OBITUARY
CARDWELL - Mary (Wood) Cardwell, widow of James D. Cardwell, was born in Campbell Co., Va., July 26th, A. D., 1811, and departed this life in Gallia Co., Ohio, March 18th, 1892, aged 80 years, 7 months and 20 days.
She united in marriage with James D. Cardwell, Dec. 23, 1830, living together in a peaceful relation as husband and wife for 45 years, sharing together all the trials and joys incident to this life until death called her faithful husband from her side, March 1st, 1885, from his home on earth to his home in Heaven. This union was blessed with 13 children, 5 sons and 8 daughters. Eight of these children are living, 5 having preceded mother to the world above.
Mother Cardwell, very early in her life, sought and found peace with God, and united with the church and lived a very devoted Christian life until God called her from labor to an eternal reward in Heaven. She was a faithful member of the Morgan Christian Church 20 years prior to her death, and was always ready with willing heart and hands to do all she could to support and build up the church she so much loved.
She was very much afflicted in the latter part of her life, being confined to her room and bed most of the time for 7 years prior to her death, but she bore her afflictions with as much patience as any one could expect, and died in the full triumphs of faith in Christ. She leaves 8 children and a very large circle of friends and relatives to mourn.
Goodbye, dear Mother and friend, but not forever. We will meet again
[Note: Virginia Marriage Records states they were married Dec. 13, 1830. Buried in Clark Chapel Cemetery in Morgan Township.]

Died at his residence in this city Friday, April 13th, 1883, Franklin Carel, in his 88th year. The deceased, son of Rene Carel, was born in Paris, France, December 16th, 1795, and arrived with his father’s family in 1803, at Gallipolis. At an early age he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and afterwards in manufacturing. He was engaged for a time with his father in the manufacture of salt, which gained a wide reputation for its excellent quality, and with others erected and put in operation the first steam saw-mill in Gallia County and the first foundry. He was successful in business and retired from active pursuits many years ago.
Mr. Carel during his life held many important public positions. He was Justice of the Peace for twenty-one years; a long time City Recorder, Township Clerk, etc., and also Associate Judge for Gallia County, being upon the bench when the new constitution took effect abolishing the office. He was a Trustee of the Gallia Academy for nearly fifty years past, and was Treasurer of the Board over thirty years. He was a member of the Masonic Order, being one of the oldest if not the oldest member in the Lodge.
Mr. Carel saw the first steamboat descend the Ohio river, and was somewhat alarmed at the sight. He was proverbial for his honesty, was widely and prominently known, and was universally loved and respected by ever[y] one. His funeral services took place last Sunday afternoon, at his late residence on the Public Square, and were conducted by Rev. C. F. Creighton, after which his remains were followed to the grave in the Carel lot, at the old Cemetery, by a large concourse of friends.

OBITUARY
Virgil Carel. The family of Virgil Carel has lost their best friend, his neighbors a kind and obliging man, and the public a faithful citizen. Indeed, in all the relations of life, no one was heard to find fault with Virgil Carel. He was born in France, in July, 1799, came with his father's family to Gallipolis in the year 1803, where he resided up to his death. His mind was of no ordinary caste; he was enabled to comprehend and work out the most difficult problems in mechanical science; he was the first inventor of the stern-wheel boats. In 1828 he constructed two miniature engines, showing by the application of the power of the same, the momentum of the wheel would be carried over the dead points without requiring a fly wheel; his plans and suggestions were reported to an engineer of some celebrity, who decided that no great advantage would be gained by the use of two engines instead of one. Virgil Carel not possessing the means required to turn the invention to a profitable account, rather abandoned the project, and in less than two years some two or three stern-wheel steamboats came out, and since then, ten of that construction have been built to one of the side-wheel. His next great invention was the revised condition of the flues in the boilers of engines, by which the flues pass through steam instead of water, thus converting steam by heat into gas, the most powerful agent in nature, by which less fuel and less weight of water would be used, and producing double the power now employed in the ordinary mode. His thoughts and suggestions became ridiculed by many who had not mind to comprehend the magnitude and importance of the views and suggestions advanced by him. Among other improvements suggested, was a plow of less weight, and so admirably adapted to turning over any description of land, that less horse power was required than of any other then in use. He applied for a patent, the result was that it was not granted, as the Commissioner of patents decided that it conflicted with one already patented, which, on a critical examination by skillful mechanics, was pronounced unlike the one that his plow would be in conflict with, by which the agricultural community has lost the advantage of one of the best inventions of the age.
His mind was never at rest; he was continually engaged in generalizing, and drawing valuable deductions from every day's observation. His views were often so far above the comprehension of ordinary minds, that he was ridiculed; but it was those only possessing a knowledge in mechanical science that were benefitted by his suggestions, and could properly appreciate the force of his thoughts.—The world has lost a most valuable citizen.—He breathed his last on the 19th day of March, 1863, having been the subject of disease the last year of his life. So great were his domestic virtues, and appreciated, that his remains were followed to the tomb by an immense concourse of his friends and neighbors. L. N.

