    1. Obituary

    Walter Lowe Haines, son of John and Mary (Waterston) Haines, was born in
    Bridgewater Township Feb. 5, 1873 and passed away at the hospital in Angola,
    Ind., March 8, 1927, aged 54 years, one month and three days.

    On March 31, 1897 he was united in marraige to Ellen Ingram, and to this happy
    union were born five children, four daughters and one son, all of whom survive
    him.

    On June 18, 1917 death deprived him of his beloved comopanion, since which time
    with his children around him he still maintained the home, now made sacred to
    them forever by the hallowed memories of him.

    In the daeth of Mr. Haines our community loses one of its best known and most
    highly respected citizens.  Only a few days ago he seemed so strong and
    vigorous in health that it is now difficult to realize he has gone from among
    us.  We are led to say with the Psalmist: "Lord, make me to know mine end, and
    the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am."

    Mr. Haines was ambitious to succeed especially for the sake of those who
    depended upon him.  He was devoted to his family, and did not spare himself to
    make them comfortable and happy.

    It was always a pleasure to meet him.  The Grange, the community at large, and
    especially the members of his family wukk greatly miss him.  He leaves five
    children, three grandchildren, his mother, one sister, three brothers and many
    other relatives and friends.

    "The odor of a fragrant flower doth last
    Long after outweard loveliness is gone;
    So when a beautious life seems spent and past,
    The sweetness of its influence liveth on."

    Funeral services were conducted in the First U. B. church of Montpelier
    Thursday afternoon (March 10th) at two o'clock, in charge of Rev. L. E. Ames.
    Appropriate and beautiful music was rendered by Mr. Irving Miller and Miss
    Verle Kirk, accompanied by Mrs. L. E. Ames.  The body was laid to rest in
    Riverside Cemetery.

    Dearest One, most mild and lovely,
    Gentle as the sumer breeze,
    Pleasant as the air of evening
    When it floats among the trees.
    Peaceful be thy silent slumber
    Peaceful in the grave so low
    Thou no more will join our number
    Thou no more our songs shall know.

    Dearest One, thou hast left us.
    Here, thy loss we deeply feel
    But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
    He can all our sorrows heal.
    Yet again we hope to meet thee
    When the day of life is fled.
    Then in heaven with joy to greet thee
    Where no farewell tears are shed.
