Orland Richmond, son of Mr ad Mrs John Richmond, near the age of thirteen, departed this life March 10, 1912. Funeral services at the residence of his parents on Beech Run, Brooklin, W Va, March 11, at 2 o'clock pm, conducted by Rev Northen. He leaves a father and mother; seven sisters and two brothers, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. He was kind and gentle of disposition and continued so under the most trying afflictions. Through his awful suffering on account of his heavy misfortune, he had to pay the debt that would have been sweet to him weeks ago, but weep not; our loss is his eternal gain. Yet it seems quite hard that one so young, just in the bloom of life, so useful, so ambitious, and never losing an opportunity to lend a helping hand or a kind word for the encouragement of others should be called away but that fairest flowers that bloom in summers, only blooms to fade away. A large gathering of people was present coming from afar to testify their love for the good boy. His remains were laid to rest in the family grave yard near his home, to await the blast of the trumpet signalling the great rising and crowning day.