Arthur W. Carl, 71, City Auditor, Died Friday P. M.
Gallipolis Resident 38 Years -Funeral Here 2 Sunday
City Auditor Arthur W. Carl, who had suffered a long time from a serious heart condition, died at 4:40 Friday afternoon at the Holzer Hospital. Even before he went to the hospital two weeks ago his illness was so grave that his death was believed imminent day after day.
More than half of his 71 years -he and family came here in 1906 -had been spent in Gallipolis and his genial nature and courteous demeanor had won a host of friends.
Last of Generation
Arthur William was youngest and the last survivor of the six sons born to Charles A. and Caroline Carl of Carlton. The father was the leading coal producer of the county over a long period before the turn of the century. Arthur, born April 2, 1873, in the village named for the family, assisted his father in the mining and mercantile business and probably directed the business for some time after his father's death.
Here he was for years a salesman and general assistant for E. J. Resener then the owner and operator of what is now the Laufer mill. As city auditor his tenure was uninterrupted by the more recent changes of administrations and he gave the office close attention until failing health made that impossible.
Back in September, 1898, Mr. Carl and Lora Bing of Cheshire were united in marriage and their union lasted until March 6, last year, when she died suddenly while attending a chore which she thought he was physically unable to perform. Some months after that he gave up what had been their home opposite the Holzer Hospital and rented a rome [sic] at the Libby Hotel. He was cared for there at the beginning of his last illness.
Mr. Carl is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Helena Milair of Cortland, New York, who had been at his side daily the last three weeks and by a grandson, Alan Milair. The son-in-law, Cleveland Milair is an officer in the Navy and was unable to come.
Mr. Carl was a Mason, Elk, Knight of Pythias and had served as secretary of the United Commercial Travelers here until he resigned a few weeks ago.
The body was removed to the Entsminger mortuary and the funeral services will be conducted there by Rev. Charles G. Baird, Episcopal rector, at 2 o'clock Sunday. Interment will be made in Gravel Hill Cemetery.
Pall bearers have been selected as follows Clyde McCormick, Earl McCormick, W. M. Scott, Robert Henke, M. M. Drummond and Chester Leaper.
Friends may call at the Entsminger parlors after 7 o'clock this evening to view the features of the decedent.

Carman
Little son of David and Hettie Carman, aged 4 months and 22 days. After 11 hours of intense suffering his little spirit passed away, June 24th, 1890, to that bright world that God has prepared for him. He leaves father, mother, three brothers and two sisters to mourn their loss. May God grant we may all meet this little darling on the other shore.
| A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled The boon his love had given, And though the body moulders here, The soul is safe in heaven. Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O'er the spoils that Death has won, We would at this solemn meeting Calmly say Thy will be done. Though cast down, we're not forsaken; Though afflicted, not alone. Thou didst give and Thou hast taken - Blessed Lord, Thy will by done. Call not back the dear departed, Anchored safe where storms are o'er; On the border land we left him, Soon to meet and part no more. When we leave this world of changes, When we leave this world of care, We shall find our missing baby In our Father's mansions fair. Aunt Electa |

Carnes, Eleanor [Neal]
Eleanor, Wife of H. U. Carnes, Died Saturday
City Is Saddened By Loss Of Noble, Beloved Woman
An announcement for which unnumbered Gallipolitans had steeled themselves for weeks came late Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Eleanor Neal Carnes, wife of Hubert U. Carnes, had succumbed at 4 o’clock at the Holzer Hospital to a long, distressing and hopeless illness.
This paper had refrained from any mention of her return to the hospital late in March, or to the slow but inexorable worsening of her condition, in compliance to her own request. When death was near, she expressed her gratitude for the fulfillment of that wish.
Appreciative, Generous
The incident is mentioned because it brings out in bold relief one of the predominant attributes of her well-rounded and exemplary character. Her varied activities throughout her adulthood were punctuated, so to say, by acknow-ledgements in words and deeds of the kindnesses and courtesies extended to her and her loved ones. But for her the supreme joy of living was to serve and to give. Her generous impulses were ever being manifested in the timely helping of those about her in tokens of appreciation, in acts of charity--and they were in evidence to the last in her new associations at the hospital. And she was a bright and attractive woman.
Many persons have remarked in recent weeks to this writer that they did not recall another illness that had brought to the community a more poignant and depressing sorrow.
In the Carnes-Neal home at 442 Third Avenue, decedent had spent most of her 48 years. She was born in the adjoining house, where Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kerns live, on September 13, 1894, the daughter of E. Lincoln Neal and Mary Mullineux Neal.
She was graduated from the Gallipolis High School and then attended Virginia College at Roanake, Va. for a year or two. Her marriage to Mr. Carnes was an event of nearly 30 years ago.
Mr. Carnes, now assistant cashier of the First National Bank, was then connected with the American Express Company and they lived for a few years in Cambridge, Ohio, where he was born and reared. Then they returned to Gallipolis and shared the home of her parents and tenderly cared for them during their long years of invalidism.
Two children cam to bless the Carneses. They are Captain John N. Carnes, a flight surgeon, who obtained a leave and came home to be with his mother during the greater part of her last illness; and Miss Elizabeth Carnes, a teacher in the Gallipolis schools. Also surviving is a grandson, John Beynon Carnes, who is with his mother at New Amsterdam, Ohio, and whose birth on May 8 brought a smile to a young grandmother, who knew she would never be able to see the youngster. Two brothers also mourn the passing of one who had been so dear to them as far back as their memories reach; Howard Neal, local druggist, and Dr. Joe M. Neal of Minneapolis.
Mrs. Carnes had been a member of the First Presbyterian Church since her childhood. She was a past matron of the Order of Eastern Star and a past regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
She became seriously ill last fall. An operation was undergone, but its only result was to confirm fears that her ailment was one for which medical knowledge could provide palliatives, but no cure.
Funeral services will be conducted at 2 o’clock Tuesday at the home of Rev. Cecil Marley. Interment will be made in Mound Hill Cemetery by George J. Wetherholt & Sons.

