Bahney, Isaac -- Isaac Bailey, a resident of Lucas, was struck and almost instantly killed this morning near that place at 8:30 o'clock by the Pennsylvania work train going west.  He was walking along the track on his way to his farm and saw the train, but though he made an effort to get off of the track, he was unable to do so in time to avoid the train.  The accident occurred near the water crane this side of Lucas.  He was hurled over a bridge by the force with which he was struck.  Corner Baughman was summoned and went to the scene of the fatality at 11:15 o'clock.  Mr. Bahney was formerly a blacksmith, but on account of age had retired some time ago.  He had accumulated some property and owned a farm near the village.    He was about 75 years of age and leaves a wife and two daughters.  The daughters are Mrs. Al Lucas, of 16 South Adams Street, and Mrs. D.S.

Bahney, Isaac -- Lucas.  For many years Isaac Bahney has been a very familiar form on our streets and among us, but that form now lies silent in the grave, he having met with a sad and tragic death last week by being killed by a railway train in returning from his farm, whither he had gone to feed his stock.  It had been his habit to go and attend his stock every morning and return by way of the railroad to the depot.  That morning he was returning as usual and saw the train approaching, but he no doubt miscalculated its speed for he was trying to reach the depot platform, but he was just one step too late, for he was just in the act of stepping to the platform as he was hit and instantly killed.  Why could not he have been one step further forward?  Or why could not the train have been just one foot further back?  Either one would have saved his life.  He leaves a widow and two daughters, the latter Mrs. D.S. Parry and Mrs. Albert Lucas, both of Mansfield.  [Semi-Weekly News:  29 January 1897, Vol. 13, No. 9]

Baker occurred last Sunday afternoon, his disease, the fatal diphtheria, baffling the skill of the physicians and rendering all their efforts futile.  The lancing of the throat without which the disease itself would have led necessarily to death, resulted in blood poisoning, the immediate cause of his death.  Dr. Baker, although his residence in this city had been of comparatively short duration, had a large circle of friends by whom his death is keenly felt.  The funeral services which took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock were largely attended, the Royal Arcanum, Masonic Lodge, Knights of Honor and McLaughlin Post, G.A.R., of all which associations the deceased was a member turned out to the services.  Dr. Baker leaves a wife and four children, the youngest a babe in arms, who while losing a good husband and kind father are amply provided for by the prudence and forethought of the deceased.  To them, in this, their hour of sorrow, is extended the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends.   [Ohio Liberal:  26 September 1883]

He was a Mason and requested the lodge to bury him, but the family preferred otherwise. But the sprig of acacia will mark the spot we hope when our work on the trestle board is over we shall meet in the celestial world above. [(Mansfield) Weekly News: 05 July 1888, Vol. 5, No. 31]

Barer, Mary Ann -- Shelby, O., March 16 -- One of the most shocking accidents within the history of Shelby occurred this morning.  At an early hour Mrs. Mary Ann Barer, wife of Peter Barer, was found by Mrs. William Lantsbough lying on the floor at the family residence burned to a crisp.  It appears that the old lady arose and built the fire, from which by some mishap her clothes were ignited, and she burned to death before assistance could be rendered.  Her husband, who is old and decrepit, lay sick in bed within a few feet of where she was suffering the most excruciating torture, during her death struggle, and although frantic with grief and alarm was unable to render her any assistance.  She was seventy years of age and was highly respected by all who knew her. The chock had a serious effect on her husband, who, it is thought, will not long survive the terrible calamity.  The old couple are reported to be quite wealthy, but owing to their secluded way of living but few people knew anything of their affairs.  --  [Bellville Star:  19 March 1885, Vol. 8, No. 25]

