A gloom was cast over this entire community Friday morning by the death of Mr. Clint Lashbrook whose leg was broken while loading logs last Monday morning. He was taken to the St. Edwards Hospital in New Albany Thursday afternoon where his leg was amputated, but he lasted only until 7 A.M. Friday morning when he peacefully passed away leaving a message to his family and loved ones to meet him in Heaven. While we all sorrow and sympathize with his loved ones there is no greater consolation than to know that when our loved ones are called away, they are prepared to go. Funeral services were conducted at this place Sunday at 2:30 P.M. by Rev. Floyd Crocker with burial in the nearby cemetery. W. O. Ritter had charge of the funeral.

At this, the flood tide of the year, we are reminded that death knows no time or season, but has all seasons for its own.
Clinton, son of Eliza Jane and James C. Lashbrook, was born in Orange County near Moores Ridge January 8, 1888 and passed away at the St. Edwards Hospital in New Albany May 29, 1936 at the age of 48 years, 4 months and 21 days, having spent his entire life in the vicinity of Moores Ridge where he resided at the time of his death.
On June 22, 1915 he was married to Mary Haworth. To this union was born three children, Jack, Eleanor and Mary Lou. On March 25, 1926 this companion was taken by death and he was left to be both father and mother to his three little ones. This duty he discharged faithfully and well.
He was again married to Ruth McCarty Apple on August 29, 1931. One son, Noel, was born to this union also it may be truly said he take taken the place of a father to two little step-children, Paul and Ferne Apple, having loved them as his own.
He was a member of the Moores Ridge Methodist Episcopal Church since the year 1924 and was a faithful attendant until death.
On May 25 wile going about his work an accident occurred which later caused his death. He was taken to a hospital where everything which medical science could do was done but his injury proved fatal and he passed away on the morning of May 29.
Despite the great suffering his mental facilities never failed and he was able to leave messages that are a great comfort to his dear ones. His greatest regret was that his family must be left without his protecting care.
He leaves to mourn his wife, Ruth, four children, Jack, Eleanor,Mary Lou and Noel, an aged father, J. C. Lashbrook, two sisters, Ella Breeden and Pauline Lashbrook, a brother-in-law, C. H. Breeden, two step children, Paul and Ferne Apple, and countless other relatives and friends. The mother preceded him in death by only five months.
In his death the community has lost an exemplary citizen, the father a dutiful son, the sisters a beloved brother and his family a devoted husband and father. But we know that their loss is Heaven's gain. Those who were near him in his last hours heard him pray. He left testimony that all was well with his soul and asked his dear ones to meet him in Heaven. Altho we here are left with sorrowing hearts let us look beyond this scene of death to that glad reunion at the gates of the Eternal City where last Friday morning a mother awaited to welcome her son to his Heavenly home.
