  [S927] Obituary. Christman, Forrest Christman Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, May 2, 1907 Forrest Christman, aged 22 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.S. Christman of Woodsfield, died at Grand Junction, Colorado, from typhoid fever April 30. The remains will be brought to Woodsfield for interment. Christman, Forrest W. Christman 3rd obit Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, May 23, 1907 Forrest William Christman, was born in Woodsfield, Ohio, February 25, 1885. He died April 30, 1907, at Grand Junction, Colorado. At his bedside was his brother Glen and his sister Celestia with Colorado friends, who watched the departing, and with sorrow, not without hope, wept over broken ties. Forrest was a consistent member of the Grand Junction Presbyterian church having made profession of salvation soon after reaching Colorado. He was a member of the Bible class and also of the Christian Endeavor Society. He was a member of the ?Woodmen of the World? and also the ?Carpenters? Union.? Flowers were sent by these societies and orders and also by other friends of the deceased from his Colorado home. The funeral service was conducted from the home of his parents Sunday afternoon, May 5th at 2 o?clock. The Rev. W. Loverridge Oliver of the Presbyterian church officiated. The songs used were especial of the deceased??I?ll Go Where You Want Me To Go?, ?Saved By Grace?, and ?Face To Face.? The funeral text was from 1st Corrinthians 15, 57, ? But thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.? The body was carried to its resting place by twelve of his young friends?six of his girl friends carried flowers and preceded the casket in the funeral procession, which was one of the largest Woodsfield has ever seen. The open grave was surrounded by nearly if not fully a thousand persons, whose sympathy for the living, and honor of the dead was thus demonstrated. And words came from Colorado that are more comforting than legal apprisals of large inheritances?What he has he leaves behind him. And yet a paradox is here, for what he takes is more to those behind than what he leaves.
