Shelby Tidings

Rev. Geo. S. Bright, Editor

A religious paper published monthly in the interests of the First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Shelby, Ohio

March 1902, Vol 1, No 6

     John BEAVER and family will return to their old home in Shiloh to reside.

We were in hopes that their residence in Shelby would be permanent, but there's no place like home.

     Malcolm WICKSTROM is spending the week in New York city, transacting business for the United States Steel company.

     The sympathy of the congregation goes out to Arthur J. WHITE, who has been bereft of his brother, Will, by death.  Great comfort is taken from the fact that the deceased was fully prepared for the great change and died in "Christ, the hope of glory."

     Pearl McMULLEN, the beautiful young girl who has been sick for a year at the home of her parents on Mack avenue, passed peacefully away last Monday.  Services were held at the home on Thursday, being conducted by the Rev. COCHEL, of Mansfield,  The body was taken to Spring Mills, where the sermon was preached and interment made.  May God comfort the grief-stricken parents.

     Frank ST. JOHN has been threatened with pneumonia, but I convalescent.

     Miss Merle SMITH leaves about the first of April, to make her home in

Jersey City, N.J.

     Mr. and Mrs. WIKSTROM are now living in their own home, having purchased the house which they have been occupying.

     Mrs. J. M. KERR has been confined to the house most of the winter by reason of illness.  We have misst (sic) her at the services of the Sabbath.

     Miss Izora BLOOM has gone to Cleveland to take a position as stenographer and typewriter in that city.  Her sister takes her place in the office of Mansfield & Long.

     Some improvement is noticeable in the condition of Mrs. Jacob HERSHISER.  We trust that she shall be able to attend services at times during the coming summer.

     Mother GALLENTIN is better and worse at times, but is still able to sit in her chair throughout the day.  She takes great pleasure in the promises of God, and enjoys the visits of the pastor.

     Mrs. Al. STRAUB, who has been quite ill for some weeks past, is slowly recovering.  Mr. and Mrs. STRAUB are making their home with Mr. STRAUB's parents, No. 16 Raymond avenue.

     Burt ORWILER, who has been ill with heart trouble for some weeks past, is recovering, and has moved from the farm to the home of his parents west of town.  The prospect is that Burt will not be able to do any considerable manual labor for some years to come; but it might be a great deal worse.  We are grateful that his life has been spared.  A baby boy has recently come into his home, bringing sunshine and good cheer to the hearts of both parents and grandparents.

     Mrs. Henry BEISTLINE has been confined to bed for several weeks with a severe cold.  In view of her advanced age, recovery is a slow process.  She is willing to remain quietly in bed until sufficient strength is gained to sit up and walk, and her recovery will be hastened because of this.

     A severe cold has kept Mrs. CUMBERWORTH in doors most of the winter and we have missed her from the Sabbath and mid-week services.  Pleasant weather will soon enable her to attend services again.

     Here are the names of those who have paid for this paper since last issue.

Is your name among them?  if not, why not?  It ought to be:
