John Trimmer, a good man and true, has passed to his reward at the ripe old age of four score and ten, at the home of his only child, Mrs. Homer Kenyoun. Although a long and arduous life, it has been an epitome of what constitutes true manhood. The eldest of a family of twelve children in those pioneer days of privation meant a great deal to one who was always willing and who had the true conception of the meaning of Christian charity and brotherly love. Always ready to lend the helping hand to each and every one in the hour of need and distress, even unto the end. At the time of his death, even within a few hours before passing away, his solicitude was for his son-in-law, who has made a home for him in his declining years, and kindly ministered unto him, was the remark, “Tell Homer I will get up in a little while and help him with his work.’’ Faithful even unto the last. Many friends still remain here who remember him with much kindness and as the “ grand old man.’’
He leaves to mourn his departure his aged widow and one daughter, Mrs. Homer Kinyoun; one grandson, Earl Kinyoun, o f Martinsburg, W. Va., and one great-granddaughter, Dorothy, little
daughter of Earl, who represents three remaining generations; also a host of friends and neighbors, who have nothing but kind remembrances of a pure life, who exemplified the Christ-like religion in his every-day life, in his goings and comings in our midst. A FRIEND.
