Obituary for Joseph E. "Gene" Painter, March 1945:
Terre Haute mourned the passing of J. E. Painter, life-long citizen, who passed away on March 19, 1945, at funeral services in the Terre Haute Methodist church on Thursday afternoon, after which the remains were laid to eternal rest in Terre Haute cemetery.
Ernest Painter, Wyverne Painter, George Painter, Fred Painter, Lowell Painter and Roy Painter were pall bearers. Charles Fort sang "The Old Rugged Cross" and "In the Garden", accompanied by Pianist Mrs. Ada Ingram.
Joseph Eugene Painter, eldest son of Charles T. and Sarah Angeline Painter, was born on the old Painter homestead on April 15, 1870 and passed away at his home in Terre Haute on March 19, 1945 at the advanced age of 74 years, 11 months and four days. His entire lifetime was spent in the community in which he was born.
After attending the North school, he went to Elliott's Business College in Burlington, Iowa. When he had completed his education, he decided to take up farming as a life work and actively pursued his occupation until the time of his death.
He was united in marriage with Ida M. Kimble on December 14, 1892, and to this union were born four children, Charles E., Ray S., and Blanche Lovitt all of Terre Haute and Ruby Burkhart of Dallas City. He is also survived by one brother, Ralph, of Monmouth and by seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
He was always active and interested in the affairs of the community and acted as counselor and advisor to many associates. He had served in various positions of trust during his life, being a director of the Stronghurst Elevator at the time of his passing. In his departure, the community has lost a substantial citizen, and his family a loving father, husband and counselor.
In Memory of My Brother by Carl Painter:
"The old chain is broken,
It cannot be repaired.
Three links are missing,
Only a memory there.
The old chain held together,
Each link always stood the test,
But how the other one will miss it,
He will know, you may guess.
For more than 60 years it held,
And it pulled some heavy loads,
Each link was always ready,
No matter what the load.
But, thank God, there is a place
Where the four links may be rejoined."
