Springs Valley Herald (January 31, 1929) Obituary
Alma Etta, youngest daughter of Amos and Margaret Weaverm was born August 22, 1909, departed this life January 22, 1929, at the age of nineteen years and five months.
Almas was a very kind, loving and dutiful daughter. Truly it can be said of her that she was kind and always considerater of her relatives and friends. Her unselfish attitude can not be greater exemplified than by the patience and kindness with which she endured her long illness. Although an invalif for years she was always cheerful. Her sunny disposition, her ever welcome smile, and the gracious manner with which she received the small favors of her friends and relatives will never be forgotten.
Alma was united with the Christian Church at French Lick in September 1919 and was baptized during the pastorship of N. L. Collins. Alma was a regular attendant of her church and Sunday School as long as her health would permit. When her health began to fail in 1925, she entered the Rockville Sanitarium at Rockville, Indiana in hopes of regaining her health.
During her illness, while there she was alway thoughtful of her church and Sunday School of which she often wrote and asked of her friends. Recently, when asked by a friend in regard to her soul, Alma promptly replied that she was ready to go. When asked if she prayed she replied that she never prayed aloud, but often prayed in secret. Surely, the prayers of this christian girl were not in vain for in Matthew 6th chapter and 6th verse we find: "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet and wneh thou hast shit thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shal rewad thee openly."
Alma's life was an example to be so young, of one of the most beautiful christian characters. Truly, her life should be a model one for her many friends and relatives.
She leaves to mourn her departure, a mother and brothers and sisters, Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Estel Weaver and Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Crowder, and a host of other friends and relatives, her father having preceded her to that great beyond January 17, 1918. Submitted byTom Agan.

Springs Valley Herald (April 18, 1929) Autobiography
I, Volney Trimble, was born on January 9, 1855. My father was James Trimble, my mother was Emily Willyard Ketner Trimble. My grandfathers were Moses Trimble and Daniel Willyard. My grandmothers were Mary Bessie Trimble and Mary Ledford Willyard.
On February 15, 1877 I married Anna Snipes. Our children were James J. (jr.), Dessie F., Ora A., Bex A., Sampson O., Rufus A., Emma Belle and Scott S. Trimble. All to this date, March 14, 1924, but Dessie F. and Ora A., are living.
I went into the Church of Christ on sixth day of May, 1877, at Liberty. Soon after that I cast my little lot at Briner Springs; have seen it flourish at times, then die at last.
My old neighbors and friends, I have been with you a long while, but the parting must come. I have worked with you and tried to work for you. My imperfections were in abundance; I made many mistakes. You and I being human alike, let's forgive each other for whatever offense may have come. I feel like now, near the sunset of life, I have among you some warm friends. I feel like I need you while I live, but you can do without me. And, as I will soon be out of your way, I pray, if I have damaged you in any way, will you please forgive me.
To you among whom I have hone preaching: we passed over some years and hills. I left my work, my interest at home and the family, to try in my weakness to reach your place and fill my appointment. I, no doubt, made failures in attempts to preach. I may have pleased some, but I have met severe criticisms not only of some outside the Church, but of some brethren; and it may have been deserving.
Now I am out of your way. I will not impose on you again. I cannot ask you to feed by old faithful horse that used to carry me through mud and slush. I have stayed my last night in your home, eaten my last dinner with you, and must say my last good-bye now.
To my children - the 5 sons and a daughter: we are a broken family and I cannot recall to see you all back at the old home again. You went out to do business for yourselves. I tried four long years to hold the old homestead after your mother died. I could not avoid the sadness of her, and you all hone, me in solitary loneliness and a hundred times in tears. Did you ever think of me? No doubt you did. I could in my imagination hear your little feet as you prattled over the floor, but it was only in the good old days that were gone. I was sad and alone! Try to hope, children, that I am gone to a Better Home. will you try to meet me in the Better Land? God in his rich provision has paved a way for us to go to the Better Land. Off of that paved way we are treading on very unholy ground! One Savior, one Body (His Church), one Bible, one law of entering this one Church, one law of living in His Church, The Church on earth is Christ's body (here now). When we get into Christ's body we are in Christ. In the Body is the blood of Christ; in the Body is the Spirit. Of we are out of Christ and his Body we are out of any promise of being saved.
Now this is not my sophistry; this is Paul. See. Col. 1:18-24, Eph. 5:24. With these facts before us, take warning what you connect yourselves with! Christ built his Church: other people built theirs. But let Christ have your preferences, praise and prayers in all you think and do.

Added After His Departure. - On November 3, 1927 he was united in marriage to Clara F. Nevitt. They spent a short, but happy life together. She and the children survive. His last illness was if short duration, having taken ill night of February 27. His condition soon becoming serious, he was rushed to St. Edwards Hospital, March 4, where he underwent very serious operation from which he seemed to rally for a time, but, becoming dangerously ill, Wednesday night, he passed away Thursday at 3:30 p.m., aged 74 years, a month and 26 days. All that loving hands could do for him was done throughout his illness; but God, who does all things best, thought best to call him to a Better Home.
Dear Husband and Father, O how we will miss you from among us, your dear face no more on earth to see! But we mourn not as those who have no hope, for we know that you (like Paul) fought a good fight and kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for you a Crown of Righteousness which the Lord (the Righteous Judge) shall give you in That Day, also to all them who love the Lord's appearing. And we, dear one, will try to meet you in a Better Land where death and sorrow will never come, where there will be no more pain or crying, for God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes, and we shall live in a home of Eternal Bliss and Happiness throughout Eternity.
Funeral at Moores Ridge, conducted by Elder Omer Porter; body laid to rest till the Resurrection. Mrs. Trimble. Submitted by Tom Agan.

