MacDonald, Samuel Percy -- Samuel Percy MacDonald, a venerable resident of Mansfield, died this morning at 9:30 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W.L. Gaston, 100 Marion avenue, in the ninety-third year of his age. For a long time he had been very feeble having sustained several strokes of paralysis. He has failed rapidly within the last month, but even then his death was not anticipated so soon. He passed peacefully away. His was a long and eminently useful life and he was a great worker in the Episcopal church of which he had been a life-long member. Mr. MacDonald was born at Cheshire, Conn., June 4, 1809. His father was the Rev. Dr. Daniel MacDonald, the first president of Hobart college at Geneva, N.Y. and a prominent minister of the Episcopal church. He was a member of the first class that graduated from Hobart college and for the past fifteen years has been its oldest living graduate. He was married Nov. 1, 1836 at Auburn, N.Y. to Miss Laura Gardner Bunker, who, at the age of 87 years survives him. He taught in college for awhile. A couple of year after his marriage he and his wife came to Ohio and settled at Huron. Later they lived at Monroeville and in 1886 they celebrated their golden wedding. It is not given to many couples to spend sixty-five years of married life together. For more than eight years they have made their home with Mr. & Mrs. Gaston. He has two brothers, William T. MacDonald of Bucyrus and Edward MacDonald of Norwalk. One daughter, Mrs. W.L. Gaston, of this city; two sons, Charles MacDonald of this city; and F.C.

Mack, Sophronia -- DIED -- On Tuesday, Feb. 16th., 1869, Mrs. Sophronia Mack, wife of Dr. John Mack in the 43d. year of her age. We must fail in writing an appropriate obituary notice of the deceased. Ever since we have been a permanent resident of Shelby, she was our next door neighbor. In all these years, amidst our joys, and our sorrows, our happiness and afflictions -- she was with us to rejoice, and to sympathize. To speak at length of the past, and to exhibit to the world, what is best known in the privacy of home, would appear to those who know not all that had endeared her to us, as something akin to flattery, and upon such an occasion would be unbecoming indeed. We may however be permitted to say, what all so well known, that she was the guardian angel of the sick and afflicted in many a household, and that her life was one of uninterrupted usefulness in all things that makes woman "God's best gift to man". While the church and the community, and the immediate circle of friends have sustained an irreparable loss, her family, and those who have spent so many years near her, know only how great their loss has been. Here we must cease to write, and bow with humble submission to the will of "Him who doeth all things well." Our only comfort is the assurance that our loss has been her eternal gain. -- [SHELBY INDEPENDENT NEWS: 25 February 1869, Vol. 1, No. 16]

Mansfield, Gilead -- Lexington. The venerable Dr. G. Mansfield's death Sunday night caused the most sombre gloom to pervade the village. He had been ill but a few days of erysipelas and his death was not expected. Dr. Mansfield was a prominent citizen. His father, Mansir Mansfield, was a native of Massachusetts and at an early era he located in Trumbull County and there he married Ellicor Dally. The young twin, in 1814, located four miles south of Lexington at Langham's mill and in 1816, they moved into a cabin in the deep fastness of the forest, two miles east of Lexington and in that rude, primitive abode, Gilead Mansfield first saw the light Dec. 2, 1823, and Dr. Teagarden, famous in the annals of Richland County, was the accoucheur on the occasion of his birth. Dr. Mansfield once informed the writer that when his parents located where he was born, the smoke of but two cabins could be seen through the dense foliage of the giant progeny of the forest on the site of Lexington. The cabins were those of Noah Cook, grandfather of Mrs. S.N. Ford, of Mansfield, and of Amariah Watson, grandfather of Mrs. Emily Sowers, of Lexington. There was a camp of Indians a half mile from his parent's cabin at the mill, but they had not the natural savage instincts of the race to reek their hands in the blood of the invaders of their realm and his mother long used a butter ladle that was fashioned by the deft hands of an untutored son of the forest. Gilead Mansfield did not find delving the soil and felling the progeny of the forest congenial to him and at the age of 21 he took a trip to Detroit. He began the study of medicine with his brother at Mt. Blanchard in 1847, and there he married Miss Lafferty in 1850 and they have lived in Lexington since 1852. Their hearts and souls were truly blended in one and a bright halo of love and joy ever seemed to illuminate their home, which has been the scene of many pleasant social functions at which Dr. Mansfield displayed great tact in entertaining. Their only child, Frank Mansfield, died 15 years ago and shadows of gloom fell deep on Mrs. Mansfield's heart when her husband's slender thread of life was severed. At his death Dr. Mansfield owned the farm on which he was born. Dr. Mansfield was also a skilled ambrotype artist. He had gone deep into the streams of learning and was the last of a famous coterie here whose discussions of the occult in nature and all in the domain of the sciences had been a great diversion to the citizens and gave the town prestige as an intellectual center. Dr. Mansfield's education was limited to that obtained in the schools of the pioneer era. He attended school for awhile that Samuel McClure, most prominent in the annals of Troy Township, taught at his home two miles northwest of Lexington and H.P. Davis, Esq., of Mansfield, was then also a scholar of Mr. McClure's. Dr. Mansfield cherished fondly the righteous creed of the Republican party. He was a loyal friend, a most exemplary citizen and honored and unsullied was his name. His mind was rich in historic facts and legendary lore of the early days in this region and many were wont to listen with rapt attention to his relation of the thrilling events of the long dead past. Very few of Dr. Mansfield's co-pioneers yet linger on the shores of time and soon the last will have joined the myriad dead. Funeral at 5 o'clock, Tuesday evening.

