AARON F. RANDOLPH CALLED
Prominent Fulton Township Citizen Answers Final Summons after Busy Life
Aaron F. Randolph, the second of three sons of Phineas and Harriet Randolph, was born October 13, 1848, died Oct. 28, 1919.
His entire life was spent on the farm on Silver Island, where he was born. Of the original family all are gone except the youngest son, John, who resides at Danville, Indiana.
All the schooling he received was obtained in the country school, near his home, of which he made good use. The responsibilities of caring for the home fell upon him when quite young, owing to the absence of his elder brother, Wesley, in the army during the Civil War, and the afflictions of his father.
He was married to Lucelia Brown, Oct. 22, 1874. To them were born six children, four of whom are now living. One, a twin of Perley, died at birth, and Fern, the youngest of the family died March 25, 1916. Those living are Perley F., Parke P., Warren A., and Nora E. Samuels, all residing in this community. There also remain eighteen grand-children, and to the motherless one of these he has given parental care since her birth.
In the year of 1902 he united with Zion Baptist church, of which he was a consistent and faithful member until the time of his death. His last illness, though brief, was one of intense suffering. It was of such a nature that the only hope for prolonging life was to submit to a surgical operation. He was taken to Lakeview hospital, Danville, Ill, where everything known to the science of surgery was done for him, but owing to his advanced age, Nature failed to respond to the treatments.
Mr. Randolph was a well known and prominent citizen of the community in which he lived. His integrity, honesty and industry were unquestioned by any who knew him. He was liberally generous and public spirited. Too much can not be said of the interest he took in the welfare of his family in all right things. He and his good wife were a unit in their attachment to each other, their community and the Kingdom of God.
He crossed the Great Divide in the hope inspired by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
He will be greatly missed by all his family, neighbors, and friends, and especially by his wife to whom he had ever been a faithful companion.
