Kilmer -- Samuel Odessa, youngest son of Daniel W and Frances Kilmer, was born in Marion Center, Kans, Jan. 31, 1885; died at the McMinnville, Oregon Hospital; aged 55 y, 4 m, 25 d.
On Jan. 31, 1908, he was united in marriage to Orva Sharer at Corcoran, Calif. To this union were born 2 sons and 7 daughters. One son and one daughter preceded him in infancy, one daughter at the age of 15 years in 1929.
He leaves his widow, one son, and five daughters (Mrs Melvin Mishler, Grand Ronde, Oreg; Mrs Kenneth Shenk, Mrs Calvin Yoder, Paul, Irene, and Arlene, all of Sheridan), nine grandchildren, three brothers (Thomas of Oronogo, Mo; Levi of Alba, Mo; and Amos of Ballston, Oreg), besides many other relatives and a host of friends.
He was a faithful and devoted husband and father, a man of good principles and high ideals. He united with the Mennonite Church at the age of 24 years and remained faithful and active till the end. He had a very deep concern for the spiritual welfare of his children, was an ardent lover of the truth as it is in Christ Jesus, and a staunch defender of the faith once delivered to the saints; especially zealous for the doctrinal position of the church, being often grieved at the prevailing drift and worldliness.
He was very hospitable and sympathetic toward the needy, ready to make great sacrifice for the comfort and help of those about him. The church, the home and the community greatly miss him. But we know he was ready to go. In his Bible II Tim 4: 6-9 was marked with special mark at "I am."
His sickness was of short duration but he suffered severely. On March 22 while at his work as usual he was suddenly taken with severe pain in his head, removed to the hospital and on the 26th a spinal tap and x-ray showed a blood clot on the brain. He remained in the hospital four weeks, after which he returned home seemingly on the road to recovery. Again on Jul 19 he was seized with another severe pain, again removed to the hospital on the 25th and on the morning of the 26th passed away. Services were conducted by Bros N A Lind, H A Wolfer, and D F Shenk. Burial at Sheridan, Oreg.