Markley, Harmon/Herman -- A telegram was received here Monday from the Lancaster reform farm announcing the death of Harmon Markley, who was sent to the institution several years ago from Mansfield. Markley was a victim of typhoid fever. It is not yet known whether the deceased will be buried at Lancaster or brought here for interment. [Semi-Weekly News: 05 October 1897, Vol. 13, No. 80]
Markley, Harmon/Herman -- The death of Herman Markley, a Mansfield boy, at the Lancaster Boys' Industrial school, has heretofore been chronicled. It now appears, from the following Lancaster special, that an epidemic of typhoid fever prevails in that institution, caused by impure water supply. Lancaster, O., Oct. 5 -- The first epidemic of aggravated form of disease ever suffered at the boys' industrial school has prevailed there for several weeks past, culminating Monday morning in the death of Herman Markley, a boy from Mansfield. Authorities are not decided as to the variety of fever which has afflicted some 40 of the officers and boys, though Markley's symptoms were strongly those of typhoid fever. Dr. C.A. Upham, of Columbus, was at the institution Monday night, holding an autopsy on the body of Markley, under the direction of Dr. Probst, of the state board of health. Dr. Probst himself has visited the institution and made analysis, both of the waters in use there and of the blood of fever-stricken patients for the purpose of arguing from effect to cause. The drinking water is furnished by a well, drilled several hundred feet into the rock immediately at the school while that for all other purposes is pumped from several wells, a mile away and which are probably fed by a small stream flowing by. Dr. Probst was not able to find anything deleterious in the water but one of the institution sewers discharges into this stream two miles or more above the wells, which are likely poisoned thereby. While the fever has been tenacious, excepting Markley's, it has not been alarming. Several of the officers and inmates are quite ill at present. Later -- The autopsy conducted by Dr. Upham, of Columbus, last night, to investigate the cause of the Markley boy's death, determined the trouble to be typhoid fever and of course places the blame upon the water. Dr. Upham telephoned a verbal report to Dr. Probst this morning, who ordered the institution under strict sanitary regulations at once. Governor Bushnell was also communicated with who suggested to Stewart Hilies, the propriety of anticipating the action of the state emergency board by calling in the services of some good engineer to devise plans for the immediate correction of the faults of hte present water system at the school.

Marks, Harry -- Harry Marks, a colored bootblack between 55 and 60 years of age, died Saturday night at 10 o'clock in a rear room in the third story of the Laver building on Main Street. The cause of his death is supposed to have been due to taking some kind of poison by mistake, thinking that it was liquor. Marks has been a familiar figure on the streets and has frequently been employed at doing odd jobs around the saloons. He also did whitewashing and other work of that kind. he was on the streets Saturday morning and did some work at the Office saloon. He went away and Saturday afternoon he was in several saloons and complained of violent pains in his bowels. It was between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon when he was at the Office saloon again. He seemed to be in considerable pain. He was asked what he had been drinking and he replied that he had been drinking gin. The supposition is that he had picked up some cleaning preparation, or carbolic acid, while he was at work somewhere and that, supposing it was gin, drank it. He went to his room, where he was found later by Township Trustee G.W. Zellner having been informed of the illness of the main. Medical attention was given to Marks, both by Dr. Mecklem and by Dr. Grubaugh, who was summoned later in the evening.

