John Blanton Dies in Church After Cerebral Hemorrhage
John Blanton of Wheelersburg, 66 years old and a prominent citizen of that section died instantly last Sunday morning when he suffered a stroke and cerebral hemorrhage while attending church near his home. Mr. Blanton, long a member of the Baptist Church there, had gone to the morning services there and was apparently in fair health. While listening to the services he suddenly collapsed and when aid came to him he was dead. His body was brought to the undertaking parlors of the Mountain Furniture Company where it was prepared for burial. Funeral services were held at this home in Wheelersburg Tuesday afternoon and hundreds of his relatives and friends came to pay their last respects to him. Burial was in the Conley Cemetery at Wheelersburg. His sudden death came as a great shock to his many friends and relatives and to those who were worshiping with him at the time that he died. He was a widely known citizen and connected with many of the most prominent families in Johnson County. PAINTSVILLE HERALD Thursday Sept. 26, 1935
CLAY, Ella (Murray)
1877-1935
Mrs. Ella Murray Clay was born at Lowmansville, Ky., Feb. 7, 1877, died Sept. 22, 1935, age 58 years, 7 months and 13 days. She was married to Henry Clay of Flat Gap, Oct. 23, 1892. To this union were born 11 children, 5 girls and 6 boys, 8 of whom are living, Jennie, Ethel, Woodrow, deceased, Sarah, Erwin, Mannie, Edward Exer, Edgar, Ollie James and Willie are living. She is also survived by her husband, Henry Clay, of River, Ky. She joined the United Baptist Church when real young, one year before her marriage and lived a consistent Christian life until death. Her doors were always open to her brothers and sisters in Christ, and friends and neighbors found a genial welcome to her fireside. The life she lived before her husband and children and in her neighborhood created an influence that will never die. Her noble deeds as a Christian wife and mother will live on in their hearts, for "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, yea sayeth the Spirit; they rest from their labors and their works do follow them." When night steals down the shadowed skies On silent, peace-shod feet, And softly closes burning eyes, And hushes mortal's fevered cries, With touch divinely sweet, God smiles through shining evening stars His promises to keep, And angels close the pasture bars On His safe-folded sheep. Then tired hearts are lulled to rest, Forgot the way of pain, The coverlet of dark is prest, That none may harm them or molest, Till day shall come again; They shall not wake to walk alone, Beset by cruel fear, For even in the night wind's moan God whispers he is near.
