dren, of whom the following seven are now living, viz.: Mary E., the wife of Douglass James, of Illinois; Marshall W., a resident of Cincinnati: Henry Pomeroy, a carpenter living in Ohio; Grove, a citizen of Hocking Co., Ohio; Josiah, who is working at carpentering; Lucy A., who is living at home with her aged mother, and Sarah M., the wife of J. R. Drake, an extensive carriage manufacturer of Lebanon. Mr. Stoddard died in 1860, after having accumulated a considerable fortune, on which his widow has since been able to live in peace, quiet and rest. He was a generous, public-spirited man of sterling qualities; as a business man, either while farming or in the lumber or mercantile business, all of which he followed in Lebanon, he was financially successful. He was a Republican, and a member in good standing of the Presbyterian Church. He subscribed liberally of his means to any enterprise for the public good. He was among the early citizens of Lebanon, and did much toward making it the beautiful town that it is today. The shade trees in Lebanon Cemetery were planted by him and John E. Dey, who was associated with him in that work. He subscribed $4,000 to the first railroad enterprise of Lebanon, and did much toward obtaining liberal subscriptions from others. His death was deeply mourned by a large circle of relatives, and a host of friends. His widow is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and still lives in Lebanon, in the 79th year of her age. The rest of his living family are, with one exception, all married and all doing well. |
