Obit passed on in Family
The Angel of Death has visited our community and removed from our midst our 
friend, William H. Dalton, who was born in Kentucky on May 7, 1864 and 
departed this life November 14, 1933 being 69 years 6 months and 7 days of age 
at the time of his passing.
   He was the son of James and Barbara dalton whom have preceded him to the 
Great Beyond. He came to life, having born educated in the schools of Adams 
County, after which he entered the "teaching " profession for several years.
  He leaves to mourn his demise the following children: Anna B. Whitley and 
Sylvia Hill of Otway, Ohio; Barbara E. Cook of Springfield Ohio; Henry Clay 
Dalton of Wisconsin; Walter S. and Charles W. of Urbana, Ohio; James H. and 
Frank M. of Otway, Ohio. He also leaves 25 grandchildren, 2 sisters; Polly M. 
Spires of Peebles, Ohio and Ella M. Adkins of Otway, Ohio; one brother Ulysses 
G. Dalton of Wisconsin, His comanion departed this life February 12, 1918. She 
together with one daughter, Carrie M. Gordley, one son, William A. Dalton, two 
sisters Nola F. Waters and Larua B. Brumfield and two brothers John H. and 
James L. Dalton are awaiting his coming to that "Celestial" City.
   He was sticken with paralysis some two years ago and since that time he has 
bore his suffering and misfortune with patience and fortitude. Tender care and 
attention were given by his children and his sister and brother-in -law with 
whom he resided for the last six months.
   Everything available was done with the hope that he would be restored to 
former health but it wan not in accord with God's wil as he said " Come unto 
me all ye that are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest."
   Brother Dalton united with the Wamsley M.E. Church 42 years ago and we 
believe that he has been a consistent member of the church, a loving father, a 
faithful brother and a sincere friend, whos vacancy will be hard to supply in 
the home, in the church and in the community in which he lived.
   He was a benefactor to humanity, a lover of children and the children were 
kindly attracted to him.
  "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die" amd we truly believe his 
influence wil live in the hearts of his children and his friends and that it 
will inspire them to a greater endeavor in helpin humanity and serving our 
creator. We trust that his life will be a sweet benediction to all and that 
his Christian virtues wil be emulated in the lives of the youth of our 
community.
  The familiar words of the Apostle Paul can be applied in his earthly 
career. " I know whom I have believes and am persuaged that he is able to keep 
that which I have commited unto Him against that day." God gave him the 
welcome approbation, " Well done, thou good an faithful servant, thou hast 
been faithful over a few things. I shall make thee ruler over many things".
