come in all in fun. Stonerod shifted the gun, jerking it toward Gauding and as

Collection of Beryl Christman Claus
Despondency, brought on by continued ill health, is held
responsible for the death by suicide of Louise Hettig, aged 24, at her home
about 1 1/2 miles north of Lewisville, Ohio, Tuesday evening, February 21,
1922.
Miss Hettig, according to information from Lewisville, was
unwilling to go to a hospital for treatment. It was said that she gave no
indication of her intention to members of the family excepting a remark made on
Monday, when she asserted that she did not expect to live long. Tuesday evening
she was found on a porch by a brother, breathing her last, her throat cut. A
butcher knife was close by.
Owing to the fact that there is no qualified corner in
Monroe County, Constable John Feiock served, as provided by law, and rendered a
verdict of death by suicide.
It was said that a note was found later, in which the girl
gave instructions as to her burial.
She leaves her father, mother and two brothers and a sister
at home, and a sister living in Cincinnati. The funeral will be held Friday
morning at the Summit Evangelical Church, and will be conducted by the
pastor.
Hossman,
Jesse Carl Hossman
The Monroe County Republican
Issue: Woodsfield, Ohio, August 1922
On Sunday afternoon, August 6, 1922, our community was
shocked and saddened by the death of Jesse Carl Hossman who was born August 21,
1888, in Ohio township, Monroe County, Ohio.
On June 30, 1917, he was united in marriage to Miss
Oneda Christman. To this happy union one son, Elwood C. Hossman was born July
22, 1921. Shortly after their marriage they moved to a farm near Miltonsburg,
Ohio but about a year ago they purchased a farm near Lewisville at which place
they resided at the time of his death.
For several years Mr. Hossman had been suffering from
organic heart trouble and had gone to many doctors but did not seem to get much
relief.
A short time ago he was seriously ill with pneumonia but had
seemingly recovered from that sufficiently to walk about the house, but
conditions arising from the diseased heart could not be overcome until the
Great physician reached out his hand and claimed him for a higher reward.
During his early youth he united with the Evangelical Church
at Miltonsburg by confirmation and remained a faithful member until God called
him to the Church above. For several years before he moved away he served
as superintendent in the Sunday school at that place.
The last few years of his life he was County Grange Deputy
and has done a great deal of organization work among the granges of this
County. He was also leader of the Barnhart Poultry Club and will be sadly
missed by the young people of the club. He has always taken an active interest
in all things pertaining to the welfare of the farming communities. He was a
good citizen and neighbor, a devoted husband and father and although it is hard
to give him up in youth, we know that God has something greater in store for
him and sometime we ll understand his plan.
On Tuesday afternoon at one o clock the funeral services
were conducted at St. John s middle Church by the Reverend Wm. Dallman of
Lewisville, Ohio with undertaker Bauer in attendance before a large assemblage
of friends and relatives. At the grave short and impressive service was
conducted by the Miltonsburg and Barnhart granges.
The deceased leaves to mourn his departure his wife, Mrs.
Oneda Hossman, on son, Elwood Charles Hossman, father, mother, Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Hossman, six brothers, Fred, Charles, Wesley, Raymond, Elmer and
Victor Hossman, two sisters, Miss Freda Hossman and Mrs. Clem Claus all living
near Miltonsburg, and an aged grandmother, Mrs. Magdelene igenthaler of
Round Bottom, Ohio. May God be with them in their hour of
desolation.

OLD PIONEER DIES FROM
APPOPLEXY [sic]
Sometime between Sunday
evening and Tuesday noon, death closed the long career of one of the earliest
pioneers of this community, Fred Kurtzman. The cause of death is thought to
have been appoplexy [sic] but he was alone at the time and his passing was not
discovered until he was missed by the neighbors, Tuesday morning, the exact
time nor manner of passing is unknown. The fact that his watch was still
running and there were no lights turned on in the house, lead to the belief
that death came sometime Monday. He had been last seen on the streets on
Sunday.
