The most beautiful flowers often fade and die the soonest. They shed their fragrance upon the air and are gone. So these lovely flowers of hope and promise are gone - Gone to those beautiful mansions above, prepared for them in the Father's Eternal Kingdom.
-And as the evening shadows fall around.
They closed those love-lit eyes in sleep profound;
Their weary bodies sank? from pain away,
Their happy spirit rose to realms of day,
No withering sorrow now can pierce those hearts?
That heaved so wearily -They are at rest. J.W.W.

Frank Fowler, aged 66, a descendant of one of the oldest families in Coshocton County, died at his home in Bacon Run, Linton Township, shortly after midnight Sunday. He had been a sufferer from Bright's disease for many months and since last July had been confined to his home the greater part of the time. His condition became critical about two weeks ago and the end was not unexpected.
Mr. Fowler was the son of Richard Fowler and the grandson of Richard Fowler, who was one of the first settlers, and built the second house ever built in Coshocton County. Frank was born on the farm settled by his grandfather and lived his entire life there within a radius of one hundred yards from the house in which he was born. He was one of the sterling, dependable citizens of his home community and known throughout the county for his honesty and uprightness. Eccentric in many ways, Mr. Fowler prided himself upon the fact that he had never been on a railroad train and with the exception of frequent trips to the county seat had never been away from home except twice, which were also the only times he was ever out of the county. Both trips were necessitated by business and were to Otsego, Muskingum County and Kimbolton, Guernsey county.
Mr. Fowler devoted the greater part of his life in farming until six years ago when he gave up that pursuit to become a proprietor of a general store. Twelve years ago he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Lutz, who survives. There were no children. He was the third of six brothers to die, the surviving being: W. A. Fowler, John W. Fowler and Hiaram Fowler, all of Bacon Run.
Funeral services will be conducted at the Plainfield M. E. church, Wednesday morning, the cortege leaving the home at 10 o'clock. Interment will be made in the church cemetery. The pall bearers will be his six nephews Ray, Earl, Frank, Harvey, John and R.P. Fowler.

Isaac Hootman, of the north bend of Wills Creek, died of Bright's disease of the kidneys on Saturday morning, Sept. 17, at his home. He was in his 75th year of age, was born in Oxford township, but reared in Linton township, lived and died there. He was one of the most active men in the township in the days of his youth. He could turn a somersault and was hard to beat at a foot race or a "hop, step and jump" on level ground; which were the favorite sports of the boys in his days. He was a well-to-do farmer, a good neighbor, and, I believe, a kind father and an honest man. He was not a member of any church; but professed faith in God, and a resurrection of the dead, and received the ordinance of baptism from the hand of Rev. John Baker, who visited him several times in his last sickness. He leaves a wife and several sons and daughters, all grown to manhood and womanhood and married. His funeral took place in the M.P. church in Plainfield, on Sunday the 18th, at 12 o'clock, m. Rev. John Baker officiating, after which he was buried in the Plainfield cemetery.

Mrs. M. was the last survivor of 10 children, of that family. Her father, (Evans) was the first person buried in what is now called Jacobsport Cemetery.
It is said that he was passing on horseback through the red-brush on that flat, in the dark of evening, and when he came to the known, (now the cemetery), something took hold of his thigh like the hand of a man. It shocked him somewhat, as he could see no person, nor find a cause for such a sensation. He told his family about it when he arrived at home, and said he believed it a token of death. It seemed to prove true, as he took sick, and died in a few weeks, and buried on that same knoll where he felt the "man's hand on this thigh".

David Maple, living near Linton, has lately lost his wife and two married daughters from typhoid fever. I understand that one of his sons is also down with the same disease. Maple's son-in-law and family moved out of the house where the daughter died and another family moved in. Now the wife of the new tenant is down with typhoid fever. This shows that houses where disease prevails should thoroughly cleaned before moving into them. Note: Mrs. Maple was buried Nov. 26, 1889.

