New York, 1895
The Rev. Dr. Poulson will terminate his pastorate of the Methodist Episcopal church in Jamaica with the assembling of Conference this year, and the official board of the church has put on record expressions of the joy it has found in his ministry and the sorrow that will be felt at parting with him. We believe that the people of Jamaica of whatever belief will heartily regret the departure of Dr. Poulson. His has been at all times the conduct of a gentleman and the deportment of a true clergyman. His mission has been to preach a pure Gospel, to minister to the sick, to help the needy, and in all these works he has won the love and esteem of the people. The parish that secures the services of such a man of God will have abundant reason for self-gratulation.
—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, March 15, 1895, p. 4.

Ambiguous Tribute To Much-Loved Pastor
1921
Ambiguous
At the death of a much-loved pastor some years ago the vestry of a prominent New York church resolved to place a tablet to his memory in the vestibule of the church, tells Harper's Weekly. In due time the tablet appeared in its place, where it still remains. It has caused not a few smiles; for, after reciting a list of the former pastor's virtues and labors, it closes with the quotation: "Now the people of God have rest."
Rev. Aaron Spangler Dies Seated in Chair
The Rev. Aaron Spangler, for 50 years an active Reformed religious leader, died suddenly Saturday night, at his residence, in York, aged 80 years. He was apparently in good health Saturday. He was seated on chair in the living room of the residence Saturday night, and his daughter, Mrs. Minnie B. Grady, who resides with him went to his side just as he was breathing for the last time. Heart trouble was the cause.
Rev. Mr. Spangler is survived by a son, Rev. Paul M. Spangler, Harrisburg; two daughters, Mrs. Minnie B. Grady, at home; Mrs. Carrie M. Stock, New York City. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Sarah Crider, York.
At a luncheon served on September 23, 1920, at the annual meeting of the Woman's Missionary society of the Potomac synod of the Reformed church, held in Emmanuel Reformed church, York, a combined birthday surprise and "golden" service anniversary was held in honor of Rev. Mr. Spangler.
Rev. Aaron Spangler was a graduate of Heidelberg seminary, Tiffin, Ohio, and was ordained as a minister of the Reformed church in 1870. His first charge was at York Springs, later he served in East Berlin and in New Oxford, after which he went to York. From that church he went to the Paradise charge, serving there for sixteen years, when he was compelled to retire from the active ministry owing to impaired health.

In Memoriam
Indianapolis, 1921
BELL—In loving remembrance of my dear mother, Elizabeth C. Bell, who passed away one year ago today:
Gone, dear mother, gone forever;
Oh, how I miss your smiling face;
But you left me to remember,
None on earth can take your place.
Never more shall we caress you,
Never more your bright smile see,
But we know you rest with Jesus
By the peaceful crystal sea.
My heart cries each day for mother,
You were my pride and joy;
And when days are dark and friends are few,
Dear mother, how I long for you.
Your loving daughter, Mrs. C. E. Deniston.
CASADY — In loving remembrance of Mabel Casady, who died two years ago.
Though gone, you're not forgotten, Mabel,
Nor shall you ever be.
The loving hearts you left behind
Grieve silently for thee,
Sadly missed by mother, father, sister, and son.
LINGENFELTER — In loving remembrance for our dear wife and mother, Alice N. Lingenfelter, who passed away May 23, 1910. You are not dead, but sleeping in the beautiful isle of somewhere. W. H. Lingenfelter, Daisy Coy.
MAY — In loving remembrance of a dear baby, Thelma Marie May, who passed away one year ago today. A shadow fell across our light when death the reaper came and took our darling baby away from earthly care and pain. Sadly missed by mother and father.
PRINTZLER — In loving remembrance of my dear mother, Sophia Printzler, who died one year ago today.
Today recalls sad memories
Of a loved one gone to rest;
Those who think of her today
Are those who loved her best.
From her daughter, Mrs. Cress Rice.
