Edgar
D. Claybaugh died at his home in Toulon, Friday, Feb. 4, 1887, aged 34
years. He was born near Vermont,
Schuyler county, Illinois, January 21, 1853.
When he was 9 years old the family removed to Putnam county, near
Hennepin. He was converted in 1870, and
united with the M.E. church, 8 miles from Hennepin. In 1871 he removed with the family to LaFayette. The following year he was baptized and
united with the Baptist church at Galva.
December 9, 1875, he was married to Miss L. A. Kinkade, and removed to
Kewanee, taking a letter of dismission from the Galva church. He remained in Kewanee, however, only a
short time, and settling near Saxon united with the Baptist church there. Last fall he removed to Toulon and was
received, with his wife, as a member of this church.
He
always enjoyed good health until November, 1884, when he was taken with malarial
fever. He partially recovered for a few
weeks, but was soon taken down again, and remained so until July, 188_ *, when
he went to Eurka [sic--Eureka] Springs, Arkansas. That seemed to help him, but he had not
means to stay a long time. He returned
in the fall and was soon down again and has since been treated by various
physicians without relief. His
suffering was constant and intense.
The
funeral services were held at the Baptist church on Sunday afternoon, where a
large concourse of citizens gathered to show respect to the dead and sympathy
for the living.

Feisley, Robert Feisley
Published in the Spirit of
Democracy,
On last Tuesday evening, a
trajedy of a serious nature occurred in SwitzerlandTownship, this County, which
resulted in ending the life of Robert Fiesley, a young married man, and
resident of that Township. The particulars
as know are as follows:
At about 5 o'clock in the
evening Feisley left home and taking a gun with him, disappeared into the woods
which were only a short distance from the house. Nor returning in a reasonable time, and becoming alarmed at his
prolonged absence, a search was instituted and he was found with a bullet in
his brain. The ball had entered the
forehead, and with such force as to scatter his brains for some distance and in
a most sickening manner to see. We
failed to learn where Mr. Feisley was originally from, but at any rate he moved
into that neighborhood about a year ago and was in the employ of a widow lady
named Smaltz. According to his own
representations he was, at that time, unmarried, and only a short time since
became the husband of Mrs. Smaltz. It
was then rumored that he was sailing under false colors, and had a wife and
family living in the West. Whether
there is any truth in this report is still unknown, as he was generally silent
on the history of his past, and dropped no remarks that would even form the
basis of a conjecture of the truth.
Onthe Sunday preceding the fatal Tuesday he went to Clarington in the
company of a German minister, and while there attended the funeral of a
friend. He evidently heard news of a
discouraging nature, for after returning home he seemed much depressed in
spirits, and no doubt concluded to seek oblivion in self-destruction. The coroners inquest may have brought
important facts to light, but we are not yet advised as to the results of the
investigation. It is to be hoped that his
death was accidental and not intentional.
The remains were interred at the cemetery of the

Purchased of a druggist of that place among other things, some morphine,
saying he was troubled with Rheumatism and desired to use it externally for
that trouble.
On the next morning Wm Farley
who teaches school about two miles north-west of Summerfield on a small stream
known as Glady, approached the school-house, and, within a short distance of
the building was surprised to hear groans issuing therefrom. On opening the door and entering the room he
saw the form of a man lying on the floor and supposing him to be some tramp who
had selected that as a place to sleep, proceeded to attend to his usual morning

The prostate form however, paid no heed to the noise, and after waiting
a reasonable length of time, the teacher approached, but was horrified to learn
that shaking and addressing him failed to elicit any response. He then sent to a farm house and summoned

bring a return to consciousness and at twelve o'clock the cessation of the

years, 5 months and 14 years.
She gave herself to the
Savior while in the bloom of youth, and exemplified her profession by a

were great, are ended now. She died in

All is well. It is all right
now. I shall see you all again."

