Flaharty, Estella May --
A Sad
Event. Estella May Flaharty, One of Bellville’s Brightest, Most
Accomplished, Hopeful and Fairest Prospects of Life, Taken off in one
Single Night. Miss Estella May Flaharty is no more. Such is the sad
news we are called upon to chronicle this week, and sad news indeed it
is. It is sad that one so young, so useful, so good should be removed
from the earth; and the circumstances attending her death make it far
more sad still. It is doubtful whether there has occurred in our
village any event that has produced such a shock, and occasioned so much
sincere sorrow. The circumstances attending her death are as follows:
On Wednesday evening, May 24, when she retired she took with her a vial
of chloroform expecting, by inhaling some of its contents to obtain
relief from severe neuralgic pains from which she was suffering. The
next morning when Mrs. Wagner, her grandmother, went to call her she
found her sleeping the sleep that knows no awakening here on earth.
Miss Flaharty had been subject to violent neuralgic pains, and for
several months has been using chloroform in order to obtain relief. On
one occasion when she awoke in the morning she found the vial beside her
on the bed uncorked, and the chloroform all evaporated, which greatly
frightened her. This fact she related to her aunt, Mrs. Howard, of
Mansfield, who warned her to be careful. The family were not aware that
she ever had chloroform in her room, but supposed that she had only that
which she used in their presence. She was laboring hard at school, it
being examination week, and had for several days been suffering
intensely, and the strain upon her induced her, no doubt, to inhale the
chloroform more freely than she otherwise would. At any rate, the empty
bottle was in her hand close to her nostrils on the morning that she was
found cold in death. Estella May Flaharty was born in Bellville, Ohio,
Feb. 18th., 1874 departed this life May 25th., 1893, aged 19 years, 3
months and 7 days. She was an orphan, and the only grandchild of Mr.
and Mrs. Solomon Wagner, with whom she has always lived and whose
comfort and stay she was, their own children all being dead. She
graduated from our High School two years ago and since that time has
been employed as a teacher in our public schools. She proved herself to
be a very exemplary young lady. She had great force of character, and
was brilliant in an unusual degree. She was loving and kind, of
cheerful disposition, devoutly pious, and enjoyed the esteem and
confidence of all about her. “None knew her but to love her” is almost
literally true in her case. Her death has caused widespread sorrow.
<<large portion of this article missing>> She delighted every body in
her commencement oration on the subject “The Influence of Woman”. How
sad it is to chronicle this day the fact, that she lies in yonder
cemetery, cold and pale, dressed in that same commencement costume when
she looked as fresh and sweet as the new born rose. Estella never
failed in a recitation. It was her ambition to excel in every branch.
Never before did a scholar have so many friends among the other grades.
She carried sunshine wherever she went and was absolutely free from
those petty jealousies so common among classes. She was High School
teacher the greater part of the year and was employed in the schools for
the coming year. The whole of her school life is worthy of imitation.
She turned neither to the right nor to the left but marched boldly on.
Christian Life. Her Christian life was most exemplary. She was one of
those favored ones who grow up in the church. When she was two years of
age her mother, who was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church,
presented her to God in baptism. In a short time she became
a member of the Sunday School. Two months after the death of her
mother, which occurred Feb. 1_, 1888, Estella made a public profession
of her faith in Christ. She was then fourteen years of age. At the age
of sixteen she became the teacher of the class of boys which had been
taught by her mother, but a short time she relinquished this class to
accept a class of girls, which she taught until the Sunday morning
before her death. She was also president of the Young People’s Society
of Christian Endeavor. These positions were filled with credit to
herself and to the profit and pleasure of those whom she served. The
funeral services were conducted in the Presbyterian church on Saturday
afternoon, May 27, at two o’clock, by her pastor, the Rev. C.W.
Caldwell, who was assisted by the Rev. S.S. Kauffman, pastor of the
Lutheran Church. The public schools were present in a body, so also was
the order of Good Templars in which she held a prominent position. To
the right of the pulpit sat her Sunday School class. Tearful and sad.
The friends from abroad were Hon. David Wagner, brother of Solomon
Wagner, of West Wheeling, O., and his daughter, Mrs. Gow, of Bellaire,
O., ____ Mentz, Esq., and his granddaughter, of Hollidaysburg, Pa., W.H.
Raudebaugh and wife, of Cleveland, and a goodly number from Mansfield.
Seldom is one permitted to look upon a more sorrowful audience. The
church was crowded to overflowing. The floral designs were very
beautiful and were offered by the following: Y.P.S.C.E., Sunday School
class, teachers of the public schools, Grammar school and Mrs. Elmer
Shafer, Lodge of Good Templars, King’s Daughters, Mr. and Mrs. A.M.
Young, Villa and Zora Adams and Gena Ackerman, and others. After the
organ voluntary had ceased the choir sang “The Sweet Bye and Bye”, which
had been a favorite
with
the deceased. The sermon was preached from the text in I. Peter
I:24,25: “For all flesh is as grass, and the glory of man as the mower
of grass. The grass with____, and the flower thereof fallen away; but
the word of the Lord endureth forever.” <<remainder of article