Barkdall, Thomas -- We last week noticed the death of this distinguished minister of the Gospel, on the 1st. of Jan., 1869.  We first became acquainted with the deceased about ten years ago, and his kindness, and sympathy to us, in the most afflicting circumstances endeared him to us.  We are indebted to Rev. W.H. Painter for the following biographical sketch of his life:  Mr. Barkdull was widely known as a distinguished minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and endeared to a large circle of admiring friends.  In early manhood he experienced the converting grace of God, and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in 1835, he was received on trial in the Ohio Conference as a traveling preacher.  The Ohio Conference then covered the entire northern part of the State, comprising the territory now composing the North Ohio, and the Central Ohio Conferences, with but two or three presiding Elders' districts, and membership of a few hundred.  During the thirty-three years of his ministerial labor he saw the Church of his love steadily increase in numbers, and influence, until the one Conference grew to two, with thirteen presiding Elder's districts, and a membership of some thirty thousand.  He was one of the pioneers, and his labors with God's blessing contributed not a little to the results above stated.  He stood high in esteem, and confidence of his brethren in the conference, and once or twice represented them in the General Conference.  Of the thirty three years of his effective ministry, fully one half was upon Districts as presiding Elder.  He was an able and successful minister, a true friend, a Christian gentleman, a safe counselor, a kind and faithful husband, and parent.  His loss will be severely felt by his family, his conference, and his large circle of friends.  Submitted by Amy.   [Shelby Independent News:  14 January 1869]

Barr, Samuel -- Samuel Barr, one of the oldest residents of Monroe township, died suddenly Saturday evening, March 1, of heart failure. Mr. Barr had lived upon the farm, a mile north of Lucas, where he died, nearly his whole life. His father, David Barr, came from Pennsylvania in the early days of the county and entered Richland which was still government land. Samuel Barr sprang from a hardy, vigorous race of people and by reason of qualities inherited and virtue of a pure and exemplary life he lacked but a few months of the Psalmist's limit when the chapter of his life was finished. It can truthfully be said of him as can be said of but few who live a busy life extending toward the four score, that he never said a harsh word of any man and probably no man ever said a harsh word of him. He never lost a friend and never made an enemy. He was a farmer all his life and lived the plain, simple, unostentatious life of country people. In his youth he became a member of the Lutheran church and lived a Christian life to the end. He left four daughters, the eldest Mrs. William Durban, who lives on the farm where he died; Mrs. Kerr, of Mansfield; Mrs. Swigert, of Kansas, and Mrs. Sheridan McFarland, of Mansfield, Funeral from the Lutheran church in Lucas at 10:30 Tuesday.  Submitted by Jean & Faye.  [Mansfield News:  03 March 1902]

Barr, William -- Died, on the 6th. inst., in the 73 year of his age, Mr. Wm. Barr, Elder of the A.R.C. in Troy.  He was a native of Ireland, imigrated (sic) in early life to this country -- abode for some time in Pennsylvania, and finally fixed his residence in this section of Ohio.  Instructed in his youth in the reformation principles of religion he bore a pointed testimony against every innovation and contended earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.  He was a man who was personally afflicted from his youth so that the grace of patience was wonderfully perfected in him as well as that of faith and resignation.  Nor was he exempted from other crosses and tribulations incident to the righteous, which instead of awakening a spirit of murmur only improved his meekness and humility.  These excellencies of his character connected with publick (sic) and social virtues rendered him an interesting citizen in church and state -- a kind husband -- an affectionate father and a devout and steady follower of the Lord.  Blessed are they who die in the Lord -- yea saith the spirit for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them.  [Mansfield Gazette & Richland Farmer:  13 August 1828]

Barts, Johnnie -- Lexington.  We have been shocked by another railroad accident.  This time it is on of our oldest citizens, Johnnie Barts, who met his death on Saturday forenoon, October 8, while at work on the section near town.  A passing freight had disconnected, the parts being close together.  The men stepped off the track for the engine and its part, and as it had passed Mr. Barts stepped on again.  The men hollowed at him but too late.  The rear end struck him on the right shoulder, knocking him from the track, crushing his shoulder and breaking several of his ribs.  Dr. H.H. Smith attended the injured man and did the best for his condition but his injuries were too severe to save him from an untimely death.  Mr. Barts intended quitting the section this fall for good.  As he has worked on the section at this place for 32 years, he was entitled to a pension of 25 cents a day the remainder of his life without work.  Mr. Barts funeral took place at 2 o'clock Monday.  He will be interred at the Lexington Cemetery.  He leaves many friends to mourn his loss.  [Bellville Star:  13 October 1887, Vol. 11, No. 3]