It is with feelings of the
deepest sorrow that I record the death of Samuel M Moore. The deceased who was born near
Sammy, as he was called, was
a young man of promise, ambition, and of an ardent and impetuous
temperament. he was persevering and
firm of purpose. He was charitable,
honorable and patient, bearing his afflictions without a murmur or complaint.
The deceased leaves an only
brother and three sisters, and a large circle of friends to mourn his premature
death. His father and mother crossed
the chilly river of death years ago.
His remains were followed to
the cemetery at Woodsfield, by relatives and friends, and they committed earth

divine revelation which teaches us that there is life and hope beyond the

She died of that much to be
dreaded fell destroyer, consumption.
Mother Pearson was married November 20, 1844 to her surviving husband
William L Pearson, with whom she moved to Beallsville January 3, 1855, where
she continued to reside until her death.
Her remains were interred in the M E graveyard in Beallsville. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W
Darby, assisted by Rev. John Jeffers.
Mother Pearson leaves nine
children, four sons and five daughter, all of whom are grown to man and
womanhood, most of whom are engaged in battle of life for themselves; and,
together with the husband and companion of her youth, mourn the irreparable
loss which the ruthless hand of death made in their home circle. Mother Pearson was the oldest child of a
family of twelve children, nine of whom have preceded her to the bourne from
which no traveler e'er returns. She was
happily converted to God and united with the M E Church 35 years prior to her
death. Her influence over her children
seemed to be unlimited , while the regard which her children had for her was
illimitable(?). Her devotion to God as
well as to her husband and children was truly unbounded, she being one of the
most unselfish and self- sacrificing Christian women we have ever known. She died as she had lived, forceful,
emphatic, definite and wholly trusting in Christ; with clearest consciousness
of present and full salvation and with profound confidence in Christ as her
Savior, this good woman awaited the summons which called her to the presence of
her glorified Lord. The poet has well
said;
"Jesus, thy blood and
righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious
dress."
Her religion shone out in her
every daylife, but with particular luster in the hours of trouble and
disappointment, while health permitted she was always found at her place in the
house of public worship, a noble example to the survivors of her family. She died as she had lived, with heaven in
full view. May each of her children,
together with her aged husband, be so unspeakably happy, as to meet wife and
mother in that heavenly home to which she has already gone. A Friend.

No news spreads so rapidly as
news of a sinister nature. The town is
so excited over the grave affair which occurred at Horne's Gallery on Saturday
afternoon last, between one of our most prominent citizens, M. W. Horn, the
photographer, and Mr. Hy Price, somewhat known around town. Mr Horn skipped out for Coshocton county,
and the affair is now in everybodys mouth.
It has been a matter of general knowledge and discussion for some time
past that Mr. Horn has borne feelings of the gravest animosity toward Mr.
Price, and it has been predicted that the feeling would lead to serious
results. Mr. Hy Price has, for a long
time, been an annoying loafer in many of our places of business and on Saturday
afternoon he sauntered into Horn's place of business. A short but sanquinary contest ensued and we are pleased to
report Mr. Horn the victor. Every one
familiar with the facts fully justifies his conduct in first stabbing Hy Price
in the neck and afterward ripping him up the back. Hy Price is dead. Mr.
Horn, his slayer, will receive the congratulations of his friends in Woodsfield

Died - George Lloyd Smith
Aged nine years
It is with deepest regrets,
and with a sorrow felt alike by the entire community, that we chronicle the
death of Georgie, little son of William Smith, Jr. of this place. Death is always sad and the wisdom of it
hard to understand; and especially at
the crushing out of so young and innocent a life. It is no surprise when the aged and middle-aged pass away; or
when nature becomes exhausted by the rigors of the sick bed, and the youthful
spirit returns to its Maker, but when called away withour a moments warning, it
is especially hard to bear. But
consolation whispers that after all, "God in his infinite wisdom and mercy
knows best." Georgie had gone
after the cows, and the horse he was riding, in a playful mood, made a sudden
spring throwing him high in the air, and he fell, striking his head with such
force that the skull was fractured.
All that the loving attention
of parents and friends could suggest, as well as the skillful services of the
family physician, was done but to no avail, and in a short time after
compression of the brain set in, the sad intelligence was made known, that
Georgie was dead. The funeral services
took place at the family residence on
Kind friends furnished
beautiful floral decorations from whose purity could be drawn a fitting
comparison with the young and silent form beneath them, and which suggested
beautiful lessons full of comfort and hope to the stricken parents and friends,
who have the heartfelt sympathy of all in this sore bereavement.

forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