Slight Injury Causes Death Bidwell Man
George Robert Carrell Cuts Hand and Dies Week Later of Blood Poisoning
Funeral on Monday
A slight cut on his hand, from which septicemia (blood poisoning) developed caused death of Geo. Robert Carrell, 61, of near Bidwell at 3:30 Thursday afternoon. The end came at St. Francis Hospital, Columbus, after his arm had been amputated in a futile effort to check the spread of the poison.
It was a week ago that Mr. Carrell cut himself while engaged in putting a tin roof on the home or some other building belonging to Merch Clark on Campaign. At that time he did not anticipate any serious consequence, but on the following day he was unable to resume his work. Sunday he was worse and some of his children who had come down from Columbus induced him to accompany them home and to enter a hospital.
Mr. Carpenter was a carpenter and lived about a mile this side of Porter, on the road to Gallipolis, though Bidwell rural route was his post office address. He was a member of Kyger council, American Mechanics, and of the Baptist church. He would have been 62 next August.
Mr. Carrell is survived by his wife, Laura Carrell, and ten children. Four of the six sons live in Columbus; Clarence F., 1236 Manchester Avenue; William Earl, 111 E. Schreyer Place; Harvey A., 2223 Barrymore Avenue, and George T., Cordell Avenue. There are also Harley D., of Bidwell; Leroy W., Phoenix, Arizona; Mrs. Ethel Brannon, Akron, and Mrs. Grace Harmon, Vinton.
The body is expected to arrive at Bidwell at noon Saturday. The funeral services will be held Monday, probably in the afternoon, depending on what word is received from the son in Arizona. They will take place at the home and Rev. M. V. B. Stump and Rev. Earl Cremeans will officiate.
Burial will be in Fairview Cemetery near Bidwell by Undertaker J. L. Coleman.

Carter, Charlotte [Amos]
Mrs. Charlotte Carter, wife of Judge Robert Carter, of Perry Township,
this county, died at her home Tuesday, November 17, 1891. She would have been 75 years old December 22d, having been born on that day 1816.
She was the daughter of Asa Amos, a prominent citizen of his day, and was married to Judge Carter a little over 58 years ago. Ten children were the fruit of this union, five of whom survive her vis.: Wm. A. of Pittsburg,Kas., Missouri McGath, of Sciotoville, O., James and Annie Carter, yet single at home and J. Hunter Carter, of this city. She left brothers and sisters as follows: Mrs. Thomas Carter, of Perry township; Mrs. Mary Ann Bolton of Wyoming County, N.Y.; Covington and Decatur Amos, of Lawrence county, and Leftrage Amos, on New River, W.Va. Her husband, Judge Carter, also survives her, at the age of 77.
Mrs. Carter's trouble, which led to her death, began over a year ago,
when a cancer appeared on the back of her hand. She suffered from this to such an extent that it was determined to remove it, and the day after last Christmas, Drs. Eakins and Howell performed the amputation of the hand. After this she gradually improved, until she received a severe fall, which increased her delicate and invalid condition, which was marked by a gradual descent to the terminaton of her life. Toward the last her sufferings were most excruciating, but were patiently and heroically borne to the end. She was widely known as a good wife, loving mother and kind neighbor, and was repsected, greatly, by all who knew her.
Her funeral services were conducted by Hon. John W. McCormick, after
which she was buried at Salem near Patriot. And this is life when at its best.

In Memoriam
Edward J. Carter
Edward J. Carter, son of Amon and Eliza Carter, was born at Patriot, Gallia County, Ohio, September 12, 1868; died at Lancaster, Ohio, January 10th, 1918, aged 49 years, 3 months and 28 days.
He was united in marriage to Elizabeth Rees, daughter of David and Margaret Rees, April 12, 1890, and to this union was born six children-Clarence L. and Everet E. of Patriot, Ohio; Nellie V. Gills of Arabia, Ohio; Gladys N. Lusher of Columbus, Ohio; Donnie of Patriot, and Addie of Arabia.
His affectionate companion, whom he so dearly loved, having died 15 years ago, he found a welcome home with his brother George at Patriot, and was always welcome at the homes of his other brothers and sisters.
He was a trusted employee at the Boys' Industrial School at Lancaster, Ohio, four years, during which time he performed his duty and fulfilled his obligation with such promptness and fidelity that he was held in the highest esteem and confidence by all of the employees at the Institution.
Ed. represented in his life a true spirit of American citizenship, having taken so much interest in the current events of the day that he fulfilled all the rights and obligations of a true American citizen.
His kind and genial disposition won for him a host of friends in the community where he spent the greater part of his life.
In his association with others he was courteous and gave due consideration to the rights and opinions of all with whom he associated.
When a message came a few days ago that Ed. was stricken at Lancaster we held out a hope for his recovery, and when the message followed so quickly announcing his death we were unprepared to receive the sad news.
He leaves to mourn his departure the following brothers and sisters: George F. of Patriot, Ohio; Albert L. of Parkersburg W. Va.; Mrs. Lutecia Copeland of Gallia, Ohio; Mrs. Mary McDaniel and Mrs. Ethie Jones of Columbus Ohio. Two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Payne and Mrs. Ina Jones, having preceded him into the life beyond.
While we with sorrowful hearts bid him farewell we cherish his memory with a fond hope that we shall meet him again where parting shall be no more.

‘Aunt Fannie’ Carter Passes At Age Of 90
Few Days Illness With Pneumonia Proves Fatal - Funeral Wednesday At 11 A.M.
Mrs. Fannie Carter, who was ninety years old last November 26, died about 4 o’clock on New Year’s afternoon after a short illness. Just before Christmas, Mrs. Carter was taken with a heavy cold which developed into pneumonia. Up to her last illness, Mrs. Carter’s health was very good for one of her years and she was mentally alert and active.
Mrs. Carter was the daughter of John F. and Ladotia Loucks Spangler, leading Gallia County pioneers, and the greater part of her life was spent in Harrison township where she was born. At the age of seventeen she married William A. (Dick) Carter, a veteran of the Civil War, and shortly before his death, 22 years ago, they left their country home and came to Gallipolis to reside. Her home since then had been at 435 First avenue, opposite the Our House.
Surviving are four daughters, Mrs. O. W. Lusher, of Pt. Pleasant, Mrs. C. R. Hoodless, of Philadelphia and Mrs. J. C. Tinsley, of Lynchburg, Va., who were with their mother at the end, and Mrs. A. J. Smith, also of Philadelphia, who is expected to arrive today. An only son, Fred, died several years ago. There also survive fourteen grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Hattie Tope, wife of Rev. W. H. Tope, of Elgin, Ill., and Mrs. Ella Lusher, widow of W. G. Lusher, of Mercerville and one brother, William Spangler, of Ft. Collins, Colo. She was particularly devoted to her family as they were to her.
Despite her advanced age, Mrs. Carter was modern in her ideas and up to the last, got much out of living. She kept her interest in the things about her and was an inveterate reader of the newspapers. She was a lifelong member of the Methodist church and although not able to attend services in recent years, she kept up her affiliation with Grace Church and its women’s organizations.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at eleven o’clock at the Grace Methodist Church with the pastor, Rev. W. S. Westerman officiating. Burial will be in Mound Hill cemetery under the direction of Elias Wetherholt. The body will be at her late home after seven o’clock this evening.
Pall bearers will be T. E. Berridge, V. J. Niday, Dr Raymon Allison, N. R. Carter, Dr. Otto S. Carter, and James L. Haskins.