Fred Kurtzman was one of the
few pioneers remaining since the territorial days of this state. His first
arrival in these parts was before the building of the bridges over the rivers
even for railroad traffic. His first job was firing one of the transport boats.
Later he moved from Ainsworth
to Pasco and engaged in the general merchandising business with John Toles. During
the same time he served as County Treasurer two terms. Later when Toles died he
conducted the business himself. For a few years he lived in Seattle but soon
returned to Pasco. Shortly after his return here Mrs. Kurtzman died. Since that
time he lived alone. He was engaged in various enterprises here during these
years.
Mr. Kurtzman was interested
in a number of real estate operations, particularly the putting on of the
Addition which bears his name and the Terrace Heights Addition. At the time of
his death he still had large real estate holdings. He was also a stockholder
and director in the Bank of Pasco.
He is survived by one son,
Allan, of Seattle and a sister residing in Seattle. The remains were taken to
Seattle Wednesday evening and were laid to rest Thursday by the side of Mrs.
Kurtzman. No funeral services were conducted here.
Mr. Kurtzman was a well known
figure in business and political circles and will be missed by a large circle
of friends.

Saddest of all the tragedies on Thanksgiving day in Monroe
county was the death of Roy Lisk of Woodsfield, caused by the accidental
discharge of his gun while hunting Thanksgiving afternoon. The facts as near as
we can obtain them from a close friend are as follows:
While out hunting with his brother Lawrence Lisk and Alva
Morris on the Nancy Gilmore farm, three miles east of Calais on the
Malaga-Calais road, Roy Lisk stopped to light his pipe. He was standing on a
big stone with his gun leaning against him. When he struck a match the gun
slipped off the stone, striking the hammer against the stone causing a
discharge which took effect in his abdomen. His companions carried him to the
home of C. A. Howiler, nearby, and a physician was hastily summoned.
The accident occurred about
o clock, he died in spite of
all the physicians and friends could do.
Friday morning his remains were taken to the home of his
parents, Mr. and Mr. Mathias Lisk near Monroefield, where funeral services were
held Saturday at

laid to rest in Oaklawn cemetery.

Sanford P. Maring Has Passed
Away
Prominent Resident of Exline
Vicinity
Passed Away at His Home Early
Sunday Morning
A death which comes as a distinct shock to the residents of
Exline vicinity and to many friends and acquaintances in other parts of the
county, occurred at 2:00 a.m. Sunday when Sanford P. Maring passed away at his
home in Exline, after an illness of five weeks. He was 63 years old.
While suffering ill health for a long period of time, his condition
did not become serious until five weeks ago, after his return from Excelsior
Springs, where he had spent some time in an effort to regain his health. It
developed that he was suffering from a tumor of the brain, and he gradually
weakened until death came.
The death of Mr. Maring comes as a shock to his home
community due to the fact he had been identified with the growth and
development of Exline for many years. Since the organization of the Bradley
Savings Bank at Exline in 1905, he has been its cashier until last year, when
ill health forced him to resign his duties. Much of his time has been spent in
promoting the industrial and financial interest of his home community.
Mr. Maring is a native of the Exline vicinity where he was
born October 23, 1858, a son of Samuel Maring. In early life he followed the
occupation of a farmer and has been interested to an extent since in
agriculture, possessing some farm property.
Deceased was twice married, becoming the husband of Miss
Ella Hollenbeck on October 10, 1880. She preceded him in death, passing away
January 26, 1907. On September 14, 1907, he was married to Miss Kate Kincaid.
He is survived by his second wife and two children, Mrs. T.
C. Cline of Exline and John L. Maring of Exline. He is also survived by one
brother, Silas Maring, who resides in Oregon. A sister, Mrs. William
Hollenbeck, resides at Brewster, Kansas.
