William GHERING, one of our oldest and most respected citizens died
last Thursday morning at his home, eleven miles northwest of Okarche.

Deceased was born in Anhaltia town on the line between Germany and
Holland, in 1837, being seventy-seven years and 11 months old at the
time of his death. He was one of a family of four children. His
parents moved to Ohio when he was a small child. From there he moved
to Wisconsin, where he resided near Richland Center until the Cheyenne
opening in Oklahoma. He obtained a farm in the run and made it his
home until his death. A wife, seven daughters, a son and a brother
survive him.

The deceased was ever upright and conscientious in his dealings with
others, kind and considerate to his family and willing to do unto
others as he would be done by. His true worth was known only to those
who knew him most intimately. He suffered much with pain but was
patient, unselfish, resigned.

The name of the children and their vocations are as follows: Will
GHERING, Jr., resides at Hugo, Okla., where he has a fine farm; Laura
GHERING, oldest daughter, resides in Kingfisher where she has been the
respected principal of the city schools for sixteen years; Lena
BUSSARD, resides in Canada; Maria WALKER in Greenfield, Calif.; Dora
WILLIAMS, Okarche; Louie PERRYMAN, Arkansas City; Mrs. Nora WELLS,
Okarche; Miss Leona is at home with her mother.

The funeral was held Saturday morning, April 8, from the Catholic
church in Okarche. The services were conducted by Father STABER. Mr.
GHERING died a firm believer in the faith in which he lived. He was a
sincere and consistent Christian in deed as well as word. "Blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord."
