 | Memorial Service for Chas. W. Willey
An Impressive memorial service was held Sunday morning at the First Baptist church for one of its members, Charles W. Willey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Willey, who was lost at sea when the steamer Herman Frasch was sunk on Oct. 4, 1918.
With the colors and beautiful flowers were grouped pictures of Mr. Willey, one as a graduate from Yale and one in his officer's uniform, and a picture of the transport, Herman Frasch, from which he lost his life.
A male quartette, Stephen E. Peckham, Walter M, Cowan, Frank L, Robinson and William Lund, rendered a special programme of music, closing with Nearer My God to Thee.
The pastor spoke feelingly as follows:
We are here at this hour for a two-fold purpose. First, to participate in a memorial service and to break open our alabaster boxes of love and appreciation and pour the precious ointment upon the fragrant memory of Charles W. Willey.
And in the second place, we are here to consider the stately and majestic steppings of the omnipotent God as He moves across the ocean of life and down the shores of time.
The text is a portion of the 19th verse of the 77th Psalm. Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters.
Some years ago in this sacred place Charles W. Willey made the supremely grand decision of his life. He became a Christian. He accepted the matchless Christ as the highest type of manhood and crowned Him King. Between then and now only a few years have passed, but this time has been sufficient to reveal to us all the true metal with which this young hero was made.
This true knight of the Twentieth century began life with the determination to carve his name on the age in which he lived. And who will say he hasn't done it. Nothing but the best ever appealed to this daring and aspiring soul. Early in life he became conscious that industry was the price of success. He was willing to pay that price. After graduating from our Free Academy, he entered Yale University, where his sterling worth was quickly recognized and he became very popular. In 1916 he graduated from Yale and with all the enthusiasm of his young life, threw himself into the business world.
His employers speak in the highest terms of his ability and there is every reason for believing, had he lived, he would have won a commanding place in the business world. But God moves in mysterious ways - "His way is in the sea and his path in the great waters."
In August 1914 all of Europe was plunged into an indescribable abyss of sorrow and anguish by what has since proved to be a world cataclysm. The land of Washington and Lincoln had grown to be a mighty republic. From ten thousand flag poles waved Old Glory, the fairest symbol of liberty this old planet has ever seen. We were peaceful and happy, But across the sea, the cruel serpent of a militaristic autocracy was hissing and destroying life with all the cunning and strength and cruelty of an Indian cobra. The cry of nations in distress was so loud and pathetic that it could be heard across the mighty Atlantic.
The cry came not in vain. We became conscious of our true destiny. God had made us great to serve the world. That cry echoed from shore to shore from city to village - from mountain to valley until a prighty host of America's bravest and best were on the way across the sea to grapple with the monster of the iniquity.
Of this great host, we believe there were few if any, more daring more many-more truly American and more altruistic than Charles W. Willes. We remember with pleasure his last visit home. I gripped his hand and wished him Heaven's blessing as we parted. He was assigned for duty on the Herman Frasch and sailed for Europe with supplies for the allies.
On the night of October 4th, in a dense fog, the Herman Frasch was rammed by another vessel and cut in twain. The earthly career or our young hero was ended. His sun had set to rise in a fairer world.
I can't help but think that the Christ who held out his hands and caught Peter, was near to Charles Willey that night on the dark sea. Peter's life was incomplete and so he was spared only to receive the martyr's crown in later life. We never would have thought that our brother's work was done but God evidently thought it was and came down and crowned him with only the great waves of the Atlantic and the angels to witness the coronation.
There is a passage in Virgil which speaks of Evander as coming to the end of his career. He recalls the past with tears and regrets. The present moment was big with opportunities but he was unable to measure up to them. Responsibilities were there but his shoulders could not carry them. An unexpected crisis has come but he wasn't equal to the occasion. The hour demanded a leader with the strength of a giant but he was as weak as a babe. Evander exclaims in nis grief: "Oh, that I was as in the day when I led my army out in the Valley of Praeneste." How pathetic the hero's cry. Gone forever the energy that in his youth never tired. Gone the zest of living. Gone the passionate ambition to dare and do. And these things Evander had lost were lost forever.
