Rosina Gordner, nee Martel, was born on January 13th, 1838 in Rechtenbach, District of Bergzabern in the Palatinate, Southern Germany. Her parents were John Martel and Dorothy Martel nee Ebrhard, who surely have done their duty as parents in teaching our sister early the fear of the Lord, in watching over her education, in directing her youthful mind to the Holy Scriptures and her feet to the sanctuary.

In 1855, she came to this country and was married to Mr. Peter Gordner of Boonville, Ind. on September 1st, 1869. To this union were born 8 children, 5 of whom preceded their mother in death. In summer of 1893 she mourned the loss of her dearly beloved husband.
Up to the date of her departure she lived the life of the children of quietness, preparing for the great transition, which came so suddenly, but did not overtake her unawares. Just a few days ago she had remarked: "We must prepare for the emergency; I am ready at any moment." She spent the day before her death with her relatives in St. Charles Hotel seemingly in good spirits and in the evening retired apparently in ordinary good health. In the morning of January 27th she suffered from a severe attack of nausea; the physician, summoned to her bedside at once, could not however but realize that her end was approaching and gave advice that her children should be notified at once of her critical condition. She was not permitted to take leave from her beloved children; in the noon hour already she had breathed her last.
She leaves a son, Mr. Jacob Gordner of Paris, Ill., and two daughters, Mrs. Rosa Sophie Nettleton and Miss Emma Louise Gordner of Chicago, Ill., to mourn her loss.

Harmon, C. W.

July 17, 1914 Boonville Enquirer

Injuries sustained in a fall of only four feet caused the death of C.W. Harmon, age 50, a well-known farmer near Pelzer last Thursday. Harmon was working on a corn crib on the farm of Clinton Fisher when the accident occurred. He suddenly fell to the ground, striking on his head and face. Although he fell only four feet, his nose was broken and his forehead caved in. It is thought that Harmon was overcome by the heat. The accident happened at 9 o'clock that morning.

Funeral services were held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock at Bethany church, followed by interment in the church cemetery.

Mr. Harmon was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America.

Surviving the deceased is his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Clinton Fisher, Mrs. Oscar Axton, and four sons, Frank, Shirley, Allen and John.

The long and happy union of Mr. and Mrs Harmon was broken when death called the former nine years ago, since which time the wife has been awaiting the time when she, too, would be called above. She was converted when young and joined the Richland Baptist church. She lived a devoted Christian life. Besides her children, she leaves a brother, Wm. Carter; several grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and many friends. Her last days were her happiest days. Though physically weak she was spiritually strong and again and again shouted victory and praises to God.

Harmon, Myrtle

March 12, 1897 Boonville Enquirer

Again has the dark robed figure of death passed our neighborhood portals and carried away one whom all regretted to lose; Mrs. Myrtle Harmon, on Saturday morning at 4:00. She was a bright, joyous, lovable girl. The only child of Alvah and Lucinda Lowrance; their dearly loved and highly prized daughter Myrtle. She was 19 years and 14 days old, and was married to Charles Harmon, of Boon township the 29th of last November.

After two weeks of illness and suffering, hovering over the dark stream of death, seemingly held back by the care and hope of loving friends, she yielded to the absolute decree of death. Her young and bereaved husband, her family and friends, have the sympathy of us all in their bereavement.

She looked in death as if just fallen asleep, dressed in the robes she wore so recently as a bride. The funeral went from the Lowrance home to Townsend church, where the services were conducted by the Rev. Joseph Rawlins, with a large congregation of people, thence to the Center cemetery where she was interred.

We know that the Enquirer's columns have been eagerly scanned for weeks by far distant readers to learn of Myrtle's condition. The distress of the family was sad to witness, and, it is truly sad to realize that one so young, bright, joyous, just entering upon mature life with the most promising prospects before her should so suddenly be removed. But the gilded decree of the mansions of immortality flash back the signal light of assurance, that we shall be reunited with those who have preceded us to immortality. The ever flowing stream of life bears us steadily onward, some are thrown outward by the small rivulets, others are carried to a full stream of three-score and ten and beyond. But all must go over the dark river.
We were impressed with the quiet difinity and gentle undertaker, Mr. Shaffer. A large collection of beautiful and fragrant flowers was the last tribute of loving friends.

She spent her early life on the farm where she was born. She was converted, accepting Christ as her personal Saviour, while still in her youth and united with the Millersburg M.E. church.
She was united in marriage to Dr. W.A. Hewins in December 1878, and to this union was born three children. The oldest, Raymond, died at 8 years of age.

