About Charles Lancaster Trueblood
The Atwood Patriot (Atwood, Kansas) – January 2, 1908, page 1
Obituary.
Charles L. Trueblood was born in Indiana in September, 1839, and died on his farm north of McDonald's in Rawlins county, Kansas, December 17th, 1907. Mr. Trueblood was converted and united with M. E. church when about 17 years old has always held to that faith. He was married to Miss Mary E. Moore in 1863, who survives him. There were eight children born to them, four boys and four girls. Seven of these are still living, one boy having died in infancy. These are all with him at his death except Mrs. A. C. Chapin who lives at Farragut, Iowa, and was unable to get here.
Mr. Trueblood was an old soldier having served through the war with the Phelps Regiment of Missouri Volunteers as a member of Company A of that command.
The entire community has suffered a severe loss in the death of this good true man. For while he had not lived here long he was universally loved by all of every class and the writer has heard almost every businessman of McDonald's say that "there could not a man have died that would be missed more than he." He was one of that kind of man so social and congenial as to when his way to every heart. With him there was no such thing as social caste. But all of God's creatures were his brothers, sister and friend.
He was always weakly and ill health since he came among us but a man of the most indomitable energy. He never wanted anything done without going to work to do it. We all loved him. We all mourn his death, but knowing God knows best, we submit to His wisdom and love in the matter. We all sympathize with a wife and children and command to our God for grace and strength in this hour of their deepest need. Rev. Winfrey of the Baptist Church preached a splendid sermon from the text, "Be ye also ready." May we all heed the warning of the text and accept its admonition and meet and know him on the other side.
The Valley Road
At eventide I shade my eyes,
And peer into the West, Where, winding down the shining plain,
And round each wooded crest, The highroad goes the sunset way,
Upon the endless quest.
Full many a traveler I have seen
(And one was passing fair) Go down the valley from my door,
And swiftly vanish there. Some I have sped upon their path,
And lightened some of care.
One day I too shall take my staff
And down the valley go, For one who went was passing fair,
And waits for me, I know. And I shall find her—O, my Soul!—
Beyond the sunset glow!
James Owen Tryon, in N. E. Magazine [editor: New England Magazine, Vol. XXX – Mar-Aug, 1904.]
We desire to express our heartfelt thanks to the many neighbors and friends who kindly assisted us in the late sickness, death and burial of our beloved husband and father and especially the old soldiers who acted as pall bearers.
Mrs. C. L. Trueblood and family.