Springs Valley Herald (April 18, 1929) Obituary
The portals of Heaven have again been opened to us, its celestial glories drawn earthward, and through the mist of our tears, we again look to Him in whose presence our loved and our lost, she whom we so much loved as our Mother and our friend, now abides.
In bringing this new vision to us, death has entered our home, our church and our community, and has taken from us one of our own, Arvilla Elveree Marlette. She was the daughter of Benoni and Nancy Wolfington and was the wife of Jonathan E. Marlette, and to them was born four children, viz: Paul of Marion, Indiana; Alta McBride of Tracer, Iowa; Glen of West Baden, Indiana; and Banks of Chicago, Illinois.
At an very early age she heeded the call of the Master and dedicated her life to the service of her Master, becoming a member of the Christian Church. Henceforth her life was consecrated to her Master's praise and she ever sought and found refuge in His arms of boundless love and kindly grace. And when came the hour of her transition from this world of pain and sorrow to that realm of eternal bliss, on Tuesday, April 9, 1929, she faltered not, but calmly lay down by life's pathway, and using the burdens of her Christian life for a pillow, she fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses down her eyelids still, to awaken only at the coming of the blessed resurrection angels call.
With the sorrowing husband, who must feel this loss most heavily and these sons and daughter, who had so loved Mother, there remains three brothers, Elsworth, Woody and John Wolfington, all of French Lick. With you, these many friends here assembled mourn to bid adieu to this beloved friend, who you and we have so loved and have lost her companionship.

Springs Valley Herald (May 2, 1929) Sunny Farm News (South Liberty)
The death of Alex Rogers while on a health sojourn in Azusa, California with his son, Hugh, brought a deep gloom over the community around South Liberty, at which place Mr. Rogers had lived all his life excepting two visits to California. He was a noble citizen, an excellant neighbor and a faithful member of the Church of Christ. Barring his stay in California, we think he had not been absent from church more than five Lord's Days at South Liberty church service, when it was reasonable for him to attend, in the last nine years. We deeply sympathize with those who lament his almost untimely death, and will keep his mane in christian rememberance.

Springs Valley Herald (May 9, 1929) Obituary
Alexander Rogers, son of Hugh and Mary Rogers, was born in Orange County, Indiana, July 22, 1873. God called him to his reward April 22, 1929 at the age of 56 years and nine months. All of his life was spent as a framer in the immediate community of his birth where he is widely known among his many friends.
He was married to Lucy J. Lane January 16, 1896. To this home five children were born, three daughters and two sons, namely: Marie M. Beatty, Zoe Kearby, Geneva R. Clay of French Lick, Guy E. of Indianapolis and Hugh T. of Los Angeles, California.
For several months he had been in failing health and a few weeks ago went to his son, Hugh, in California thinking the change of climate would be helpful to him. This proved to be of no value and at dawn, on Monday morning April 22, he passed away at a Los Angeles Hospital.
He was converted at an early age and was baptized in the faith of the Church of Christ at South Liberty where he was a faithful member. He served as deacon for many, many years and was never absent, but very few times the past years and then only when sick or called away from home to help someone in trouble.
The community has lost a good citizen. The weather was never too bad nor the distance to far, for him to go to administer to the sick and the suffering. A good man is gone. The home, community and church will miss him.
We cannot know or understand God's plans, but our faith gives us insight into the future and confidence to believe that this kind and loving father and husband who has made his home here one of paradise for his loved ones, has gone to prepare for them an eternal home where moth and rust cannot corrupt.
As he loved and adored his grandchildren he now stands waiting with outstretched arms to receive all who follow in grandfather's footsteps.
Even to his last days, you friends here at South Liberty were in his thought, which fact is proven by this letter which was found in his purse after death. This letter in one full of good advise and thought for his relatives and many friends here.

"I just want to say a few words in my weal and stammering way. I was just thinking as I came to Liberty this morning about my associates and school mates of thirty-five or forty years ago. Where are they today? Some are sleeping just out there, some in other parts of this land, some have moved out of this neighborhood, but few are left in the neighborhood of Liberty and I was wondering what would be the condition of things at Liberty thirty-five or forty years from this time, if time should last that long. And I was thinking too that some of us are nearer eternity than we think. I think that whatever I do for my own soul's salvation and that of others, I must do soon, for in the grave to which we are all hastening, there is no work. I want to live so that at whatever time or on whatever way I may be called to leave this earth, that I may be prepared. Christ said, "Be thou faithful until death and I will give thee a crown of Life." So that is what I want you people here at Liberty to do, just be faithful until death. I hope and pray that you people will go right on with your Bible School and Lord's Day meetings and set the good example before the young and rising generation that they will follow in your footsteps and the good work will be kept up here just as long as time shall last.
I am going to ask the good brethren and sisters to pray for me that I may be faithful until death. I may never be permitted to meet with you again here at Liberty. I hope I will sometime, but life is so uncertain and death is so sure, so if I am never permitted to meet with you here again, I hope to meet with you in a better and a brighter world than this."

He leaves to mourn his departure four sisters, one brother, a devoted wife, two sons, three daughters, two son-in-laws, three granddaughters, a grandson and a host of relatives and friends. His mother, father, one brother and two sisters preceded him to the city Beautiful.
