Aaron Obituary
After a long, painful illness Rev. Aaron F. Shriver died at the home of his parents, Mr and Mrs George Shriver, on High Street, Friday morning at twelve o'clock. Every effort was made and every hope was entertained that his life might be spared, but his time on earth was completed and he was taken away.
Rev. Shriver was born on a farm north of Louisville, Ohio, September 12, 1870, making his age fifty-two years. After growing to manhood he entered the profession of teaching and taught in the schools of Nimishillen township, also serving as superintendent of the schools. Later he entered the ministry of the Church of the Brethren and was assigned to the church at Akron, Ohio where he served as pastor for seven years and was then transferred to New Philadelphia and continued in his work there until failing health compelled him to resign. He then came to the home of his parents.
Rev. Shriver was married to Miss Jennie Culler, who, with two daughters, the misses Ruth and Helen, survive, also his parents and one sister Mrs. O. Bixler, of Louisville, Ohio.
To know Rev. Shriver was to love him, with his kind, gentle, pleasing manners. He never gave offence, was always a dutiful son, a kind and considerate husband and father and a faithful Christian worker. His span of life was not long but his good influence will long continue. He has gone to his reward.
Funeral services were held at the Reformed church. Sunday afternoon, and the attendance was beyond the seating capacity of the church. Rev. M.M.Taylor read the 90th psalm and offered a prayer after which Rev. Harold Helman, of Ashland, Ohio, president of the board of missions of the church of the Brethren, delivered a good sermon. His text was II Tim. 4:7-8 - I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is land up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give he on that day. A quartet of male voices from the church at New Philadelphia of which Rev. Shriver was the pastor sang two selections -- " There's a beautiful land " and " Some time, some where." There were many beautiful flowers. After the services the body was taken to the Center Cemetery where interment was made.