Flannery, Bartholomew -- Death continues to make inroads among the
well known people of the city, another being added to the list this
morning. The latest acquisition to the fold of the grim reaper is none
other than ex-Sheriff Flannery, who suddenly passed away at his home,
No. 186 North Main Street, at 7:45 o'clock this morning after an illness
of about ten days. Mr. Flannery complained of being ill. Stomach trouble
developed and the victim took to his bed. He grew rapidly worse and his
trouble resulted in death at the hour mentioned. Relatives and friends
of the deceased did not surmise that his illness was particularly
dangerous and therefore the end was unexpected. Bartholomew Flannery was
born in Ireland, near the town of Naneagh, in the county of Tipperary,
58 years ago. He emigrated to the United States arriving in this country
May 16, 1863 and became a resident of New York City. In May, 1867, Mr.
Flannery removed to Mansfield and has been a resident of this city ever
since. The deceased was always a faithful Democrat and a hustler for his
party and was always very liberal to the poor. In May, 1885, Mr.
Flannery was nominated by his party for Sheriff of Richland County and
defeated J.T. Crabbs, the Republican nominee, in the fall election of
the same year. He was re-nominated without opposition in 1887 and was
re-elected to succeed himself and served with credit during his two
terms and retired with an excellent record. This concluded Mr.
Flannery's public service, for although a candidate for the nomination
of treasurer upon the Democratic ticket at the spring primaries, he was
defeated by his opponent, J.M. Bell. Mr. Flannery, who was known as a
big-hearted citizen, was always on and in case of a death to render all
the assistance in his power. A wife and a sister, Miss Kate Flannery, of
North Diamond Street, are the surviving relatives in this country. He
has a brother residing in Ireland. The funeral will take place from the
Catholic Church, of which the deceased was a faithful member, Monday
morning at 9 o'clock. Interment in the Catholic Cemetery. -- [Richland

life to her spirit, and thus having “part in the first resurrection”,
she “walked” — how well, how true. God knoweth, “for the Lord knoweth
them that are his.” While the South wind was reaching for the
flower-sweet prophesies of the resurrection, while Spring is budding
into life, and while song birds returning, were singing their vespers,
she, a weary child of Nature, and of Nature’s own great God, paused
‘neath the golden noon of life, and catching a halo of glory and a
promise of rest from the eternal world, exchanged the chafing bands

finger of love thou dost touch the harp of life. And when thou didst
smite these tender chords of love this fond heart did respond to her

residing on East Second Street. Fleming, who is known in this city as

Foss, William -- This community will be pained to learn of the death
of William Foss, at Los Angeles, Cal., to which place he removed some
eight years ago on account of ill health. Mr. Foss was born in Wagendorf, Nassau, and at an early age emigrated to this country,
settled in Washington Township, in this county, where he resided for
many years and worked at his trade, blacksmithing. He afterwards removed
to this city, where by strict attention to business he acquired a
competency. He was among the first to manufacture cigars in this city,
which has since become a large industry. He served for two terms as
infirmary director of this county and was a careful and conscientious
public officer. He filled many minor public officers, and always
efficiently and to the satisfaction of the public. He was a prominent
member of the I.O.O.F. and was well and favorably known in the
community, and his death will be universally regretted. Mr. Foss passed
away Jan. 17 and leaves a wife and five children. [RICHLAND SHIELD &

