| 21453 | Obituary states Smithburg Methodist Church Cemetery. | MAXWELL, Charles E. (I37869)
|
| 21454 | Obituary states states that he was born Mar 2 1916 in Clarksburg, but marriage record shows his birth as Mar 2 1920 in Wilsonburg. The 1920 Census of Harrison County gives his age as 4. | STROTHER, Junior Dayton (I50513)

|
| 21457 | Obituary states that burial was "in the West Union cemetery," which usually means Blockhouse Hill Cemetery. In this case, it would probably be in the former IOOF section, since that's where his children are buried. | MCCAULEY, John George (I55979)
|
| 21458 | Obituary states that burial was at Masonic Memorial Park, but Findagrave reports his headstone at the nearby Freeman-Coleman Cemetery. | GRIFFITH, William Harry (I28276)

|
| 21465 | Obituary states that his funeral was held at his home on Wednesday (Sep 2 1903), but does not specify the date of his death. It is possible that the death date was Sep 1st or late August. There is no death record. | NUTTER, Christopher G. (I56458)
|
| 21466 | Obituary states that interment was made "in the old West Union cemetery." This is almost certainly the lower portion of Blockhouse Hill Cemetery that was once the Seventh Day Baptist cemetery, rather than the former IOOF section of the upper Blockhouse Hill Cemetery. His wife's 1923 death record stated her burial location only as West Union. Based on her husband's obituary, it is presumed that she too was buried in the old SDB section. | DAVIS, Eli (I57630)

| 21470 | Obituary, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, November 28, 1918: JAMES ALFRED HAUGHT WINS GOLDEN STAR On last Friday night the official message went over the wires to Mr. and Mrs. John C. Haught of Bristol that their son, James Alfred Haught, had been killed in action, Oct. 10, 1918. The details of his brief career as a soldier are unknown to us at this writing, but from relatives here, we learn that he entrained at Clarksburg about May 28th and that he probably took a brief training at Camp Lee before being rushed to France for further training and for active service. Besides the bereaved parents, three brothers, W. P., Ora V., and W. C. Haught, and two sisters, Misses Alice and Lillie A. Haught, mourn their loss. The mother was formerly Miss Anna E. Smith, daughter of William Smith of Nutters Fork, and the father is a brother to David Haught of West Union. Silas P. Smith, W. F. Smith and David Smith, all of West Union, are also uncles of the deceased soldier. For many years the Haughts lived on Brushy Fork, where this noble young man was born and grew to manhood. The profound sympathy of a wide circle of friends and relatives goes out to the bereaved family in their dark hour of sorrow. And while their loss is irreparable, may God help them to know and to understand that to their son has come the supreme honor -- that he has accomplished the highest possible mission in this life -- that he has made the greatest possible sacrifice for Country and for God. | HAUGHT, James Alfred (I8417)

The bereaved father, one sister, Mrs. Normus Powell of Flint; his stepmother and a family of half-brothers and half-sisters at the old home in McClellan mourn their loss. A particularly sad feature in connection with the death of this young man was his father, hearing of his illness, had started to Camp Meade Monday to see him, only to learn on his arrival that his son had passed into that Silent land from whose borne no traveler returns, and that the body ws on its way back to the home. The profound sympathy of all loyal men and women goes out to the stricken family in their dark hour of anguish. | HARBERT, Grover Ray (I121522)

| 21474 | Obituary, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, September 12, 1918: CLYDE ROBINSON WINS GOLDEN STAR Word came to Mrs. L. A. Swiger of Folsom R. 1., McClellan District, on Sept. 5th that her son, Clyde Robinson, had been killed in action July 26th [sic], 1918. Besides the bereaved mother, one brother, Herald, aged 14 years, mourns his loss. Born in Harrison County, this noble young man moved to Doddridge some three years ago when his mother became the wife of L.A. Swiger, a well-known McClellan farmer. Finishing his common school course, he enlisted in March 1917 in Co. K., West Virginia National Guard, was mustered into the Federal Service and trained at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss. He embarked for France early in 1918 and was a true and valiant soldier until the End of the Way came, bearing to his Life's Supreme Honor -- the Golden Star -- the Emblem of the Accomplished Mission of Our God. Not yet 18 years of age, Clyde Robinson was not called to the Colors by the Law of the Land; his was a yet higher and mor beautiful call; his call was the still, small whisper of the Vocie of God; and he heard and heeded. (Note: The surname Robinson was twice incorrectly given in the obituary as Roberts, once in the headline and again in the first paragraph. It was correctly stated in the last paragraph. The West Virginia State Archives Veterans Memorial Database and the American Battle Monuments Commission report his death date as Jul 21 1918. ) | ROBINSON, Clyde (I121491)