He was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church during the administration of the Rev. A.S. Moffet, but after a time he became lukewarm, lost to some extent his spiritual power, but was reclaimed and brought into communion with his Lord under the ministrations of Rev. Tompkins, from which time he has been faithful though shut out from the light by blindness, yet he walked in the light of the Lord, and joyous in the God of his salvation. He often spoke of approaching dissolution with a full assurance of faith. On Friday he was speaking of dying and his daughter asked him if he was prepared to go. He answered, "yes, I am ready". He was loyal to his country and his God, for he was one of five brothers who went to the front at call of his country to help put down a most wicked rebellion, and at the end of the war, he was honorably discharged. Now, after he has fought the good fight of faith, the captain of his salvation gives him an honorable discharge and says "Come up higher, thou weary one, and rest." Now dear friends, I trust you will rest in God's promises until you one, by one, are reunited and make an unbroken family in heaven. [Mansfield Herald: 04 December 1890, Vol. 41, No. 3]

It was found that when the pile of lumber struck him, Marshman was thrown forward against another pile. He struck on his face, which was crushed in, and on the pit of his stomach, which knocked the breath out of him. He also suffered a number of minor contusions. The coroner is looking into the matter and will probably render his finding within a day or two. The deceased was of medium height, rather slim, smooth faced, and his right foot was clubbed. After the fatality it was discovered that Marshman had an uncle living at Galion and he was telephoned to. The uncle said that the parents of the dead man lived at Bloominggrove and that he would telephone them. The relatives are expected in the city today and are pending their arrival the body is being held at Beelman's undertaking parlors. Mr. Marshman was married two weeks ago last Sunday to Miss Olive Ross, of near Lexington. He and his wife had been boarding at the home of Winfield Trine, 248 Wayne Street. His father is Wilson Marshman, who lives near Bloominggrove. The young man was 22 years of age. -- [Butler Enterprise: 15 September 1905, Vol. 17, No. 32 as re-printed from the Tuesday edition of the Mansfield Shield]

Martell, James "Jack Ryan" -- James Martell, better known among the wanderers of the roads as "Jack Ryan", was burned to death in a railroad shanty along the B.&O. north of Mansfield Saturday night. Martell and four other "bos" were having a booze party in the shanty when it caught fire and the four who escaped were too intoxicated to rescue their more helpless comrade. A glamour of romance enshrouds the death of James Martell. He did not have to beg food and work from one end of the country to the other, as his parents are living and they own one of the largest dry goods stores in Marion, Ohio. For fifteen years Martell had not been at his own home and it is doubtful if his relatives knew where he was until news of his death came. Martell was infected with the wanderlust early in life and for years he has wandered the roads, known as "Jack Ryan" among the itinerant bands with which he has cast his lot. -- [Plymouth Advertiser: 04 April 1914, Vol. 61, No. 20]

Martin, Martha "Mattie" (Pittinger) -- Martha Pittinger Martin was born Feb. 19, 1842 in Weller Township, this county, and died in Mansfield, on April 30th., 1878, being thirty-six years old at the time of her death. Several years ago she became the subject of the renewing grace of Jesus Christ, and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she continued a faithful member until she was removed to the church triumphant in Heaven. Eleven years ago her mother died. From that time onward until her marriage the care of her father's family largely rested upon her. In all these duties as also in the care of a deceased sister's children, Martha was a mother in the home, always faithful, patient and untiring. No one is deserving of more honor than one who, standing in the place of a mother, bears the burdens, and performs the duties which belong to that position with fidelity and patience. This honor belonged to Martha Pittenger. Four years ago she was united in marriage with Mr. T.B. Martin who now deeply mourns her loss. She has been a true and faithful wife and mother, as she had been a noble daughter and sister. Her sickness was protracted and painful, but during it all she maintained unshaken confidence in her Saviour and during a good part of it anxiously waited his coming to call her home. Her mortal remains rest in a most beautiful country graveyard near the little town of Windsor in this county, but she Martha Pittinger Martin is present with the Lord. -- F.M. Searles.

