OBITUARY
---
John Nelson Thomas was born in what is known as the "Little Brown" district, and would have completed his 68th year the 30th day of this June. He lived close by this neighborhood and among his boyhood associates throughout all his days.
In 1882 he was united in marriage to Mary Ann Chambers. To them three children were born – Ambert of Van Wert, Mrs. R.G. Brower of Columbus, and Mrs. C.E. Floyd of Lewisburg, all of whom are living; besides these there are six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. In 1918 he and the children suffered the loss of this faithful companion and devoted mother.
In 1920 he was again united in marriage to Mrs. Laura Smith of Verona, Ohio. Nine ensuing years of mutual faithfulness and devotion was provided and shared by both, until our Lord beckoned, "Come, thy work has been well done." Our grief in the loss of his companionship will be mellowed by the precious memories of his eager counsel and devotion to the ones near and dear to him.
Yea, as the coming days will call us to the work yet to be done, grief will find no place as our hearts will be filled with joy and thankfulness as we think of the wonderful days of his presence. Consolation is found in the though that each of the coming days will cut short his absence.
He so lived, and worked that those who still live to cherish his memory are proud to open page by page, his book of life.
Peace sweet peace, be unto his soul evermore.
------
We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to neighbors and friends for the many kindnesses shown us during our bereavement.
The Family.