Foulke, Oliver E. -- Fearing paralysis, and with the dread of
becoming a charge on his loved ones, Oliver E. Foulke put a revolver to
his head and sent a bullet crashing through his brain, Saturday
afternoon about 5 o'clock on the front porch of his home, No. 360 Park
Ave. West. The tragedy came as a terrible shock to his wife, son,
Herbert M. Foulke, and a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
There was never an intimation that Mr. Foulke contemplated taking his
own life. He was never known to brood or to worry. He was not despondent
and on the last day of his life, he was about in good humor, laughing
and joking with friends. Mr. Foulke had followed several cases of
paralysis with considerable interest but no one suspected that he was
worrying about it to such an extent that it led to taking his life. Two
letters were left by the deceased. Neither was dated. One letter was
addressed to Mrs. Foulke, his wife, and the other to his son, Herbert M.
Foulke. He stated in the letters that he feared paralysis and that he
would be a charge upon them. Mr. Foulke had complained of numbness in
his arms and limbs at times and this is thought to have caused him to
the hallucination that he would have a stroke. It is thought that he

Foulks, Frank -- After having lingered for nearly two weeks, Frank Foulks, the employee at Gates Bros. livery stable, who attempted suicide
Sunday afternoon, Feb. 6, by cutting his throat with a shoe knife in one
of the stalls at the barn, died Thursday morning about 4 o'clock. The
body was removed to J.A. Niman's undertaking establishment this morning,
where it was prepared for burial. The fact that he had been unconscious
for some time before his condition was discovered and he had lost a
large quantity of blood, made his recovery very doubtful and it was
thought that he could not survive the night. He rallied however, was
given careful medical attention and seemed to be getting better steadily
but he suffered a relapse and the efforts to save the life which he
tried to destroy were without avail and his efforts at self-destruction
were finally successful. Despondency was the motive, no doubt, which
prompted the deed. He was about 46 years of age. He was married and had
two sons. His wife, who survives him, secured a divorce some time ago.
The body will be placed in the vault at the cemetery and later will be
taken to Rome for burial. -- [Semi-Weekly News (Mansfield): 18 February

