; la Memory of Millard Haf mib.
Our ranks are again broken;
another soldier has fallen. Who
will take his place? Millard Ha
gaman, whose departure on the
10th day of Feb. 1917 we mourn,
' was 43 years of age. He had suf
fered very much for about eight
months with a malady that baf
fled the skill of the physicians.
Hia family and friends did all
tbey knew for his alleviation and
restoration, but God willed it
otherwise. During his long ill-
ness he was never heard to utter
a word of complaint. Asa citizen
ha was of the highest type. On
. all questions affecting the moral,
intellectual or religious better-
ment of his community and
country, he stood four square.
Uewas liberal with time and
money for 6 very. good cause. A
man of excellent judgment; he
neverexpressed himself until he
had carefully considered. Strict
ly honest, truthful, upright, pub
lic-spirited; he admired these gm
ces in others, but was always gen
erous to the faults of his neigh'
bors. He professed faith in Christ
when quite young, perhaps nine
or ten years old, in a meeting
held by Elders A. C. and his son,
J. H. Farthing, who was just be
ginning the ministry. These ser-
ices were held in an old log
school house just above wbej-e
Forest Grove church now stands.
This was the first protracted
service ever held on East Beaver
Dam, and this was the only con
version' in that meeting, of which
we have ever heard. Some years
after he was baptised iutothe
fellowship of Forest Grove church
in which he lived and wrought
u itil his departing. No man was
ever truer to his church and to
the things for which the church
stands. He was a man of deep
christian humility, al ways carry
ing a strong seuse of his unwor
tliiness. This often, iu his yoiing
or days, kept lum from filling im
portant places of trust und ser
vicebut later in life he threw
, himself wholly into whatever his
, brethren called hitn. He was
dotibtlesss one of t he most effl
cient Sunday Schoolteachers in
the Three Forks Association. He
had an extensive knowledge o
the Bible; was also a studious
reader of good books and cur
rent literature. This, backed bv
his deep piety, made him a teach
er loved and respected by his
class of younugmen whom he
taught for many years. At the
time of his death he was clerk o
hU church, and had been for ma
ny years. It was often remarked
by different ones of his pastors,
that he was, perhaps, the best
church clerk in the Three Forks
Association. Forest Grove church
keenly ,U els the loss we have sus
tained in hia death. In the prime
of his life, in the midst of his use
fulness, his going away is an in
expressable bereavement to his
family, hia church aud the com
munity. We shall kuow better
why, some day.