Baughman, A.D. -- Mr. A.D. Baughman, many years ago engaged in the dry goods business here, died at his home in Charlotte, Mich., Saturday of last week.  Funeral services were held this week, Friday, and were attended by F.W. Kirtland of this city, who was a life long friend of the deceased.  --  [Plymouth Advertiser:  28 November 1914, Vol. 62, No. 2]

Baughman, A.D. -- A.D. Baughman, for nearly half a century closely identified with the business life of Charlotte and Eaton county, died Saturday night following a long period of ill health.  Mr. Baughman's illness dates from a hard fall on an icy walk seven years ago.  While he temporarily improved and his health was normal for some time his long affliction was the result of injuries received at that time.  Mrs. Baughman lovingly dedicated her whole life to his care and comfort and his sickness has been a beautiful example of courage and devotion on her part.  Mr. Baughman was born in Havensport, Fairfield County, Ohio, Oct. 1, 1841.  When he was a lad of three his parents moved to Plymouth, Ohio, where he spent his young manhood and obtained his education.  At the age of sixteen he began clerking in a general store for $100 a year.  As his services became more valuable his wages were increased and he continued in this work until 1864 when he enlisted in the Civil War.  Mr. Baughman heeded the call of his country and enlisted in the 1st. Independent Ohio battery and was soon detailed as clerk in the quartermaster's department and stationed at Martinsburg where he was on duty when the battle of Winchester was fought.  Mr. Baughman remained in the service until the close of the war, receiving an honorable discharge and returned to Plymouth where he resumed his former vocation.  Mr. Baughman was a member of A.S. Williams Post, G.A.R., and gave freely of his resources to advance the post, but his heavy business responsibilities precluded him from taking active leadership.  While still in the government service and camping with his regiment near Washington, Mr. Baughman and a comrade obtained a leave of absence to attend the Ford Theatre, the night of Lincoln's assassination, and was an eyewitness to this history making shot.  By a most remarkable coincidence he was a Pan-American Exposition visitor at Buffalo and was in the government building when the sound of the shot that killed President McKinley was echoed through the building.  Mrs. Baughman was with him at Buffalo.  Probably no other man in America, living or dead, ever witnessed the assassination of two American presidents, a fate, if fate it may be called, meted out to few men.  Completing the foundation for his future business career at Plymouth, Mr. Baughman came to Charlotte in 1867 and entered the dry goods field, a business he followed for upwards of forty years, in fact the business now owned by S.E. Cook & Co. has only two proprietors in half a century, a remarkable tribute to Mr. Baughman's years of honorable dealing.  No name is more familiar to Eaton county people than Mr. Baughman's;  for nearly half a century the first page of the Charlotte newspapers carried his advertisement in the same position and his remarkable financial success he always said was in a large measure due to his policy of consistent advertising.  Mr. Baughman as been as active in local banking circles as he was in the field of business.  He was one of the original stockholders and officers of the Merchants' National Bank and Eaton County Savings Bank, its successor.  He was vice-president of both institutions for many years and afterwards made president, retiring from that station when ill health forced such a step.  His banking career was characterized by the same rugged honesty that made his name the synonym of business honor.  Mr. Baughman was a democrat, but never permitted his politics to become offensive.  Save for the first Bryan campaign, when he was the gold democratic candidate for congress in this district, he was active in his party councils, his switch alone extending to the national campaign referred to.  He was always a familiar figure at national conventions, either as a delegate or spectator.  He served the city as alderman, mayor, member of the library board during the entire existence of the board, besides filling various commission appointments, and in everything of a public mission he brought to his work the same high minded ideals he followed in his every day affairs.  Deceased was a thirty-second degree Mason, past eminent of Charlotte Commandery and as a younger man active in all branches of the Masonic fraternity.  Mr. Baughman was married in 1868 to Miss Hattie C. Fouts of this city, who survives.  --  [Plymouth Advertiser:  12 December 1914, Vol. 62, No. 4 - as re-printed from the Charlotte (Mich.) Republican]

