CLENDINEN, William E. Obituarty

DIED. In this town, on Monday morning last, William E. Clendinen, aged 14 years. The death of this interesting youth adds another to the multitude of proofs with which the world is filled, that the best and purest die young. Although a mere child in years, and suffering constantly from the effects of a painful malady, he had by his manly virtues already accured the esteem of all who knew him; and the thoughtful consideration and filial interest he always manifested in the welfare of his widowed mother, were the theme of universal commendation. It might well be said of him, "None knew him but to love him, None named him but to praise." May he who "tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" sustain his afflicted parent in her sorrow, with that strength which comes only from his grace, and with those hopes which only his promises can inspire.

His remains were deposited in the grave yard on the farm of the Late John Bing, Esq., in Addison township, where they were followed by numerous friends and relations, and interred with Masonic rites.

The deceased was a native of the State of Massachusetts, where he resided until his twenty-third year, during which time he served as a soldier in the State Line called to quell "Shay's Insurrection." He emigrated to the Northwest Territory in 1793 and landed at Marietta with Wayne's troops, and for several years resided there and at Belpre, part of which time he was fortified, with other inhabitants, to protect themselves from the Indians. About the year 1802 he came to what is now Gallia County, and located on the bank of the Ohio river, at the eight mile Island, where he married and raised a large and respectable family of children.

The deceased was among the pioneers and first settlers of the county, when all was rude and wild, and lived to see "the wilderness bud and blossom as the rose." Although the deceased lived to a "green old age" before the fell monster Death summoned him to his court, it should not flatter any that their term of probation will be thus long extended; but should serve to admonish that the "King of Terrors" is sweeping the earth with a beasom of destruction; for "Joseph died and all his brethren, and all the men of that generation." [Gallipolis Journal, (Gallipolis, Oh.), April 6, 1854]

Departed this life on Tuesday, the 24th ult., Moses McCarley, in the 54th year of his age.

Mr. McCarley had been a faithful and exemplary member of the Presbyterian church from the time of its organization, 22 years ago. The church and community as well as his family will feel deeply bereaved by his death, but "mark the perfect man and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace." Such were the last hours of our departed friend. "I know that my Redeemer liveth," were almost the last words that fell from his faultering tongue.

WILLIAMS, John D. Obituary

Died, on the 3d ult., in Abingdon, Jefferson county, Iowa, of billious fever, John D. Williams, in the 51st year of his age, formerly of Gallia county, Ohio, where he had been an acceptable member of the Methodist Episcopal church for the period of twenty-four years. He emigrated to Iowa last April, and in August he with two of his sons were taken sick at the same time. His sickness was short but painful, which he bore without a murmur or complaint, and his death was unexpected and sudden. When asked what they should do for him he said---"take care of the boys, the Lord is good to me and will take care of me." He was insensible a few hours before his death, which prevented him from giving such directions and council to his family as doubtless he otherwise would have done. He has left a wife and large family to mourn and weep the irreparable loss of a kind husband, father and wise counselor. Let sympathizing friends pray that this heavy and afflictive stroke may be sanctified to their good. The secret things belong to God, but things revealed to us.
