Notes for REVEREND RICHARD B. DILWORTH: OBITUARY Rev. Richard B. Dilworth Born 1846 at Oxford, Penna, his first and longest pastorate was at the Presbyterian Church,Union City, Pa.,1874-1884. Here in his youth and vigor he was not only a dearly loved pastor but he left a lasting impression on the town, spending his time and strength for the benifit of the youth and for the cause of prohibition. Later he took up a homestead on Vashon Island, Puget's Sound, where he labored as a home missionary. His next pastorate was at Roseburg,Oregon. About 1890 he returned to the east. The following ten years was spent preaching at Montague, Hainesville and Dingman's, Pa. In 1918 he came to the Merriam Home. Mr Dilworth had five children by his first wife, of whom three are living; Mrs. Piatt and Miss Mary Dilworth of Seattle, Washington, and Richard of Erie, Pa., who was present at his fathers funeral. His second wife, who was Miss Annie Brown of Newton, survives him. Mr. Dilworth was a veteran of the Civil War; he was also a wonderful mathmatician and latter years of his life were devoted to evolving a system that would revolutionize and symplify the study of arithmetic, on the key to which he was working when death claimed him April 13,1921. Funeral services were at the Merriam Home Friday and were conducted by Rev.Clarence W . Rouse, D.D.,pastor of the First Prebysterian Church of Newton. The Burial was in the family plot in Newton cemetery. Prominent at the impressive service was a delegation of students from the Newton academy where previous to his death Mr. Dilworth had filled most acceptably as well as most efficiently the position of instructor of mathematics.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral on Friday, April 15th, at The Merriam Home. Interment at Newton Cemetery. A MEMORIAL---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Presbyterian Church, This City Honors Former Pastor By Hearing From Him Again After Many YearsUnion City friends of Rev. R. B. Dilworth, a former Pastor of the Presbyterian Church of this place, have been greatly rejoiced at hearing from him again after many years. Rev. Dilworth, who is now living in Newton, N.J.,writes to his old friends under the date of January 16th, in commemoration of that day as the setting up of a new mile-stone along the road of human progress. Old time residents will remember Rev. Dilworth as the man who first began to dig the grave of John Barleycorn in Union City, 45 years ago. And when he began to dig, the gravel began to fly, for he was a vigorous and determined digger, while old John was a lusty fellow in those days, whom none might molest with impunity. But because of the intrepid labors of Rev. Dilworth, and those who joined with him, Union City has ever since been known, The continent across, as one of the strongest Prohibition centers in the whole Nation. As ardent as were Rev. Dilworth's labors in the cause of Temperance, even more devoted was he in the relief of the sick and suffering in the community. No case of want or distress ever appealed to him in vain. And few ever were existed during his pastorate, whether within his congregation or not, but what he sought them out and gave whatever of comfort or relief might be within his power, without ever waiting to be appealed to. But even greater than his enmity to John Barleycorn, and his devotion to the poor and needy, were his labors on behalf of the young people of Union City. TO CATCH THE CHILDREN FOR CHRIST, was to him the most important work in the world. And in that pursuit he was a most skillful and persistant fisherman. One of his first labors in Union City was to gather the young people into what he termed a Normal Class. Here he would entertain them with talks on various subjects,as forinstance, taking the subject of Geology, he would show us how the story of Creation was indeliby written by the hand of God in geological stones of earth, and the story revealed by geology, exactly allied with the story of creation as revealed in the Bible. Or he would talk on the subject of Astronomy, and getting us intrestedin the stars, would show us hw " The Heavens declare the gloryof God, and his firmanent showeth His handiwork." Always his talks were not only intresting, but instructive, and always they led into the way of the Kingdom, untill the work for young people became organized and recognized by many churches as an important factor in the work of the church. His work in this line became so celebrated that he was called to present it from the Chautauqua platform during the early years of the Chautauqua Assembly. Thus the knowledge of the work was broadened and extended, untill from being the pioneer in theb church's work for young people, he became virtually the Father, or perhaps I might better say Grandfather of all the Epworth Leagues and Christian Endeavors which are now enlisting and organizing young people everywhere for the work of the Kingdom. Possibly the work of no other man who ever walked the streets of Union City has been so permanent or so farreaching for good, as the work which Rev. Dilworth instituted in our midst. In rememberance of his faithful service, and in partial recognition of this work, the Presbyterian church of Union City has tendered the following reply to his recient greeting._____________________________________________________________________________________A MEMORIAL GREETING FROM THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF UNION CITY, PA.

The roads through Cedar Lawn, lined with green trees and flowers, were veritable avenues of loveliness. The quiet, but ever-moving water of the nearby Passaic River was a parable in itself. It is thus that the stream of humanity ever moves on. As we moved thru the gate and along the lane , we saw so many stones with names we knew so well. How precious God's acre has come to be to us. And then we laid her away- - Mrs. Alexander McKendrick. Thanks to kind hands, we did not see a grave at all, only a mound of flowers. How fitting that our last look should be in such splendid keeping with the life that had gone out from us. It wasn't difficult for the minister to find a sutible text for her service. It was Hebrews 6:10: " For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love." No; and we will not forget it either. There were two outstanding characteristics in the life of Mrs. McKendrick. She was always busy doing good, and always cheerful. Like the lamplighter who vanished down the street, she too has gone; but she has left behind a path of light that will make life easier. and happier for us all. from a type written note pasted in a "family memory book" Mrs McKendrick passed from this earth 7-May-1937. |
