The Grim Reaper Spares Neither Young Nor Old, But Cuts Them Down and Gathers Them Home.
Reason Bevington, son of Alexander Bevington, was born in Pennsylvania May 25, 1819, and departed this life March 24, 1897, aged seventy-seven years, nine months and twenty nine days.
He emigrated in his youth from Pennsylvania to Holmes county, Ohio. Here he married Catharine Shadle, Dec. 7, 1842. He then emigrated to this county in 1848, and settled on the home farm in Jackson township, where he commenced in the wilderness to build a home and gather around him the comforts of life, and for thirty-five years he continued his home on the farm. During this time there were born to them thirteen children, seven of whom have passed on to the spirit world, six living to mourn the sad bereavement that takes a father out of the circle of their earthly homes.
In 1877 his wife, who had been wise in council and helpful in building up an earthly competency for old age, passed through the heavenly gates and left a record of faithful devotion and untarnished wifely honor that the wealth of a world could not buy.
October 15, 1879, Mr. Bevington was again joined in marriage to Lucy Gill, and continued on the farm about four years, when he moved to Warren where he lived until called from labor to reward.
About forty years ago, under the labors of Brother Wiggins, he joined the Wesleyan Methodist church at what was known as Lake school house, and was one of its active supporters for a long series of years. On moving to town he united with the Christian church of this place, but he always had a warm place in his heart for the comrades of his youth who had joined hands and hearts with him in many a battle for reform. He stood abreast of the world's current thought, and his sympathies were warmly enlisted for the destruction of chattel slavery in this republic and for the overthrow of the liquor traffic, which scourges like a pestilence the fairest homes.
His last sickness commenced about four weeks ago when his nervous system seemed to give away and the vital forces of life rapidly declined, but the approach of death did not alarm him or find him unprepared; he committed his soul to God and passed on to everlasting life. His days of sickness were cheered by the faithful ministry of wife and daughter and all his children, who did all that loving hands could do to make the chamber of death a pleasant place, and their faithful guardian care was tenderly appreciated by the dying man until earth faded away and the great golden gates swung outward to admit another soul to the company of the redeemed.
Funeral services were conducted at the M.E. church by Rev. A. Worth, who preached an able sermon, and interment was in Batson cemetery.
