S. O. SLATER
Solomon Oliver Slater, eldest son of G. W. and Mary Wenner Slater, was born on the family homestead near Adamsville, Muskingum county, Ohio, on March 10, 1852, and departed this life on February 7, 1925 at his home near Russell, Iowa, after a lingering illness of five years from arteriosclerosis, and death was hastened by a stroke of apoplexy on Feb. 3, 1925. At the time of his death he was 72 years, 10 months and 27 days of age.
He grew to manhood in the vicinity of Adamsville, where he taught in the public schools of Muskingum county, Ohio for a period of eleven years.
On December 26, 1878 he was united in marriage to Sarah Ruth Hanks. To this union four children were born: Miss Mary Day Slater, of Des Moines, George Ray, of Russell, Mrs. Elba Sikes, of Stevens Point, Wisc., and Clarence Paul, of West Liberty, Iowa.
Mr. Slater, with his young wife, established the present home near Russell, on March 17, 1881. He never faltered on the rugged highway of life nor sought an easy road, but always carried his own burdens, solved his own problems, and brought to a successful issue his endeavor to give his family a home of plenty.
He read much and thoroughly, enjoyed a friendly talk with his neighbors on world affairs. He sought for his children the largest and best in life. He had the seeing eye for the burdens of others and the kindly hand which made loads lighter.
At an early age he united with the New Hope Lutheran church near Adamsville, Ohio, in which faith he maintained his membership. During his young manhood he was organist at the New Hope church, of which organization his father's family were regular attendants. He was a lover of music and his children count as a rich legacy the memory of "Sweet Hour of Prayer," which their father played and sang.
Deceased is survived by his wife, two daughters, two sons, two grandchildren, Clarence Paul and Sarah Margaret Slater of West Liberty. Besides his immediate family are two sisters, Mrs. Cidna Bainter of Adamsville, Ohio, and Mrs. Susan Souder of Lovettsville, Virginia and two brothers, Frank and Harve Slater, of Adamsville, Ohio. Many other friends and relatives mourn his loss. Two brothers, Howard and Carson Slater, preceded him in death.
Funeral services were conducted from the family home near Russell, February 9, 1925, by Rev. C. W. McKinley, a neighbor and Miss Alice Evans, returning missionary and life long neighbor. The pall bearers were neighbors who had grown to manhood during the later years of the deceased. Interment was made in the Russell cemetery.
