A Pioneer Gone

Wm. Frame of Kimbolton, O., was born in Fayette county, Pa. Feb. 17th, 1808, died at Kimbolton, O., Dec. 29th 1893, aged 85 years 10 months and 12 days. When about 4 years old he came with his parents to Ohio, and settled near Washington, where he resided until 1833, when he was married by Rev. Samuel Findlay D.D. to Miss Brady M. Israel, who died May 12th 1893 aged exactly 81 years. After his marriage he settled on a farm near Kimbolton, O. now owned by Mrs. Bell Frame, wife of the late I.D. Frame. Here he spent his time in clearing the forest and farming until 1858 when he removed to Kimbolton where he has resided ever since. In 1859 and 1860, his health had failed until even his life was despaired of, but by the good hand of God his health was restored and he enjoyed good health, possessing the normal use of his intellectual faculties to the last. On Dec. 10th he attended services at the M.E. church the weather not being suitable for him to attend service at his own church which is distant two miles. On Tuesday the 12th he was taken sick with La Grippe which was the immediate cause of his death. The children of Mr. Frame are: J.D. and Hannah deceased. Those surviving are Mrs. Ledlie and Mrs. Alloway of Kimbolton. Mrs. Cook of Kansas and Mrs. Barger of Arkansas; Wm. R. Frame of Newcomerstown, Ohio and Mrs. Clark, wife of Rev. D.L. Clark of Marlborough, Ohio. The wants of Mr. and Mrs. Frame were kindly administered too during their declining years by Mr. and Mrs. Alloway and daughter. In politics Mr. Frame was a Democrat although not an ultra politician. "Uncle Billy" as he was familiarly called was a very genial man, always fond of a joke and endeared himself to all he came in contact with. In early life he united with the U.P. church at North Salem, O., under the pastorate of Rev. James Duncan D.D.

Mr. Frame lived a very exemplary life exemplifying the religion he professed by a becoming walk and conversation. In reply to a question by his pastor Rev. J.B. McMunn, as to whether any life aside from a christian life was worth living, his reply was, "No." In reply to any fears of death he said he had none. The funeral services were conducted at the M.E. church by his pastor, Rev. J.S. McMunn where his remains were viewed by a large number of friends and neighbors, after, which his body was laid to rest, beside the remains of his wife in the Kimbolton cemetery on the last Sabbath the closing day of the year 1893. Let us cherish his memory and imitate his virtues. J.A.C.
