The Hand of Death.
Again has death entered a home in
our midst and  summoned   therefrom
a beloved husband and  father,   and a
citizen,   friend  and brother,    whose
death casts a    gloom over the  entire
community,    and]   causes a   vacancy
which cannot   well be filled.   Samuel
R. Crittenden, whose death it becomes,
our painful duty to here chronicle, was
born on the old Crittenden homestead,
in Pittsfield   township, August 25th,
1847. He was bne of a family of thirteen
children, and bis parents were of that
staunch   pioneer stock from     which
have sprung   many of  our  able men
of to-day, and the   early   training of
their family was of  that wholesome,
practical nature then more prevalent.
They believed in a good education, and
Samuel,   after attending .the  district
school, while   quite  young, was also
given a two years course   at the State
Normal at   Ypsilanti,  and   a  short
cOurse at an Ann  Arbor business co -
lege.    Though   well   qualified  for a
professional or business  life, be chose
the farm.   On February  21st, 1866, he
was uaited iu marriage with  Mary E.
Lay, his   now  surviving widow, and
they settled down in life on the farm
that has ever  since been their home,
and which by years of industry, frugality and good management they converted into one  of the   ideal    farms
and homes af this section.   Four children came  to   bless and cheer    their
home.   One died in infancy, and three,
one daughter, Mrs. E. D.  Walker, of
Bluffton, Ind., and   two sons, Vincent,
of Ann Arbor, and Lloyd,   who is still
at home.    Home was to him the most
cherished   place   on  earth,    and few
homes there are where loye and peace
reigned *so supreme.   In   educational
matters he was^ ever foremost,   devoting his influence and means to furthering its interests.   For years   he performed official duties  in Ihis ^district,
though he declined other offices tendered him.   He took active  interest in
political matters  and was a life-long,
staunch-Republican, but was ever op -
posed to anything in politics not   eon-
sistant  wilh true, manly,     Christian
principles.   He was a friend of social,
fraternal and business associations,"and
was an   active  member   of   several,
among them the Ancient Order, United
Workmen, Knights Ot the Maccabees,
and Saline Farmers Club.    He held at
the time of his death the office ot commander of Acme Tent K.  O. T. M. and
was a   nornini'B   for   re-election.   To
him tho Tunt owes  much, as he    was
udtiricg in his  efforts  to  further   its
interests.   Ia     the    Saline    Farmers
Clnb, too, he will be greatly miest-dr It
was seldom he failed to attend a  meet-:
ing-, and as its presi dent or as a member in the ranks, he was ever active in
making those gatherings pleasant, instructive and profitable.   But nowhere
except in his  own home circle will he
be more  sadly   missed than    in    the
church.   At the age of sixteen years,
while attending school at Ypsilanti, he
united with the Presbyterian  church
of which he was ever au active, faithful
member,   proving by word   and deed
the precepts of    faith    and brotherly
love.   He was for   years an   official of
the church  of  this place, in   which
capacity he always displayed bis ability as a leader and good  counsellor,
his aim ever being to   preserve peace
aud harmony, even at a sacrifice ot personal interests.    He   possessed   that
happy faculty of always  knowing what
to say and what   to do,  bridging over
difficulties that appeared  discouraging
to others less hopeful  or  determined,
and   avoiding discord   by his kindly
suggestions and counselling.   When
the question of building a new   church
came before the society he was its enthusiastic   supporter,    and later   as
chairman of the building committee
did more to bring Che project to a successful ending than seemingly any other man could have done.    It was here
that the writer first really learned to
know him, learned his sterling qualities by being brought   more closely in
contact with him. " The church  to-day
stands as a monument to his untiring
energy   and   sacrificing     spirit.   He
cheerfully sacrificed his own interests
and devoted time aud means to further
ing the welfare of the society, proving
by his acts that his heart was in    the
work.   As the edifice neared completion he   looked   forward  with    great
pleasure to tho time when it should be
dedicated and used for   worship,  and
it seems particularly and that just as
that time approached he was stricken
dpwn with sickness, .doubtless largely
caused by his energetic nature   which
prompted him to exert   and   expose
himself beyond his physical endurance.
His illness began about three week s
previous to his   death, caused by his
contracting a severe cold which developed into  pneumonia, and later ca m-
plication of the heart  and bowels set
in.   He bore his  sufferings with that
Christian faith and fortitude so characteristic of the man, but seemed to
realize almost from the first   that his
end was near.   He expressed    great
solicitude for the care and anxiety his
sickness caused   his loving wife and
family, and doubtless never permitted
them  to  fully realize  his sufferings
Everything that loving   hands could
do was done, but it seemed to be  he
will of the Supreme Ruler   that his
labors here on earth should   end and
he be called to his final reward beyond
and he peacefully passed away'on the
morning of the[23rd.   The funeral was
held Monday at the home, his  pastor,
Rev. T. B. Leith, conducting the service, which was very brief, it having
been decided to  hold a memorial service at the church on Sunday next—
only a fervent prayer and a few words
by the pastor, and some sweet music
by the Mozart Male Quartette, and the
funeral    cortege     proceeded   toward
Oakwook    cemetery,   a    very  large
number-of sympathizing   friends and
neighbors by   their  presence paying
tribute to the memory of the beloved
dead.   At the grave  the Knights   of
the Maccabees  assumed charge, Past
Commander,   D. A. Bennett, assisted
by   other Sir Knights,  rendered  the
brief but impressive burial service of
the order, and the earthly remains of
a beloved brother were   consigned to
their final resting place'in mother earth
Besides  the    faithful,    loving wife
and   children   named,   four   brothers
and two sisters survive   the  deceased,
who, together with  his  many,   many
friends'will ever cherish his    memory.

Trying.
There are some cases in -which a musical ear causes its possessor a deal ot
discomfort.
"I supose you heard Squire Sampson's daughter's voice pretty loud in
the hymns, my dear?" eaid Parson Fay'
inquiringly to his wife at the close of
the morning service.
"Mr. Fay," replied his wife, while a
faint flush rose to her cheeks, "I suppose Arabella thinks she is praising the
Lord when she sings, and far be it for
me to say that she doesn't, but I must
say that it's all I can do to praise Him
at the same time."
Yellow Jaundice Cured
suffering humanityshouldba supplid with
every means possible for its relief. It is
with pleasure -we publish the following;
"This is to certify that I was a terrible
sufferer from Yellow Jaundice for over six
modths. and was treated by some of the
old physicians in our city and all to no
avail. Dr. Bell, our druggist, recomended
Electric Bitters; and after taking two bottles, I was entirely cured. I now take
reat pleasure in recommending them to any
person suffering from this terrible malady.
I am gratefully yours, M. A' Hogarty, Lexington Ky." Sold by Lister & Sheeder
