On last Thursday night August 22, one would have been heartbroken beyond doubt 
if they had been one of the by standers in the east room of the home of Mr. 
Daniel Harris. which proved to be the death chamber of his oldest son. He was 
taken ill August 15 it seems that chances were very slim for his recovery, but 
he met death without a sigh or regret, and calmly stated more than once that he 
felt all right in the spirit ana finally passed away with the same feeling. The 
people of Ofelia, both old and young will miss Bro. Frank very much as he was 
one of the most excellent singers of our community, he was a [unreadable] with 
an organ and a great love of music. Brother Frank was also a member of the U. 0. 
F. society of Ofelia. he was in me organization and did much to benefit the 
lodge during his stay with us he will be missed greater there than anywhere else 
with the young men, as he acted as clerk for a number of months and when we all 
formed a ring for prayer before dismission there was someone to begin a song and 
Bro. Frank was always ready to begin in low soft tones until it was picked up by 
the other members and wafted in mellow tones away. He sung with feeding the 
members of this society will miss him much, Bro. Frank was a member of the 
Christian Church at New Harmony and did much work in the way of singing, his 
relatives and friends are much bereaved over the loss of such a bright 
intelligent young man with the possibilities before him like they were in this 
case, we never realize one's worth till they have taken their flight and then it 
is too late. May God bless the family and comfort them in their bereavement, is 
my praper. Olen Stewart
