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 per cent 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

Zelda Ruth RUPERT 
Died Feb. 19, 1916. 
In loving remembrance 
Thy voice is hushed, 
It speaks no more. 
Save as it echoes from that shore, 
Where pain and suffering are no more. 
We mourn thy loss, 
Thy place is vacant 
Ne'er can it be filled again, 
But we hope some day to meet you 
Where there are no tears or pain.

A SON'S TRIBUTE TO HIS MOTHER 
Mrs. Susan CHILCOTE, who Passed Away on Nov. 13, 1920, at Pitcairn, Pa. 
The death angel has come and summoned from our midst our beloved mother, 
Mrs. Susan CHILCOTE, formerly and for the most of her life time on earth, a 
resident of upper Hill Valley, Huntingdon county, Pa.  Her husband, our 
father, passed on before her by a little over twenty years; his death 
occurring on August 11, 1900.  At the time of her death, which came on 
November 13, 1920, she was aged 80 years and 24 days. 
Since October 1919 she has made her home with a daughter, Mrs. G. W. 
SHENEFELT of Pitcairn, Pa.  On Tuesday, Nov. 16 the body was taken back to 
the Monroe cemetery where it was laid to rest beside him with whom she had 
so faithfully walked for many years and where also rests the body of a 
daughter, Mary Catharine who passed from earth in 1884.  Services were 
conducted at the home in Pitcairn on Monday evening by the Rev. L. R. JONES, 
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Pitcairn, and at the Monroe 
church on Tuesday afternoon by the Rev. J. C. COLLINS, a former pastor of 
the Orbisonia Methodist Episcopal church and where he was a frequent visitor 
at the home while she lived in that vicinity. 
Since early in life, she was a close follower of the Stainless One, to whose 
services she had dedicated herself.  Every one who knew her had a glimpse of 
one of Christ's true devotees.  Nothing too hard for her to do when duty 
summoned her.  No worthy service too humble, no standards of the most worthy 
ideals of life too high for her hopes of some true realisation[?]. 
She devoted her best life in service to her home and her children and to the 
maxim of a most worthy help mate to him  whose companionship she accepted 
during the early years of their earthly pilgrimage. 
To this union were born the following ten children: --Mary Catharine, whose 
name is referred to above, deceased at the age of 24 years, Mrs. W. O. 
HUNTSMAN, of Martinsburg, Blair County, Pa.; Mrs. G. W. SHENEFELT of 
Pitcairn, Pa., Mrs. Sarah STEWART, of Rockhill Furnace, Pa.; Mrs. E. M. 
SHENEFELT of Happy, Texas; Mrs. W. J.  MCCOLLUM (deceased), of Sunbury, Pa.; 
Wm. H. CHILCOTE, of Huntingdon, Pa.; Abram M. CHILCOTE, of Rockhill Furnace, 
Pa.; Rev. P. J. CHILCOTE of Monaca[?], Pa.; and Rev. Thos. F. CHILCOTE, of 
Dayton, Pa. 
She leaves also to mourn her departure, one brother Peter WHITSEL, of Cora, 
Pa., in his ninety-first year and thirty-nine grand children and forty-one 
great grand children. 
Our dear mother has gone from us and her precious memory shall ever inspire 
us to emulate those high and worthy principles which she taught us to know 
from our early child hood and to follow in all the years of our earthly journey. 
The family altar, and the lessons of truth and righteousness that our beloved 
departed parents inculcated in our hearts bind us still together with cords that death can 
not sever.  The spirit of reverence, for home, and the Lord's Day and the 
Word of God, and Church attendance and for all that pertain to the highest 
and the best shall never be obliterated from our minds and hearts.  Because 
of these things we are made more conscious of our obligations to the high 
standards of American Christian Citizenship, with fullest reverence to the 
high Government of Heaven.  We have great reason to be greatful to the Giver 
of all good for what He has been pleased to bestow upon us as the recipients 
of the precepts and examples of life ever set before us by our Godly and 
sainted parents.  We could not wish them back here; they are at rest from 
their labors and trials and with the poet, there is only this we can sing in 
their triumphs over earth's conflicts. 
Servant of God, well done! 
Thy glorious warfare's past, 
The battle's fought, the race is won, 
And thou are crowned at last. 

O, happy, happy soul! 
In ecstasies of praise, 
Long as eternal ages roll, 
Thou seest thy Saviour's face. 

Redeemed from earth and pain, 
Ah! when shall we ascend, 
And all in Jesus' presence reign 
With our translated friend? 

          ---Thos. F. CHILCOTE

IN MEMORIAM 
In memory of Anna Belle PARSONS, who died at her home in Allenport, November 
the 17th, 1919, aged 11 yrs, 9 months and 19 days. 
Dearest Anna Belle you have left us, 
And thy loss we deeply feel, 
There's a vacant chair at the table 
That never can be filled. 

Death comes and none can hinder, 
Takes our loved ones from our side 
Takes them from our home forever 
To their home beyond the skies. 

Up in Heaven we can meet them 
With the loved ones gone before 
And can be forever with them 
There where parting is no more.

Miss Reba HOUCK, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John S. HOUCK, after a severe 
illness from typhoid fever, finally passed into the great beyod on Friday 
morning December 20th, and was buried on Sunday, Dec. 22.  Miss HOUCK was a 
most charming young woman and leaves a host of friends to mourn her loss. 
She was a very faithful member of the Methodist church and active in all the 
church interests.  Many were the prayers that went to God for her recovery, 
but in the presence of death all stands helpless.  She had the best that 
physicians could give, having a number of consultations, besides very 
careful nursing, yet she left us and went to Him.  The services were in 
charge of Rev. R. J. KNOX, her pastor, and the pall bearers were the members 
of her Sunday School Class, twelve girls, and the girls from the post office 
where Reba was employed preceded to the grave, bearing beautiful wreathes of 
evergreen vines sprinkled with roses.  This death seems specially a sad one, 
since it was while nursing her mother that she took the fever and from which 
she died.  The mother could not attend the funeral and the blow to the 
parents and family was all the more serious since it was less than a week 
that another daughter died and was buried in Pittsburg and neither of the 
parents could attend that funeral as both were ill and the twin brother of 
Reba had not reached home yet from his sister's funeral when he was wired 
that Reba had died.  The same lessons were read at both services and the 
same hymns were sung. 
The blow has indeed been a crushing one and the family 
has -----------------------------------entire town and the prayers of every 
Christian of the place.  The church has sustained a real loss in her death 
and the brightness of the home has faded and only God can console.  We 
commend the family and friends to  His allwise power and kind love.  Reba 
has gone to be forever with her Father.  She will be no stranger to Him.
