In Memory of Erhart Hamsher

Gone from our home has the father so dear;
Gone, and has left us so lonely here,
While the absent form and vacant chair -
Tell of the sorrow so hard to bear.

Swiftly and sudden the messenger came,
Less than a week of anguish and pain,
Patient and calm the suffering he bore,
Oh! can't it be we shall see him no more?

Down where the waves of the river roll high,
Sadly, and softly, we whispered goodbye,
Over the stream that was darker than night,
Quickly we saw him go out of sight.

Over the stream came the boatman so pale,
Came with a boat and snowy white sail;
Swiftly he bore him over the foam,
Gone has the dear on, gone from our home.

Ne'er to return in his sociable way,
Much we shall miss the kind words he would say.
Lonely and sad is the home that he left.
Ties have been sundered and hearts are bereft.

Soon will the shadows of earth life be passed,
Sorrow and sighing be over at last;
Soon we shall meet in the mansions of day.
Go where our dear ones will ne'er fade away.

Notes:

REV. AMOS AUGUSTUS KIEHLE, D. D., former pastor of Calvary Presbyterian church, Milwaukee, was born in Dansville, Livingston County, New York, on the 22nd of March, 1847. His father, James Kiehle, was a tanner by trade and occupation, owning a tannery which he carried on for years. He was one of those highly respected citizens who form the conservative element in every prosperous community. A. A. Kiehle's mother was Elizabeth Litchard, a woman of sterling Christian character, who impressed herself indelibly upon her children to their lasting good. Both paternal and maternal grandfathers were residents of Pennsylvania, but removed to New York when their children were young, settling on farms in Livingston County, where they remained during the rest of their lives. Their ancestors came from "Old Holland." A. A. Kiehle's older brother was Rev. D. L. Kiehle LL. D., of Minneapolis, Minnesota, formerly, state superintendent of public instruction of Minnesota, and professor of pedagogy at the University of Minnesota.
A. A. Kiehle received his early education in the district school, which was followed by a course in the Dansville, New York, Seminary, an institution of higher education, with something more than a local reputation for the thoroughness of its instruction. He then taught for two years in Canandaigua Academy, and in the meantime prepared himself for a collegiate course, which he took at Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, entering that institution in September, 1867, and graduating from there in 1871. While in college he was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. He was also a faithful and successful student, with a record for thorough scholarship. As student and teacher, he paid special attention to the study of elocution, in which he won several awards and acquired a facility and power as a public speaker which proved of great practical advantage to him in his professional life. He believed that the study of language and elocution are not accorded the place in a liberal course of study which their importance demands. In the fall of 1871, he entered Union Theological Seminary in New York City, and graduated from there in the class of 1874. Soon after he received and accepted a call to the pastorate of the Franklin Avenue Presbyterian church of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and, on the 21st of October, 1874, he was ordained to the gospel ministry and installed pastor of that church. The duties of this position he discharged with much fidelity until February, 1878, when he accepted a call from the First Presbyterian church of Stillwater, Minnesota, where he labored with great ability and success until the summer of 1881, when he became pastor of Calvary Presbyterian church of Milwaukee. During his pastorate the church more than doubled its membership, a heavy debt was been paid, the church building was enlarged and the congregations greatly increased. May 13th, 1874, Mr. Kiehle was married to Miss Julia Reed of Livonia, New York. She died August 1st, 1878, leaving two daughters, Bessie M. and Grace J. July 28th, 1881, Mr. Kiehle married Frances Decker of South Livonia, New York, who died March 10th, 1885,leaving one child, a son, Ernest. On the 24th of June, 1890, Mr. Kiehle married Miss Bessie Harrison of Milwaukee.
Mr. Kiehle was a Republican in politics; and, while he was in no sense a "political preacher," he took a deep interest in all public questions, whether political, social or industrial, and never neglected his duties as a citizen. He was eminently a preacher of the gospel, but was fully alive to the fact that the gospel has a very close relation to daily, practical life, and he did not hesitate to point out and emphasize that relation in a manner that left a lasting impression. As a preacher, Mr. Kiehle had a popular manner, was an impressive reader of the scriptures, had a voice that easily fills the largest audience rooms and was most pleasant to the ear. His style was clear, direct, and forcible and often most eloquent, while the plain truths of scripture seemed to acquire a new power as they fell from his lips.

SUFFERED STROKE AT DINNER TABLE
Mrs. Sophronia Hamsher died at the home of her cousin, Mrs. J. F. Deitzel, last week Thursday night, at 9 o'clock, aged 63 years. Deceased was born in Scottsburg and was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William and Elizabeth Hamsher, and her entire life, with the exception of a few years in the west, has been spent in this section where for many years she taught school, and has many relatives and acquaintances in this place and Dansville. Last October she engaged as housekeeper for Mr. and Mrs. George Stannarius and remained with them until about three weeks ago when she left on account of illness, having been taken with grippe a week previous. She visited Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Curtis, relatives, and last Thursday morning went to Mrs. J. F. Deitzel's. At the dinner table she was stricken with paralysis and grew gradually worse until a severe shock in the evening caused her death. She was a Christian woman and esteemed by all who knew her, and the suddenness of her death deeply moved her relatives and friends, as she was in her usual health prior to being taken sick with the grippe.