| 21476 | Obituary, "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 79, No 25, Dec 20 1915, p. 799: Silas Fitz Randolph, the son of William F. Randolph and Mary Davis Randolph, was born July 3, 1833, on Greenbrier Run, W. Va., and died December 1, 1915, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. E. Persels, of Farina, Ill., at the age of 82 years, 4 months, and 28 days. Mr. Randolph was the sixth in a family of twelve children, only two of whom are still living: Judson and Preston, both of Salem, W. Va. His early education consisted of several terms in a private school taught by members of his family and a term or two at West Union Academy. He was converted and baptized under the labors of Elder Azor Estee, who persuaded him to accompany him to his home at Petersburg, N.Y., to learn the northern style of farming. While here he lived in Elder Estees home and joined the Petersburg Seventh Day Baptist Church. In the spring of 1855, Mr. Randolph took one of his sisters and his two brothers who survive him to Alfred, where he entered school. These were the first students to go from West Virginia to Alfred. While here he met Miss Emily Lusk, to whom he was married on December 2, 1862, at her home in Danville, N.Y. In January 1864, Mr. Randolph enlisted as a volunteer in the Civil War, serving in Company I, 5th N.Y. Heavy Artillery, until the close of the war. Mr. and Mrs. Randolph moved to Farina on February 14, 1866, after a few months spent in West Virginia. Mr. Randolph was one of the constituent members of the Farina Seventh Day Baptist Church, with which he has since held his membership, except for a few years while in California. In the fall of 1887, he took up a soldiers claim in southern California near Valley Center and lived there for a number of years. He also lived at Colony Heights, Riverside, and Los Angeles. In the spring of 1906, he and his wife returned to Farina, where she passed away February 21, 1913. Since then Mr. Randolph has made his home with some of his children. To Mr. and Mrs. Randolph were born five children: Ernest F., Virtue, who died in infancy, Lura, the wife of C. E. Persels, Ines, the wife of O. C. Wells, and Mabel, now Mrs. Wm. H. Allen, all of whom live at Farina and were present at the funeral, which was conducted by the pastor at the home of Mrs. Persels, Friday afternoon, December 3. For some time Mr. Randolph has been failing in health. He was a Christian man and an ardent student of the Bible, especially in his later years. For a number of years both his eyesight and hearing gradually left him, yet he kept well informed on matters of denominational interest. He has written a number of articles for the Sabbath Recorder. Before the end came he expressed a readiness to go to his eternal home where there will be no more affliction or sorrow, and waited patiently for the summons. L. O. G. | RANDOLPH, Silas F. (I92112)

