Uriah BLUE
December 25, 1891
Clinton Register
THEIR LIFE WORK ENDED.
H. S. Gatchel, Elias Griffin, Uriah Blue, Ephraim Sriver and Mrs. Louise Wilson Called From Earth.
The last week has marked the close of several busy lives, and the suddenness with which death has claimed the fathers and mothers caused deeper sorrow in the homes of the deceased.
One week ago last Saturday Uriah BLUE of Texas township was in Clinton. Though he had not been feeling well for two or three days, he had been around as usual. On his way home he was taken with a chill which developed into pneumonia and he gradually grew worse. About twelve o'clock Tuesday night the end came—the spirit of an honest and useful man had taken its flight. A good citizen, a kind husband, one esteemed by all had been taken from his family and friends in the prime of manhood—the summer of life. All recognized his worth as a friend, a neighbor and an officer. He had been assessor, commissioner of highways and was an acting justice of the peace. In all these offices he had shown his worth and honesty.
He was 41 years old, born in Virginia in 1850. While he was young his parents moved to Illinois settling on a farm in Texas township which is now owned by F. M. Moore. He was married to Miss Jennie ECKERT, who with four children survives him. He was a man of industry, owning over four hundred acres of land and was one of the most extensive sheep raisers in the county.
Funeral services were held at the residence Thursday at 11 o'clock. The burial was at the Tunbridge cemetery near Kenney.
Note: Uriah was buried in the Baptist Cemetery near Kenney, not Tunbridge Cemetery.
