     In Memoriam
     We are brought together on this sad occasion to part with one of our
dear
ones, for a while, whom God has called from our home.
     Theodore H. Boudinot, second son of Tobias and Elizabeth Boudinot,
was born
at Millfield, Ohio, on August 7, 1852.  His spirit gently took its flight
on
the morning of July 27, 1931, a mission of 78 years , 11 months and 27
days.
He was united in marriage to Lenora Birge, at Chauncey, on September 28,
1873.
To this union four sons were born: Marcellus, Gilbert, Orley, and Fletcher.
Orley died at the age of four years.
]     After the death of his first companion, he was married to Susan
Hill, June
26, 1889.  One son, Harry, was born who died in infancy.
     After the death of his second wife he was united in marriage the
third time
to Lola Linscott at Hoopers Ridge.  To this union three sons and three
daughters came to bless their home.
     His health had been failing for over four years, but he bore
it patiently.
In his friendship he was true, as a husband he was affectionate and kind, a
devoted, loving father, and it is in these relations that he will be most
grievously missed.
     "Dode" as all his friends knew him, lived a life of toil and industry,
laboring for the benefit of others rather than himself.
     Now that Life's fitful scenes are over, we believe it will be said
unto him,
"Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of the
Lord."
     Besides the widow, he leaves to mourn their loss, six sons and three
daughters: Marcellus of Bucyrus, Gilbert of Amesville, Fletcher of
Millfield,
Carlos of Amanda, Sidney of Sunbury, Clifford of Sugar Creek, Mrs. T.M.
Keirns
of Amesville, Mrs. Ralph McKibben of Sugar Creek, and Mrs. Williard Skinner
of
Galena.  One brother, C.H. Boudinot, of Millfield, twenty-six
grandchildren,
nine great grandchildren, and a host of relatives and friends are also
left.
     
"What is home without our father?
Oh, "tis hard for us to bear,
But we left it all with Jesus,
Thou didst call him and was fair.

Beneath our eyes he faded slowly,
Growing day by day more frail,
Bearing sweetly all his suffering
Without murmur, moan or wail.

Once more a treasured father
Has gone to dwell above,
To be with his creator
Where all is peace and love.

Yes, one more soul has anchored
Safe on that heavenly shore,
Where pain can never enter,
Where partings are no more.

Around the family circle,
We see a vacant chair.
There is none on earth can fill it,
As did our father dear.

Hearts are bleeding, sad and lonely
As we look about the place,
Many friends are gathered near us
But there's missing one dear face."
