Washington, KY *********************************************************************** Transcribed by: kybrenda@aol.com Date: 10 Jan 2001 *********************************************************************** from a Local paper 1922, article written by Lillian HARRIS PARRISH A Tribute of Love To Mrs. Isalene HARRIS TROUTMAN Mrs. Isalene HARRIS TROUTMAN, fell asleep on eath to awake in her new home above, August 11, 1922. She would have been 26 years of age, the 8th of September. Funeral Services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. S. COAKLEY, Sundday at 10 a. m. at the Baptist Church. She leaves her husband, Clyde F. TROUTMAN, a well know farmer and stock trader, a baby girl Stuart, three years old, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice A. HARRIS, two siste rs, Misses Emma Melle and Marianna HARRIS, and other near relatives and unnumbered friends who feel their loss to be almost beyond endurance. Sometimes we find a subject that we are unable to justify present: and we feel that now our mind is too unsettled and our hearts too sore to write as we feel we should of this loved one who has just left us. Only a few years and she was baby like unto the little one she has left. My only brother's oldest child, she came into our home in my girlhood days and we loved her as we loved no other, except our own. Frail and delicate in her childhood as she was only made her dearer. In her young girlhood she seemed stronger and had become a lovely matron and seemed to grow in strength and endurance in the care of her home that she loved so dearly and took such pride in. Always so capable and independent she was indeed a helpmate to her husband, ready to lend assistance in every detail of his business. When my dear father lay in his last illness she always visited him with a cheerful greeting and while he was able to understand, she nver failed to bring a smile to Grandad, before she left him, little thinking that just three montsh from the day she followed him to the cemetery she would be taken to the same resting place. On Sunday we saw her at the home of her parents, seemingly as well as she had ever been, but after going to her home complained of feeling tired and felt some ill effects from a cold and a sore mouth. Monday at 5 a. m. they called Dr. SETTLE as she was suffering intensley with (paper torn) It was not until Tuesday (paper torn) uneasiness was felt regard (paper torn) mouth, then her face began (paper torn) her fever became alarming (paper torn) mistakable signs of blood poisiong observed. Dr. McCLURE and a nurse were called but all was of no avail for all soon came to feel that the end was near and at 145 Friday afternoon she peacefully and quietly slipped away. Words cannot portray the grief her loving husband, fond parents, sisters and brothers near and dear to her. Coming as a tief in the night death left a mark that long years cannot erase and in the loss of this bright young life we are just now unable to see our way clearly. She will be missed in her church where she was ever ready for service and her sweet voice so often added to the Sunday Service. she will be missed in the community where she so often mingled with friend and acquainteance. She will be sadly missed in her parents home which was hers the same as when a maiden she brightened its rooms. In her own home that she had helped to adorn and had endeared so many familiar spots by her care and pride, she will be missed most of all. May all the sad, grievd hearts find balm for their sadness, we can only say, we loved her and we'll miss her but that only feebly expresses (paper torn) feeling "Aunt Lillian"
