Obituary in Sabbath Recorder P.734
Ford --Elmore Waldon Ford, son of Milton and Addie Ford, was born August 18, 1892 and died by drowning May 17, 1911, Making his age 18 years, 8 months and 20 days.
Elmore's life seemed one of those destined to misfortune, since an accidental shot, March 9, 1905 was almost fatal, but this he has rallied and reached a strong and vigorous young manhood, and now this untimely taking away. The large congregation that gathered at the Seventh-Day Baptist church in Garwin, Iowa, on Sabbath, May 20, to pay their last respects, shows how the shock was felt throughout the community.
Elmore had never made a public profession of religion, but the express desire to do so and the interest taken in his Bible and religious questions, in the last few weeks, are now a cause of comfort to his sorrowing friends. J.T.D.
