Mrs. Fickel was a christian woman, having been converted in the old church that stood on the Elijah Black corner on the Trenton and Mt. Pleasant road in her early girlhood. For many years, owing to bodily aliments, she was unable to attend church services but her faith in Christ Jesus remained steady to the end. She was ready for the summons.
Funeral services conducted by Frank E, Weston, pastor of the First Baptist church Mt. Pleasant, were held on Sunday afternoon, in Benjamin chapel Richwoods. A brief service was held at the home before the company left for the church. The chapel was crowded to the doors and many were compelled to stand outside for want of room. A choir consisting of Meadames Martin and Mahion Harsharger, Messrs . Skipton and Mahlon Harshbarger, and Miss ruth Brown sang suitable hymns. Miss edna Curtis was accompanist. The funeral sermon was preached from I Cor. 15:57 and was listened to with close attention. The floral pieces were beautiful and expressive. The large congregation felt deeply the loss the community had sustained. Many were present from this city. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining the chapel.
The bereaved husband and his sorrowing children have the hearty sympathy of many in their sorrow.
