Somehow the angels found our treasure, You know not the pain to part with joy, It may be wrong to love so dearly, When the bright ev'ning lamps are burning, Mamma'll miss the song and laughter, And the schoolroom will long hereafter When the roll in heaven is calling, For while on earth he knew no falling, He was a jewel we could not keep, Only a child, but lived not in vain, A heart and name that knew not a stain, The blossom fell from the tree of God, We cannot see the veil of glory, We should not weep for an angel sweet, We have two bright stars in heaven now, Also the following verses were composed by his Sunday School teacher, Mrs. S. P. Hart, Kemper Lane, Walnut Hills, Cin., O., Oct. 15, 1892. TO WILLIE J..

Died at Brynmair, Gomer, Ohio, January 1st, 1893, at 6:30 A.M., Lydia Jones, youngest daughter of the late Josiah Brynmair and sister of Mrs. Thomas H. Jones, Lima, Ohio. The funeral took place at 1 P.M., Tuesday. The services were held at the Gomer church. She was one of the sweetest Christian characters ever known. While she was yet young she began to serve the God of her Fathers, and continued faithful to the end. Her end was calm and peaceful, and one of her last sayings to her sister was, "Have you any message to father and mother?" It can truly be said of her: "She did not die, she was too near an Angel; She changed one morning at break of day; And hand in hand, with some unseen Evangel, She went away. "How blest the righteous when they die." DEATH OF MR WILLIAM B. LEWIS, More than sixty years ago Mr. William B. Lewis migrated from Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales to the United States.

XIII. time to come for ever and ever Among the various states of the union, Ohio undoubtedly holds the second place as regards the number of its Welsh population and the wealth and prosperity of its Welsh settlements. Most of them still live in those parts of the state, which were settled by the early pioneer immigrants from Wales, and having inherited the sturdy qualities and cardinal virtues of their forefathers, a large number of them have become comparatively wealthy and prosperous and have attained to success and honor in the various walks of life. Among these descendants of the early Welsh settlers of Ohio in the legal profession, Judge J. M. Pugh, whose portrait appears above, holds a prominent and an honorable place. Mr. Pugh is the son of David Pugh, who came from Hay, Radnorshire, South Wales in 1801. He settled for one year at Baltimore, Md., and then in 1801 removed to what is now called Radnor, O., named by him after Radnor in Wales. At that time there was no white man within fifteen miles of him, and at first he had to make his bed on limbs of trees with blankets spread over them. While at Radnor he married a lady from Pennsylvania. He was a farmer by occupation. He spoke Welsh thoroughly. The late The late Dr. Chidlaw and his widowed mother lived also at that time in Radnor. In 1814, however, he moved to Truro Township, eight miles east of Columbus in Franklin Co., where he died, Oct. 24, 1858, aged 88 years, 8 months, and 15 days. Judge J. M. Pugh was born November 7th, 1823 at Truro Township, O., where also he lived until he began to study law, Sept. 4th, 1848, at Columbus, O. He has made his home ever since in the latter place. Mr. Pugh had not thought of entering politics, but in 1851 he was nominated for township clerk and was elected by 600 majority. In 1853 he was elected auditor of the county for two terms of two years each. In 1863 he was elected Probate Judge and afterwards repeatedly for five terms of three years each, making altogether a period of 15 years. He was appointed a member of the Board of Trustees of the State Reform School for boys by Governors Hayes, Allen and Bishop, serving for five years. He was also appointed by Governor Hoadley a member of the Board of Trustees of the Intermediate Penitentiary, locat ed at Mansfield, Ohio, which is not yet completed. He is also a member of the Sinking Fund Board for the city of Columbus, which controls the bonds of the city, an office, however, which brings no remuneration. After being relieved from his Judgeship, Judge Pugh has practiced law successfully, first with his son John C. L. Pugh and his nephew D. F. Pugh who is at present Judge of the Common Pleas Court, but now he has an office by himself, and carries on a large and successful law practice. Though a zealous Democrat in politics, yet Judge Pugh, on acccount of his integrity and generosity is highly respected by his fellow-citizens in general, irrespective of party, as seen in the case of the Pugh Videttes, who form Company A., of the 14th regi. ment, and who adopted the name as a tribute of respect to Judge Pugh. He is an active member of the Broad St. Presbyterian Church and takes pride in his nationality as a thorough and enthusiastic Welshman. Judge Pugh was married in 1851 to Miss Martha F. Cook. Eight children were born to them. His wife died November 16th, 1881 and he was married the second time July 22, 1885, to Elizabeth M. Bradley of Steubenville, Ohio. Happily settled in his elegant home on Broad St., Columbus, Judge Pugh enjoys life well crowned with honor and blessing, a living example to the young and rising generation of those virtues and qualities which command success and honor. |
