Fort Wayne, IN Obituary Lesson: Choose Your "Companions" Wisely [1874]

To day if ye will hear His voice,
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life? It is even a vapor,
that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Hebrews 3:15/James 4:14


"AVELINE, George J.
There is pretty loud grumbling at Fort Wayne because the coroner's
jury decided that
George J. Aveline died from the effects of a fall on the curb stone
Dr's. Myers and Sweringen contribute a long card over their signatures to the the Gazette, in which they set forth professional opinions that death was caused by violence at the hands of dissipated companions. another comrade write his complaints against the funeral sermon, preached by the Rev. R.D. Robinson, of Fort Wayne College.