Mr. Seth McClain, one of the most prominent citizens of this county, died at his home in this place last Saturday morning, January 19th, in the 64th years of his age; the immediate cause of his death being pneumonia, although his system had been much enfeebled from a prolonged attack of rheumatism. The fatal illness was of brief existence, he having been on the streets the preceding Thursday.
The Coshocton County History, published in 1881, gives this biographical sketch of Mr. McClain, which is probably accurate in every respect.
Seth McClain was born in July 1819, son of James and Elizabeth McClain. His grandfather, Seth, came from Washington county, Pennsylvania. Young Seth was raised in Linton Township, until he was fourteen years of age, when he entered as a clerk in the dry goods store of Thomas C. Ricketts, in Coshocton. He afterward clerked for Meek & Johnson. In 1849, he took the hazardous overland trip to California, making the trip in four weeks and six days, being the first man from this county to enter San Francisco. He remained in the Golden State two years, then returned and clerked for Medberry, in Roscoe, commanding the highest salary in the neighborhood - $500 the first year, and $1000 for the second year. He was a candidate for Sheriff, and only lacked a few votes of being elected when the Democratic majority in the county was about 800. He bought Medberry's stock and did a business of $30,000 per year. Next he closed out his stock to S.C. Burrell & Sons, and engaged in extensively in buying and shipping live stock. Mr. McClain was married in Feb. 1864, to Mary, daughter of John and Sophia Frew. They have one child, Lewis, born Nov. 18, 1866. Mr. McClain was previously married to Sarah Frew, sister of his present wife.
The deceased was a man of great business ability, and was recognized as one of the noblest of God's creations - an honest man. His funeral took place Monday, a large concourse of friends and relatives following him to the grave. Religious services were conducted by Revs. Hims? and Conkle, and the burial was according to the rites and ceremonies of Odd Fellowship, of which Order he had been an active member for something like thirty years.

He was married to Miss Fannie Vandegriff, of that city, one year ago last January, and they lived a very happy but short married life. "Charley" had host of friends in this city, also Newark and Plainfield; and many came to see him during his illness, and he was always glad to see them. He suffered much pain during his sickness, but was very patient. He told them not to weep for him for "if he could not recover and live with them, he would have a home in heaven with his mother."
"We only know that his is gone,
And that the same returnless tide,
Which bore him from us still glides on,
And we, who mourn him, with it glide."

Mr. McKee was 64 years old and was one of this section's best citizens. He was the son of Andrew and Fannie McKee, born and reared on the farm where he died. In 1870 he was united in marriage with Miss Rebecca J. Fowler, daughter of the late William and Elizabeth Platt Fowler, of Bacon. Before her marriage, Mrs. McKee was a loved and successful school mistress. She was the mother of three children only one of whom, Charles, survives his father.
An affection of the eyes has made Mrs. McKee almost blind. She could not look upon the face of her dead husband but asked to be permitted to touch his hands and place her cheek against his cold and lifeless face as he lay in the casket, kissing him on the forehead and bidding him a long farewell. The scene was pathetic in the extreme.
A large number of friend and relatives attended the funeral.

Mrs. Catharine Moore was born April 23, 1849, and died Sept. 8, 1904, aged 55 years, 4 mos., 15 days. She was married to Wesley Moore at an early age. To them were born three children - Ella, Charles and Maggie, the latter two remaining at home with their father, while the former is married and resides in Conesville.
Mrs. Moore was an affectionate wife, a kind and tender mother, a good neighbor and true friend, and was highly esteemed and respected by all who knew her. She was a woman of great courage and fortitude, choosing rather to conceal her burden than to complain; and during a period of six long years of suffering she planned, labored and gave her best thoughts and energies to the maturing of her children and maintaining a bright and happy home. She was of a quiet gentle disposition and had a large circle of friends and relatives who will greatly miss her. Her husband, daughters and son have the sympathy of the entire community. Funeral services were conducted at home by Rev. Peoples, and interment was made at the Plainfield cemetery.

Her funeral took place at the brick church in Plainfield, on Sunday at 11 a.m. before a very large concourse of people; relatives, friends and neighbors. Rev. John Baker officiating. She was buried in the Plainfield cemetery; and there has never before going into the ground here so large a human body and casket.

The funeral of Thomas Platt, Esq, took place in the M.P. church here (to which he belonged) on Friday the 14th inst. The services were conducted by Rev. J. B. McCormick, the pastor, assisted by Revs. Bartlette , McCarty and John Vail of the M.E. church and John Baker. He was buried in the Plainfield cemetery. He was in his 84th year, was son of Robert and Margaret (Parker) Platt, who were among the early settlers of Linton township. Mr. Platt was born in the State of New Jersey and came to Ohio with his parents about the year 1816, and had been a resident of this township ever since. He was married to Miss Eliza Ann Harbison, of this section, who preceded him to the grave just 36 years to a day. To this union 10 children were born, 7 sons and 3 daughters; 7 of whom survive him. His second marriage was in 1866 to Mrs. Ann Campbell, who survives him. He had no children by his last wife. Mr. Platt was a good, quiet, inoffensive man, modest in all his ways. He was a true patriot, volunteering with four of his sons to go in to put down the last rebellion. Mr. Platt served as Justice of the Peace in this township for several years. He was a carpenter by trade. I understand that it was Mr. Platt's request to be buried in the army blue, a fine suit of which was purchased by his sons and placed upon him and his G.A.R. badge rests on his breast in the grave. Linton Township has lost a good citizen and the family a kind husband and father.