Marvin Stephen -- One by one the pioneers who braved the hardships and dangers of western life half a century ago, are being gathered to their rest. Mr. Stephen Marvin, one of the first settlers of Richland County, Ohio, died at his residence in Shelby at 2 o'clock on Monday morning, August 10th., aged seventy-one years and nearly seven months. Although by nature possessed of an iron constitution, within the past few years the infirmities incident to advanced age and a long life of unremitting labor, known only to those who shared the toils and privations of the pioneers, have had their effect upon him, and it became evident to himself and his friends that his work was nearly done. He battled with disease, however, to the last, and only yielded when exhausted nature could no longer sustain the unequal conflict. About two weeks ago he was compelled to relinquish his daily avocation, but was only confined to his bed for six days previous to his death. The ablest medical counsel was employed and everything in human power done for his relief, but the usual remedies seemed to have no effect upon him. He continued to grow worse, and on Thursday his family realized the unwelcome truth that the seal of death had been set upon him. His disease was acute inflammation of the stomach and bowels, and his sufferings during the last few days were intense. He retained his consciousness to within an hour of his death, his mind remaining clear and vigorous almost to the last. Although his agony at times seemed beyond endurance he uttered not a word of murmuring or complaint, only waiting patiently for the final stroke of the sickle of the Great Reaper, which should release him from his sufferings. The funeral was held yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, and was attended by a very large concourse of sympathizing friends and acquaintances. Mr. Marvin was very widely known throughout Richland and adjoining counties, having lived in Shelby fifty years. Of his ten children living, all were present except one son, living in New York, the telegram to whom was delayed so that he did not arrive until an hour after the burial. An eloquent discourse was delivered by Rev. George R. Brown, of Clyde. The remain were interred in the family burying ground, two miles east of the village. Mr. Marvin was born January 16, 1797 in Fairfield County, Connecticut. He was married April 5, 1818, at the age of 21, and two weeks after, started with his bride and his earthly all, in a wagon, for a home in the West. They crossed the Allegheny mountains and after a tedious, toilsome journey of six weeks, reached their destination in June 1818. The last six miles they were obliged to cut their way through a dense forest hitherto untouched by the woodman's axe. The brave-hearted couple patiently endured all the privations of frontier life and lived to reap the reward of their labors. A thriving town has grown up around them with two railroads running by their very door. On the 5th. of April last, the aged pair celebrated their golden wedding -- the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. It was an occasion of rare pleasure and interest to the family. Thirteen children in all have been born to them, of whom ten are living, with twenty-five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. These were all present with a very few exceptions, and the memory of the happy reunion will be thrice tenderly cherished now that death has taken away the honored head of the family. One of the grandchildren, a young lady, has also died since that occasion. The private life of Mr. Marvin was without a shadow of reproach. As a husband and father he was ever kind and affectionate, his transactions with his fellow-men were characterized by the most strict, unswerving adherence to truth, honesty and integrity; and as a citizen he was public-spirited and patriotic. He gave no less than six of his sons and grandsons to the service of his country during the war. One of the latter fell at Stone River and another died of disease, while of the former two were severely wounded -- one of them in four or five different engagements. The deceased was universally esteemed and his death will be mourned by the entire community of which he was so long a prominent member. The sympathies of all will be with the aged widow and the family in their sore affliction. [Shelby Chronicle: 20 August 1868, Vol. 2, No. 22 as reprinted from the Cleveland (OH) News, 12 August 1868]
Marvin, Zana -- Zana, the eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Bert Marvin, died at the family home last week, Thursday evening, at 10 o'clock, her death being due to diabetes.

She is survived by her parents, three brothers and one sister, all of whom have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, interment being made in Greenlawn Cemetery, the casket and grave being covered and lined with a profusion of flowers, gifts from loving friends. -- [Plymouth Advertiser: 04 September 1915, Vol. 62, No. 41]

Philip Marzetti came to the United States in 1874 and took up his residence in Mansfield in 1878. Since that time he has been a resident of Mansfield with the exception of a short time spent in Lima. The deceased was one of the most whole-souled men of his nationality and readily made friends with every one with whom he came in contact. During his residence in Mansfield Philip Marzetti made money, being the proprietor of a fruit stand. He invested his money in farm property and other real estate and was quite well situated. A wife and five children are left to mourn the loss of a husband and father. The funeral took place from St. Peter's Catholic Church Sunday at 1:30 p.m. -- [Semi-Weekly News (Mansfield): 19 April 1898, Vol. 14, No. 31]