Hewins, Dr.
Boonville Standard - December 4, 1914

DR. HEWINS DEAD - Well Known Chandler Physician Passed Away at His Home Last Thursday
Dr. W.A. Hewins, son of William Henry and Matilda Hewins, was born on the old homestead near Paradise, Indiana, February 27, 1851, and died at his home in Chandler November 26, 1914, aged 63 years, 8 months and 29 days. His mother died when he was only sixteen years of age, at a time when he most needed a mother's advice and influence, but this did not seem to daunt his courage and ambition in life.
He grew to manhood on the farm, at the same time procuring an education from the common schools, and began teaching school at the age of 16 years. After teaching several successful terms of school he took up the study of medicine and graduated at Miami College at Cincinnati in 1878.
He was married to Miss Elizabeth Hay December 25, 1878. To this union were born three children: Raymond, who died at the age of eight years, Mrs. Ivy Broshears and Warren W. Hewins, both of this county.
Shortly after his marriage, he located at Millersburg, where he practiced medicine for two years, then moved to Chandler. He continued the practice of medicine until his death, covering a space of about 36 years. Coming to this community before it was cleared of the heavy timber, he was forced to travel mostly on horseback, following the trails and paths through the woods and sometimes swimming the swollen streams in order that he might administer to the sick and many times to relieve the needy and the suffering.
He professed faith in Christ and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church at Townsend when he was 15 years of age. After he came to Chandler, there being no church of his own, he labored with the Methodist people, helping them to build a house of worship and labored to build up the cause of Christ which he loved so well.
He remained a member of Townsend church until October 2, 1892, then transferring his membership to the Chandler Cumberland Presbyterian church, being a charter member of said organization. He was made ruling elder and elected clerk and treasurer, which office he held at the time of his death. He loved his church and enjoyed the services of God's house, saying many times it was the only time he could dismiss his mind from the very busy life that he lived and the many burdens of other people that he helped to bear. He fulfilled the words of our Lord and Master when he said "bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
Many times he would help others to bear their difficulties and cares when it was a detriment to his own welfare. He was a good advisor in all phases of life and had a word of hope and cheer for everyone that was down-hearted or discouraged in life.
While he spent a very busy life, yet he enjoyed his work and labor for his friends. He was a close student, getting a lesson from everything with which he came in contact, especially the things of nature.
In all the various conditions of life and characters with which he came in contact, his industrious, honest, kind and accommodating character won friendship from one and all.
The community has lost one of its best citizens, the church one of its most faithful members and advisors, and the family, a father and loved one whose place can never be filled.
He leaves a wife and two children, Mrs. F. G. Broshears and Dr. W.W. Hewins, both of this county; one grandchild, Charles Edward Broshears; one brother, Sherman Hewins; one sister, Mrs. Margaret Hall, both of this county; two half-brothers, Henry Hewins of Oregon and Dan Hewins of DeGonia, and one half-sister, Mrs. Phoebe Williams of Newburgh, besides many other relatives and friends.
The funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rev. John A. McLane, at the Cumberland church, in the presence of a large congregation of friends that gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to him whom they had learned to love. His body was laid to rest in the Chandler cemetery.

He was a very lovable child and until he took sick three weeks ago, was quite talkative and always ready to play. The greater part of the time during his sickness, he called for his momma almost continuously.
Sleep on in they beauty Thu sweet angel child, By sorrow unblighted, By sin undefiled. Like the dove so the ark
Thu hast flown to they rest, From the wild sea of strife To the home of the blest.

Again has the death shadow stolen across the threshold of a family in our midst and took the head of the family, Uncle Wm. Hewins, one of our aged citizens, aged 77 years.

Hickerson, Anna
Nov. 27, 1914 Boonville Enquirer

The passing of Anna Hickerson from the little open air cottage which loving hands had erected for her and where she had so bravely battled for life with the shadowy forces which slowly but surely undermined her strength, was, from one viewpoint, the culmination of a tragedy which had its origin one year ago in her initial illness. But to the Christian, her beautiful life, her sweet trust in and resignation to the Devine Will, her unselfishness and thoughtfulness for others to the last, seems one of God's loving messages to poor humanity. Her birthplace was in Cumberland county, Kentucky, near Cloyds Landing, from which her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Hickerson, moved while she was yet a tiny infant to Pleasantville, Pike county, this state. There her surviving brother, Radford and sister, Myrtle, were born and there eight of the nineteen years of Anna's life were spent at the end of which time the family changed to their present home near Boonville. She graduated from the eighth grade in her district and afterward from the Lockyear Business college, Evansville. Ambitious to a degree, her motto was "What Has Been Done May Be Done Again", and had her strength been equal to her courage, her world would have borne witness that she had proved its truth. Her teacher, in speaking of her said that he never knew anyone to possess greater firmness of purpose than she, and he recommended her as one of the best girls and most reliable pupils under his teaching. Naturally practical and self-reliant, she assumed responsibility at a young age, being dependable and capable. She was also religiously inclined, loving to read the bible when a child. Two years ago she went with her mother to visit in the vicinity of Blackfoot church, where special services were being held. One night after service, on retiring, she was thoughtful for a while, then spoke to her mother of the impression the sermon had made upon her. The next night she came forward and publicly accepted the Saviour, and though the weather was cold and mode of baptism immersion, she would not wait, but joined the church while there. She was conscious to the last and, though suffering greatly, urged her mother not to grieve and assured her that she would soon be at rest. She was surrounded with every comfort that could be devised or bestowed by a devoted family which, with grief wrung hearts, would have gathered her close and, if possible, even have denied her to the dark messenger himself. But is was not to be. God, alone, in His infinite love, knows why.