Mr. Maring was an active member of the Christian Church and
of the I.O.O.F. Lodge. He was well and favorably known, and his death will

Issue: Woodsfield, Ohio, Thursday, Aug. 3, 1922
It is with sadness we are called upon to note the departure
of our friend and neighbor, James Jacob Neuhardt, son of John Michael and Mary
Catherine Schaub Neuhardt. John Michael died September 11, 1909, in Monroe
County, Ohio and Mary Catherine died in 1890. James Jacob was born August 1,
1857, at the Neuhardt homestead in Summit township, Monroe County, Ohio, and
departed this life July 9, 1922, at the Good Samaritan Hospital, Zanesville,
Ohio. On Sunday, November 12, 1885, he was married to Miss Lucetta Bintz. To
this union were born five children of which two daughters, Clara Lucetta and
Harriett Magdelina gone to the world beyond. Harriett Magdelina Neuhardt died
March 3, 1911.
Just a week before he passed away he seemed to be enjoying
life as usual when suddenly on Sunday afternoon, July 2, he was stricken ill.
His case was placed in the physician and upon his advice it was deemed best to
go to the hospital where he was placed in the hands of the surgeons. Although
his condition was serious they thought it best to try the gallstone operation.
This for a time seemed to be successful, then uremic poising set in which
resulted in his death. Before he started to the hospital, he expressed the
thought that perhaps he might never return but was ready to face death. He was
accompanied by his faithful wife, who at his request never left him until the
end came.
On Sunday afternoon, July 2, the body was brought from
Zanesville to the home to await the funeral services which were held in the
German M. E. Church near Monroefield on Wednesday morning, July 12, and the
remains were laid to rest in the cemetery therein the presence of a large number
of friends and relatives. The services were conducted by the Reverend Theodore
Lagemann of Hopkins, Michigan, a former pastor and friend.
He was a kind husband and devoted father and he will be
sadly missed in the home and in the community in which he has spent his life,
but we can only say Thy will, Lord, and not ours be done.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his beloved wife, Lucetta Bintz
Neuhardt, three children, Franklin Samuel Neuhardt and Arthur Frederick
Neuhardt of near Lewisville and Mrs. Charlotte Amelia Neuhardt Sloan of
Miltonsburg; three grandchildren, two brothers, George E. Neuhardt of Memphis,
Tennessee, and Henry J. Neuhardt of Moundsville, West Virginia; five sisters,
Mary and Elizabeth Neuhardt and Katherine Harrigon of Barnesville, Mrs.
Ernestine Thompson if Shadyside, Amelia Neuhardt of Wheeling, West Virginia,
and Mrs. Mollie Dinzer who spent a portion of her life in the Neuhardt
home. Two
brothers, Philip Neuhardt of Barnesville, Ohio and John Neuhardt of Lukee,
Mississippi have gone before. Besides these there are numerous other relatives
and friends who will sadly miss him from our midst. To all these, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy and may all look to our Heavenly Father for help and
guidance throughout life s pathway.

3 CHILDREN DROWN IN RIVER*
DRAGGING FAILS TO FIND BODIES
Tragedy Occurs Below Liberty
Street Dam When Canoe Hits Submerged Log and Overturns.
ONE LAD SAVED BY RESCUER
Clings Desperately to Branch
of Tree and Yells Frantically for Help -- Call is Answered.
At the bottom of the
Blanchard river today lie the bodies of three children, who, like adventurous
navigators of old, set out on the turbid swollen stream in a canoe Saturday and
drowned when their frail craft struck a submerged log and turned its human
cargo into the swirling waters.
Police and firemen dragged
the river until late Saturday night and all day yesterday but when the shadows
of last night fell, the bodies of Harry Newhart, 13, 630 Allen avenue, Samuel
Meek, 13, 530 Fraser street, and the latter's sister, Floe Meek, 9, were still
missing.
Kenneth Stump, 12, 715
College street, is the only survivor of the ill-fated boat. The lad clung to
the branch of a tree, yelled frantically for help, and was rescued twenty
minutes later by Ralph Slough, an electrician, 101 Shinkle street, who paddled
a rudely constructed craft across a widely flooded area and risked his life to
save the youth.
