Henry E. RICHARDS was born Feb. 10, 1871, in Richardsville, Ky.   After a sickness of twenty-five  days he died Sept. 18, 1902.  In the evening at the close of the day, from his cottage home in Gueydan, his soul took its flight home to God.   He came to us, in the strength of young Christian manhood, from Richardsville circuit, of the Louisville Conference.   Sanctified by our Father, he was in ideal father.   He leaves a faithful, Christian wife and a baby girl, together with friends and loved ones to mourn his death.   We loved him; those who knew him could not help but feel his loss.  His walk among us resulted in a spiritual benediction to our souls.  His sickness wasted his body but the approach of death invigorated his soul; and while speaking of his Masters will he died a triumphant death.   To you who mourn his loss:  He who wept with those that weep will bind your wounded heart.  Henceforth, in commending you to God, this shall ever remain my inspiration:  to know that he is there.

M. DUNN of this county.  She was married to Mr. Morgan F. LEWIS of this county, about five or six years ago and they lived here awhile and moved to Texas, near Ft. Worth, and lived there about three years and then came back to this county.  Two years ago her friends and relatives discovered something wrong with her mind and they decided to send her to Lakeland Asylum to be treated there.  Her friends and relatives hoped that she would soon be restored, but she gradually grew worse all the time until finally the good death angel came and took her away to dwell in that sunshine home to live forever with the angels in that celestial city which has been prepared for us all to whomever may ask for admittance.  There she will never have no trials and tribulations to bear like she had here.        Mattie's friends never knew her to do any harm in their life, only to respect and love everybody who she came in contact with.  She was a good, true Christian woman in every sense of the word.  I never knew her to speak any evil of anyone in my life, always returning good for evil, which was one of the chief principals of the Bible with her all through life.  She was as quiet and as humble as a lamb and was very unassuming in her manner.  And really she never knew very much sin in her life, and I believe Mattie is resting sweetly and quietly in her bright, sunshine home in Heaven.  Let me say to the dear old heart-broken and bereaved mother you must prepare to meet this loving child in Heaven, where you will never be separated, although you were separated from her here and could not be with her in her last moments, but nevertheless there is a time coming when you shall know her better in Heaven than you did here on earth. _____________________________X-Message: #9 ------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: [KYF] OBIT: BALDOCK, 2002, Casey Co. ------------------------------------------------------------ From the Danville Advocate Messenger, 18 Mar 2002 LIBERTY -- Lorene Baldock, 91, of Pine Village, Ind., formerly of Casey County, died Saturday in Williamsport, Ind.
