Lealie Edith Martin, second daughter of John M. and Catharine Martin was born in Union Twp, Parke County August 7, 1874. She departed this life Tuesday February 23, 1909 at age 34 years 6 months 16 days. Lealie grew up with exalted views of all that was noble and good. There was never a cloud to chase away the sunshine of her beautiful life. In the winter of 1885-86 when only  a little girl of 11 she united with the United Brethren Church at Farmer's Chapel where she lived a consistent member until in the year 1908 she removed her membership to the Missionary Baptist Church at New Discovery where she lived a devoted member until her death. She was united in marriage to Raric Collings March 3, 1892. To this union were born 8 children, all survive but an infant who died in 1907. Just in the morning of her life the Heavenly Father called her home to meet loved ones gone before. Truly her sun went down in the morning of her life and she fell asleep here on earth to awake in Heaven.  We call this dying but Christians do not die. They only go from one of God’s rooms to another for Christ has said, "In my father's house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you: I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am y may be also."  Lealie has only stopped living here in this world and has gone to live with Jesus in Heaven where there is no more pain, no sin, nor sorrow. She was a good neighbor, an affectionate wife and kind and loving mother, always taking great interest in her home life. A long lapse of time will pass before her visit to earth will be forgotten by father, mother, brother, sisters and especially by her children and by the many relatives and friends, who held her in such high esteem. Has Lealie's light gone out? No, it is only out here but beyond the grave is eternal light and life evermore.  It is brighter than ever.  It is blessed to shine here, but more blessed to shine in heaven. It can shine farther and brighter there. "For we know that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord."  She leaves a father, mother, two sisters, one brother, husband, seven children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss but their loss is her eternal gain.

MILLEMON

Lester,  son of George and Eva Millemon was born July 28, 1889.  He was a great  sufferer for nine weeks though he bore it with much patience and fortitude,  never murmuring or complaining being most of the time confined to his room.  His sweet disposition and correct habits of life made him a loving  and obedient son, always asking the advice of his parents. He was loved and respected by his schoolmates and all who knew him.  He peacefully passed  we believe into the bright and glorious beyond to be at rest with Jesus and to  away the coming of father, mother, one brother and two sisters. His departure  occurred July 4, 1907, aged 17 years 11 months 6 days.  Funeral services  were held at Parkeville church July 6 by Rev. E. E. Kuhn after which he was laid  to rest in the Mt. Moriah Cemetery. Pall bearers were his classmates. There  were many beautiful floral offerings among which was a beautiful pillow  presented by the Ladies Aid Society of the Parkeville church. He is gone but  not forgotten.
