September 1947

Florence Jennie Hull , youngest daughter of George W. and Mary Ann Allison Piper, was born in Shelby, Mich. On April 13, 1869, and departed this life on Sept. 10, 1947, aged 78 years, 4 months and 27 days. Although she had been failing in health for the past year, this particular day she seemed to feel in the best of spirits and had talked with friends and neighbors well into the early part of the evening when suddenly she was taken with a heart attack, and even though loved ones were right there, God had seen fit to grant her request that when she went, she would not be a care to anyone, and almost at once had folded her in His embrace and carried her to her heavenly reward. At an early age she united with the Progressive Brethren church and later transferred her membership to the Black River Church of the Brethren, where she was a most active an dependable member of both church and society as long as she lived. She also took an active part in the W. S. C. S. of the Methodist church in Spencer. During World War II the Red Cross presented her with a certificate for her faithful work in that organization. On Dec. 15, 1887, she was united in marriage to Charles B. Dague of Penfield, O., and to this union were born two children, Clarence H. and Hazel May. All during the life of the deceased she had been a most willing helper of the sick and needy; always ready to put her own needs behind and give unceasingly for the other fellow. Following the death of her husband in 1930, she resided alone at her home on S. Main Street in Spencer for some years, but tiring of this lonely life, on February 6, 1933, she was married to Grant L. Hull and to the time of her death she was a most loving and faithful wife and one of the best of mothers and grandmothers. She leaves to mourn her loss a loving husband, 2 children, Clarence H. Dague of Spencer and Hazel M. Browand of Litchfield; 2 grandchildren, Eleanor Browand Bond of Lantava, Fla., and Kenneth Browand who at present is with the US Army in Germany; 2 grandchildren, Hal and Linda Bond; also a step-daughter and 2 step-granddaughters and a host of other relatives and friends.

Death of Barnabas Jackson

The death of Barney Jackson, as he was familiarly called, in Eaton, last Thursday, was a surprise to a host of citizens who knew him well, because they had not learned of his sudden illness. His wide circle of acquaintance and his activity in business affairs thus brought to a sudden termination, will occasion deep regret among many who were not connected with him by family ties. The following brief reference to his life and character has been furnished us: Barnabas Jackson was born March 24th,1818, in the town of Monson, State of Maine, and died August 8th, 1889, aged 71 years, 4 months, and 15 days. He was the seventh son of Joseph and Susannah Jackson, of a family of thirteen children, only two of whom survive him; a brother and a sister. When 18 years of age, he with his father's family, enduring all the hardships of that early day, moved by wagon to Liverpool, Ohio, and he remained there 17 years. At the age of 28 his father died, leaving upon him the responsibility of caring for his mother and younger brother. In the winter of 1849 he was married to Martha Farnam, of Portage County, O. In the spring of 1853, he, with his wife and mother, moved to North Eaton,O., their present home, having lived there 36 years. He leaves a wife and seven children, five boys and two girls. Barnabas Jackson was a very active man and of sterling integrity. He had an unyielding will power, and always had a way of getting out of difficulty. There was no such thing as fail with him. He was kind and generous; a free giver to all good enterprises. During the war he was especially active, and gave his time and means whenever it was needed. He was always looked upon as a good counselor and advisor. He was a loving husband and a kind father, and his loss will be felt for many days. The family circle is for the first time broken. The funeral was very largely attended and perhaps was the largest country funeral ever seen in this neighborhood. The services were conducted by Rev. W.B. Olmstead, and were short, simple, and impressive. The text used was psalm 89:18. The singing was especially good and appropriate.

ESCAPED ONCE BY JUMPING, Charles Ketchum Missed Same Death Just One Year Ago

FALLS INTO RIVER, Train Traps Shipworker on Railroad Span; Dies Instantly, By James Mahony

Within a few feet of where he missed death by a split second less than a year ago, Charles Ketchum, 55, 1046 F st was killed last night. Struck by a freight train on the Nickel Plate railroad bridge over Black river, Ketchum was instantly killed. His body plunged 45 feet into the river below. Taking the same shortcut" to his east side home that he had used for many years, the former ship builder was within a hundred feet of safety when he was trapped on the narrow railroad bridge by the train. The accident happened at 6:55 pm. Coroner S. C. Ward said that death was caused instantly by a broken neck. Ward also said that the victim suffered fractures of both legs, crushed chest and numerous cuts and bruises about the head and body. Last summer, Ketchum eas trapped on the railroad bridge by another train, but managed to reach the end of the trestle in time to leap to safety by the margin of a couple of feet. So close was the train when he jumped that witnesses seeing him leap and fall, thought he had been struck by the locomotive and summoned an ambulance. The same ambulance responded to last nights ambulance call. Railroad officials said that Ketchum was within 100 feet of the east end of the bridge when he was crowded to the side by the train. Authorities believed that Ketchum failed to see the fast approaching train in time to reach safety because of the curve in the terack about 300 yards east of the scene of the accident. Railroad workers who were near the scene at the time of the accident said that Engineer Frank Huber of Conneaut, O sounded the whistle and applied the brakes as the engine bore down on Ketchum. Ketchum was reported by authorities to have crouched on a narrow plank beside the rails apparently hoping the train would miss him. The cylinder of the locomotive struck the side of his head. The impact broke his neck. John Arndt, Vermilion, tender in the bridge look-out tower, said that Huber stopped the train within 100 feet of where the man was struck. Railroad officials said that the train was slowing down for the safety stop at the intersection of the Baltimore & Ohio tracks near Broadway.

After many long weeks of intense suffering, the wife of Police Captain. S. L. Ketchum succumbed to the inevitable. She died this morning at 4:40 and with her death came relief from the most excruitiating pain. For many days, the suffering patient was given opiates and anesthetics were administered freely. Her death many weeks agao would have been welcomed by her. While many friends sympathize with the family, still they know that nothing could relieve the pain but death. Everything available had been done to relieve her of the cancerous growth but it was impossible. The deceased was born here 56 years ago and was the daughter of Graham Lamb. Selah Lamb and Mrs. Walter Rose, of this city and Timothy Lamb of California, are surviving brothers and sister. Two daughters and the husband mourn the death of a kind and patient mother and wife. The funeral wil take place Sunday afternoon and burial will be made at Elmwood cemetery. Rev. Thompson will officiate.

A VERY LARGE FUNERAL

One of the largest funerals ever held in this city was that of Mrs. Ketchum yesterday afternoon at the family home on Oberlin Ave. Only a small portion of the persons present were able to gain access to the house. The residence was crowded as were also the porch and front lawn. Rev A. E. Thompson conducted a most impressive service and a quartette rendered several beautiful selections. The floral tributes were many indicating great respect for the desceased as well as the members of the family. Many friends, lake captains, policemen, Knights of Pythias and Lady Macabees, as well as other orders remembered the bereaved. The casket was buried with flowers. The policeman formed a guard of honor as the casket was removed from the house. Four of the acted as pallbearers. The remains were taken to a C. E. & W. special car and taken to Elmwood cemetery for burial.
