Son of Isaac and Catherine Fry Redd
OBITUARY- ABRAHAM RED
Abraham Red- was born near Baltimore, Ohio, Fairfield County, Ohio, August 2, 1825, and departed this life January 17, 1905 age 79 years, 5 months, 15 days. He moved with his parents in early life to Perry County, Ohio, and on December 9, 1852 was united in marriage to Elizabeth Poling who still survives him.
This union was blessed with 8 children, 6 sons, and 2 daughters of whom 2 sons and one daughter preceded him to the spirit land. Leaving a bereaved widow, 4 sons, one daughter, 38 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren, and a host of neighbors and friends mourn his departure. He was converted and joined the M.E. Webb Chapel Church and remained a consistent member until about the year 1862 when he moved to his present home and was transferred to the Bethany U.B. Church at this place. He was an active and faithful member until his death. He served in different official capacities and was a trustee and a continous subscriber of the Telescope, the religious organ church for more than 40 years.
His hospitable home has stood ready for years to receive the minsters and other Christian workers where they always received a hearty welcome. He was confined to his bed for the last 7 weeks and his death did not come unexpectedly to his friends and the people, yet with what wait it comes pressing in upon us.
Father Red is gone, there is a vacant pew in the church, a vacant in the chair in the home, but the memory of his presence and or his wife's Council will ever be cherish. How easy it is that we say of one like him, that he was a good man. Of him such words do not come as a compromise of the conscience in this gently speaking of the dead, but come as the open truth and stand out as the whole truth without on to doubt.
Even in his ill health he never lost sight of his kindly spirit, never was heard to murmur or complain. What self-sacrifice, what a spirit of godliness must prevade the soul of such as he. Is it any wonder that when God called his spirit home that he slept away with no pain to wrack his frail body. But with happy smiles, sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, approach death like one who wraps the drapery of his couch.
