OBITUARY

Loa Faithful McClure

  Loa Faithful McClure, daughter of Charley G. and Martha McClure was 
born in Vaughnsville, Ohio, on February 8th, 1884 and departed this 
life at the home of her parents in Columbus Grove, Ohio, on October 
27th, 1922, aged 38 years, 8 months and 19 days.  She was of a family 
of five children, two boys and three girls.  One of the girls died in 
infancy.  Those remaining are Richard and Guy McClure and Gertrude 
Anderson, wife of Earl Anderson of Columbus Grove.
  In the year 1922, Loa confessed Christ as her personal Savior and 
united with St. John's United Brethren Church, then under the pastoral 
care of Rev. M. R. Gibson and was faithful to her covenant vows ever 
after.  She suffered bodily afflication for many years, but with that 
patience and fortitude of one who knows the Lord.  She was a faithful 
attendant on church services when her strength would permit, often 
going at the price of physical suffering.
  It was her nature to be quiet, not much of a mixer in society, yet 
everybody who knew her was her friend.  She loved company and was a 
lover of little children.
  With the exception of eight and onehalf years spent in Paulding 
County her entire life was lived in Putnam County.
  She leaves to mourn her going, father, mother, two brothers, one 
sister, some nephews and nieces, a number of other relatives and a 
large circle of neighbors and friends.  These all have the sympathy of 
those who know the meaning of sympathy, and can comfort themselves with 
the following thoughts.
  "Not changed but glorified? Oh beauteous thought,
For those who weep, Mourning the loss of some dear face departed, 
Fallen asleep!
  "How will it look the face that we have cherished, Hushed into 
silence, never more to comfort the hearts of men; Gone like the shadows 
of another country, Beyond our ken?
"How will it look, the face that we have cherished, When next we meet?  
Will it be changed--so glorified and saintly That we shall know it not?  
Will there be nothing that will say, I love thee?  And I have not 
forgot?  O faithful heart! the same loved face transfigured Shall meet 
thee there--Less sad, less wistful, in immortal beauty Divinely fair.
  "Let us be patient, we who mourn with weeping Some vanished face; The 
Lord has taken, but to add more beauty And a diviner grace.  When 
through the storm and tempted safely anchored Just on the other side, 
We shall find that dear face through death's deep shadows Not changed 
buy glorified."
  Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon and were largely attended 
by friends and relatives, Rev. Shock officiating.  Burial took place at 
Turner cemetery.