Mason, Milton P. -- Dr. Milton P. Mason, a well-known citizen and business man of Mansfield for many years, was found dead in his bed this morning about 5:30 at his home, 19 West Second street. For more than two years Dr. Mason has been ill with rheumatism, at times being in a very critical condition and at others well enough to walk out. He was no worse than usual when he retired Thursday night and at midnight he was sleeping peacefully. His death is supposed to have occurred sometime during the early hours of the morning but it must have been very peaceful for the wife did not discover that he was dead until she tried to wake him this morning. She found him cold in death. The attending physician who was called pronounced death due to rheumatism of the heart. Dr. Mason was born in Ashland county seventy-two years ago and there spent the earlier years of his life. After graduating from medical college at Cleveland he came to Mansfield and was united in marriage April 13, 1854, with Miss Harriet Hedges, sister of Henry C. Hedges and Joseph Hedges of Park avenue west, and of Mrs. Naomi Todd of Lexington avenue. For many ears he was in the drug business at the corner of North Main and Sixth streets and sold out a couple of years ago to F.A. Wheeler. He was a member of the M.E. church and of Mansfield lodge No. 19, I.O.O.F., being a past grand in the latter. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Mrs. E.S. Nail of West Second street and Mrs. George B. Weatherby of Detroit. One brother, Luther Mason, lives at Bryan. Funeral Sunday at 2:00, private. [Mansfield News: 27 December 1901, Vol. 17, No. 253]

Massa, Mrs. Edward -- The sound of five revolver shots fired in such rapid succession at 5:30 o'clock Tuesday evening, that they seemed like a continuous report, was the abrupt and startling announcement of a murder and suicide at the home of Edward Massa, foreman of the shipping department of the Ohio Brass works, who resides at 155 South Adams Street, when Mrs. Massa, an attractive young woman, 27 years of age, met death at the hands of Lorenzo D.

For years Mrs. Mathers health has been poor, although she was ever hopeful and looked forward to the time when she might again, in good health, take up the full duties of active life. In spite of all her desires the ever attentive efforts of a devoted husband, she gradually grew weaker until it became evident to all that the end was near. On Friday, May 11th., she was taken much worse than she had been, and from that time she failed rapidly until Thursday evening she passed away as peacefully as the then parting day withdrew from sight. She was married to S.G. Mathers, August 8th., 1875, she was a true and devoted wife, doing all she could to make her home happy and cheerful. She was a member of the M.E. church for nearly 15 years, all of which time she was true to the church and attended faithfully to all Christian duties as far as her health would permit. About 5 years ago she moved to Newark and there with her husband entered into the active work of the church. She taught in the Sunday School and was an active member of the W.F.M.S.

The departed was an invalid during most of the last three years, though not confined to her couch until about two weeks before the close of life.

She knew the end must come, and only wished life could be prolonged to comfort her aged mother and maternal aunt, toward whom her affections were fervent on to the last of earth's so-journ.

Matson, L.B. -- bur. 8/23/1876 at Mansfield Cem.; 45y; res. Mansfield [Richland Shield & Banner: 13 January 1876]
Matson, L.B.-- Mansfield. L.B. Matson, Esq., died on Wednesday of last week, after we had gone to press, and was buried on Thursday. Mr. Matson had become one of the leading attorneys at the Mansfield bar -- very forcible as a jury lawyer, and at the very zenith of a successful practice. Long association with him in our consultations and often i practice, both as assistant and opponent, we are pleased to acknowledge a warm affection for him, induced by his uniform courtesy, honorable and liberal dealing with us in every particular. With us he had never in a single instance been guilty of the slightest deviation from high toned, honorable practice, jewels in the crown of every attorney.

