A TRIBUTE TO MRS. HELEN HIBBARD HAM
Relief from suffering came Friday morning when death occured to our esteemed and honored citizen Mrs. E. J. Ham at her home near Lyons, Aug. 1st, 1930. Her funeral was largely attended Sunday afternoon at the Chesterfield church of which she was a faithful member testifying to her worth in the vicinity in which she lived.
Rev. A. T. Cox, her pastor officiated in a very fitting manner.
A duet "One Sweetly Solemn Thought" was sung by Mr. John Leggett and sister Mrs. Weatherby in a very impressive way. Mr.s Ham was a member of their quartette which sang so often on such occasions. Mrs. Ross Stong of Morenci accompanied them.
Mrs. Ham has always been identified in church work and acted as teacher of several classes, the young men acting as pall bearers were from the young peoples class she taught for several years. The influence for good as teacher among the young people of the Sunday school never can be estimated in forming their destiny.
The following quotation describes her life:
"How long we live not years but actions tell,
That man, lived twice, who lived the first life well."
She was a woman of the most admirable nature devoted to her family and being well loved by those fortunate in her close acquaintance.
Her life was lived according to Prov. 31-28. Her children arise up and call her blessed: her husband also and he praiseth her.
A Friend.

IN MEMORIAM
HELEN LOUISE HAM
The length of life lived is immaterial, it is the strength of it which tells mightily at the finish.
Helen Louise Ham, born January 18th, 1875, daughter of Charles A. and Mary J. Hibbard, lived 55 years, 6 months and 13 days, but these years and months and days were mostly enveloped in the spiritual atmosphere of Heaven.
At the age of 11 she naturally and publicly, by baptism buried her life in her Master's, and from it there arond into being a career of devoted service, so that as early as 13 years of age she was organist in the Tedrow Sunday School, and then at 15 teacher in the same institution. This kind of service continued at Tedrow and at East Chesterfield. Woven into her life, whether as a public school teacher, or as a member of the Chesterfield Grange, or in various public services, her aspirations seemed to be to sponsor the best, or to make a situation better than it had been, to resist the encroachment of weakening influences.
There when she died on August 1st, 1930, at her home near Lyons, Ohio, more had been accomplished in her short career than most Christians cusseed in doing who live out the alotted three score and ten:
Brother O. Q. Oviatt, who baptized her at 11 years of age knew as well as any preacher does that at that age and with other favorable conditions existing and continuing, more would be done for Jesus in the long run, than if the sacred act of dedication were postponed for more mature years.
Her husband E. J. Ham and her children, Donald, Louise, Kenneth, Alice, Ida and Charles, also the three grand children, as well as her brothers Clark and James and her sister Maude may well contine to emulate her example rejoice her heart as she looks from the windows of Heaven and so finally reunite with her over there.
It remains to be said that somewhere along the line of her duties she contracted the illness which ended her earthly career despite the best of care bestowed.
Through all her illness she never found fault, was incurably optomistic, always suggesting she would soon be better and like the Psalmist of old deprived of fellowship with his brethren, her sould was longing yea even fainting for the courts of her Lord, for the Church of her Christ and her Savior. It is an easy thing to think that in this case there was no death but what seems so was mere transition that in a very definite way what Tennyson was fulfilled.
"Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning at the bar when I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems a sleep, too full for sound of foam,
When that which drew out the boundless deep, turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell and after that the dark,
And may there be no sadness of farewell when I embark,
For though from out our bourn of time and place, the flood shall bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face, when I have crossed the bar.
Services conducted by Rev. A. T. Cox were held at East Chesterfield Church, August 3, 1930, and burial was made in Wauseon cemetery.
A CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our sincere appreciation to those who by word or deed helped to lighten the burden of pain and suffering through the long weeks of illness of wife and Mother and to the neighbors and friends who in any way helped to make or sorrow bearable, we extend our heartfelt thanks.
