    • Obituary –  Phillip Forney. 

      Phillip Seneff Forney was born near Mt. Eaton, Wayne County, Ohio, on the 2nd day of June, 1839, and died on April 13th, 1924, at the age of 84 years, 10 months and 11 days. 

      It was at the early age of 10, in the pioneer days of 1849, that he emigrated with his parents to this county, coming by boat as far as St. Joseph, Mo.  The rest of the trip was made by wagon. 

      He was the oldest son of Peter and Barbara Forney, having three brothers and two sisters who had passed on to their reward prior to his death.  On January 25th 1866, he was poined [sic] in marriage to Anna Hurst, who, after having lived an exemplary Christian life in the United Brethren Church, died in the faith eight years ago next June. 

      In the course of their long and happy wedded life, three sons and two daughters were born to them.  One son and one daughter died in infancy.  The three surviving children are Mrs. Ella Kneale, Wm. Forney and E. O. Forney, all living in the community adjoining the old home.  There are 11 grandchildren and four great grandchildren, also an uncle, Solomon B. Forney, who is past ninety years of age.  A host of other relatives and friends are left to mourn his passing from the scenes of earth, but there is every reason to rejoice because of his entrance into the joys of everlasting life. 

      [He was a religious guy.]

      [Pioneer days were hard.]

      [Ernest Christian.]

      Funeral services were held at the German Methodist Church near his old home, the final tribute being offered by his pastor, J. M. Turner.  The sacred dust was consigned to its native earth on Monday April 14th, while the immortal spirit winged its way to the mansions of light. 

      J. M. Turner, Pastor.