Baughman, Elizabeth (Cunningham) -- Another of the pioneers of Richland County has crossed the river to join the friends departed.  Mrs. Elizabeth C. Baughman died at her home on South Adams Street at 11:45 o'clock this forenoon.  Mrs. Baughman sustained a severe chill last Tuesday morning which developed into an attack of la grippe.  She grew gradually worse although everything possible was done to relieve her.  During her short illness she talked repeatedly of her death, which she expected would occur, and was prepared to greet the grim messenger.  She called her children to her bedside this forenoon, and as they were kneeling before her her spirit took its flight.  She died very peacefully, as she had lived.  Mrs. Elizabeth Baughman, daughter of James and Hannah Cunningham, was born near Black Hand, Licking County, Ohio, March 8, 1805.  Her mother dying when she was an infant, she was raised by her grandfather, Michael Statler, a wealthy farmer living near Black Hand.  In 1819 Mrs. Baughman came to Richland County with her father, who had remarried.  They settled near Newville, where Mrs. Baughman remained until Sept. 27, 1825 when she married Jacob Baughman, of Monroe Twp.  Mr. & Mrs. Baughman lived in Monroe, Worthington and Jefferson Townships.  Mr. Baughman died in Monroe Twp. March 20, 1855, at the age of 63 years.  Mrs. Baughman then removed to Bellville, where she resided until 1869, when she removed to Mansfield, where she has since resided.  The deceased was the mother of five children -- Mary C., deceased, wife of Abraham Lash;  Hannah L., wife of David Herring, deceased;  Margaret C., deceased, wife of Freeman Carlisle;  Abraham J. Baughman and Miss Sadie E. Baughman.  The last two named have always lived with their mother.  Mrs. Baughman was one of the pioneer women of old Richland.  Having come to this county when it was a wilderness she saw towns and villages spring up and saw the forests disappear before the sturdy blows of the woodman's ax.  It is doubtful if any woman in this section was more widely known than "Mother Baughman" as she was called by all who knew her, and today many hearts are bleeding at the thought that she is no more, but she had lived more than her allotted years, and was ready to die.  In her younger days, before she began to feel the effects of age, she was a prominent church worker and for many years did much to further the cause of her Master.  While still a child she joined the Christian church, of which organization she was a member at the time of her death.  The funeral will be held from the residence Monday afternoon.  Elder G.M. Kemp, of the Christian church, will officiate.  The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved.  --  [Richland Shield & Banner:  01 December 1894, Vol. LXXVII, No. 29]  Later in the same paper ... The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth C. Baughman was held this afternoon.  At 1 o'clock prayer was offered at the house, on South Adams Street, by Rev. D.F. Davies, after which the remains were conveyed to the Christian church, on East Third Street, where an able and eloquent sermon was delivered by Rev. G.M. Kemp, who spoke at considerable length on the fact that for many years the deceased had been one of the most active workers in the Christian church and at all times she had the love and respect of all who knew her and they were almost without number.  After the sermon the remains were interred in the Mansfield Cemetery, where they will remain until that last great day.  An immense crowd attended the services at the church and followed the remains to the grave as a last testimony of their high regard for the noble old lady who has gone before.

Baughman, Nancy (Eversole) -- Departed this life on the 13th. inst., at her late home in Perry Township, Mrs. Nancy Baughman, aged 86 years, 7 months and 13 days.  Mrs. Baughman was a daughter of Jacob Eversole, and was born in Erie County, Penn., March 31, 1793.  In 1812 her parents moved to Knox County, Ohio, where she lived with them until 1821.  At this time she was married to John W. Baughman, and in the same year she and her husband removed to York County, Penn.  This was their home until 1829, when they came to Richland County, Ohio, settling on a farm, where she lived upwards of fifty years.  The farm is now occupied by their son, Jacob E. Baughman.  Her husband preceded her to the "eternal world" and now she leaves two daughters, two sons, and many other friends to mourn her loss.  Mother Baughman, during her long life of more than four score and six years, passed through many trials and hardships;  but she was a devoted Christian.  She united with the German Lutheran Church in 1821, and the Christian's faith and hope was hers to the end of her pilgrimage.  The funeral services were held at the Salem Lutheran Church on the 15th. inst., and in the absence of the pastor, Rev. G.U. Heindel, were conducted by Rev. W.W. Anderson, of Bellville, O.  Her remains were buried in the adjoining cemetery, awaiting the resurrection of the just.  Another pioneer has left this life for another and happier world than this.  She came to her grave "in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in its season."  [Ohio Liberal:  26 November 1879]