France, Enoch H. -- Old and Well Known Citizen Passes Away, Aged 86
-- LONG AND ACTIVE BUSINESS LIFE -- Born in England He Came With His
Parents When a Lad to This Country - His Earlier Activities Were at
Lucas and in Later Years His Operations - Were Directed from This City
and Bloomville - Funeral Friday at 2 p.m. - Enoch H. France, one of the
best known residents of Mansfield, died at his home in the France flats
on West Second street, Tuesday evening at 7:15 o'clock, having completed
not only the allotted three score and ten, but more than four score. Mr.
France was born in Yorkshire, near Leeds, England, Jan. 6, 1820, and was
therefore 86 years of age on his last birthday anniversary. His father
was a weaver by trade and brought his family to the United States when
Enoch was but seven years of age. After residing for a time in
Massachusetts, the father removed to Richland county, Ohio, and settled
near Lucas, where he ran a woolen mill in the winter and a saw mill in
the summer. The latter was used in getting out timbers for the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. At the time of the outbreak of the civil
war Mr. France, who had received his business training in his father's
mill, purchased a partner's interest and later became sole owner of the
business. Later he abandoned the woolen mill enterprise and took
contracts for supplying crushed stone for railroads, public roads and
street improvements. Later he admitted his sons to the partnership. At
Bloomville and Middle Point they operated large limestone quarries and
they also had a sandstone quarry in Coshocton county. They furnished
many miles of ballast for the Pennsylvania road and its branches. On
Oct. 9, 1851, Mr. France was joined in marriage to Miss Rachel Ross, of
near Lucas. To the couple were born five children as follows: Ira
France, Nat France, of Bloomville, Mary France (died at age of 19
years), William G. France, of Van Wert, and Mrs. A. R. Hale, of this
city. The widow also survives. The deceased has two brothers and two
sisters, George W. France of Hoquiam, Wash., Walter France, of Seattle,
Wash., Mrs. Ann Lilly, of Spokane, Wash., and Mrs. Liza McCleary, of
Stewart, Ia. In his political affiliations Mr. France was a Republican,
but he never sought political place. He gave his time to his business
affairs. Both he and his wife are members of the Presbyterian church.
Mr. France came back to Mansfield in 1879 and about 1898 he quit active
business and retired, leaving the affairs of the concern of which he was
the head in the hands of his sons. Mr. France enjoyed comparatively good
health and was able to get about town until within about two weeks of
his death. After taking to his bed he weakened gradually, but was
conscious and clear in his mind at times during his last illness,
readily calling people by their names. The funeral services will take
place at the late residence Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock and will be
private. The Rev. D. J. Meese, pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
will officiate. Friends and acquaintances will have an opportunity to
view the remains at the house between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 o'clock
p.m. Friday. The casket will be placed in the public vault at the
cemetery until spring. Submitted by Jean and Faye. [Mansfield News: 07

France, Ira F. -- DEATH CALLS IRA F. FRANCE. Ira F. France, one of
Mansfield's best known citizens, and well known over this and
neighboring cities as a result of his active association for many years
with the France company, railroad and dredging contractors, died Monday
morning at 9 o'clock at his home, 50 Sturges avenue, in this city, after
having been practically unconscious since Dec. 23, when he sustained a
second stroke of paralysis, the first stroke having been Jan. 30, 1909,
which affected his entire right side and from which he never fully
recovered. In the death of Mr. France Mansfield loses one of its most
respected and substantial citizens, a man who has succeeded to a marked
degree in the large affairs of the business world and who has been
largely responsible for the building up of a great contracting company,
the business of the firm having gradually extended until it now has
operating points in many cities of Ohio and some neighboring states. Mr.
France who was a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. France, was born in Lucas
Oct. 13, 1856, his father at that time having been engaged in operating
a quarry in that village. The family came to Mansfield in 1867 and as a
young man Ira evidenced an ambition to take up responsibilities of an
active business life. He went to Reed City, Mich., where he secured an
interest in a planing mill but sold this interest two years later and
returned to Mansfield, becoming associated with his father in the
contracting work of railroad bridge construction and grading. In 1886
the family moved to Bloomville where E. H. France and his three sons
began operating a stone quarry, also taking large contracts for railroad
bridge construction and dredging. Ira France was president of the France
company, vice-president of the France Dredging and Construction company,
a director of the Erie Stone company and also a director of the Citizens
National bank of Mansfield. The company now operates quarries at
Dunkirk, Middlepoint, Bloomville, North Baltimore, Holland and
Huntington, Ind., and has in operation fifteen steam shovels in contract
work and quarrying. The company furnished practically all the stone
ballast for the Pennsylvania railroad between Pittsburg and Chicago and
for the Baltimore & Ohio railroad between Pittsburg and Chicago. For a
number of years the main offices of the company had been maintained at
Bloomville but a fine suite of office rooms had been fitted up in the
Ohio building at Toledo and the company moved into these the first of
the year, Mr. France's death having come at a time that prevented his
opening the new offices of the company in whose activities he had been
such a prominent figure. The largest local contract carried through by
the France company was the designing of the Rockyfork _____ _____ _____.
Mr. France maintained an office in Mansfield for _____ in connection
with the _____ _____ and ______ of ______. [This next paragraph was
entirely illegible, as is the beginning of the following paragraph.]
............ on Jan. 30 of last year and while he recovered from this to
some extent he did not recover his speech nor the entire use of his
right side and it was realized that his condition was such that another
stroke might be expected at any time. The second stroke came a few days
before Christmas and since then he had clung to life by but a slender

