Notes:

gain along the busy walks of life a halt has been called, once more from its busy stage another soul has stepped off, and by its leaving, a home has become dark and sad. The subject of this sketch, Charles Clifford ASDELL, second son of David and Clara ASDELL, was born in Scotland, Greene County, November 15, 1897. He was one of a family of five children, three boys and two girls, and by his early departure, the first break in the family is recorded. Several years ago he united with the United Presbyterian Church at Scotland, and in which faith he lived a consistent Christian life. The immediate cause of his death dates back to October 15, 1910, while enjoying a game of ball as a spectator, and while sitting on the ground with others, he was struck on the head by a foul ball, fracturing the skull. Although for ten days he did not seem to suffer any inconvenience, but gradually the unseen symptoms began to manifest themselves, and his vitality becoming weaker day by day, until June 14, 1916, he went to sleep, “That sleep,” which knows no awakening on earth, aged eighteen years, five months and twenty-nine days. Clifford was a boy who always looked on life’s bright side, never complaining of his condition and when paralysis set in the same smile was to be seen. One year of this young life was spent in Odon, where it was highly valued for its honesty and its willingness to serve. Clifford knew the end was near, and the day before he left them, recognizing the kiss of the Father, he raised his hand in approval and then sank into unconsciousness. By his going he leaves a sad and lonely father and mother, two sisters, Fonnie and Marguarite, and two brothers, Clarence and Leland, besides many relatives and friends to mourn is departure.
