DAVID WAMPLER
David Wampler died at four o'clock Sunday afternoon at his home on South Washington Street, of Bright's disease. Mr. Wampler for the past ten years has been the faithful night watchman at Showers' factory. He had been in failing health for several months but did not give up his work until about two weeks ago. His condition grew worse day by day until death came to his relief. David Wampler was 41 years old and was born and raised in Monroe County. He is the son of David Wampler, Sr., and leaves a wife and five children, all girls, to mourn his death. Mr. Wampler was a faithful member of the Christian Church and a Red Men. He was an honest, conscientious citizen. The funeral will be held from Kirkwood Avenue Christian Church at 1:30 Tuesday afternoon. Services will be conducted by Rev. T. J. Clark.
The remains will be interred at Rose Hill, and the burial will be in charge of the Red Men.

David Martin Wampler, Jr., according to my family records, died on 4 December 1904 which was a Sunday as listed in the article.

The Showers factory closed down this afternoon in memory of David Wampler, and the 250 employees of the big plant attended the funeral in a body at the Kirkwood Avenue Christian Church. Mr. Wampler had been a watchman at the factory for 11 years, and as a token the factory workmen sent a beautiful floral offering-a lantern resting in a bed of flowers and on which were the words, "His Light Still Burns."

HAPPY WORKMEN
Make Surprise Gifts at Showers Factory Plant
William N. Showers, president of the Showers Furniture Company, and Charles Sears, general superintendent of the plant, were given a happy surprise by the corps of workmen Saturday by each receiving a valuable present when the plant closed for the holiday vacation. To add to the thoughtfulness of the incident, $30 in silver was presented to Mrs. Wampler as during the year death had removed her husband, for many years a faithful employee of that plant...
After the company had adjourned, a pathetic incident followed when $30 in money was taken by committee to the stricken home of Mrs. David Wampler as her gift from the workingmen. A few weeks ago her husband died, who for years had been an employee of the plant. The gift brought a ray of sunshine to the sad home, not only because of its value but as evidence that she had been so kindly remembered in her sorrow.
All the money had been raised by voluntary subscriptions for among the employees of the plant.
