Abbott, Louisa Eskew
Oct. 19, 1923 Boonville Standard (from Otwell Star)

Louisa Abbott was born on the old Eskew homestead, northwest of Boonville, Warrick county, Indiana, Oct. 21, 1856, and passed away at her home in Otwell, Indiana, Friday morning, Oct. 5, 1923, aged 66 years, 11 months and 13 days. Mrs. Abbott was the only daughter of John and Sarah Eskew. Two brothers, William and Daniel, of Boonville, are living. On November 29, 1911, she was united in marriage to George Abbott, and came to Otwell to live. Being of a kind, helpful and neighborly disposition, she soon made a place for herself in the hearts of those among whom she had come to live and had many warm friends who grieve sincerely because this good woman has been called from our midst. In early life she was converted and united with the U.B. church. When she first came to Otwell, finding there was no church of her choice here, she placed her letter in the M.E. church, as she was unwilling to be without a church home. She was a true christian, living her faith daily and in the long, weary months of her intense suffering, she found peace and comfort in the sustaining love of her Master and was able to bear with patience and courage the heavy burden of pain by the grace that was hers. Though Mrs. Abbott had no children of her own, her mother instinct was great and she found expression for it in the tender care she bestowed upon the orphaned family of her brother. The wealth of motherly love that she gave to them was returned a hundredfold, for during her last illness they hurried to her bedside to minister to her and to be with her to the end, lavishing upon her a wealth of tenderness and love, equal to that she had given them. Together with the aged husband they are left sorrowing by the loss of one who was a real mother to them from earliest infancy. Though the circle Mrs. Abbott's life touched was not a very large one, because of her quiet, unassuming disposition, yet her influence was always for good and the lives hers touched have been made better and happier because she lived. Funeral services were conducted at the M.E. church Sunday afternoon, Oct. 7, at 2 O'clock by the Rev. James Hayden of Winslow and followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, the remains were laid to rest in the family lot at the I.O.O.F. cemetery.

Addington, Flora A.

Sept 24, 1920 Boonville Standard

"Gone but not forgotten--Flora Ann Addington was born July 21, 1887; departed this life Sept. 17, 1920, at the age of 88 years, 1 month and 27 days. She was united in marriage to Herbert Addington June 17, 1905. Their home was blessed with five children. She had a sweet, sunny disposition, a smile and kind word for every one and was loved by all who knew her. She was converted at the age of eleven years and joined Friendship G. B. church, and lived a Christian life until death. The greatest desire of her life was to promote the welfare of her church and family. She was a faithful wife, a true and faithful mother and a dutiful daughter; was willing at any time to sacrifice her happiness for the welfare of her loved ones. During the weeks of her affliction she bore her suffering patiently, putting her trust in her Savior. Her daily prayer was "Jesus, spare my life if it is Thy will to raise my family."

On Friday morning at five o'clock the silent one came to her bed and whispered "The Master has come and calleth for thee," and she slipped away from our tender embrace to see Jesus and dwell with Him."
Dead! Can she whose very presence gave light and joy be dead? Oh, when we think of that vanished hand and that loving voice forever stilled we look around the little cozy home, now all broken up, and see only the ashes of dead hopes, and say "She is dead". But when we remember her white, unspotted life, her great, loving, affectionate heart, her winning, lovable, noble character, we say "Nay, she is not dead but is asleep," while her soul has ascended to God. We wondered why she could not stay with us, but God knoweth best. When we are permitted to meet on that bright shore we will understand then. She leaves a kind and loving mother who gave her tender love and care all through her illness, also a husband and four girls, Fern, Alma, Ruth and Allison, also a little one-year old son, Guy. She also leaves to mourn her loss three sisters and one brother, C. E. Cabbott of Evansville, Mrs. J.W. Wilkerson of Boonville, Mrs. M.C. Schrader of Evansville and Mrs. K. D. Hatch of Cherokee, Iowa; also many other relatives and friends.

Precious loved one, you have left us. Jesus called, you had to go. We are left s sad and lonely; Why it was we do not know; But we know God in His wisdom Ever doeth what is best. In His arms of love he took you, Gently folded you to his breast. You have gone to be with Jesus In that home so bright and fair;
You will nevermore be parted, For there is not parting there. One dear soul was taken home Ere it was stained by sin. And Heaven to us seems nearer Since our loved one entered in. Often in our dreams we fold you To our hearts in fond embrace, But when we awake you are not here;  All around us is empty space, A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home That never can be filled."