France, Rachel (Ross) -- PIONEER RESIDENT OF COUNTY IS DEAD -- Mrs.
Rachel France Passes Away -- After Having Passed Ninety-first Birthday
-- Mrs. Rachel France, one of the oldest persons living in Richland
county, died at 2:30 o’clock this morning at her home, 42 west Second
street. She celebrated her ninety-first birthday last May, and the
passing of this good woman is mourned by those who have come to know
that her contribution to her generation was one of great worth and
blessing. Born near Lucas, in 1829, her maiden name was Rachel Ross. Her
marriage to Enoch H. France took place in 1851, and she was the mother
of five children. Of her descendants, two sons, N. R. France, of
Bloomville, and William G. France, of Toledo , 14 grandchildren and
great grandchildren survive her. For many years, Mrs. France resided at
Bloomville, where her husband operated extensive stone quarries. During
recent years, however, she had made her home in Mansfield , where the
family of her son, Ira E. France, was living. Mrs. France was a faithful
member of the First Presbyterian church. Her activities in recent years
have been limited on account of the fact that she had lost her eyesight.
She retained her interest in the affairs of daily life to the last. Her
interest in her children and her children’s children was a matter of
daily thought and prayer. She was a noble Christian woman, with a strong
faith in God and with a loving heart of hospitality. A recent
organization of the First Presbyterian church is known as the
Westminster guild. Its purpose is to study the subject of Christian
missions. When the local chapter was organized, it was given the name of
Rachel France chapter in her honor. Funeral arrangements have not been
completed. Submitted by Jean. [MANSFIELD NEWS: 17 December 1920]

Freehafer, Albertus LeRoy -- The community was saddened Monday
evening when word came from Payette that A.L. Freehafer, beloved
attorney of Council had died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Will
McClure. Mr. Freehafer had been in serious condition for several days.
Death came as a result of a paralytic stroke suffered in August when he
was stricken while hunting grouse. He was in Council hospital for a
couple of weeks and finally improved to the point where he could be
removed to the home of his daughter. He improved somewhat until a week
ago, when a relapse came and which he was unable to throw off. Mr.
Freehafer was born in Mansfield Ohio, in 1868. He grew to manhood there
attending schools in Mansfield and went on to graduate from college
there. After graduating he entered a law office in Mansfield where he
studied law for three years. About 1900 he and his young bride came west
to Scofield, Utah, at which place he taught school for a couple of
years, and about 1902 they came to Council valley to teach in the
Council schools. He was principal of the Council schools for a number of
years. During that time he continued the study of law, finally taking
the state bar examination, which he duly passed and became one of the
early attorneys of the Council region. About this time he entered into
law partnership with James Stinsen. He was also interested in real
estate and had an active part in the early development of the Council
valley. He was in partnership with the late James A. Carr at this time
in a real estate and insurance business. Very few developments of
Council were undertaken at that time without the help of Mr. Freehafer.
He was a director of the first bank of Council and was also attorney for
the bank. In 1914 he was appointed as a member of the State Public
Utilities commission and on this board he served two terms. About 1922,
after leaving the commission, he took up the practice of law at Payette,
being later joined in the law office by Will McClure of Council. He
continued in active work in this office since that time, except for
several years when he was attorney for several of the federal agencies
under the New Deal, even living in Portland for two years while serving
with one agency. In the spring of 1939 he came to Council and opened up
the former Burtenshaw law office and a real estate office and in this he
continued until be became ill this fall. Mr. Freehafer was a life long
democrat and took an active part in politics. He was a member of the
House of Representatives from Washington County while what is now Adams
County was a part of that county. After moving to Payette, he was
elected to a term or two in the state senator and was a candidate for
senator from Adams County when he became ill. He was an early day Odd
Fellow, having joined the order in Mansfield, Ill. [sic] in 1893. After
coming to Council he transferred his membership to that lodge and again
after removing to Payette he became a member of that lodge and of which
he was a member when he passed away. He was widely known over the state
as an Odd Fellow and went through all the offices of the subordinate
lodge. Before leaving Mansfield to take up his home in the west Mr.
Freehafer was married to Miss Robinson. To this union, two children were
born Mrs. Will McClure of Payette and a son Paul also of Payette. The
wife and mother preceded the husband in death shortly after they made
their home in Payette. Funeral services were held in Payette Wednesday
afternoon at the Methodist church with the Rev. Kaemmer conducting the
services. Burial was made in the Riverside cemetery at Payette. The
Payette lodge of Odd Fellows had charge of the graveside services. Three
25-year jewel Council Odd Fellows served as pallbearers, they being
Robert Young, James Winkler and James Henson. Submitted by Nancy.

