Obituary of Ernest Medsker

Clark County (IL) Democrat, 21 February 1923


Ernest Medsker, youngest son of Alexander and Mary Medsker, was born 
in Melrose township, Feb. 27, 1892, and departed this life at the home 
of his mother, Feb. 12, 1923, aged 30 years, 11 months and 15 days.  
He was united in marriage to Pearl Cooper January 27, 1916.  To this 
union were born two sons, Wayne and Denzel.  His wife preceeded him 
in death Dec. 7, 1920.  He leaves to mourn his departure besides his 
two sons, a mother, two brothers, Percy, who lives at home with his 
mother, and Orville of Melrose township, one sister, Grace Maxwell 
of Martinsville, also a large number of other relatives and friends.

His last sickness was of short duration, being confined to his bed 
but a few days with pneumonia.  All that loving hands and medical 
skill could do was without avail and death claimed him as his victim 
and his earthly labors were drawn to a close.  He passed into the 
other world surrounded by those most dear to him in life.

He was of a cheerful disposition and always greeted his friends with 
a smile.  Always looking on the bright side of life, his generous 
nature and kindly disposition can never be forgotten.  We, too, will 
go over the River of Rest, as the strong and the lonely before us 
have gone; our sun will go down in the beautiful west, to rise in 
the glory that circles the throne.