| 21485 | Obituary, Beatrice Daily Sun (Beatrice, Nebraska), Sunday, 14 Aug 1921 WYMORE MAN HAD A VARIED CAREER Death of Hugh B. Hammond Recalls Incidents of a Long and Interesting Life Hugh Barnette Hammond was born March 4, 1849, at Timbuctoo Creek, Pike County, Mo. While just a babe, his father joined a caravan bound for the gold fields of California. In crossing the state of Utah, they were attacked by the Mormons and Indians, at which time his mother was killed. He with his brothers and sisters were given by their father to members of the party who cared for them. A few years later his father reclaiming them returned east and settled in West Union, W.Va., where Mr. Hammond spent the early part of his life as a real mountaineer and always considered West Union his home. While still in his teens, he began to shift for himself, at one time teaching a small mountain school. But not content to remain in one locality, he began to travel and plied up and down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers employed on steamboats, finally drifting back to Missouri where he worked on a farm near Joplin, which at that time was only a small frontier town. One day while on his way to visit a neighbor, he came across a fellow traveler who was endeavoring to drive a stake near the side of the road for the purpose of tying his horses, but failing to penetrate through the hardness, passed on. Mr. Hammond the next day on his return met people hurrying back and forth as if wild. Stopping to inquire, he was told of the rich lead strike which a prospector had just found, it having been disclosed where Mr. Hammond and his fellow traveler had been trying to drive the stake the day before. That was the beginning of Joplin. From there he went back to West Virginia, and while loitering aimlessly around a small wayside railway station, the agent decided to put him to work and asked if he would watch the office while he went to town. At that time the messages were typed on strips of paper, it was only essential that one could send, as he could decipher the messages later. The agent very briefly lined the work and left, leaving Mr. Hammond in full charge. The next day he failed to return. The click of the instrument began to fascinate him greatly, so he set about to work it out, and by that evening could send quite well. A few days passed and the agent failed to return. He knew that he had at least discovered his vocation and set in with full force to master telegraphy. The deciphering of the messages from type seemed too slow to him, so he began to train his ear to catch the letters. In a remarkably short time, he had mastered the receiving of messages by ear. Several months passed before it was known by officials that the agent had gone and Mr. Hammond was in charge. Becoming restless in his wayside station, he began to hunt work in larger offices. Knew Famous Men His life at this time was very eventful, having much personal experience with Edison, Frick and Carnegie, Edison having worked in many of the same offices with him as telegraph operator. He delighted to tell of experiences the offices had with Edison, as invariably he (Edison) would keep the batteries and wires out of order trying always to work out some experiment or find something new. He also related many little incidents with Carnegie before he even began his career. At the time of the Centennial in Philadelphia, he was working in Pittsburgh when the call came for a competent man to handle the trains. Mr. Hammond was the one chosen and sent with high recommendations. He became interested and applied himself to the study of chess, becoming very efficient and renowned, having won many honors in chess tournaments, playing several games blindfolded, at which he was successful. He also carried on many correspondence games with players of note. Again he drifted west and went to Lincoln when it was just a small town and was employed as operator by the Burlington when that road was first beginning to extend their lines through Nebraska. Finally he landed in Mexico, locating in the city of Old Mexico where he held the position of train master and assistant superintendent for some years. Returning to the states, he settled in Pine Bluff, Ark., where he met and married Anna Salome Braunig of Baton Rouge, La., in 1891. The same year he came to Wymore as train dispatcher, which position he held until three years ago, when sickness forced him to retire in 1918. Since that time, he has been a constant sufferer of diabetes, yet through all his sickness he retained his keen mind and wonderful personality and delighted those who were fortunate enough to hear him relate some of his life's experiences, of which he had many and varied. Mr. Hammond held the distinction of having one of the most efficient records of service in this division and was highly esteemed by all, whether they knew him personally or by wire. He also was a great lover of music and was never happier than when he could have musicians gather at this home to play for him. Early in life he associated himself with the Seventh Day Advents, taking up the study of the Bible, especially the Prophesies. One of his most marked characteristics was his keen sense of humor. Death came to him while asleep Sunday morning, August 7, 1921. He leaves to mourn his loss, besides his widow, a daughter, Mrs. Harry J. Skow, of Beatrice, and a son Hugh D. O. Hammond of Holbrook, Ariz. Also one brother, John Hammond, of West Union, W.Va. | HAMMOND, Hugh Barnette (I67660)

| 21486 | Obituary, Carolina Observer (Fayetteville NC), Dec 1 1862, reprinted from Raleigh Standard: "Death of Hugh Jones Gaston. -- We record with much regret the death of Hugh Jones Gaston, Adjutant of the 48th N. C. Troops. He was wounded in the battle of Sharpsburg, in his shoulder and face, and died at a farm house near that place about the second week in October last. "Adjutant Gaston was the youngest son of Alexander Gaston, Esq., who was the only son of the Hon. William Gaston. His only brother, William Gaston, was killed by the Indians, near Fort Walla Walla, some four or five years since, in his first engagement; and Hugh received his death wound in his first engagement at Sharpsburg. Hugh Jones Gaston was the last male of the name. Adjutant Gaston was physically exempt from military duty, but at the beginning of hostilities he volunteered as a private in an artillery company at Memphis, and remained there until his native State was threatened, when he returned and offered his services to her. He was a young gentleman of fine education, modest, intelligent, and brave. His death adds another to the long catalogue of our bravest and best young men, who have been cut off by this war." | GASTON, Hugh Jones (I4682)

| 21490 | Obituary, Kansas City (Missouri) Star, Sunday, Dec 14 1919, page 2A, in its entirety: GASSED 11 MONTHS AGO, DIES HORACE S. TUCKER WAS A FARRIER IN 129TH FIELD ARTILLERY Horace S. Tucker, 35 years old, 1940 North Fifth Street, Kansas Side, formerly a farrier in Battery B, 129th field artillery, died Friday night at Bethany hospital, on the Kansas Side, from the effects of gassing he suffered October 2, 1918, in the Argonne Forest. Tucker was cited by General Pershing. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Frank Fisher, with whom he lived, and Mrs. William Shafer of St. Louis. Funeral Services will be at 10 o'clock tomorrow from Long's chapel, Tenth street and Minnesota avenue, Kansas Side. The pallbearers will be former members of the battery. NOTE: According to family tradition, Horace Tucker understated his age in order to be accepted for military service. That could account for the incorrect age (he was actually 42) given in his obituary. Also according to family tradition, Horace had given his gas mask to a much younger soldier without one, reasoning that the other soldier deserved an opportunity to live a fuller life as he had. | TUCKER, Horace S.