CAPSIZES IN MID-STREAM.
The canoe carrying the
jubilant party of children out on a lark capsized about 5:40 o'clock Saturday
evening in mid-stream about 150 yards east of the Liberty street dam which
sends the river on a winding course through the old brickyard grounds.
The Blanchard was at
high-tide due to the recent rains and the lowland at the foot of Western avenue
was flooded. The trip in the canoe started above the Riverside park dam, young
Stump told police. The boat was lifted over the two dams. The swift current,
the boy said, sent the boat at a rapid pace after it had been carried over and
launched below the Liberty street dam.
On and on they went. The
craft gained speed as it ploughed smoothly through the whirling pools. Suddenly
the bow lifted. The youths were stunned into momentary silence, and then there
was a splash. The canoe had rammed into and over a log, and its occupants, save
Stump, were sent to a watery grave.
"I didn't see them after
I came up," sobbed Stump as he stood on the bank of the Blanchard
yesterday, and gazed out over the muddy surface at the men in boats dragging
for his three playmates.
Comes Up Under Boat.
When the boat flipped, Meek
and his sister, and Newhart were thrown clear of the craft, while Stump came up
under the over-turned boat. He scrambled from under and the current carried him
downstream nearly 50 feet, he said.
"I grabbed for a limb
but missed," he said as he choked back a sob and furtively flicked away
the tears that filled his eyes. The violent stream whirled and tumbled him
about. He tried to swim, and a few strokes moved him out of the current,
enabling him to clutch the branch of a tree.
Shivering with cold, the lad
held on, sending a piercing scream in the direction of the Slough home. Ralph
Slough went out into the back yard, heard the shout, and observed the boy, his
head above water, far out across the flooded lowland.
Securing a craft, more frail
than the one which carried the children to their death, Slough paddled toward
the drowning boy. As his boat neared the tree, young Stump in a shivering tone,
exclaimed he could not hold on much longer.
Slough, fearing that the boy
would desperately grab the boat and both would go to the bottom, steered the
craft to the tree, crawled out and tied it. Standing well up in the tree the
rescuer reached to the young Stump with a paddle. The boy with a death-like
grip clutched it. He was pulled up and deposited in the boat by Slough.
Boy Landed Safely.
The trip back across the foaming
waters started, and each stroke, true, soon saw the skiff safely landed at the
foot of Western avenue. Words of praise went out to Mr. Slough for his courage
exhibited in braving the high water.
Even in the rescue of young Stump
it was not definitely known that three others had drowned. The lad, cold and
frightened, couldn't talk. He shook from the 20 minutes' exposure in the water,
his shoes and stockings having been removed in the adventurous cruise down the
Blanchard.
The first intimation
[Submitter s Note: This could possibly be INCLINATION.] Mr. Slough was able
to gather was that Stump had fallen out of the boat and his companions had
sailed on down stream. For fully 45 minutes the boy remained silent as to the
other children. Finally he declared that his playmates had been swallowed up in
the raging current.
Police Sergeant John Roth
noticed, and the alarm spread rapidly. A northside fire truck was dispatched to
the scene with rescuers. Captain Francis Gariepy and Officer Howard
Slaughterback departed with three city life boats and grappling hooks.
Dusk came upon the rescuers,
and powerful search lights from the fire apparatus played on the flooded area
as strong men battled the waves and dragged for the bodies.
Crowds gathered on the bank
of the river at the foot of Shinkle street. Nerves tingled with a thrill of
excitement as persons watched the workers under the rays of the search lights
which scanned the flooded territory.
Dragging Is Hazardous.
The work of dragging the
river at night became hazardous, and police and firemen gave up their task at
10:30 o'clock to commence again Easter morning.
Daybreak saw the contingent
of helpers increased and many volunteered their services. Mr. Slough, who had
rescued young Stump, was on the river at 4 o'clock yesterday morning and worked
throughout the day.
