Amasa Frame
The death of Amasa Frame occurred at the Plummer homestead, east of town, about noon last Monday. He had been sick for a long time with consumption and death, when it came, was no doubt a welcome release to the weary sufferer. Amasa Frame was born in Harrison county in 1839, and came to Barnesville with his parents when quite young. He was married first to Elizabeth Kennard in 1864. She only lived about eight months. In 1869 he married Rachel Plummer, who with two daughters survive him. He had never been a strong man, and about nine years ago went to Southern California hoping that salubrious clime would be of benefit. But his hopes were not realized, and six months ago he gave up the struggle, and with his family came back to his old home to end his days among his relatives and the friends of his boyhood. For months he has been 'only waiting till the shadows were a little longer grown,' yet, with the open grave just before him, he ever retained his cheerfulness, and patiently awaited the summons. In his younger days we knew him intimately and well, and a nobler, kinder hearted man never lived. He passed into the unknown land, bearing with him the love of those who knew him best, and the honor of the entire community with whom he was associated during the greater portion of his life. His stricken body is at last released from pain, the weary spirit is at rest, and the reward of his honest life is being reaped amid golden sheaves.
He leaves behind him a most estimable family -- a wife and two daughters, who have the sympathy of all in their loneliness. Funeral services were held at the meeting house at Stillwater, at one o'clock on Wednesday. Interment in adjoining burial ground.
