Oma Evalena Hess, daughter of William and Sarah Hess of Perry Twp., died Friday, December 20, 1907, of pneumonia--aged 20 years, 8 months and 6 days. She joined the U. B. Church four years ago under the pastorate of Rev. H. H. Davis and lived a devoted member till the summons came. With no enemies, her friends were limited only to those who knew her, for none knew her but to love her, and her sudden death is a shock to the entire community. In the home a link is broken--a tie severed; a dear, gentle daughter, a kind, loving sister is gone. We shall meet, but we shall miss her. Her last words give evidence that she has gained that home beyond the grave prepared by the father for those that love and serve Him. Funeral services were held Sunday in the U. B. Church, conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. S. Codor, and the remains interred in the U. B. Cemetery at Perrysville. Her obituary in the Free Press Standard, Carrollton, Ohio, Friday, January 3, 1908. On Friday, December 20, 1907, near noon, death again visited our community and picked a fair flower from our midst, taking from the home of William and Sarah Hess their daughter, Ona Evalena, aged 20 years, 8 months and 6 days. She was just in the bloom of young womanhood, loved and respected by all who knew her, kind and affectionate, industrious and lady like in all her actions. She was the oldest daughter at home, and to know her was to love her. Ona was her mother's greatest help and will be missed so much. Tyhoid pneumonia laid its heavy hand upon her about a week prior to her death. All was done that kind and loving hands could do, all that skilled medical aid could give, but to no avail. From the beginning the disease had too great a hold, and death claimed another victim. On Sunday morning, while everything along the road was draped in purest white, a long and sad funeral cortège left the darkened home to lay away all that was mortal of Ona Hess. Services were held in the U. B. Church at Perrysville, of which she had been a member for four years. Services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. S. Coder. Hymns, selected by the deceased, were sung by the church choir. The church was crowded, and many were unable to gain admittance. All were present to show their sympathy for the grief-stricken parents and sisters. On account of the holiday season the flowers ordered by the Sunday school, family and relatives and friends were delayed and did not come, but loving hands prepared a beautiful holly wreath, and a spray of roses, carnations and ferns. Interment was made in the cemetery near the church. The pall bearers were young lady friends of the deceased: Misses Clara and PEarl Henderson, Bertha Fawcett, Josephine Amos, May Heidy and Grace Trushel. Besides the parents left to mourn the death of a loved one there are four sisters: Mrs. Henry Heisler, of Annapolis; Mrs. William Epley, of near Akron; Mrs. J. G. Dodd, of Perrysville, and Hazel at home. A large number of relatives from a distance were in attendance at the funeral, among them being Mrs. Frances Wagner, two daughters and three sons, of Carrollton; Wesley Ferrall and two sons, of near Hanover, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Heisler, of Annapolis.