The entire night force of
police and seven firemen were detailed to the scene of the tragedy yesterday
morning. Chief J. H. Crawford was in charge of the rescue work. He stated that
it would be difficult to locate the bodies until the water receded as the
strong current hindered the dragging. The water fell three feet yesterday
rescuers stated. Sunset last evening saw no signs of the missing children, and
work will be resumed early today.
Mrs. Grover Meek, 530 Frazer
street, is the mother of Samuel and Floe Meek. Neighbors and friends came to
the assistance of Mrs. Meek last evening when it was reported that she was in
destitute circumsrances, without food and clothing.
Samuel and Floe leave one
brother. The drowned boy attended the Washington school and his sister the
Howard.
Young Newhart is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Newhart, 630 Allen avenue. Mr. Newhart is a section foreman
for the Toledo, Bowling Green and Southern Traction company. Harry, who
drowned, went to the Strother school.
The Stump boy resides with
his grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan M. Stump, 715 College street. His
mother, Mrs. Dora Stump lives in Fostoria, it was said. He is in the third room
of the Howard school.
Saturday night yoiung Stump
rested at the Slough home. He bemoaned the fact that he lost his hat and canoe
paddle. He said that all the children had removed their shoes and stockings.
The boat was found downstream
a short distance. According to police, the canoe belonged to Theodore Herge of
North Cory street. It was said that the children had taken it from a canoe
house at Riverside park without the owner's permission.
Start from Park.
Young Stump told police that
he and the three others went to the park about noon after young Newhart had
delivered his father's dinner pail. They secured the boat and embarked above
the dam. Coming to the dam, they landed and launched again below the falls.
Many persons saw the boat
coming down steam from the Main street bridge. Mrs. Parks, who resides in the
Riverside block, said that she observed the boat headed downstream near Taylor
street, about 5 o'clock.
A hobo cooking his Saturday
night meal along the B and O railroad track told Chief Crawford that he saw the
boat capsize and the children fall into the water. He said that he was some
distance away and was kept back by the high water, and yelled to young Stump to
grab a branch, according to his story to police.
Reports were also given to
police that the children were seen standing up in the boat and apparently
having a most enjoyable trip.
Young Stump said that on the
ride down stream, the boat struck four snags, but none impeded their advance.
In a number of instances he told conflicting stories to police. He feared that
he would be arrested for having taken the canoe from the park. His stories were
frequently interrupted when he would sob bitterly over the loss of his
companions.

SAD DEATH OF EDWARD WEBER
The many friends of Edward Weber and family of Buchanan
Station were shocked to learn that his lifeless remains had been found in an
old well near his barn last Sunday morning. The facts as near as we can learn
were as follows:
Mr. Weber sometime before had suffered from a severe attack
of lagrippe which had left him in poor health. He was not despondent, however,
as he had received the most careful attention by his family and friends and
physician.
Sunday morning about 5:00
o'clock Mr. Weber awoke and asked about a drink of water. Mrs. Weber offered to
get one, but he arose and went out doors. When he did not
return, Mrs. Weber became
puzzled, then alarmed. She searched, and after failing to find her husband,
called the assistance of neighbors, and after some time Mr. Weber's remains
were found in a well near the barn. While a verdict of suicide was rendered by
acting Coroner John W. Feiock, there is room for doubt and the possibility that
he fell in the well, which may have been uncovered by other ways than by himself.
In addition to suffering from the effects of the flu, Mr.
Weber had been injured by a cellar door, and that his physician had warned him
to avoid any great exertion.
The funeral took place last Thursday afternoon when
services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. J. Srodes of Woodsfield and were
attended by an unusually large number of friends from far and near. The remains
were laid to rest in Buchanan cemetery.
Mr. Weber was an elder in the Buchanan Presbyterian church,
a very substantial church member, an exemplary citizen, husband, and father of
many good qualities.
He leaves his wife and three young children; his father,
Christopher Weber, a sister, Mrs. Henry Young, and three brothers, John, David,
and Will, all of near Lewisville. He was a life-long resident of that section
of the county where he resided at the time of his death.
