   Farewell to my sisters and brother,
To my friends and companions so dear;
This world is a wilderness wild
To the Christian – naught in it to cheer.
The storms of this life are all o’er,
I have prayed to the God I have loved,
Then meet me, oh, meet me on that blessed shore,
In that glorious mansion above.
   No anger, henceforward, or shame,
Shall redden this innocent clay,
Extinct is the animal flame,
And passion is vanished away.
This anguishing head is at rest,
Its thinking and aching are o’er;
This quiet immovable breast, Is heaved by affliction no more.
   The lids she so seldom could close,
By sorrow forbidden to sleep,
Now sealed in their mortal repose,
Have strangely forgotten to weep.
The fountains can yield no supplies;
These hollows from water are free;
The tears are all wiped from these eyes,
And evil they never shall see.

   Oft, along the busy street,
Sad and tearful mourn ra?g?;
Mothers for their children weep –
Weep that death has laid them low.
Nipped the buds before their bloom,
Hid them in the silent tomb.

The body of Zenos Loder, aged 72 years, was found frozen in the snow near Broadway Station, Salem county, on Tuesday, by his son, Edward Loder.  Loder and his son have been living in a little two-story house that had been abandoned a few years ago and were very poor, depending much upon the neighbors for their subsistence.  Last Saturday the old man started with his horse to borrow a wagon from a nearby neighbor named Coe, intending to visit a relative in Bridgeton.  He never reached Coe’s residence, having perished within two hundred yards of his own home in the snow storm that was raging at the time.  The son found the horse running loose about two hours later, but made no effort to find his father.  On Monday he met Coe while out gunning and inquired if he had seen anything of his father.  Receiving an answer in the negative he instituted a search that resulted in finding his father’s body the next day, frozen stiff in a snow drift.

Ridout and interment was made in Union Cemetery.  The floral offerings from family and friends, attesting the high esteem in which the deceased was help, were many and beautiful.

Died Unrepentant and Defiant
DECATUR, Ills, March 16 – W. H. Crawford, Jr., was hanged here at 11:15 a.m.  The drop was five fee and his neck was broken by the fall, death being instantaneous.  The wound inflicted by himself in his throat was torn open.  Crawford walked to the gallows with a wonderful show of indifference, and as the rope was placed around his neck he drew himself up to his full height.  He declined to make a statement and refused to be baptized, dying unrepentant and defiant.  The crime for which Crawford was hanged was the murder of Mr. Lina Mathias on Aug. 30, 1890.  He induced her in some way to accompany him to a lonely field and there cut her throat.  Crawford was arrested on suspicion and, after making an attempt to kill himself, confessed that he had killed Mrs. Mathias, saying that he loved her.
