Obituary:
Everett T. Hylbert, son of J. W and Bertha (Lockhart) Hylbert was born June 3, 1887. He was married to Gelia Fox and to their union was born one son Kenneth. At the age of 11 years he was converted and united with the Gilboa Baptist Church and has since been one of its most progressive members and has filled many of the offices of the church, such as: Church Clerk, Sunday School Superintendent and teacher and for the past six years with Good Hope Association. He departed this life October 16, 1925 being at the age of 38 years 4 months and 13 days. He leaves to mourn his departure his wife, son, father and mother, one brother Elmer J Hylbert and four sisters Mrs. Dwight Walker, Reedy Rt. 3, Mrs. Silas Walker, Kingston, WVa, Mrs. Fannie Fowler Clarksburg and Miss Mattie Hylbert at home. Funeral services were conducted Monday October 19th at the Gilboa Baptist Church by Rev. J. M. Fox who preached from the following texts: "If a man die, shall he live again?" "Whosoever believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live". "Because I live, ye shall live also. Rev L. E. Springston assisted in conducting the service. Burial was made at Hodam Chapel by Funeral Director T. W. Dye of Reedy.
Eulogy by Rev. J. M. Fox:
Once more the funeral knell has rung and a patriot Everett T. Hylbert answered the call. He had only passed 38 milestones on life's road, and being weary on the way he fell into that dreamless sleep that knows no waking, until the great Triumphant Morning. Sad indeed some might say that life should be cut off at manhood's noon day, but it has been well said: "It matters not how long we live, but how well." Everett lived his life now righteous and died in triumphant faith of reaching a Home Eternal where sickness and sorrow never come and where no funeral cars ever run. That he was perfect in all his ways, I dare not say for he, like all mankind, was human and prone to err. I have been a very intimate friend and associate of his from early boyhood days, I know for myself that he as a God fearing, liberty loving, law abiding, manly man. And I have an abiding faith that when on October 16, 1925 he was called to stand in the shadow by the sunset sea of life, when the wanderlust of his hunger for Immortality was about to be satisfied as the quiet tide of the drowsy sea broke in soft ripples around his feet.
