Lewis Gillette
Lewis, the elder son of Edwin L. Gillette, aged 20 years, died on Saturday, April 14, 1894, at the home, four miles west of Niles.
Deceased had only been sick a few months. He was a young man of exceptionally good qualities and habits. The death of such an one seems unfortunate to society, where they are so much needed, but He that rules in righteousness does all things well. Deceased died in calm and conscious trust in the Christian faith.
The funeral on Monday was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends, and after a very impressive service, conducted by Rev. W.A. Welsher, D.D., of the Baptist church of Niles, the remains were conveyed to Silver Brook cemetery and buried. The sympathy of this community is with the bereaved ones.