Freehafer, Andrew -- Hon. A.L. Freehafer, a member of the Public
Utilities Commission, passed through Weiser today enroute to Council in
response to a message announcing the death of his father. Andrew
Freehafer came to this country in 1902 and resided at Council for the
first year. In 1903 he came to Weiser and remained here until 1905 when
he returned to Ohio and lived there until the death of his wife three
years ago. He then came back to Idaho and made his home with his son at
Council. During his residence in Weiser he was known as one of the
happiest dispositioned men in the community, and everybody learned to
know and love him. He had reached a ripe old age, being in his
seventy-fifth year, and his life had been one of usefulness and
consideration for others. After the funeral services at Council the
remains will be taken back to the old home in Richland county, Ohio
where he will be laid to rest in the family plot in Bunker Hill

Fritz, Eva (Schringer) -- Mrs. Eva Fritz, after a brief illness,
departed this life on March 16, 1914, at the age of sixty-nine years.
Mrs. Fritz was born in Germany in 1845, coming to this country at the
age of nine years. She has lived in and near Plymouth, Ohio, most of her
life, where, about eight years ago, she united with the Methodist
Church, having until that time been connected with the church of the
fatherland, the German Lutheran. Mrs. Fritz has been a widow for
thirty-two years, her husband, Mathias Fritz, having died at Waynesburg,
Ohio, in 1882. Two sons were left to a mother's care at the father's
death, William, who died five years ago, and Mathias, with whom she made
her home till the time of her decease. Mrs. Fritz is also survived by
one brother, Frederick Schringer, of Carey, Ohio. It must have taken
some fortitude for this mother, after being compelled to sell the little
home and cobbling shop to pay expenses, to face the world and make a
living for herself and two boys. But there was no wavering, the struggle
was endured, the course was finished, and now life's day of toil ended,
she has been promoted to the well earned, heavenly rest. On the arrival
of the funeral party on the 2:15 p.m. car Wednesday from Shelby,
services were held in the Chapel, conducted by Rev. R.H. Balmer,

Frost, Catherine "Kate" (Brink) -- Mrs. Kate Frost, well known in
Plymouth, died last Thursday morning, March 18, in East Cleveland, at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.H. Gebert, after an illness of several
months. Her age was 65 years, 5 months and 19 days. The greater part of
Mrs. Frost's life was spent in Plymouth. Here it was that she was born,
here she grew up and received her education; here as Catherine Brink,
she was married on November 5, 1867 to Joel Curtis Frost; here she made
her home with her husband and two children until after Mr. Frost's
death. In recent years Mrs. Frost lived in East Cleveland with her
daughter, Mrs. Mary Luana Gebert, who, with a son, Carl Curtis Frost, of
North Yakima, Wash., survive their mother. Two sisters also mourn her
loss, Mrs. Sarah Benson and Mrs. Nellie Fowler, of Wildwood, Mich. Mrs.
Frost was greatly loved by all who knew her. From early childhood she
was a member of the Presbyterian church, and as such was not only
devoted and faithful to her church, regularly attending its services
whenever she was able, but careful also to exhibit in her life the
spirit of Jesus. Many of the graces and virtues of the Master found in
her a rich expression. Even her death was not unlike his, for just as he
commanded his spirit into his Father's hands when he hung on the cross,
so also, when she had bidden her loved ones "goodbye" did she lift her
eyes and utter once more her childhood prayer "Now I lay me down to
sleep." The funeral services were conducted in East Cleveland. Rev.
Roscoe Graham, of Akron, assisted. The many beautiful floral tributes
sent by devoted friends spoke eloquently of the high esteem in which she
was held. The burial took place in Plymouth Sunday. -- [Plymouth

