The interment took place in the Odd Fellows cemetery here instead of the Foster cemetery. Mr. McCann also informs us that he called a physician the day following the accident. OBITUARY Omar Marshall McCann, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. McCann was born at Martin, Ky., May 27th, 1892, died January 1st, 1906. While in infancy, was baptised by Rev. T. B. Stratton. The family moved to Ohio in 1899. While quite young Omar became interested in his soul's salvation and at the age of eight years united with the M. E. church at Pleasant Bottom under the charge of Rev. Chas. Kelch. All through life he manifested a deep interest in the work of the Sunday school. His life was one of perfect trust in Christ. When the end was near, he bade his parents good-bye and said: "I am not afraid to die. I am trusting in Jesus." Omar had superior talents for one so young, particularly his oratorical powers, many times leading some of his seniors in exhortations of faith and patience. As a scholar, he was above average, bright and intelligent, a favorite among his schoolmates. His relations and friends in whose memory Omar will never die, join in tears of sympathy for the bereaved family thus bereft of so rich a treasure and their own loss of a kind and loving friend. The funeral occurred on Wednesday, January 3rd, at 10 a.m. at the home of the parents which was filled to overflowing with friends of the family. Rev. J. M. Bennet pastor of the M.E. church, conducted the services. His life and death will help the cause of Christ and Omar, though dead, yet speaketh. "The midnight stars are beaming Upon his silent grave, Where he is sleeping without dreaming, The one we could not save. We know that he has found a home, Above that never dies, And soon his voice will bid us come, And meet him in the skies.=94 Margaret Ellis His Sunday School Teacher" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #12 Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 02:52:32 -0000 From: "Ralph W.

He was the only son of Boliver and Orpea Fisher. He was converted at a meeting held at the Cedar school house in 1897, and united with the M.E. church. Alfred was a dutiful son, a loving brother and a true friend. He leaves a father, mother and two sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his sad death. The golden bowl is broken, the silver cord loosened, but we will meet our loved one in a brighter and better world, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at reat. The following beautiful lines from C. W. seem to touch a tender cord in our sad hearts: Weep not for a brother deceased Our loss is his infinite gain; A soul out of prison released, And freed from its chain; With songs let us follow his flight And mount with his spirit above, Escaped to the mansions of light, And lodged in the Eden of love. Our brother the haven hath gained, Outflying the tempest and wind; His rest he hath sooner obtained, And left his companions behind. Still tossed on a sea of distress, Has toiling to make the blest shore, Where all is assurance and peace, And sorrows and sin are no more. There all the ship=92s company meet, Who sailed with the Savior beneath, With shouting each other they greet, And triumpt o=92er sorrow and death, The voyage of life=92s at an end. The mortal affliction is past The age that in heaven they spend Forever and ever shall last. Agnes and Pearl Fisher" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V01 Issue #08 *****************************************
