VAN WERT BULLETIN
SUDDEN DEATH
Of a Leading Citizen of Van Wert.
Perrin DePuy is no More.
nbsp: One by one the pioneers of this county are passing away, and their places are being filled by others. Seldom have these changes been more keenly felt than in the death of the person whose name heads this article, because but few have resided longer in the county, and none have been more active and energetic while living. Perrin DePuy removed to this town in the year 1845, and entered upon the practice of the law, and, after a successful practice of about five years, became interested in the gold excitement of California and forming a company from this section of the country, crossed the plans in search of the rich gold fields reported to be in that region.-Not being as successful in the mines of the West as in the woods of Van Wert, after an absence of about two years, he returned to this place, much reduced in finances, and again entered his profession with renewed energy, and has since that time, been engaged in its practice; though for the last few years he has been working himself out of business. Having accumulated a goodly portion of this world's goods, and having but few dependent upon him, he was beginning to work more for pleasure than profit. To this end he was given his attention somewhat to agriculture, in which he took especial interest and pleasure. He had cleared, improved and drained two or three farms to suit his own peculiar taste, and, by this example, was teaching an important lesson to much older farmers than him- self.
On last Friday morning Mr. DePuy entered his office in apparently as good health as usual. In a few minutes he complained of a severe pain in his head. and in a moment fell from his seat in an entire helpless condition, from which time he never moved a muscle, though he continued to breathe until Saturday night, at half-past ten o'clock, when he passed away. Apoplexy, in its most fatal form. had seized him and all efforts of kind friends and skilled physicians failed to relieve him from its first attack.
Thus has passed away, without a moment's warning, one who has mingled with the citizens of Van Wert for a quarter of a century; and who has been identified with its growth and prosperity, and has shared its hardships and adversities one who had justly acquired a character for industry, frugality, exactness and strict integrity.
