DEATH OF N. J. STUBBS
Death has again visited our community, this time calling from our midst Nelson J. Stubbs, who died February 22, 1886, at 2p.m., aged 23 years, 2 mo. and 23 days. Nelson was a young man of integrity; he was foremost in starting and keeping up the Middleburgh Literary Society, of which he was an honored member. He was loved and respected by all who knew him, and to know him was but to love him.
He was attending the Baldwin University at the time he was taken sick, having earned the money to pay for his tuition by working at odd jobs during vacation. He was to have been married the coming summer to a highly respected young lady of this place.
His funeral was held Wednesday, Feb. 24th, at the U.B. church, which was filled to its utmost capacity. The coffin was completely covered with costly flowers from associates and friends. Among the floral offerings were a lovely wreath and a beautiful pillow from the Middleburgh Literary Society and friends; an elegant sickle from his intended bride, and a wreath of calla lilies from the Philozetian Society of B.C.
The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. P. B. Stroup of Berea.

WHEREAS, The hand of Divine Providence has removed our beloved friend and associate, Nelson J. Stubbs, and by the loss still heavier sustained by those who were nearest and dearest to him; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensation with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them, and commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best, and whose chastisements are meant in mercy.
RESOLVED, That this heartfelt testimonial of our sympathy and sorrow be forwarded to the family of our departed friend, and to the Berea Advertiser, and also be recorded on the records of this society,
RESOLVED, That the members of this Society wear a badge of mourning for thirty days in memory of their beloved friend and brother of this Society.

Reminiscence. - . . . Nelson Stubbs, whose early death some years ago was so deplored by all. Nelson Stubbs was the first president of the first literary society held at this place. . . Nelson Stubbs was a progressive and genial young man whom everyone loved. He was one of those, of whom we still have many, who did not look first for himself, but endeavored to put others forward and ahead., and had the happy faculty of promoting harmony and a friendly feeling in the society. He was in many ways a model young man whom it would be safe to imitate. One who was striving to do his best and to make the most of himself and to be all that God his Creator intended him to be. It was his aim to discard all evil and hold fast to all good. It was not easy for him to learn but he was determined. He was a joy and an honor to his parents, and his dear mother was never able to overcome the sorrow and lonliness which came to her through his death. He was a fine looking young man - tall and broad shouldered and graceful. . . . He took a severe cold which with hard study caused his death. Through a sense of duty, he took part in a debate when he was not able to do so, from which he returned home and never left the house again in life.