Geo. F. Carter Dies At Patriot 3 P. M. Friday
Was Widely Known Citizen- Funeral 3 P. M. Sunday
About 3 o'clock Friday afternoon at his home in Patriot, George F. Carter, one of the county's oldest and best known citizens passed away. Though he had been bedfast for a week the end came suddenly.
Mr. Carter was nearing his 88th birthday. Yet to his friends he never seemed to be an old man, nor in his hearing or speech or thinking did he show the marks of senility, at least up till last fall when he made his last trips to the county seat.
Burial Mound Hill
Burial rites will be held at 3 o’clock Sunday at the home, with Rev. C. W. Frye officiating. Interment will be made in Mound Hill Cemetery by O. E. Elliott.
Decedent took a deep interest and an active part in county politics, but never sought office nor even hinted that he cared for political preferment. He was a lover of harness horses and was never happier than when attending a good fair and exchanging views with old friends about current events. He was a man of strong convictions which he expressed frankly and forcefully and often picturesquely.
During his long active life he must have known well as many Gallia County people as anyone else this writer can think of. And among the host of friends that survive him there will be a poignant regret over his passing.
George Carter was born at Patriot May 23, 1857, a son of Ammon J. and Elizabeth Ann Waddell Carter. He married twice. His first wife was Nettie F. Womeldorff. To them were born two sons, Luther, who died in 1938, and Fred, who died in 1943- two terrible blows for the devoted father.
Mr. Carter's second wife was Lena Cook who survives. To them were born two daughters, both living. Marie, wife of Clarence Brumfield, local clothier, and Parnie, who lives at the parental home. The grandchildren are George Wilson Carter of Houston, Texas, Evelyn Carter, whose whereabouts is unknown, Carter, Luther and Katie Brumfield, Gallipolis.

Mrs. Guy V. Carter, sister of Probate Judge Gates, died at her home in Tuscola, Ill., Sunday, July 18, 1909, aged 65 years. While she had been in poor health for some time, her condition was not regarded as critical and her death was a shock to her relatives and friends.

Gates, Perry, of Hayes, Ill.; Robert of Tolono, Ill.; Howard, of Champaign, Ill.; John of Iowa; Mrs. Minerva Eakin, of Patriot; Mrs. Anna Howell, Mrs. Allie Berger, of Hayes; Miss Irene Gates of Patriot. Of Mrs. Carter the Tuscola Review says in part:
Mr. and Mrs. Carter have been residents of Douglas county almost continuously since 1861, living on their farm near Hayes until about ten years ago, when they retired from active business life to enjoy the fruit of their earlier years of toil. Their genial hospitality and true friendliness attracted to their home a large circle of friends, who will grieve deeply over the going of one whom they had learned to love, and who will be greatly missed. The funeral services were held this (Wednesday) afternoon from her late home and were conducted by Rev. McFadden. Her three daughters arrived, one on Monday and the others on Tuesday, but the two sons who live in the west were not able to get here in time for the funeral services.

IN MEMORY
Lewis F. Carter, son of William and Caroline Halley Carter, was born in Harrison township, Gallia County, Ohio, November 18, 1845, and died May 9, 1921, aged 75 years, 5 months and 20 days.
He suffered a stroke of paralysis Jan. 27, 1921, and was in a critical condition until the death angel took him away. All that loving hands or medical aid could do was of no avail.
He was married August 8, 1894, to Belle Campbell. To this union were born two daughters, Lida and Anna. He leaves to mourn their loss his wife and two daughters, two grandchldren, Geneva and Carter Johnson, one sister, Mrs. Sarah Leaper of Charleston, W. Va., two brothers, Guy of Kankakee, Ill, and Wilson of Gallipolis, and a host of other relatives and friends.
He spent his boyhood days in Harrison township, and his early manhood days in Colorado, where he homesteaded in 1887, but returned to his home township in 1892, where he married and spent his remaining days.
Early in 1915 he professed a living faith in Christ and united with the M. E. Church as a probationer, but later afflictions prevented his being taken into full membership. To say he was faultless would not be human, but his motto ever was honesty and truthfulness. He was an ardent reader of the Bible, a lover of nature, strong in personality and an affectionate husband and kind father.
Dear father, thou hast left us, We thank thee Lord, that thou To give peace, and joy untold |
The funeral was held at ten a.m. May 11, by Rev. John L. Porter, interment in Mound Hill by undertaker Tope of Waterloo.