He was an energetic man, a devoted husband and father and a sympathetic comrade in the home. His cheerful and cordial greetings endeared him to a large circle of friends.
Mr. Hutchinson was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at the age of twenty-one, and was ever a consistent and earnest christian, always interested in the welfare of his church, which he served in many capacities, and served his community as an ever helpful neighbor, a lover of his fellow men, and a more than ordinarily successful veterinarian
He was ever brave and patient and loved the life his Maker had assigned to his lot, and died in the assurance of his acceptance with the Heavenly Father. At first, he rather clung to life and wished for strength, but later had full resignation to the Father's will.
Two sisters, Mrs. Josephine Jarrett and Mrs. Martha Harter of this county, survive him; one sister, Mrs. Amira Sprinkle and one brother, Moses Wales Hutchinson, having preceded him to the great beyond, the brother being called only two months ago.

Early in life, he was converted to God, and united with the Methodist Episcopal church which he served faithfully, much of the time being a leader in its different departments.
He ever exhibited a brave and patient spirit which marked his whole life. He was sunshiny and jovial in disposition and ever charitable in his thought and words. He maintained a beautiful faith in the goodness of God, with whom he was in daily communion, feasted on the Gospel and comforted himself often by singing the old hymn of the church. He was ever quiet and unassuming but loyalty, itself, in the home, the church and the community.
He leaves one brother, Frank P. Hutchinson, three sisters, Mrs. Josephine Jarrett and Mrs. Martha Harter of this county and Mrs. Mary Mills of Texas, one sister, Amira Sprinkle, having preceded him to the great beyond.
Although we had strewn flowers along his path during lifetime, the many floral offerings showed the last deed of love and respect of loved ones and friends to one who will be sadly missed. A noble, true life has been crowned, and he has gone in peace to experience the glory of eternal life.

His life was one of obedience to his parents, fidelity to his home and devotion to the service of his fellow men where and when duty called.
For a long time before his death he realized that the chances for life were against him, yet with that calm serenity and dignity that had always marked his disposition he met the approaching end without faltering or fear. So on the first day of July, 1915, he heard the voice of the great Physician saying: "Well done; come up higher."
"And to him in a holier welcome
Was the mystical meaning given
Of the words of the blessed Master:
Of such is the kingdom of heaven."

They were both faithful and zealous members of the German M.E. church and were founders of Zoar congregation. It may be said of her that she was a faithful and devoted wife, a kind and loving mother and a good neighbor. Than this, no higher tribute can be paid to womankind. "Weep not that toils are over, Weep not that her race is run, God grant we may rest as calmly, When our work, like hers, is done. Till then we yield with gladness, Our mother to Him to keep, And rejoice in sweet assurance, He giveth His loved one sleep."

Ketcham, C. Ebert
May 22, 1925 Boonville Standard

The sad news came to relatives and friends in this county that Rev. C. Ebert Ketcham had died at his home in Banning, Cal., April 28. He had been in failing health for many years but hopes had been entertained for a restoration to health. Just a few weeks before he died, he was making his plans for the summer and his death came as a surprise to his family. Ebert was born and grew to manhood near old Fletcher chapel, and was converted in that church and united with it in early boyhood. He was a successful teacher in the public schools for many years, and dearly loved the work, but later left it for that higher calling, a minister of the gospel. He was united in marriage to Florence Jarrett soon after entering the ministry and they together labored faithfully in leading souls to that "everlasting peace" until his strength failed. To this union three children were born, Charles, Lolan and Sarah Ruth, who, with their mother, survive. Ebert and family went to many different climates to find health. Though he was often strong enough to continue in his beloved work, he never regained his health. The bereaved family was much comforted in its loss by the many kind expressions of neighbors and friends. A great profusion of California's choicest flowers were banked about his bier, proving the high esteem of the people of Banning, and the words of praise that came from the lips of their pastor in his eulogy but voiced the thoughts of the many friends there. Funeral services were held at the M.E. church in Banning Monday, April 24, after which interment took place in the cemetery there.