Fry, Thomas -- Thomas Fry, of Crestline, father-in-law of Will Irwin,
the former assistant Pennsylvania ticket agent in this city, was run
over by east-bound extra freight No. 92 yesterday afternoon, and had one
leg cut off and his skull crushed. He also sustained numerous bruises
about the body. The accident occurred about half a mile east of
Crestline and under circumstances that indicate foul play or suicide.
The engineer saw Mr. Fry lying on the track, but was unable to stop his
train before it had passed over the body. The theory of suicide is the
most probable, as it was known that Mr. Fry had been very despondent
since his wife's death a few months ago. The injured man was taken to
Crestline, where Dr. Bennett attended his injuries, but he died a few
hours later. Mr. Fry was an old Pennsylvania passenger conductor and ran
the first Pennsylvania passenger train through this city and was well
known to many of our older citizens. About sixteen years ago he quit
railroading and purchased a farm, which he has operated since that time.

Fulton, William C. -- Bellville. Another young life passed away from
earth, with the last day of the old year. William C. Fulton fell asleep
to wake no more on earth, on the morning of Thursday, Dec. 31st., at his
late home in Washington Township, in the 31st. year of his age. He was
the son of John and Rachel (Campbell) Fulton, and was born Oct. 8, 1855
on the farm where his parents now reside. He was a child of the
baptismal covenant, and grew to manhood deserving the friendship and
esteem of all who knew him. The accident he met with some ten years ago,
just east of Lexington and from which he never fully recovered, brought
him the sympathy of his many friends. He married Miss Mary Wagner, Feb.
24, 1880, and settled on the farm formerly owned by his father-in-law,
Mr. John Wagner. To them were born a son and a daughter. In Feb. 1884 he
united with the Bellville Pres. church on profession of his faith, his
wife, formerly a member of St. Peters' Ger. Pres. church uniting with
him. They brought their children to God in baptism, and many rejoiced at
the precious sight of a whole family taking up the service of God. But
his Christian race was soon run, and the crown immortal was won. Disease
seemed to have fastened itself on him, yet how patiently and without a
murmur he trusted all to God, and said "there is a brighter world than
this". He passed peacefully away to rest. In answer to his earnest
prayer, and the wish of his friends a post-mortem examination satisfied
all, that if life had been prolonged it would have been only more
suffering, his brain being permanently affected by the cut of the saw at
the time of his accident. The funeral service, conducted by his pastor,
W.W. Anderson on Saturday, Jan. 2, was very largely attended, and the
word of God afforded special comfort, the text being, "Wherefore comfort
one another with these words." May God comfort the stricken ones, the
widow and the fatherless by his Word, Spirit and Grace, as only our
Heavenly Father can, and grant them a reunion above in that "brighter
world". --A. -- [Bellville Star: 14 January 1886, Vol. 9, No. 16]

the last year and a half. About 40 years ago she with her husband and
family came to this State, residing in different parts, but mot of the
time in this county. Funeral services were held at her late residence,

relatives, sympathizing friends and neighbors. Her remains were
affectionately consigned to their rest in Oakland Cemetery. -- N.H.L.

