DEATH'S HARVEST

DISHMAN

Dana DISHMAN, son of J. E. and Phereby E. DISHMAN, died September 14 at the age of about fifty years. He was married to Amanda J. MILLER about twenty-seven years ago and to this union five children were born. A daughter, Maude preceded him to rest, while the wife and four sons, Eric, Claude, Casie and Chester and four step-children, Charles, Harvey and Virgil Miller and Mrs. Maude SHANKLIN are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father and husband. He was a member of the Church of Christ and tried to live a righteous life. The last words he spoke were, "I am resting in sweet repose," which followed a prayer. He had gone to work as usual and returned about 9:30 o'clock complaining of being very sick at the stomach, saying that if he did not get relief soon he would die. A doctor was immediately summoned but he died before the physician arrived. Neighbors were called but death had claimed its victim before any of them reached the home. Mr. DISHMAN was a father to his stepchildren who appreciated his affection for them and they cannot find words to express their sorrow at the loss of him.
