Zelda RUPERT - A great shock and much sorrow came to our town, when the word was given out on Thursday evening, Feb. 10, about 9:30 o'clock, that Zelda was dead.
Only a week before this, she was well and cheerful, but was showing symptoms of takng a cold.
This developed into a bad case of lagrippe, and settled in her head in a bealing, as so rapidly did it progress and with such intense pain, that her beloved Lord and Master called her out of the intense suffering so soon.
Zelda was one of the finest and purest of girls; was alway friendly and kind to everybody, was a consistent Christian, a member of the Baptist Church and an interested Bible student from her early childhood, a regular attendant at all the services of her church and its several departments.
She was a fine organist and always at her post of duty; in her Sunday school lessons she was always eager to know more of its truths and its spirituality.
She was always ready to help in the work of advancing and trying to attain higher standards.
The writer having been her Sunday school teacher and superintendent from a little girl, had taken her through a series of teacher training at which time she earned a diploma with about 100 percent marks on all of her examination papers; and just now, she was again going with us in a class of Teacher Training in which she hoped to get another diploma, and then she said she wanted to take the seal course.
She was a home girl, always ready to do her best for her parents, and in her home, on account of her loss, there will certainly be a void and a sadness that will be hard to overcome by those who remain there to mourn her departure.
But the consolidation to her parents, her sister and only little brother is surely great for the knowledge that their daughter and sister had lived such a pure life; and was so attentive to the duties of her Lord and Saviour, that now she is amongst the most beautiful of the redeemed ones in our Lord's Kingdom in Heaven.
May her life and her death be a stimulant to all her companions and her many friends to live a better life, and show that the world is better by her being in it, for God certainly had a purpose in bringing into the world such pure characters, and then taking them out again just when we feel the most need of them, and when we least think we can let them go; but God knows best and doeth all things well.
Zelda, daughter of Paul and Bertha RUPERT, was aged 22 years and almost 2 months.
She leaves to mourn her loss her parents, also one sister Louisa, and a little brother Arthur and a large ____________________ (the rest of the obit is missing.)

Believing that our readers would appreciate a sketch concerning the likes of Rev. Cyrus JEFFRIES, the author of the excellent story now running in the columns of the Times, we have prepared the following brief biography.
We have received our information from Mr. Jeffries's son, H.O. Jeffries of Panasoffkee, Florida, and his daughter, Mrs. Belle MCCOY of Kent, Washington.
Additional data has been obtained from S. E. PARSONS, Mrs C. E. CULVER and Mrs. Geo. PARSONS, all residents of Mount Union, and all of whom are cousins of Rev. Cyrus JEFFRIES.
Rev. Cyrus Jeffries, author of "Jack and Keturah Culberson," was born on June 6, 1812, in a log house of considerable dimensions, along the banks of Tuscarora Creek, just below Nossville, in Tell township, Huntingdon Co., Pa.
He was a son of Mark and Rebecca JEFFRIES.
In his early life, he taught school and also learned the trade of a millwright under his father's tutorship.
Later, he took a course in medicine in Philadelphia, probably at what is now the University of Pennsylvania.
After finishing his course in medicine, he was ordained a minister in the Methodist Protestant Church and he never ceased the ministry until his death.
His conference, he being then a resident of Ohio, sent him to Maysville, Ky., where he was assaulted in the dark by a gang of ruffians and carried out of town, with the admonition to never return only on the penalty of his life.
The cause of his assault was, that in a church meeting a local preacher, while debating with Mr. Jeffries on the slavery question, which was then before the church, made this statement: "Three things will tend to keep slavery alive; it performs our labor and exempts us from toil; it affords easy ______________________________- passions make money for us; when I need money __________________ (paragraph unreadable - DW)
At Orrville, Ohio, on April 27, 1831, Rev. Cyrus Jeffries and Catharine KIDLINGER of Milesburg, Center Co., Pa., were united in marriage.
The ceremony was performed by a Presbyterian minister, who kept the couple on the floor for three hours, solemnly admonishing them to observe the importance of the step they were taking.
The great-grandfather of Mr. Jeffries settled in Chester county, Pa.
He came to this country from England two years before the arrival of William Penn.
He was of Quaker extraction, as were all his sons, likewise the subject of this sketch.
He and some of his sons owned a large portion of land on which the Battle of Brandywine was fought.
They were devoted colonists, and in spite of his scruples of religion, Mr. Jeffries grandfather, Richard Jeffries, enlisted and served in the ranks of Washington's army.
Mr. Jeffries was one of a family of six sons, the other brothers being Andrew, Parsons, Mark, Benjamin and Lemuel.
There were no girls in this family.
He was twice married, the second time to a lady by the name of Margaret CLAYTON.
At one time, Mr. and Mrs. Jeffries resided in Mount Union and all through this section of Huntingdon county he was well known.
Mr. Jeffries was the father of six children, all to his first wife: Lorenz, who died in the South Dakota Soldiers' Home; Howard O., Panasoffkee, Florida; Ferdinand, who was killed at the Battle of Antietam; Jacob A. K. of Chicago, Ossian A. and Mrs. Belle McCOY of Kent, Washington.
Mr. Jeffries was a great preacher and a brilliant man and we believe a man who was greater perhaps than the age in which he lived realized.
He possessed a remarkable memory and was a man of high Christian character and Christian ideals.
He died in Williamstown, N.J., on August 12, 1877, having been stricken by apoplexy in the pulpit.
He had just announced his text and had read the text and he was stricken before he had started his discourse.
The text was a appropriate one for the closing of such a great life as his, taken from II Timothy, fourth chapter, sixth, seventh and eighth verses, which are as follows: "For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing." His body rests in the Odd Fellow's cemetery here at Mount Union, and thus awaits the summons of the glorious Resurrection Day. (A photo accompanies the article, DW)
