BUTLER COUNTY'S EIGHTY YEARS BIOS

FAITH MARIE LOOMIS

(Transcribed by Lori DeWinkler)

Joseph A. Morris was one of the finest type of citizens who have given Butler County its strength and its character. He had lived here for almost fifty years, pouring into every community in which he made his residence the essence of a clean, upright, useful personality. He radiated integrity and rectitude. His judgment was sound and considerate and his soul was filled with kindliness for his fellow men. He reared a family of stalwart sons who are filling places of usefulness and who reflect high credit upon their breeding and upbringing. Mr. Morris performed his tasks honestly and worthily every day and rounded out a wholesome existence that ever will be remembered gratefully and reverently.—October, 1934.

The loss to Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Loomis of their infant daughter is one in which this town will share. The death of a child—however young—always floods with sympathy the hearts of fathers and mothers, who have known the tender experience of tip-toeing into a dim-lighted chamber to see if roguish eyes are closed at last beneath rose-hued lids or to listen breathlessly for the sound of tiny breathing. So the return this morning of Faith Marie Loomis to God’s glorious vastness from which she so lately came, has brought a genuine sorrow to hundreds who never beheld her features—but who have felt in her passing, like a brush of angels’ wings, one fragrant breath of heaven’s morning.
