Hart Co: DIED - At his home near Uno, Hart county, Kentucky, Isham H GALLOWAY, on the evening of December 16, after an illness of four months and one week. He was in his forty-fifth year, and had been a consistent member of the Christian church for nineteen years. He leaves a wife and two children (daughters), besides many friends and relations to mourn his loss. To know him was to love him. He was a good citizen and neighbor. Funeral services were conducted by Eld. J. C. HALL, at the residence on Thursday following, at 12 o'clock, after which the remains wee laid to rest in the Horse Cave Cemetery. During his illness he was a great sufferer, but bore his suffering with great patience, scarcely uttering a murmur of complaint. What a lesson of patience God has given to us in our dear father! He realized his condition, and often spoke of his coming departure, assuring those about him of his willingness to go, as he had made preparation. Oh, death is not the end but a beginning! In the goodness of God there is never so dark an hour but that there is a light ahead. It will take time, but bye and bye our hearts will be able to feel the balm sweetness of His promises. Over in the deathless land, greeted by the welcoming smile of a loving Master, a new life is their's for joy beyond all we are able to conceive in all the promises of the Gospel none are more precious than that we shall see him again, glorified, immortalized. May the comfort of the Gospel and the benediction of the Spirit abide in our hearts in Christian sympathy. (lengthy poem follows) His Daughter. (30 Dec 1896 issue). Metcalfe Co: On Thursday of last week, at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Chas BRANSTETTER, near Summer Shade, Mr. Lemuel GLASS and Miss Tom Branstetter were united in marriage. Both are excellent young people and have many friends who most sincerely hope that all their beset wishes may be realized. (20 Jan 1897 issue). On the 6th inst., at Mt. Carmel church, three miles east of Edmonton, an immense throng was congregated to witness the marriage of Mr. J. P. YATES, of Edmonton, to Miss Anna B. JEWELL, of the Mt. Carmel community. Promptly at 11 o'clock ushers W. R. OLDHAM and R. C. GALLOWAY threw open the doors, announcing the arrival of the wedding party, which passed slowly up the aisle to the altar, where Rev. B. D. PORTER stood awaiting them. Attorney M. O. SCOTT and Miss Beaulah ANDERSON led the way, followed by Mr. Othello CUMMINS with Miss B. Oldham and Mr. J. W. Galloway with Miss Lillie Anderson; then came Mr. J. P. Yates, with his soon-to-be bride. Hundreds of admiring eyes looked fondly on while in tones of softest melody the Rev. Mr. Porter sealed the bonds of the union of two hearts that shall henceforth be inseparable, with an appropriate benediction. Mr. Yates is one of Metcalfe's very best young men, and the social circle in which he moves recognizes him as a fixed star around which they admiringly revolve. The bride he has won possesses all the attributes pertaining to the model woman. Reared from earliest childhood in the atmosphere of love and luxury, the bud expanded into the perfect flower whose purity and sweetness has won and retained the admiration of all who know her. After the benediction the happy bride and groom, accompanied by many friends returned to the home of the bride's step-father, Mr. M. L. DOUGHERTY, where dinner was served in that elegant style which has always characterized the royal hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty. Their many friends feel that the future of this happy couple will perfect the love, confidence and congeniality that has brightened their youth, and hope that this may lead them on to that more perfect life which we are all seeking in the infinite and beautiful beyond. A GUEST. (16 Dec 1896 issue). To be continued.