Funk, Charles -- Charles Fun, 63, who shot
and fatally wounded himself in the Fisher saloon, Shelby, Thursday
evening, died from the self-inflicted wounds Friday evening at 5:30
o'clock, at the home of his sister, Mrs. J.W. Williams, North Gamble
St., Shelby. According to reports the motive that caused him to
commit suicide was despondency. It is stated that he had been
unable to get work for some time and until a few weeks ago was in
Cleveland. Coming to his old home in Shelby he was unable to find
work and it is thought that with his advanced age, he worried over his
circumstances. He is survived by one sister, two brothers, of
Shelby, and two sons of Atlantic City, N.J. Burial was held
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Oakland Cemetery.

of J.J. Funston, father of John Funston, of this city, who died at St.
Anthony's hospital at Columbus last Tuesday at the advanced age of 80
years. Mr. and Mrs. Funston have returned from Columbus where they
attended his funeral. J.J. Funston was a strong, honest, and
incorruptible Democrat and was proud of his record. In 1861 he was clerk
of the city of Columbus and held this office for four years. He was
afterward superintendent of the Franklin County Infirmary. For many
years he was city market master. For the past 16 years he has been
blind. The funeral services were held in the mortuary chapel at

Furbush, Emma E. (Garfield) -- Bellville. Mrs. Emma Furbush, of
Sidney, Iowa, died recently. She was a sister of W.H. Garfield, of this
place, and was known to many of our citizens. -- [Bellville Star: 05
March 1885, Vol. 8, No. 23]
Furbush, Emma E. (Garfield) -- Mrs. Emma E. Furbush, nee Garfield,
wife of J.B. Furbush, was called "to the rest that remains to the people
of God" Feb. 28 1885. She was born in Richland County, Ohio, in 1840.
Was the daughter of L.B. and Catharine Garfield. She came to Illinois
where she met Mr. J.B. Furbush and they were married Sept. 27, 1857.
They moved to Iowa in 1861 and in 1863 they located at Sidney, where
they have since resided. In 1865 she united with the Christian church
under the labor of Elder C.P. Evans. She has ever adorned the Christian
life by her acts of kindness and manifestations, of love to all with
whom she lived; always kind and obliging to a fault, she appeared to
live to make others happy, sacrificing her own pleasures, that others
might enjoy them. Her devotion to her family knew no bounds. Her home
was her world of love, and her Heaven on earth she was its life, the
center of its affection. Truly she was a helpmate a "gift of God" to her
husband. Her life is an open book read by all that have known her those
that knew her best loved her most. She leaves a sorrow stricken husband
and eight children and aged mother and a large number of relatives, and
a large number of friends to mourn her loss to whom the voice of Jesus
says. "Your sister is not dead, but sleeping." She has gone on before
us, and we can all feel that we have one more sister there. The
community has lost the presence of one of its principal members, but her
example will still live to inspire others to high and holy actions. A
life so kind and uncompromising with evil, can never die. The survivors
of her family have the full sympathy and prayers of the Christian
community in which they live. They appeared to vie with each other in
showing their true sympathy. We can say from our acquaintance with the
sister that she acted well her part in the drama of life. Her wants
appeared to be expressed by the poet thus. <poem omitted> The funeral
service was conducted at the house of the deceased, led by Elder Hardman
of Glenwood, assisted by the Revs. Dye and Rusk of Sidney, in the
presence of a large audience attending the obsequies. -- [Bellville

Furgeson, James -- Pavonia, July 25 --
James Furgeson, Esq., and David Fickes, two well-known and prominent
citizens of Weller township, died last Tuesday. They were both
buried on Thursday, the former at Franklin Cemetery, the latter at
Shenandoah. 'Squire James Ferguson was a victim of that fell
destroyer -- consumption. He was 43 years of age, a member of the
M.E. church at Franklin. He was also a member of the Grange and
the G.A.R. post here. Being a young man possessed of many good
qualities of both heart and mind, he made himself useful in his day and
generation. His untimely, though long looked for death, will bring
sorrow to many loving friends, and leave an aching void in many a fond
and affectionate heart. Mr. Fickes lived to be nearly four score
years old and was one of the pioneers of Weller township.