But what a contrast. We think of our young hero as crowned in the very zenith of his young manhood. Every faculty alert, enthusiasm at fever heat, a passionate desire to make good and the future all rosy with promise.
Charles Willey was not out on a pleasure trip but in the path of duty and he died at his post- died in the sacred cause e of world freedom. Millions will see the dawn of a new day and live in the atmosphere of a holier freedom because Charles W. Willey in the atmosphere of a holler freedom because Charles W. Willey and others dared to make the supreme sacrifice. We feel keenly -more than words than ever tell- his going away, but are sure that our loss is his gain. We sorrow, but he is glad in a land of perpetual joy and sunshine.
How my heart yearns to show you the Father's love and design in this seemingly strange act of Providence. Through the clouds of sorrow and disappointment, it's difficult for us to see our Father's face beaming with love. But life is a mockery if we can't bank on that love which simply can't fail.
May I suggest an analogy. Long ago in Bethany there was a home where Jesus on many occasions was most royally entertained. Lazarus, a member of that household was stricken with disease and Mary and Martha sent a message to Jesus informing him of their brother's illness. They made no request for Jesus to come but simply assumed He would come because Jesus tarried. The sisters must have wondered why their Lord was so long in coming. Lazarus died and was buried. Then Jesus starts for Bethany. We like to believe Jesus is never late but He seemed to be on this occasion. The sorrowing sisters greeted Jesus with these words: "Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died." But Jesus planned not to be there. He had a great surprise in store for them. He wanted them to see God's glory, but the darkness of the year valley must precede the glory of the mountain top. They journeyed to the spot where Lazarus lay. Then the holy Christ cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth," and instantaneously the glory of the omnipotent God burst upon the scene and the brother was alive again. Who will dare to describe that journey homeward. Now the sisters must have been glad Jesus wasn't there, and we are glad, too. If Не came late there was a reason for it. During many anxious hours we waited and prayed that the same Christ might have come and snatched our brother from the cold waves of the Atlantic. But Christ tarried and He tarries still. But some day He will come and we shall behold God's glory in Charles W. Willey--his face beaming with joy and on his brow the hero's crown. And then, without a doubt, we shall rejoice that Christ came in his own way and time.
Attending the service were William Hull, William Ringland, Raymond Wilcox and Robert Peckham, гepresenting the Tri Kappa fraternity of the Norwich Free Academy of which Mr. Willey was a member and a representation of his graduating class of the Academy. Many members of the Rebekah lodge, in which Mrs. Willey is a past grand, attended, thus expressing sympathy. Among the relatives and friends from out of town at the service were Mrs. Fred Beebe and daughter Miss Ruth Beebe of Springfield, Mass.: Mrs. Fred Beebe, Jr., of New York, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Crane, Willimantic: William Davies and daughter, Miss Carrie Davies, of New London John Chaffee, Bridgeport; Mrs. John Rathbone and son, John Rathbone of Leffingwell.

"PIONEER MOTHER OF VALLEY TAKEN
Mrs. David E. Moore Died at Home Here Last Saturday
With the passing of Mrs. David E. Moore at her home on Sixth street last Saturday evening following an illness of three months, has removed one more of those sturdy pioneers of this country whose lives have endeared them to all who knew them. Mrs. Moore had been a resident of Chino since 1894 and prior to that had been one of the first settlers of Phillips county, Kansas.
The deceased was born in Preston, Jackson county, Iowa, on July 23, 1849, to Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Banning and was christened Mercy Malora. She was educated in the common schools of Iowa and as a young woman taught school for two years. On March 14, 1871, at the age of 22 years, she was united in marriage to David Elias Moore, who survives her, and to them four children were born, Herbert, who died in infancy; Walter M. Moore of Visalia, Don E. Moore of Chino and Mrs. Alma Moore-Homan of Chino. Also five grandchildren, Dr. Harold Arnold Moore of Los Angeles, Mrs. Alma Hill of Whittier, Herbert Moore of Pomona, Dr. Clifton B. Homan of Monrovia and Mrs. Marjorie Bonner of Los Angeles. She also had two brothers and five sisters, two of whom survive.