Matson, L.B. -- We are pained to announce the decease of one of our best and most prominent citizens, L.B. Matson, Esq., on Wednesday morning at ten minutes past nine. Mr. Matson went East to the Centennial and the Sea shore some two months ago, for his health, taking his wife with him; but his health not improving, his wife deemed it prudent to return home, as he was evidently growing weaker. Upon reaching home, he was confined to bed and although he had the best medical attention here and from abroad he continued to grow worse, until relieved of intense suffering by death -- his disease being inflammation of the prostate glands. Mr. Matson was one of our most liberal citizens in all public enterprises, a Lawyer of acknowledged ability, and usually chosen on one or the other side of the most intricate law cases. He was but forty-five years of age, and had already built up a large and lucrative practice. In all the relations of life he was kind and sympathetic as well to those not holding the same political views, as to those of his own party. At the last Republican District Convention he was chosen Presidential Elector of the 14th. District, and has held other important political positions. We most sincerely sympathize with his heart-stricken wife and family in this sad bereavement. [Richland Shield & Banner: 26 August 1876]

Matson, Uriah -- Mr. Uriah Matson, residing five miles south of Shelby, died on Tuesday morning last, aged about 80 years. [Shelby Independent News: 16 January 1873, Vol. 5, No. 12]
Matson, Uriah -- Mr. Uriah Matson departed this life on the 14th. of January, 1873, of congestion of the stomach with other structural changes incident to old age. He died in the 80th. year of his age. It is not without pain that we are called upon to record the death of another of the old pioneers of our county. Mr. Matson was sorely afflicted a year or two ago but so regained his health as to be able to do some work on the farm. Yet never was well, and as age crept slowly on, he became more languid and gave up sooner in his undertakings. He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in the year 1793. Emigrated to this State in 1815, locating about 5 miles south-east of Shelby, and 2 miles north-west of Spring Mills, in Jackson Township. Here he erected his log cabin, where he in his forest home found a happy shelter from the stormy elements and surrounding wild beasts. His nearest neighbor was Mr. Richard Condon then living on the farm now occupied by Mr. J.W. Niman about one mile and a half south. At this early age, the country was wild and unimproved, presenting many hardships and privations to be endured, before the dense forest was cleared off, the land in a condition to cultivate, and the country settled. Being naturally robust with unbounded energy and perseverance, he struggled and toiled, clearing up, not only his own farm but others. As a tribute of respect awarded the man who had cleared he most land in Richland County, he drew the premium Ax in 1858. Intellectually, he was far above the average of men in his day, being conversant with ancient as well as modern history, keeping pace with the best politicians and general news. Naturally fond of reading and having a retentive memory, he could bring to bear statistics from many authors, making such quotations as was essential in argument with the best men on any subject. He read any and everything in the English language within his reach. As his constitutional vigor gave way, he would read almost incessantly, and when called upon by his neighbors, he would engage in the most earnest and intelligent conversation, often protracting his fire-side talks to a very late hour of night, thus securing a most exalted social position among all his friends. In his religious character, he considered divine truth with care, and cultivated that genuine charity, which respects true piety wherever found. In belief he inclined toward the doctrine of "Church of the New Jerusalem" and thus believed in God and the immortality of the soul. As the time of his departure drew near, and prior to that time, he was heard to have said, "My day's work is done" and during his last illness called on God for release. As he entered the valley of the shadow of death, he became pale and faint, muscular power depressed, extremities cold, and when his hands grew palsied, his eyes dim; all that which should accompany old age, as honor, love and many friends were his. Funeral services were held at the old family home, and the burial service read at the grave. As a mark of respect in which his memory was held, the funeral was attended (notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather) by a large concourse of people, as well as many relatives and friends. The aged and well tried father and veteran in the service of life, has entered within the confines of the unexplored regions of eternity. Peaceful be thy rest aged pilgrim! Mourning friends, invalid daughter, be comforted in the sure hope of a blissful immortality beyond the tomb. "Let not your hearts be troubled". When the Good Master calls be joyfully prepared to enter within the gates of the beautiful City of the New Jerusalem in glory. -- N.H.L. [Shelby Independent News: 23 January 1873, Vol. 5, No. 13]

Matthes, Adam Sr. -- Adam Matthes, Sr., died at his home No. 32 East Fourth Street, at 2:20 o'clock this morning without a struggle. He had been ailing more or less for several weeks and he had been unconscious since Sunday morning at 2 o'clock. Sunday night Adam Matthes, Jr., was summoned from Akron in anticipation of his father's death. The rest of the family reside in this city.