Luther Carter, Aged 55, Died Here Sunday
Had Made Unusual Record As State Employee
Funeral Here 3 Tuesday
Luther J. Carter succumbed to a long and distressing illness at 2:20 Sunday afternoon at the Holzer Hospital. Though most of his adult years had been spent at the Boys Industrial School at Lancaster, as the chief farmer of the institution's acres, this native son of Patriot was extensively acquainted in the county and he was very highly esteemed. Failing health dating back two years caused him to resign his position last April. He suffered from cancer and after mid-summer he was bedfast all the time. He was brought to the Holzer Hospital on October 3, not with any hope of overcoming or arresting the malignant ailment but a desire to make his last days as comfortable as possible. There was a decided turn for the worst late in the week, after which the family and their intimates knew the end was very near.
Once Worked Here
Decedent was born at Patriot, April 2, 1883, the older son of George F. and Nettie Womeldorff Carter. He spent his boyhood in that community but when quite young accepted a position at the O. H. E. From that institution he went to the Athens State Hospital and then to B. I. S. in 1905. When he resigned his post he was, in point of service (30 years), the oldest member of the staff, though his age was but 55 years, and during that period had never been absent from duty except for the regular vacations.
Mr. Carter married Alfa Starner of Lancaster on May 29, 1920. Their wedlock was a happy one and to the last she remained at his side and lovingly ministered to his every need. He was a man of few diversions and his principal hobby was that of raising dogs, and as a dog fancier and breeder was widely known in his adopted county and central Ohio,
There survive, besides the wife and father, his step-mother, two sisters, Mrs. Clarence Brumfield of this city and Miss Parnie Carter of Patriot, and a brother, Fred, who lives on Luther's farm on Sandfork beyond Patriot.
This sketch would be wholly inadequate without some reference to the unusually strong attachment between the now bereaved father and this son. They reveled in each other's companionship, and as a result each visited the other at frequent intervals and between visits there was a steady outgoing and incoming of messages to keep the filiation unfailing and admirably warm and glowing. But Luther was not merely a favorite of his father but of the whole family circle and of other circles that knew him well.
Funeral services will be conducted at Grace M. E. church at 3 o'clock Tuesday, with Rev. W. Scott Westerman in charge. The body will lie in state in the church vestibule for two hours prior to the funeral time. Burial will be made in Mound Hill cemetery by A. E. Tope. For pallbearers these fellow employees of the decedent at the Industrial School have been chosen: Glen Devore, Tom Rees, Norman McCloud, Glenn Rittgers, R. B. Stevers, Lester Edwards.

Carter, Oberlin M.
Stormy Career of Officer Ends in Simple Rites
Oberlin M. Carter Finds Peace in Last Rite
Some one pushed a button near the entrance to Graceland cemetery chapel, and in precise electrical response the strains of hymns, played on a mechanical organ, rolled over the dim green pews.
The dirge ended, and a minister who had never known him rose to read a simple funeral ritual yesterday for Oberlin M. Carter, 88, before 25 old friends and neighbors of the "American Dreyfus" whose death Tuesday closed a 40 year fight to clear his name of defrauding the government.
Fought For Vindication
A West Point graduate, Carter, as a captain of engineers was given supervision of a $3,500,000 Savannah Ga. harbor project, out of which grew charges that he defrauded the government of $2,000,000 thru collusion with contractors. He was court martialed in 1898 and sent to Leavenworth for five years. He served his sentence and ever since had fought to clear his name, going thru 27 rulings of federal courts and reaching the United States Supreme court four times.
However the funeral speaker, the Rev. Jesse H. Dennis, St. Alban's Episcopal church, made only indirect reference to all that, saying he understood the deceased had felt himself unfairly judged but, as a Christian, had now come before a fair judge. There was no eulogy- the minister noting it would be unfitting for him to deliver one for a man he had not had the privilege of knowing.
Closest Friend Attends
Only one close relative attended- a nephew, Emerson Lucas of Memphis, Tenn. There were several distant cousins and Carter's closest friend, W. A. Benson.
Carter lived for many years at 2947 Wilson av., and one of his neighbors, George Fink, 4506 N. Francisco av., paid tribute to his work toward community betterment, speaking informally at the end of yesterday’s rites. Carter had become a consulting engineer after leaving Leavenworth.
No messages had been received from former army associates, but Lucas said he expected there would be some inasmuch as his uncle had many loyal friends in that group.
[Note: Oberlin Mathias Carter is a son of Robert T. and Lucinda M. (Williams) Carter; grandson of Isaac and Alice (Armstrong) Carter. He was born July 11, 1856 in Gallia County and died in Cook County, Illinois July 18, 1944. From Diane Lanigan, Records-Graceland CE....Oberlin M. Carter was cremated July 21, 1944. The cremation was authorized by his nephew, Emerson Lucas. Later, he requested the ashes be shipped to him in Huntington, West Virginia.]
There are several obituaries for Oberlin Carter, but believe the one above was from the Chicago Tribune, July 22, 1944.

Carter, Phoebe [Ripley]
Obituary of Mrs. Carter
Came to Nashua in 1853 and Lived in Log House Where Nashua Feed Mill Is Now Located
Phoebe Ripley, the third child of David and Easter Ripley, was born October 5, 1825, in Gallia county, Ohio, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jake Jones, near Carrville, on Monday, March 16, 1925, at the age of 99 years, 5 months and 11 days.
In April, 1845, she was married to Wm. B. Carter, in Gallia county, O. In the spring of 1853 she and her family came west, built their first home, a log house, on the banks of the Cedar river where the Nashua mill now stands. Later they moved to their home farm on the Charles City road, where her children grew to manhood and womanhood. The children are: Addie Carter, who preceded her in death in the spring of 1914; Marion, of Toledo, Wash.; Alice Bumgardner, of Charles City; Bowen, of Birch Tree, Mo.; Julia Rawson, of Ackley, Minn.; Olive Sperbeck, of Nashua; David and Lorenzo D., of Charles City; William of Appleton, Minn.; George of Charles City, and Arminta Jones of Nashua. Her husband died about thirty-four years ago.
For many years she had made her home with her children, spending most of the last eighteen years with her daughter, Mrs. Jones, at whose home she died.
She first united with the Baptist church at Cherokee, later uniting with the Baptist church in Nashua. Grandma Carter, as she was most commonly called, though living the life of a pioneer, had many blessings in the last lap of her journey; such as good health, good eyesight, mentally strong, able to do the common things of life up until the last year. About Christmas time she began to fail, being able to be up only part of each day. A few days ago she was taken with bronchitis and in her weakened condition it caused her death.
Besides her children she leaves thirty-four grandchildren, numerous great grandchildren, and a number of great great grandchildren, also one sister, Mrs. Julia Johnson, who is still young and active at 88 years of age.
| It matters not the time of year. It matters not the day. It always leaves an aching heart. When mother's gone for aye. |
[Note: She is buried at Riverton CE. in Iowa. Phoebe Ripley Carter's grandparents, Joshua and Rhoda Ripley, were early arrivals to Gallia County and are buried at Ripley CE. William B. Carter was a son of Isaac and Alice (Armstrong) Carter.]