Following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Moore lived on a farm in Iowa until migrating to Kansas in 1873. Here they made their home for 18 years and then came west to California in 1892, settling first in Pomona for a period of two years before coming to Chino.
The First Methodist Episcopal church of Chino was organized in their home and they faithfully maintained this affiliation, attending the services of their faith as long as health permitted. The deceased was also a member of the Sunset club, an organization of elderly women, and she found great joy and comfort in the friendships formed in that membership.
Mrs. Moore enjoyed a very active, helpful happy life and good health until the past few years when her strength began to fail. She was stricken three months ago, taking a turn for the worst about three weeks ago.
Funeral services under the direction of Glenn A. Henry of the Richardson and Henry Funeral Home were conducted Monday afternoon from the Methodist church with Rev. Elmer S. Andersen, pastor of the church, officiating and Rev. H. E. Hooper of Belevedere, former pastor here, assisting.
Two songs were sung by Mrs. Seth Hastings, Mrs. F. A. Payne, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Solter, with Mrs. Blaine Van Dusen at the pipe organ. Pall bearers were W. H. Delphey, W. J. Tebo, Edwin Rhodes, W. T. Clarke, W. H. Jorden and G. A. Hillman. Interment was in Pomona cemetery."

MICHAEL JOSEPH SIMMONS March 13, 1940 ~ November 28, 2023
The family of Mr. Michael Joseph Simmons, age 83 years, are saddened to announce his peaceful passing in St. Joseph's Hospital - Hospice Unit on Tuesday, November 28, 2023.
Michael was born in Whitemouth, Manitoba on March 13, 1940. He was raised in the East End and later in Blake Township where he was affectionately known by family and friends as "Mickey". Following his sense of adventure, Michael moved to Toronto and worked at the Royal York Hotel until he walked past the recruiting office. Continuing to feel his desire for adventure, he went in and signed on the dotted line, leaving for basic training at Camp Borden. Michael trained at the school for the Royal Canadian Service Corps ("the first and the finest").
Returning home for Christmas in 1961, Michael's mother introduced him to his future wife, Diane Grawbarger (O'Neil), and they were married on August 4, 1962 in St. Thomas Anglican Church. The next 18 years saw the family move every three years. During that time, they did two tours with NATO in Soest and Lahr, Germany and Michael served one tour of duty with the UN in Egypt. In 1980, they returned home to Thunder Bay.
After retiring from service, Michael began working for Iris Lucchese at Lacey's Taxi (the best boss he ever had!), driving hundreds of students in his school van over the next 20 years. He retired for the second time and enjoyed meeting friends for coffee at Tim Hortons and Robins. Sadly, his battle with dementia took this and many other enjoyments away from Michael; however he soon found new friends at Manor House and, for the past five years, at the Dementia Cafe at the Abbey.
Michael is survived by his wife of 61 years, Diane; son Mark (Rachell), grandchildren Cynthia, Bruce and great-granddaughter Scarlett, all of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories; daughter Tracey (Joe) Schenck and grandsons Samuel and Jonah, all of Jordan, Ontario; his brother Jim (Diana) and their daughter Nadine. He is also survived by his brothers-in-law Shaun (Lynn) O'Neil of Pass Lake, Ontario, and Kevin (Debbie) O'Neil, sisters-in-law Colleen (Al) Snelgrove, Kelly Green and Pat (Peter) Hnatiw as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and special cousin Beverly Erickson.
He was predeceased by his parents, Angela "Jean" (nee Siciliano) and Lenard Simmons; grandparents Annunziata and Salvatore Siciliano; mother-in-law and father-in-law Doris (Stokes/Grawbarger) and "Peg" O'Neil as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins and nephew Jesse O'Neil.
Funeral Services for Michael will be held on Monday, December 4, 2023 at 11:00am in St. Thomas Anglican Church (1400 Edward Street South), officiated by Rev. Jonathan Blanchard. The interment of Michael's urn will follow in Mountainview Cemetery. Visitation for family and friends will be held on Sunday, December 3, 2023 from 2:00 until 4:00pm in the WESTFORT CHAPEL, 420 West Gore Street at James.
Should friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations in memory of Michael to Alzheimer Society, Hospice Unit of St. Joseph's Hospital or the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation.
