees, God's own playground, which she so dearly loved in later years. She was educated in the public schools of her own county and entered her high school work under the principal who afterward became her husband. Completing her high school course she entered a sucesful career as a teacher, which she supplemented with a commercial course in the Mountain State Business College at Parkersburg, West Virginia, after which she became associated with the Central Newspaper Association in Cinncinnati Ohio as a bookkeeper. This position she held at the time of her marriage to Milton S Cos of Los Angeles California, which occurd on April 24, 1913 at the Central Christian Church in her home city. After becoming a resident of Los Angeles, she transferred her membership from Bethel Christian Church at her old home to Broadway Christian church, where she was active member in church and Sunday school wrok until ill health compelled her to resign from active service. A very beautiful and impressive service was held at Vesper's Undertakering Parlors at 1938 East First Street on June 19, under the auspices of the Broadway Church , her pastor Charles F Hutsler, delivered and eloquent address and paid a beautiful tribute to her home life, and splendid Christian character, pointing out in his logical way the relationship, the security, the guidance and the joy of being with and having Christ as one's Good Shepherd and assuring the bereaved husband in the words of Christ, " I will not leave you desolate" after which he recited an original poem of consolation: "And some time when my day is ended And the duties He gave me are done I shall watch at Life's western windows The gleam of the setting sun. I shall fall asleep in the twilight, As I have never dreamed before, To dream of this beautiful city Till I waken to sleep no more: There will fall on my restless spirit A love, oh so wondrously sweet, And I shall cross over the river My loved one in Heaven to meet." Following this touching ceremony the remains were removed from under a wealth of floral offerings to Evergreen Cemetery."

Timms of Dundas, 11th West Virginia Infantry, Civil War was a pleasant caller in our office Monday. Mr. Timms still has a remarkable accurate memory of events which he came in contact during "The Great Unpleasantness". He thinks that he and John Franklin of McArthur, late of Co. F. 36th Ohio Inf. are the only Vinton County soldiers now living who were present at the surrender of LEe and his army at Appomattox, Virginia in April 1865. He says the Confederate soldiers appeared to be rejoiced that the war was over. At the surrender, they got a good feed from the Union soldiers. The "rebs" were so hungry and exhausted that they could not walk 50 yards without sitting down. There were men of all ages among them from 15 to 60 years old. They were without either money or provisions, and how they ever got to their distant homes has always remained a myster to Sergeant Timms. He and Mr. Franklin were both present at the famous battle of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864 when Sheridan rode furiously up to the fiedl from "Twenty Miles Away". A prisoner taken later, told how General Jubal Early, the confederate commander took the defeat. After the battle he tried to halt the retreat of his forces at Fisher's Hill, a long ridge connecting Massanutten Mountain with North Mountain. He sat on his horse beseeching his troppst o half and form a line of defense. "Boys won't you rally once more for all Jubal?" "Nary a rally, Jubal" replied the discouraged troopers and so ended the fighting in the Shenandoah Valley."

Three having preceded her. One dying in infancy. Ona died April 26, 1896; Clarence died April 15, 1912, She leaves a husband, two sisters Miss Sarah J. Stuck, Mrs Emma Goodrich, and one brother Mr Eugene Stuck of McArthur, Ohio to survive her. "Sad was the hour and fatal the day When they took our dear mother away We saw her suffer and heard her sighs With aching hearts and weeping eyes We saw her sinking hour by hour Yet could not stay deaths awful power But now she calmly sleeps at last All pain, all aches, all suffering past, Tis sweet to be remembered And a pleasant thing we find That though she may be absent, She is still kept in our mind." Funeral at the home Wednesday pm conducted by Rev C. B. Taylor. Interment in Hixon Cemetery. CARD OF THANKS