Death of Judge Robert Carter, A Pioneer.
Death has claimed another one of our pioneer residents, Judge Robert Carter. His death was not an untimely one, for his life has been withering for the past year. Few men living outside of Gallipolis are better known than he was who has been called beyond, and his death will bring sorrow to the hearts of his host of friends. Deceased was a man of straightforward and dignified demeanor, strict
integrity, and his death is sincerely lamented.
Deceased was born in Walnut township, this county, Jan. 15, 1814, and was 83 years of age at the time of his death. The ultimate cause of his death was the infirmities of old age. His wife preceded him a number of years ago and beside her his remains were interred Thursday afternoon in the burial grounds at Salem church.
He was the father of ten children, five of whom survive him. Viz: William A., Missouri, John H., Anna and James P. Carter, who will cherish the memory of a good, kind, indulgent father. Judge Carter served as Probate Judge of this county about a quarter of a century ago and was elected county commissioner two consecutive terms. He became a member of the Odd Fellows twelve years ago, joining Patriot lodge, and under their ritual be laid to rest.
Wetherholt had charge of the funeral.

A woman "whose price was far above rubies" has gone out from among us. Mrs. Thomas Carter departed this life at Patriot, Ohio, July 20, 1894, full of years and of good works.
She was a daughter of Asa and Nancy Amos and was born in Shenandoah County, Virginia October 27, 1819, was married at the age of 16 to Thomas Carter of Gallia County, Ohio, and became the mother of thirteen children: H.C. Carter, Gallipolis; F.M. Carter, Patriot; C.W. Carter, Cadmus; Chas. W. Carter, Patriot; Mrs. Harvey Ripley, Patriot; Mrs. J.S. Roach, Waverly; Mrs. Ed Ecker, Gallipolis; Mrs. Joseph Wagner, Oakland, Maryland. A sorrowing husband who waits but till the short remnant of his earthly pilgrimage be accomplished that he may join her in the "Better Land" and eight children mourn her loss and will not be comforted.
Mrs. Carter was a kind and loving mother, devoted wife, and a sincere friend. In health she studied and practiced the teaching of God's word and in sickness she bore her suffering with meek and uncomplaining resignation, saying simply and mildly, "His Will be Done."

Carter, William
CARTER-On the morning of July 18, 1889, at his residence in Harrison Tp., this county. William Carter passed quietly and peacefully away at the advanced age of 83 years. The inception of his infirmities was several years ago and allopathy proved to be no alterative, and his health has been impaired gradationally. Two weeks previous to his death he was prostrated with that sudden and lamentable disease, paralysis, which claimed him as its victim. All that was in human aid to do was done by kind and attentive friends to alleviate his sufferings, but revivification was impossible, and responsive to the Master's call his spirit took flight to the haven of eternal rest.
He was born in Virginia, Feb. 16, 1806, and emigrated to this county with his parents when quite young, and as can be perceived has passed through the vicissitudes from early pioneer life up to the present. His advent here was weird and incidental. It afforded him great pleasure to relate his adventures in early life. The country then was sparsely settled, and abounded with wild game, and was the huntsman's paradise. He had participated in many exciting chases. He was hospitable and a father to the needy, and his social qualities and genial disposition gained him many friends. He advocated the Union cause in the late war, but his age disqualified him from service, but he furnished two sons for the Union army. He attached himself to the M. E. Church many years ago and remained a faithful member to the last. Six sons and two daughters survive him, and are left to mourn their irretrievable loss.
| The eye that shuts in a dying hour Will open the next in bliss; The welcome will sound in the heavenly world Ere the farewell is hushed in this; We pass from the clasp of mourning friends To the arms of the loved and lost; And those smiling faces will greet us there Which on earth we valued most. E. L. |
[Note: William Carter was a son of John and Mary (Lahr) Carter arriving in Gallia County from the Shenandoah Valley area in the early 1800's. He married Caroline P. Halley in 1829 in Gallia County. Both are buried at Patriot CE.]

Carter, William B.
William B. Carter, whose death was noticed in our last issue, was born in Gallipolis, Ohio, July 16, 1823,
and lived there until 1853, when he moved to Nashua where he lived some six months and then moved
to the farm four miles north of Nashua where he has since resided. He leaves a wife and eight children to
mourn his loss. He died at his residence August 4th, 1891, living only a few days after his sad accident.
The funeral services were held in the house, Rev. Evans, of Charles City, preaching the funeral sermon.
His remains were buried in Riverside Cemetery at Charles City. Mr. Carter was a kind father and
husband, the best of neighbors, and one of the leading citizens of Riverton Township. His sudden death
is the cause of universal mourning by all who knew him, and all extend a heartfelt sympathy for the
bereaved wife and children.
[Note: William B. Carter was a son of Isaac and Alice (Armstrong) Carter, and a grandson of John and Mary (Lahr) Carter. His first wife was Phebe Ripley, daughter of David C. and Easter (Griswold) Ripley, a granddaughter of Joshua and Rhoda Ripley. Although a marriage year of 1848 is often given, thus far no record has been located by me. His 2nd wife was Roselthe A. Loper Tiffany. His date of birth was more likely between 1825-1828.]