"Guy Davis Addington, little son of Herbert Addington, departed this life Nov. 9, 1920, at the age of 1 year, 2 months, and 10 days.

Little Guy leaves a father and four sisters, Fern, Alma, Ruth and Alison; also a kind and devoted grandmother, who gave undivided attention to him through his illness. Little Guy had a winning smile for all who met him, and was loved by all."

Gilead church, but later, after her marriage, moved her membership with her family to Friendship and lived a faithful Christian until death.

Cappellar, Clarence H.
October 15, 1909 Boonville Standard

LAID TO REST - C.H. Cappellar, Prominent Business Man and Popular Citizen, Laid to Rest With Impressive Services - Brother Elks Do Honor To His Memory - The funeral services over the late C.H. Cappellar, who departed this life last Wednesday, September 15th, after a lingering illness of many weeks, were conducted by Ashland Lodge No. 944 B.P.O. Elks, of which deceased was an honored member, at the late home on North Main Street, Friday afternoon at three o'clock. In addition to the impressive service of the Order of Elks, Rev. Ward W. MacHenry delivered a short funeral service. The Elks quartette sang "Lead Kindly Light' and "Our Absent."
The remains were shipped to Atlantic, Iowa, the former home of the deceased, and were followed to the train by more than three score of his brother Elks. At. Atlantic, the funeral party was met by Atlantic Lodge No. 445 B.P.O. Elks, who performed the last sad rites at the grave. All stores and business houses in Ashland were closed from 2:30 to 4 o'clock p.m. as a mark of respect to the deceased.
Clarence H. Cappellar was born in Louisville, Kentucky, July 17, 1849. At the early age of nine years he began earning his own living, and the greater portion of the following fifty-three years of his life were spent in the dry goods and grocery business. He lived in Atlantic, Iowa, for many years immediately preceding his coming to Ashland in 1905. Soon after his arrival in Ashland, he formed a partnership with C.W. Nims in the grocery business, the firm enjoying the highest standing in business circles.
In November 1906, he was received into membership by Ashland Lodge No. 944 B.P.O. Elks, since when he ever proved himself a most worthy member of the order. Recognized by his brother Elks as a man peculiarly worthy of their confidence and trust, deceased had been named as one of the three trustees of Ashland Lodge No. 944, a position he held at the time of his death.
Probably no member of the lodge had a higher conception of the great principles of the order, or more faithfully lived up to his obligations. Indeed, it is said that he made the beautiful precepts of Elkdom his religion - a religion based upon the Golden Rule, the great foundation of all true religion.
But two short months before his death, Brother Cappellar was appointed a member of the condolence committee of Ashland Lodge of Elks, and that he should have been the first member of the lodge to fall into the last sleep after the naming of that committee, emphasized most pathetically the uncertainty of this life and lent poignancy to the sorrow of his brother Elks.
Whatever may be engraved upon the tomb of Brother Cappellar, let it be known that among the brothers who knew his devotion to the ennobling principles of the order, his uncarved epitaphwill be: He was an Elk.
- Valley Record, Ashland, Oregon - C.H. Cappellar grew from a small child to manhood in Newburgh and was a prominent merchant of that place during the early seventies. Many of our older citizens knew him quite well and will regret to learn of his death. He was a cousin of the present editor of the Enquirer.

Crawford, died of consumption, Oct. 29, 1879 at 5 o'clock and 15 minutes. She was 21 years, 2 months and 26 days old. After bidding husband and friends a last farewell, she closed her eyes to rest till God shall call her from her slumbers, telling friends, one and all, to meet her in heaven. Nannie, if I had thought thou couldst have died, I might not weep for thee. But I forgot when by thy side That thou couldst mortal be. It never through my mind had passed The time would ever be, That I on thee should look my last, And thou shouldst smile no more. If thou wouldst stay e'en as thou art, All cold and all serene,I still might press thy silent heart, And where thy smiles have been. While e'en thy chill, bleak corse I have, Thou seemest still my own; But there I lay thee in thy grave, And I am left alone. I do not think, where'er thou art, Thou hast forgotten me, And I perhaps may sooth this heart In thinking, too, of thee. For there was round thee such a dawn Of light ne'er seen before, As fancy never could have drawn, And never can restore. G.W.C.
