| Shared note | "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 110, No 13, p 415, Mar. 13, 1931. Stephen J. Ford was born July 25, 1844, at Sherwood, W. Va. [Va.], and died March 12, 1931, age 86 years, 7 months, and 18 days. He was the son of Albert Ford and Rulany Davis Ford. He was married on June 4, 1867, to Saphira Polan who preceded him in death over thirty years, her passing from this life being on August 21, 1900. To them were born five children, two of whom died in infancy. One son, J. A. Ford, died a few years ago. He is survived by two sons: S. A. Ford, of Salemville, Pa.; and C. L. Ford of Sugar Camp, W. Va., with whom "Uncle Steve," as he was well known, made his home; and by three brothers:, G. W., J. A., and A. R., all of Salem, W. Va. Brother Ford was converted and joined the Middle Island Seventh Day Baptist Church in 1867 and remained a faithful member until his death. Although Brother Ford was blind for the last six or seven years, he was very patient and loved spiritual communion with the Master. He was usually found when alone humming or singing some of the old sacred tunes or meditating on the service of his Savior. The surviving members of his family feel a great consolation that he lived a consecrated faithful life to the end. They all, as well as the brothers and sisters of the church, are thankful to the Father for having permitted him to remain with us for so many years. His passing was not a result of long suffering, for which we are grateful. He passed from this life almost suddenly after a severe cough which lasted only a few minutes. Funeral services were conducted at Middle Island church on March 14, 1931, by the pastor. The great multitude of people who attended the funeral was evidence of a host of friends. E. H. B. |
