OBITUARY.
DULL. - In Damascus
township, Henry county, O., May 4th, 1888, of tumor,
Delilah Dull, aged 70 years, 18 days, wife of John
Dull. And now, Mr. Editor, your kindness
and indulgence in the pat in granting space in your worthy
paper to speak of the life and character of the departed,
gives us courage to ask again for space to chronicle a few
items, relating to the death of one so widely known, so
highly esteemed. Early in the history of this county,
with her companion they entered the wilds of this part of
the county and entered land, away from the river, and at
that early day were low and wet and seemingly possessing but
few commendable features; but by industry and energy they
changed the forest and apparently low grounds to one of the
finest farms in the township. The deceased was a
daughter of Rev. H. Kimberlin of Wood county, O.,
deceased, and early in life embraced religion and united
with the U. B. Church, of which for many years she was a
worthy member. It was the privilege of the writer to
often visit this home and share their hospitality; I am not
saying to much to assert that Damascus township has lost one
of its best citizens, the home a kind and tender mother, the
husband a loving wife. She will live in the hearts of
many.
The funeral services were held on Sabbath, May 6th, in
the old Beaver Creek Chapel. It was one of the largest
gatherings ever convened at the Chapel; after which she was
taken to the Beaver Creek cemetery to await the resurrection
of the just. J. W. M. |

OBITUARY.
HOOVER - Joseph Hoover was born March, 10th,
1808, and died Sept. 15th, 1889, aged 81 years, 6 months and
5 days.
Mr. Hoover served as an apprentice weaver with
George Stout at which trade he became a very efficient
workman - having followed it as a livelihood for over 30
years. Mr. Hoover was first married at the age
of 20 years to Miss Mary M. Socride, April, 1828,
with whom he lived 10 years, when God saw fit to call
her from the earth, leaving Mr. H., a widower with
eight small children, four of whom are yet living. He
remained a widower for two years - was again married to a
Miss Mary Neff July 2nd, 1840, with whom he lived 32
years, when God again saw fit to deprive him of his
companion, leaving him a widower with four more children.
He remained single seven years when he again took unto
himself another companion by the name of Mary Babcock
with whom he lived for 10 years, when God saw fit to
all him from earth to Glory.
Mr. Hoover was born in Fairfield County,
Ohio, where he resided until September, '48, when he moved
to Henry Co., where he has lived ever since -
Henry county at that time being very sparsely settled.
He is termed one of its oldest settlers, and the oldest man
in Liberty township at the time of his death. He
leaves seven children living, four left with the first wife
and three with the second. He also leaves twenty-four
grand children and twelve great grand children.
He cast his first Presidential vote for Andrew
Jackson, in 1832, and voted for every Democratic
candidate since, never missing a campaign. He was a
member in good standing of the Christian Union Church for
over twenty-seven years. He died a christian and is
now reaping the reward of a long and well spent christian
journey.
The pall bearers were Jacob Segrist, Geo. Tester,
John Frederic, James Young, Geo. Chroninger and
Samuel Snyder. The funeral was held at the Hebron
Church, Rev. McBride officiating. His remains
were interred in the Liberty Chapel Cemetery, there to
remain until the Judgment day, when, we are told, it will be
resurrected.
Dear children, mourn not for him, for he has gone to
that place where sorrow and trouble never enter and
affliction never can come. The deceased died of
consumption.
Through days of doubt and
darkness a

Suicide at Defiance
At 8 o'clock Friday afternoon
Clinton D. Turner, a well-known citizen of Defiance,
donned his best wearing apparel, and telling his wife that
he was going down street, left the house. At supper
time he did not return, and inquiry developed the fact that
he had not been seen anywhere during the afternoon.
Search for the missing man was at once instituted, and was
continued until about 10 o'clock, when L. C. Davidson
learned that a hat had been found near the river by a boy
named Streicker. The boy was found and at once
located the spot where he had found the hat.
The Auglaize river was dragged,
and a body found, which proved to be that of Turner,
who had committed suicide by drowning. His mind
was unbalanced by recent real estate speculations, he
believing that he had been swindled in the deals. He
was a respected citizen, and a married man, but leaves no
children. |

Sad Death
Died at the home of her parents
in Washington township, Sept. 14th '95, Ella,
daughter of Jas. and Sarah Biggins, aged 17 years, 8
months and 23 days. The lady was one of our gifted
young teachers who through perseverance her work had nobly
begun. But the reaper of death oft takes the fairest
flowers among his harvest. She leaves her sorrowing
parents, her brothers and sister and a large circle of
friends, to mourn her untimely departure.
