Xenia, Ohio (Greene County)
John Roy Frame, son of John and Janet Frame, was born in Lawrence County,
Ohio August 14, 1894 and passed on to the great unknown September 30,
1918 at the early age of 24 years, 1 month, 16 days.
Last summer he answered his country's call to service by enlisting in the
U.S. Navy and was sent to the Great Lakes Naval Training School. In a
short time he was transferred to Hampton Roads, where he was stationed at
the time of his death.
The news of his brief sickness and death came as quite a shock to his
relatives and many friends all of whom were much interested in his
success in the cause for which he gave his life.
On February 18, 1908, he united with the Church of Christ at Grape Grove,
thus answering the call of the Lord and Master to "come unto me
all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Willing to put his faith in one who would lead him along life's uneven
journey, go with him through deaths valley, and at last pulled him safely
to that happy golden shore of eternity.
He leaves to mourn his departure, his father, mother, 6 brothers, 2
sisters, and a host of relatives and friends, by all of whom he will be
sadly missed. Yet we bow in humble submission to that higher power, and
say "not our will, but thine be done."
Of the family 2 of the boys are in service. Corporal Millard O. Frame
with the American Army in France, and George Frame at Camp Sherman.
The others are Thomas and Garrel at home. Amds of Jamestown, Oh. James of
Selma, William of Yellow Springs, Oh. and Mrs. James Hoskins of
Springfield, Ohio.