Death Comes In Flash To John Milton Casey
As He Listens Alone to Radio in Elks Club Rooms,
Where He Had Worked for Years
Funeral at 3 [o’clock] Friday
John Milton Casey, 55, colored, dropped dead in the Elks club rooms about 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. He had gone there to look after his duties as janitor, a position he had held for perhaps 15 years. (A brief notice of his death appeared in a large part of Tuesday’s last edition).
His lifeless body, lying on the floor of the reading room, was found by Charles Huber. Its position indicated that Casey had been seated in front of the radio and had toppled from his chair. The radio was “tuned in” and a distant orchestra was playing a requiem for the faithful and popular janitor.
Ill All Winter
Dr. J. T. Hanson was called and pronounced death to be due to a sudden heart attack. For several months John had been in poor health, suffering from severe heart affection, [sic] but during the last month had recuperated to such an extent he felt able to resume his work for the Elks. He lived in his own property at 731 Third Avenue.
John was born and spent his whole life in Gallipolis. He was a son of the late George and Cordelia Casey and would have been 56 years old next Oct. 14. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Hattie Casey, and seven bright children; and from one who knows comes assurance that their family was one of genuine love and whole-hearted devotion. He was a kindly soul and made a host of friends and was acquainted with nearly everyone in Gallipolis and was known as a devoted and indulgent husband and father.
For 30 years he was in the employment of one of the city’s oldest families, the Luptons, and gained a reputation for reliability and integrity. He is the last of his father’s family, a sister, Mrs. Mayme Williams, having preceded him in death. His children are John, Thompson, William, James, Paul, Robert and Elizabeth.
The funeral services will be held at John Gee Chapel at 3 o’clock Friday, an hour and a half after hour for the funeral of Miss Lena Dills. Interment will be made in Pine Street Cemetery by Undertaker W. N. Hayward.

Death of Mr. Casey
It is with great regret that we are called upon to record the death of Mr. Leander Noles Casey, father of City Councilman Casey and the well-known dairyman. The sad event occurred Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, April 8, 1903, at his home, the John S. Rodger’s place a short distance out the Chicamauga road.
The remains will be brought to his son’s residence on Third avenue above Cedar, this evening, and the funeral services will be conducted there Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock by Rev. L. L. Magee, the burial following at Mound Hill, conducted by Undertaker Wetherholt.
Mr. Casey left a wife and only one son mentioned above and was without brothers and sisters. He came to Meigs county from Eastern Virginia and was married there to Miss Louisa Boice 45 years ago. They moved to this city 24 years ago. He was a soldier in the great civil war, belonged to Cadot Post G. A. R., and drew a pension of $12 for disabilities incurred in the faithful discharge of his duties.
He was a quiet inoffensive, exemplary citizen much respected by all of his acquaintances. He had a spell of the grippe this winter, that left him weak and debilitated, but there was no thought but that he would gain strength and become well again. Only last Friday morning he was in town. He was taken down that day however with an inflammatory condition of the bowels that was complicated with other troubles. He would have been 67 years old the 29th of this month.

Pvt. Ray Casto Killed On Train By Allied Planes
Official Report Of Tragedy Received At Last
Mrs. Mary Russell Casto has received particulars of the tragic death of her husband, Pvt. Ray Casto, in Germany from the war department.
Pvt. Casto, who became a prisoner of war on Nov. 8, was killed April 19, when British planes strafed the train on which he and other prisoners were returning to their camp, near Hamburg, from a small town where they had been working. Mrs. Casto was greatly comforted by a letter from one of her husband’s buddies, who was on the train also, and is now at his home in Alabama. He verified the war department’s report and said he attended Pvt. Casto’s burial the day after the accident in an American cemetery. A French priest officiated at the last rites.
It was Dec. 4 that Mrs. Casto received the notice that her husband was missing in action in Germany on Nov. 8. Not until Feb. 9 did she learn that he was a prisoner and after that she heard directly from him five times, the last dated Feb. 25. His letters were all hopeful and cheerful. Knowing that he was a prisoner, Mrs. Casto could not understand the notice she received June 19 saying he had been killed in action until she had the further information.
Ray Casto was almost 34 years old, the son of Mrs. Laura Casto of East Gallipolis. He leaves also a little daughter, Mary Faye, 2, a brother and a sister.
This morning after the above was written, Mrs. Casto was notified that her husband had been awarded the Purple Heart medal, posthumously.

Cating, John
Death Of Dr. Cating
Scion Of An Old And Prominent Family Passes To His Eternal Reward
Dr. John Cating, whose critical condition was mentioned Saturday in the Daily Tribune, died that night, Dec. 29, 1906 at 10:30.
The funeral services will be conducted at his late home, the Cating homestead, just beyond the city limits at one o'clock Tuesday, New Year's Day, by Rev. Ernest B. Meyer, of the Episcopal Church, the interment following at Pine Street Cemetery on the family lot by Hayward & Son.
Dr. Cating was the oldest son of John and Isabel Cating, a prominent family. In his boyhood he attended the best institutions of learning here and at Marietta, Athens and Washington, PA, and we believe he was a graduate of Washington College. Later on he graduated from the Medical College of Ohio at Cincinnati and practiced medicine for awhile with Dr. G. W. Levisay, but never seemed to like the profession and of late years did but little in that line.
He belonged to the old school of Democrats and took quite an interest in politics at one time. Of late years his health has not been good and he has come to town and mingled with people but very little. He was never married and always made his home at the old place now the home of Mr. A. R. Cating and family. Dr. John was a true friend and was hospitable and kind and had lots of friends, who will be sorry to learn of his death.
An unusual incident is mentioned in connection with his death. The night he was born, his mother saved the candle that was burned in the room and gave it to him with the request that he burn it when he was married or when he died. Only a few weeks ago Mrs. Cating ran across the candle among some of the Doctor's things and asked him what he was saving that old candle for and he told her and it was burned at his death Sunday night.
Talking with Dr. Charley Parker who attended him in his illness today, he said that it was his opinion that he had an attack of cerebral hemorrhage, which caused him to fall forward on his face and another hemorrhage may have followed. Sunday afternoon his mind cleared up very considerably, but it was seen that the end was not far away and at the time stated passed away.

