DAVID E. RITCHEY
OBITUARY 1-23-1923
Post #10 SnohomishComrade David E. RITCHEY on Jan. 23, 1923 was summoned at noon day by our Supreme Commander, from the Veteran’s Home at Port Orchard to join the great majority of our comrades on the eternal camping ground. His marches, the toils and the cares the joys and sorrows of this time world are ended. And it gives his remaining comrades feelings of sadness to know that our comrade, whom we so highly esteemed for his sterling qualities of mind and heart, can be with us no more to cheer us by his genial comradeship as we journey along life’s uneven pathway. Our high respect, our love, for our departed comrade can never die. Though a native of the Emerald Isle, our county became his country; our flag, the emblem of Liberty, his flag for which he offered his life for its preservation and perpetuity.
His service for our country was in Co. C. 33rd ILL. Infantry. He was not only Loyal as a citizen but was loyal as a comrade and a friend. As a member of Morton Post he was dependable for any work or position to which he might be assigned. Among the other duties to which the Post called him was that of Post Commander, which position he filled with credit to himself and the satisfaction of the comrades of the Post.
In civil life he was not a drone but ever active and persevering, believing that there was a job for him if he had the courage and energy to look for it. Prompted by this thought he applied successfully for work on a boat on Lake Michigan. He advanced to the position of captain on a steamer, which position he held for a number of years. Quitting the sailor’s life he engaged in farming. He joined Morton Post, November 26, 1904, for which he never lost his attachment, though for years could attend the Post meetings but seldom.
The comrades of Morton Post extend our sympathies to his daughter Mrs. T. DUBUQUE and his sons in their great loss of a good father. It is ordered that our post charter be draped in mourning in memory of Comrade RITCHEY, and also that a copy be place on file on post archives.