He was born at Nieder-Modau, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, Jan. 9, 1832, and would, therefore, have reached his fifty-ninth birthday Thursday. He came to America in 1851 and settled in Mansfield, where he worked at his trade, as a stone mason and contractor, until he went into the hotel business in the house now known as the Grand Central, where he remained until last fall, when the property was sold to pay the debts which he could not liquidate. He had all the misfortune that could fall to the lot of any man and his financial troubles, no doubt, hastened his death. Since the hotel was closed, he has resided at 32 East Fourth Street.

May, Manuel -- Judge Manual May died about 3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon. The death of the eminent jurist was not unexpected, as he has suffered no less than three strokes of paralysis and has been critically ill for a week or ten days. Mr. May was born in the building on the south side of Central park Aug. 4, 1826, where he died, and has been a familiar figure of Mansfield for many years. He attended Kenyon College, of which he is a graduate. After reading law under the direction of his father, J.M. May, he attended the Cincinnati law school and completed the regular course. Judge May began to practice law in Mansfield with his father under the firm name of J.M. and M. May and his subsequent law partners were Thomas McBride, John K. Cowan, later president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company, and S.L. Geddes. A number of successful lawyers and prominent ones of today read law under his guidance. In his fraternal relations Judge May was a thirty-second degree Mason, being allied with the Cincinnati Consistory. He has been the presiding officer of the Mansfield Commandery, No. 21, Knights Templar, and was also identified with the two branches of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in this city. He was a member of the Episcopal church. During his middle life he was actively engaged in politics, being a Democrat. For a number of years Judge May was a county school examiner for Richland County and was otherwise identified with educational interests. Judge May was nominated on the Democratic ticket and elected prosecuting attorney, serving from 1858 until 1862 and for four years he represented the old Fourth Ward in the city council, acting as the president of that body a part of the time. In 1866 Judge May was sent to the Ohio State Senate from the district comprised of Richland and Ashland counties, and he was re-elected for a second term, continuing in office until the year 1870. During his second term Senator May was a member of the judiciary committee and was identified with important state measures during that time. In the year 1882 Mr. May was elected a judge of the court of common pleas for the second sub-division of the Sixth Judicial district of Ohio, composed of the counties of Ashland, Morrow and Richland. Judge May was re-elected to the common pleas bench and served in that capacity until 1892. Since leaving the common pleas bench Judge May resumed the practice of law. The deceased, though a bachelor, was a great lover of amusement and has been identified with several social and dancing clubs in his day. Judge May, while not a charter member, has long been identified with Mansfield lodge No. 56, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. At the time of his death he held an honorary life membership in Mansfield Lodge, No. 56. -- [Bellville Messenger: 25 June 1903, Vol. 11, No. 25 as reprinted from the Mansfield News] All efforts to find a will left by the late Judge Manuel May have so far been without avail. It was generally believed that the judge left a will, but if there was one it has either disappeared or has not yet turned up. It is currently reported that a number of years ago Judge May made a will and appointed a well known local attorney executor of the same. It is generally believed however, that this will was destroyed by him and another made. A search having failed to develop a will, George B. Drennan, of Plymouth, and W.J. Geer, of Galion, have made application in probate court asking for the appointment of an administrator of the estate of the deceased. The following is a list of relatives and heirs given in making the application: First Cousins: Mrs. A.D. McDonough, of Plymouth, Catherine D. Cooke, of Lawrenceville, N.J., and Manuel J. Drennan, of Evanston, IL; Second Cousins: John Wolfe, of Shelby, Charles Wolfe, of Shelby, Kate C. Wilkinson, of Mansfield, Phoebe A. Coleman, of Lexington, Abner W. Coleman, of Olympia, Wash., Augusta Hinckley, of Cincinnati, Joseph Wolfe, of Cincinnati, Columbia Wolfe, of Cincinnati, Edith K. Geer, of Galion, George B. Drennan, of Plymouth. It was generally believed that Judge May was quite well fixed financially, but it is now reported that his estate is practically insolvent. That the property on South Park Street where he resided all his life and the land in the south end of the city is covered with mortgages for practically all it is worth. Many people cannot believe that the estate is insolvent and there are rumors to the effect that he had considerable money hoarded. If such is the case it has not been brought to light. -- [Bellville Messenger: 02 July 1903, Vol. 11, No. 26 as reprinted from the Mansfield News]
