Nathaniel Ahl,
one of the oldest citizens of Moweaqua passed away Saturday morning. About three o'clock Saturday morning 14 March 1908, the soul of Nathaniel Ah1 took its flight from its earthly habitation and ended an illness of several weeks duration from diabetes. Although he was not confined to his bed much of the time, he had been afflicted and failing in health for a couple of years. While his family and friends knew his condition to be precarious, and his death was not wholly unexpected, yet it came upon the community as a shock of sadness. Mr. Ah1 was born in Breckenridge Co, Kentucky, 19 January 1826, and was at the time of his death 82 years, 1 month and 25 days old. He was among the oldest of a family of ten children, only one of whom survive him. He grew to manhood in his native state and on the 20th day of August 1857, he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah E Pullan. Had he lived until August he would have reached his 51st wedding anniversary. To this union were born twelve children, six girls and six boys, five of the children, dying in infancy and one, Mrs. Alice Taylor, died about three years ago. The rest of the children are Charles of this city, James of Lakewood, New Mexico, Alexander of Tobinsport, Indiana, Thomas of Richmond, Indiana, Miss Frances and Mrs. L 0 Hilvety of Moweaqua. They, together with their mother, and one sister, Mrs. Amanda Nokes of California, nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, survive the deceased. Mr. Ah1 came to Illinois about twenty-two years ago and settled on a farm near Moweaqua. Hard working, energetic and with a desire to do things, he made his way successfully as a farmer, acquiring valuable land interests and a position of prominence in the community. About five years ago he moved to Moweaqua to spend the declining years of his life in ease and quietness and has since made this city his home. He was universally esteemed and respected for his upright and honorable dealings with his fellow men. As a citizen, neighbor and friend he had few superiors. He was a man who united sound sense with strong convictions and a candid out-spoken temper, eminently fitted to mould early society into form and consistency Although Mr Ah1 was a member of no Church he exemplified, by his straightforward and honorable life, the teachings of the golden rule and unfailingly evinced a practical piety that will long be remembered as the best of professions He believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man He believed that the man who scatters flowers in the pathway of his fellow men who lets the dark places of lie the sunshine of human sympathy, and human happiness, is following in the footsteps of his Master Services were conducted at the family residence this afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev Edmondson, Pastor of the Baptist Church Interment was in the north Cemetery All the children were present at the funeral except Alexander, who is confined to a hospital near his home Besides the children from a distance, were Webster Taylor and daughter, Mrs Gardner and grand-daughter.