The sons of V. J. Powelson, deceased, viz: E.N., Joe and Rev. Alfred removed last week from the family grave yard on the old home of their grandfather, Conrad Powelson, on Willscreek, now owned by Thomas Kirk, the skeletons of the grandfather, grand-mother and several of the sons, children of the old folks and the children of the late V. J. and Ellen (Thrap) Powelson, to the number of nine skeletons in all, to the Plainfield cemetery, where the parents of these three sons were buried within the last 18 or 20 months. The sons tell me that they had to dig at least seven feet deep to get the skeletons of their dead. Some of them have been buried for 65 years, some 50 years, and some later. The sculls, teeth and larger bones were all sound. They suppose that the reason why the bodies were buried so deep, that our earlier settlers feared that wolves, or other wild animals might dig up the dead.

Note: Lucinda Powelson was buried at Owl Creek Baptist Church. However, her remains may have been re-interred in the Plainfield cemetery. See Conrad Powelson. Since Conrad was married twice, I am not sure that Lucinda was the grandmother that was referred to with the re-interments.

Lucinda Powelson died of old age and debility at her residence in Linton township, Coshocton County, May 25, 1885. Her maiden name was Lucinda Honey, born in Earquhar County, Virginia, in the year 1900, hence 85 years old. Her father having died in Virginia when she was young, she came with her mother and the rest of the family to Ohio in the year 1819 and settled near Utica, Licking County. She was united in marriage with Conrad Powelson, a widower with five small children, in the year 1826. Mr. P. brought her to his farm on Wills Creek, where they both thereafter lived and died, he going before in 1841, dying of consumption, thus leaving her a widow with nine children of her own, besides step children, who were principally all grown to man and womanhood at their father's death. The mother struggled hard to keep her family of children together and educate them until they all became of full age, and married, except one, Miss Kate, and went out into the world to do for themselves. Six of her own children and four of her step children preceded her to the spirit world, nearly all of whom died of consumption.
By her own request she was buried at the Owl Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, six miles north of Utica, in Knox county, Mr. T.J. Cook, of Plainfield, was chosen to convey the corpse by rail to its resting place. He was accompanied by her granddaughter, Mrs. Charles Slayton, of Coshocton, and some other near relatives. A large concourse of friends and relatives met them at Utica to escort the dead to her last resting place with her mother, brother, sisters and other relatives and acquaintances of her youth, long since gone to that place from whose boura no traveler returns.
Mrs. P. has one aged brother tottering on the verge of the tomb, who is the only one of a large family of children who survives her. She was a faithful, industrious wife, a kind and loving mother, a good neighbor, and, above all, a Christian who was only waiting for the summons, "Come up higher."

Monday afternoon last West Lafayette sustained the loss of an old and honored citizen, in the death of Col. C. F. Sangster, which resulted from general physical infirmities, incident to extreme old age.
In the vigor of manhood he was noted for his spirit of progressiveness, sterling individuality and integrity of character. A loyal Democrat he has frequently filled positions of trust, and always in a manner which reflected the highest degree of credit upon himself and party. A man of unimpeachable honor, a courtly gentleman, fair and considerate in his attitude toward others, he enjoyed the love, the confidence and esteem of his fellows, and in his passing all who knew him pay tribute to his manly worth in a general sorrow.
Col. Charles Fleming Sangster was a native of Virginia, having been born in Fairfax County, that state, within sixteen miles of historic Mt. Vernon, Sept. 15, 1810, making his age, at the time of his demise, 92 years, six months and 28 days. He was a son of James and Priscilla (Ford) Sangster, his father being of Scotch and his mother of English descent.
Col. Sangster remained a resident of his native state until 1849, when he came to Linton Township, this county. In 1866, he removed to Lafayette Township, where he continued to make his home during the remainder of an unusually prolonged life.
Feb. 24, 1845, he was united in marriage with Sallie E. Gore, of Muskingum County. Seven children - two sons and five daughters - were born them, viz, James and Charles F., Jr., of Kansas, Ella C., now the wife of Major T. J. Platt, of West Lafayette; Anna, wife of C.H. Glover, of Coshocton; Hattie, wife of J. W. Cooke, of Wichita, Kan., and Mollie and Laura, who remained at home, ministering to the last to the wants of their aged parents.
Mrs. Sangster preceded her husband to a better world just three years, her death occurring April 13th, 1900.
Col. Sangster was chosen president of the first agricultural society organized in Coshocton county, in 1852, and was re-elected the following year and again in 1857. In the latter year he was elected a member of the Ohio Legislature and served two years, and also served six years as a member of the board of infirmary directors. In 1890 he was elected a member of the decennial board of equalization for the 18th senatorial district.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. George E. Rainsberger, at the Sangster home in West Lafayette, Wednesday afternoon, and the remains were consigned to their last earthly resting place in the grave, in the Plainfield cemetery.
Rev. Rainsberger, in the funeral oration, paid eloquent and well merited tribute to the virtues of the departed.
