As the second day of April 1927 peacefully slipped away so went the life of another Jackson Township pioneer citizen. Sandy A. CARMICHAEL, a son of Reuben and Micca Jane CARMICHAEL, was born May 18, 1856, in Center Township, near Cincinnati.

He departed this life at his home near Old Clifty church April 2, 1927. He was therefore seventy years ten months and fourteen days.

His entire life was spent near his birthplace. He was married to Sarah C. HUDSON about forty-nine years ago, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Martin C. FULK. To this union was born twelve children, four of which died in infancy. Anther died in childhood and one was accidentally killed by a falling tree. He leaves to mourn their loss, Martin Luther, of Lyons; Frank, of Switz City; Harley, of Owensburg; Mrs. Francis CORBIN, of Switz City; Mrs. Dolly HUDSON, of Owensburg; Mrs. Stella Mae TURPEN, and the aged companion and mother at home; eleven living grandchildren, three brothers and many other relatives and friends. Three brothers and three sisters preceded him in death.

Sandy as he was commonly known among his neighbors and friends was converted to the Christian faith at Richland church under the ministership of Martin C. FULK. He joined the Baptist church and took part in the work of all churches. He remained consistent in the faith until the end and found great pleasure in reading and studying the Bible.

His going only reminds us that in a few days all that breathe must share his destiny. This scene makes our thoughts drift back to those of the poet, who said, "So live, that when thy summons comes to join the innumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death."

The funeral was preached at the Old Clifty church in Jackson Township last Monday afternoon, by Rev. SKINNER. Interment in the Mood cemetery.

We desire to thank our many friends for their kindness in our sad bereavement, in the loss of our beloved husband and father.
