  [S927] Obituary. Diehl, Vernon Diehl Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, April 6, 1905 Relatives received word Tuesday of the death of Vernon Diehl, aged 21 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Diehl of Clinton, Missouri. Deceased was a grandson of Mrs. C. Diehl and Mr. Louis Christman, sr., of Woodsfield. Diehl, Vernon Casper Diehl 2nd obit Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, April 20, 1905 Again the angel of death has passed through our midst and taken from us one of our most beloved young men. Through the heavenly trumphet we heard the soft, sad words, ?Come up higher; thy work on earth is ended and a place awaits you around the great white throne.? After intense suffering from a tumor on the right lung for four months, all strength failed him, and at 4:45, Tuesday morning, April 4th, 1905, the angel silently carried the spirit of Vernon Casper Diehl to the great beyond. Deceased was the second son of H.C. Diehl and wife and was born at Sedalia, September 27, 1883, but had been a resident of this city for a number of years. He was baptized in the Cumberland Presbyterian church and was always at his post of duty in the Sunday School. He graduated from High school in 1901, and since then had been an efficient clerk in Hale?s Montgomery?s drug store. By his good behavior and pleasant manners he won many warm friends, all of whom deeply regret the sad news of his death, being called when so young and just blooming into manhood, when all seemed so bright and happy, but God is no respector of persons and knows what is best for us. Too much praise cannot be given him as a young man of excellent qualifications, good habits, and a gentleman, in every sense of the word. He used the talents given him, was a bright, intellectual, good natured boy and loving obedient son. Through tears the parents can look to their Saviour and be thankful for a son whose life has been a blessing to this old world and yet must say, ?Thy will be done,? as He doeth all things well. Words cannot express what he had suffered and no limit was given to medical aid, while his host of friends stood ready to do anything in their power to relieve and help him. He leaves a heart-broken mother, father, two brothers-Harry and Fred, and many other relatives and friends, who will miss his pleasant smile and generous help. The funeral services were conducted at the Cumberland Presbyterian church, at 3 o?clock, Wednesday afternoon, by Rev. L. C. Kirkes, after which the remains were tenderly laid to rest in Englewood, to await the judgement day. Mr. H.C. Diehl is a son of Mr. William Diehl, deceased. His mother, Mrs. Katherine Diehl, resides in Woodsfield. The bereaved parents have many friends here who sympathize with them in their sad bereavement.
