OBITUARY - Oral Sloan, oldest child of William Marcellus and Mary Edna Drullinger Sloan, was born in Van Buren Township, Fountain County, Indiana on Feb 19 1873. He spent his boyhood in the country, attended the one room schools of that time and received what was considered a common school education. At eighteen years of age he began earning his way as a hired hand on a farm and continued this work until he began farming for himself three years after his marriage. On January 29 1896 he was united in marriage with Ida E. Tunin at Rev. Rardin's home in Harveysburg, Ind. These two people shared the joys and sorrows of life together for a little more than fifty five years, the wife passing on in April 1951. In 1928 he placed his membership in the Alamo Methodist Church and years later this membership was transferred to the Yountsville Methodist church. He enjoyed attending Sunday School and church services and was present as long as his health permitted. "Dad" as his children called him was a good father. he often said this life was just the preparation for a richer, fuller, more satisfying life in the Great Beyond. On May 17 he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and after that remained in a critical condition until he passed away at noon on June 15. He leaves to mourn his passing, a daughter, Byrrl, at home, two sons, Fred W. of near Hillsboro and Carl L. of Kingman, a grand daughter Mrs. Barbara Janeway of Hillsboro, a grandson, William Ronald and two great grandsons, Gary and Larry Sloan of Crawfordsville, one brother, Hobart of Lafayette, R. 7, several nieces and nephews and many good friends and neighbors. "There is no time that we could set for parting. We who must remain, are never ready for such pain, Ever our prayer would be not yet! Not yet! Dear God, Another day, let us with our beloved stay, We must believe when falls the snow, that God has wisely willed it so."
