Powell died at his home near Elida, Allen Co., Ohio, May 12th, 1897, aged 36 years, 3 months and 25 days. He is survived by a sorrowing widow, one son and three daughters. Bro. Powell was born in Rockingham Co., Va. In 1881 [sic - 1861] he came to Allen Co., Ohio, and in 1882 he united with the Mennonite church and was a faithful member to the time of his death. He was much concerned for the welfare of the church, and wished that his suffering might be a benefit to all. Bro. Powell was a very strong and robust young man, and was always blessed with good health until about four months prior to his death he began to complain of pain in his jaw; soon after a lump appeared and grew very fast. He was advised by his physician to have it removed, which was done, but it only appeared to make the matter worse; the disease took its course very rapidly until it ended in death. The physician called his disease a carcamo cancer. He was buried on the 14th in the Salem graveyard. Funeral services were conducted by C.B. Brenneman and D.S. Brunk before a well filled house. Peace to his ashes. Farewell, dear wife, God has called me, weep not for me when I am gone, but prepare to meet me yonder when the Christian's work is done. We miss thee husband dear, from thy old familiar place; We do not hear thy footsteps near, nor see thy cheerful face. We miss thee at the table, we feel thy absence there; And oh what sorrow fills our heart, to see thy vacant chair. Thy room looks vacant without thee, how desolate every heart; Oh could we hear thy voice again, what joy it would impart. Farewell, dear wife and children dear, I loved you all while I was here; Grieve not for me, nor sorrow make, but love each other for my sake."
