RIFFLEY, BROOKS Miss Katherine RIFFLEY, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert RIFFLEY, of the South side, died at her home Saturday morning at 6:15 o'clock. She was 18 years of age. Miss RIFFLEY underwent an operation for appendicitis seven weeks ago, of which she never recovered. Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in charge of Dr. W. D. IRONS, D. D., pastor of the First United Presbyterian church. Interment was in the Robinson's Run cemetery. One of those rare characters, a man without an enemy, passed on to the future life at 7:20 a.m. Wednesday, September 22, 1920, when D. Smith BROOKS died at the home of his son, Kerr BROOKS, south of Belle Center. He had been in poor health for some weeks past and was under the care of a physician but the announcement of his death came as a great surprise to his army of friends. Mr. BROOKS was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher BROOKS and was born in Stokes township on January 7, 1848. In early life the family located on a farm south of Belle Center and he enrolled as a student in the old Northwood College. In early life Mr. BROOKS united with the United Presbyterian church and was superintendent of the Sabbath School at Northwood and later at Huntsville for about 35 years, having but recently given the work into the hands of a younger man. He was married to Mattie DUNLAP in 1869 and to them three sons were born, Rev. Guy S. BROOKS, of McDonald, Pa., and Kerr S. BROOKS, south of town. The other son died a few years ago in Arizona. The faithful wife passed to her reward about four years ago. For 18 years Mr. BROOKS wrote the Huntsville news for the Herald-Voice and he was faithful in that just as in all his other obligations of life. *verbiage cut for brevity* The funeral was one of the largest ever known in the community, a mighty tribute of the high esteem in which he was held. The bank of which he was vice president and all other business places were closed. There was an unusually large number of floral tributes...*verbiage cut for brevity* *Herald-Voice, Belle Center, Ohio
