Enoch Sorrell
Enoch Sorrell, aged 68 years, died suddenly Monday afternoon about 6:00
o'clock at his home four miles west of town on the Williamstown pike. He was taken
ill on Sunday morning and suffered intensely with gall stones and later
suffered a stroke of paralysis. He rapidly grew worse and the end came thirty-six
hours afterwards.
Deceased was born in Bath County, but came to Pendleton after the war, where
he has since resided. He was one of a family of eighteen children, only three
of whom survive him – Newton, John and Oliver Sorrell all residents of Bath
county. He is also survived by a widow and twelve children. He was married
twice. Mr. Sorrell was one of the best known ex-Federal soldiers in this county,
having served in the 40th KY Cav.
He was a plain and unassuming gentleman with a host of warm friends, and none
knew him but to hold him in highest esteem. He served his country well in war
and also in peace, and when the final taps were sounded he was ready to lay
aside his earthly cares. The writer knew him well and in his death we have lost
one of our good friends.
The funeral was held Wednesday at the Turner Ridge Baptist Church. Internment
took place in the churchyard cemetery, with honors of the G. A. R. of which
he was a member.

Obituary
Once more our hearts have been made sad by the cold and icy hand of death. At
6:15 o'clock Monday evening Enoch Sorrell closed his eyes in that peaceful
sleep to awake on the other shore where sorrow is never known. He was a good
Christian man, always trying to help others and had a kind word for everyone. He
passed away as though he was going to sleep and on Sunday night he said "this
is my way to go and I am ready." What a happy thought to know he was ready to
meet his loving Savior. It was hard to part with so dear a friend but may the
bereaved family find comfort in the words that "God doeth all things well" and
as the writer had often heard him say "Not my will, but thine be done." He
was s kind and loving husband and father, and his going away so sudden is a
shock to his family and friends. He leaves to mourn his loss, a wife and eleven
children; Mrs. W. J. Tucker, of Illinois, Jack Sorrell, of Ohio, Lum Sorrell, of
Covington, Mrs.Bernie Wolfe, Mrs. Nick Auchter, Mrs. James Abercrombie, Mrs.
O. W. Sullivan, Mrs. B. F. Lovelace, Ms. Henry Lovelace, Curtis Sorrell and
James Sorrell all of this county; also three brothers, several grandchildren and
a host of friends. May the life which he lived be an example for his children
and others to follow, and when they are called they may be as ready to go as
he was. He bore his suffering without a murmur, as only a Christian could do,
and we have every reason to believe he is safe in the arms of Jesus and only
been called to his home in Heaven, ther to welcome his loved ones home.

We saw his suffering, heard his moans
Now his earthly pains are o'er
The Lord has taken but his own,
To that bright and beautiful shore.

He was loved by all who knew him
And leaves many sorrowing friends,
But he has gone to that land immortal
Where happiness never ends.

It is hard for our loved ones,
When they go to their home on high
But, Oh, what joy it will be to meet them.
Where we never say "goodbye."

Our father will be missed here on earth,
But his troubles now are o'er,
And if we are faithful unto the end,
W'ell meet him on that beautiful shore.
------ His Daughter, M. W.
