Scott, Alice Rout
Mrs. B.A. Copass, Mrs. Mack Elliott, and Miss Lizzie Marksbury, Committee
Whereas our Heavenly Father has seen fit in His goodness to call unto Himself our president, Mrs. Alice Rout Scott, and whereas, she was one of our charter members, more than once our president, and always one of our most faithful workers and earnest supporters, therefore, be it,
Resolved, that in her death we recognize a great loss to us here on earth; that we nevertheless bow in humble submission to the will of God, our Father, that we rejoice and praise Him, that she gave such glorious testimony in her dying hour, to the saving power of the blood of Christ, and that her last words should be those of such infinite comfort and hope, as “I will soon be in Heaven.”
The death of Mrs. D.T. Scott cast a gloom over this community. Mrs. Scott became a member of the Forks of Dix River Baptist Church quite early in life, and has ever since worshiped there; she was truly loyal to the end; she will be greatly missed in the church and community. She leaves a husband and many relatives to mourn her loss, but surely they mourn not as those who have no hope. The Ladies’ Aid Society, of which she was president, submit the following resolutions to be printed in the Record.

Sebastian, Luther
A most deplorable accident occurred in our neighborhood Saturday evening. Luther Sebastian, son of Wm. Sebastian, had returned from hunting and laid his loaded rifle nearby while he sat warming by the fire. Smaller children were playing in the room and one knocked the gun off and Luther was instantly killed, the ball entering the head at base of brain. To say this news shocked us and brought untold sorrow, would but half express the deep grief we feel. Luther had been our pupil for four years, he was bright beyond measure, full of life, pleasant with school mates and teacher, and at all times honest, brave and truthful. If any question arose on the playground, Luther would always state it as it occurred, though it implicated himself. Only a few days ago we remarked to a friend, that “If Luther told us anything we believed it as though we had seen it.” Is it any wonder that we were so drawn to this noble boy with such sterling qualities, loved him almost as our very own? It is a strange dispensation of Providence that he has been taken so early in life, but “God doeth all things well.”. Bereaved parents try to say “God’s will done. Sleep on loved one in calm unbroken sleep.”. “Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face, we shall know even as we are known.”

Shumate, Champ
Mr. Champ Shumate, of Paint Lick, died February 1, 1905. He was born on the Ben Slavin place in this, Garrard County, September 2, 1825, and was therefore in his eightieth year. He lived on the place where he was born until his marriage, after which he moved to Rockcastle County. After some years he moved back to his old home, the Slavin place, on Frog Branch Creek. His first wife, who was Martha McClary having died, he married the second time, Lizzie Yeakey, who survives him. He leaves three children, all of whom were by his first marriage. Shortly after his second marriage, about 22 years ago, he sold his farm and moved to Paint Lick and engaged in merchandising. After seven years he gave up the business and retired to the comfortable home where he spent the remainder of his days.
For thirty years he was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church at Manse. Of recent years he has been unable to attend church which he delighted to do when he was able. He was a modest, unassuming man of good christian character, quiet and unpretending in his manner. He was a man of strong convictions and a firm and faithful friend. Most of his life was spent in Paint Lick, where he had many friends and acquaintances. He leaves three children, a widow, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Everything was done for him that kind friends could do but, for many years, he had been afflicted with kidney disease, which in the end caused his death. Revs. D.E. Friarson and C.S. Young conducted funeral services at his home in the presence of a large and sympathizing crowd. His remains were laid to rest in the Paint Lick Cemetery.

Simpson, Charles
Charles Simpson died at the home of his father, Mr. William Simpson of Teatersville, in this county on last Friday afternoon after a long illness of tuberculosis, and after short funeral services at the grave conducted by Rev. DeMoss of Buckeye and Rev. Beagle of Lancaster, his remains were interred in the family lot in the Lancaster cemetery on last Monday morning.
The circumstances surrounding the death of young Simpson made it an unusually pathetic one. He was preceeded to the grave by his mother, who was also a victim of that dread destroyer, tuberculosis, and about twelve years ago he and another brother Larue feeling that the terrible malady was gaining a hold upon them took their departure to what they hoped might prove a more favorable climate, they went to California; shortly afterward another brother, Earl, followed them to the state of California.
Earl was the first to succumb to the malady, and about two years ago his remains were brought here to his old home for burial. In April of this year Larue fell a victim to the malady, thus leaving Charles, the oldest of the boys to battle alone in a distant land; the contest proved an unequal one, and after exhausting every known remedy he gave up the conflict and concluded to come home in order that he might die at his old home and among his relatives and friends. Meanwhile he had met and fallen in love with a beautiful young French woman, Miss Marie Dardiniere of Los Angeles; his brother Ed Simpson a few months ago went to California in an effort to do something for his afflicted brother, he started for home with him, but when he reached Albuquerque N.M., the young man concluded to try that climate for a while in the hope of securing relief, and with much reluctance, his brother purchased property in that place and left him there. Within a short time, failing to secure the relief he had hoped to find, he concluded to make the long journey home, he telegraphed his fiancee in Los Angeles and she joined him in Albuquerque and at once expressed her intention of accompanying him, which she did. They reached Louisville on the 19th of last May and expected his brother to meet them there, however, a misunderstanding in the sending of telegram prevented this, and they were married in Louisville on that day and proceeded on their journey to Lancaster. The devotion of the young bride to her afflicted husband during his stay here was pathetic to see, she never leaving his side for even an instant. Her grief at his death was heartrending.
There was never a family of more upright, gentlemanly or popular boys raised in Garrard county than the Simpson boys, and multitude of friends throughout the county will mourn the taking away of the eldest.
Young Simpson was 34 years of age last May. Besides his father, he is survived by two brothers, Messrs Ed and Otto Simpson of this county and one sister, Mrs. Tilden Hoover, also of the county, and also one half brother, Creed Simpson who lives with his father at Teatersville. The deceased was a nephew of Mrs. W. T. West of Lancaster.