Death of Mrs. Clarissa Cavin
Mrs. William or Clarissa Cavin, the oldest female, resident, perhaps, in town or county, passed away peacefully to her eternal home, on last Friday evening, January 4, 1889, at the hour of 6 o’clock, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Hobson McClurg of this city.
Mrs. Cavin’s maiden name was Clarissa LeClare. Her parents came here with the second installment of emigrants from France, in the early days of the settlement of Gallipolis by the French. Clarissa was the seventh of seven daughters, born inside the old Fort on the Public Square, August 30, 1797, and was consequently, well advanced in her 92nd year. Mrs. Adelaide Maguet, who died last March, lacking but 18 days of 100 year was a sister, and Mrs. Lewis Denney, of near Porter, this county, is now the only surviving sister, Mr. Wm. Cavin, her husband, to whom she was married when but fifteen years old, died 43 years ago. By him she became the mother of thirteen children, seven of whom were reared to an adult age, Daniel, William, Lewis, Frank, Louise, Mary and Eliza. Four of these are yet living---Mrs. Louise Baltzell of Mt. Vernon, Ill. And William Cavin, Mrs. Zachariah Denney, and Mrs. Hobson McClurg. Twenty three grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild survive her also. The last, Guy Tippens, son of Mr. Jas. Tippens, is seven years old.
Mrs. Cavin always resided here. After the death of her husband, she lived with her son Frank, on the corner of Third and Cedar Streets, until he died in 1877, and since then most of the time she has lived with her daughter, Mrs. McClurg. About four years ago, she received a slight paralytic stroke, which affected nearly all of her senses and general health to a greater or lesser extent, and it may be said that she has been in constant failing health ever since. She was a very remarkable woman in many respects. She had been a member of the M.E. Church for half a century and was devoted to her bible and Christian duties. She was extremely industrious and looked with disfavor on those who were not. She was an agreeable companion and an eminently good woman.
Her funeral services were conducted at her late residence at 3:30PM Sunday, by Rev. M.V.B. Euans. Her burial was conducted by Hayward & Sons at the old cemetery. It will not be long until the link is broken which binds our people with those sterling characters, that came here and planted the seeds of civilization on the banks of the Ohio a hundred years ago. It excites our feeling as they are called one by one to join the great majority that are buried in the past. Peace be with them.

Cavin, Hattie [Friend]
Mrs. Hattie Cavin Dies At Mackenzie Home Wednesday
Mrs. Hattie Friend Cavin, of whose critical illness there was mention in these columns a few days ago, died at 7:30 last night at the home of Harold A. Mackenzie and family, 55-½ Court St. On Christmas day she was brought there from her own home at 925 Third Ave.
Mrs. Cavin fell and was permanently crippled six years ago. Her death was caused by a heart condition and infirmities incident to her advanced age. Because of her near-helpless-ness, Mrs. Cavin was invited to come to the Mackenzie apartment and there received the tender care of Mrs. Mackenzie and other members of the family.
Mrs. Cavin was born Feb. 28, 1864, in Oil City, Pa., and hence, lacked 17 days of reaching her 84th birthday. (Mrs. Mackenzie was born in the same city but it was some time after she came here that she knew that she and Mrs. Cavin hailed from the same town).
Decedent was a daughter of Charles and Ann Callaway Friend. She was twice married. Her first husband was Joe Jolly, and they are survived by a daughter, Mrs. Ernest Sharp of Detroit, who arrived here Monday. There are three grandchildren, Mrs. Wayne Barwell, Youngstown, who has often visited here, and Charles and Ernest Sharp, Detroit. There are two great-grandchildren. Decedent’s second husband was William A. Cavin, who had a blacksmith shop on Second Ave. opposite the post office for many years.
For 17 years Mrs. Cavin was employed at the GSI and in later years was a seamstress.
She was a member of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and attended services regularly until she was physically disabled. Funeral will be held at the church but the time has not been fixed. The body is now at Miller’s Home for Funerals.

Funeral of Miss Cavin
The funeral services at the interment of Miss Mayme I. Cavin, conducted at her late home on Third avenue at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon, were very largely attended by the best people of the city. Rev. L. L. Magee officiated. The casket was literally buried in the choicest of flowers.
The pallbearers were Messrs. Earl, Will and Bert McCormick, Dr. Hanson, W. Q. Miles and J. E. Halliday. The music and remarks were beautifully solemn and impressive.
Miss Cavin was a lady with many friends. She was amiable and kind in disposition, refined in tastes, bright intellectually, adroit and dextrous in handiwork and pleasing in person, and her death was universally regretted. She found favor with her Creator during her illness, was resigned to her fate, and as the officiating minister said at the tomb, “Blessed are they who die in the Lord.” Her aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cavin, and her two brothers and sister will have the sympathy of all in what we know must be an almost inconsolable loss.

An Old Citizen
Has Answered the Summons of Death
Mr. William Cavin, residing on Third Avenue, between Cedar and Spruce streets, died last Friday morning, August 28, 1903, at 7:30 o’clock. The deceased was in the 85th year of his age, and with the exception of Mr. James Vanden, was the oldest native born citizen in this community. His mother, Mrs. Clara Leclaire Cavin, was the first French child born in this city. Mr. Cavin’s grandparents came to America from France and were among the first settlers in Gallipolis.
When thirty years of age the deceased was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Campbell, who still survives her husband at the age of seventy-three. To them five children were born, three sons and two daughters. A daughter, Miss Mayme, and one son, Lewis, preceded their father in death. William John and Miss Roma are still at the old home. Mr. Cavin had thirteen brothers and sisters, but one of whom survives, Mrs. Eliza McClurg.
During the war Mr. Cavin had charge of our jail, and afterwards conducted the Sherman House, which is now the Ulsamer Hotel. He was for many years a clerk on the wharf boat. The house in which Mr. Cavin was born still stands at the corner of Third Ave. and Cedar Street.
The immediate cause of Mr. Cavin’s death was paralysis, with which he was stricken about six months ago. Rev. J. W. McCormick conducted the funeral services from the late home of the deceased at one o’clock last Sunday afternoon, and the burial was at the Pine Street cemetery by Hayward & Son.
