Died: In Camp Pine Grove, near Corinth, Miss., July 18^th, of typhoid fever, Sergeant Joseph M. Corey of Co. “G,” 63d Reg., aged 18 years, 6 months and 19 days. Joseph was a young man of lively, amiable disposition, a dutiful son, a faithful friend, and with a heart ever alive to the call of patriotism. He was one of the first to shoulder his musket at the commencement of the war, and continued in the army until his death. After his return from the three month’s campaign in Western Virginia, he obtained a Lieutenant’s commission, and labored faithfully in the recruiting service, until he took his final leave of Marietta with his regiment. He was a general favorite throughout the camp, and during his illness of four weeks, received every attention from his sympathizing comrades. It is a consolation to his bereaved friends at home to know that his end was such as he desired - he died in the cause of his country. [Memorial poem follows.] Signed: M.W.

Friday, Aug 15 1862

Died: On Friday afternoon last, [Aug] 8^th, a terrible accident occurred in Macksburg, in this county, which resulted in the death of Miss Jane Atkinson, daughter of Isaac Atkinson, formerly of Newport township. The young lady very incautiously undertook to kindle a fire in the cooking stove by pouring carbon oil from a tin can on the embers. A flash and an explosion instantly followed and the shrieking girl was enveloped in a terrible mass of flame. Aid was immediate, but so shockingly was the unfortunate creature burned that death came to her relief the same evening. She was about 17 years of age.

Friday, Sep 5 1862

Married: Aug. 28, by Wm. Johnson, J.P., Abram Price and Harriet Wilson, both of Warren.

Married: Aug. 18, by Rev. Thomas Wickes, David S. Hoffman and Miss Rosaltha Wolcott, of Watertown.

Married: Aug. 24^th, by Rev. L.G. Leonard, Timothy L. Buell and Laura Thorniley, of Marietta township.

Died: The following notice of the death of John Mills Amlin, son of James M. Amlin, formerly a well known citizen of Washington county, is copied from the Ironton Register of Aug. 28^th. Let us add our testimony from an eight years’ intimate acquaintance, that the subject of the notice was one of the most worthy and truly excellent young men that we have ever known. Departed this life, in Ironton, on the 25^th, J. Mills Amlin, aged 22 years and 6 months. The above was a young man well known by everybody in this community, and, therefore, needs no eulogy, as all are ready to speak of his modesty, amiability and goodness He came to this place with his parents in 1854 and with them united with the Presbyterian church by letter. He made a profession of religion at the early age of 13 years and has been an active and consistent Christian until the hour of his death. On the night before he died, he was told that he could not live. He took the news, as not wholly unexpected. After a few minutes consideration of the approaching event, he replied, “I am prepared to die, for I know in whom I have believed.” He then expressed a desire to see as many of his friends as could be collected, whom he exhorted to do as he had done, “to trust in that Saviour who had done so much for him.” Taking them by the hand he spoke of Jesus as being “very precious to his soul,” as being “with him in the dark valley of death,” and exhorting them “to prepare to die by believing in Jesus Christ, who was able to keep that he had committed until that day and thus to meet him in heaven.” He repeatedly spoke of heaven “as his home” and that he desired all to “meet him there.” He then sent messages to other friends not present and to his Sabbath School class, urging all to “give their hearts to the Saviour in the days of their youth.” He then desired prayer to be offered by his father and others. Then h e requested all to sing - selecting himself such hymns as these, “God is love,” “There is sweet rest in heaven,” “Salvation is free,” &c. During some hours, his whole demeanor was that of the most perfect self-possession and calmness. There were times when his mind wandered slightly, but during those period he said nothing on the subject of religion. When his relations and others were overcome with their emotions, he remained altogether above and beyond such earthly sympathy and seemed to hold sweet communion with his Savior and the heavenly world. Observing how his mother wept, he said, “Mother, weep not for me; my mind is all peace and joy at the near prospect of being permitted to enter heaven.” Thus has passed away from among us an amiable Christian man. May his death be a beacon light to all his friends and associates, thus stimulating them to imitate his example and be prepared, as he was, to leave this world, though unexpectedly called, and enter that of the redeemed in heaven.

Died: In Harmar, on the 9^th, of a disease of the heart, Mrs. Elisa W. Putnam, wife of Douglas Putnam, and eldest daughter of the late Levi Whipple, Esq., in the 54^th year of her age. Mrs. Putnam was a woman of great energy, of ardent feelings, and of the most decided Christian character. Zealously and fearlessly sympathizing in the advancement of human rights, in all works of moral reforms, in the cause of the poor and friendless and in her country’s struggles, she freely used, in their aid and advancement, the liberal means with which a kind Providence had blessed her. The Sabbath School, the church and female prayer meeting will all testify to her constancy and devotedness. She was endowed with a character in which vigor and decision were traits peculiarly marked, yet her nature was so affectionate, sympathetic and tender, that those who knew her most intimately loved her best. During a sickness of six weeks, she was a great and almost constant sufferer, but no word of murmuring escaped her lips. Her spiritual affections seemed to grow and ripen under the best of discipline and trial. [This particular section of the newspaper page is mostly illegible.]

Friday, Sep 19 1862

Married: the 11^th, by John Test, J.P., Josiah Wright, of Capt. Ellis’ cavalry, and Miss Adeline H. Wilson, of Adams township.

Died: In East Plymouth, Washington Co., the 7^th, Harriet J. W. McArthur, only daughter of Dr. D. and Margaret McArthur, aged 18 years and 20 days.

Died: In Harrison Co., Va., Mrs. Mary Maddox, wife of Rev. Matthew Maddox, and daughter of the late Caleb Emerson, Esq., of this city, aged 51 years. [Illegible]. At the age of fourteen, she became a subject of renewing grace and united herself with the Baptist Church, in this place. She was one of its consistent members and from that time till her death, she honored her profession and illustrated the grace of God by a holy life. The field of her husband’s ministerial labor has been for the most part in western Va., and she was a valuable helper and a cheerful partaker of all the hard labors and self-denials incident to the work of his holy calling in such a field. She loved the gospel and believed in its teachings, its priceless value, and for the ___ was willing in the spirit of Christian ___ to deny herself and bear her Cross. She was in all her relations unobtrusive, gentle, kind and faithful. [Last sentence of this obituary is illegible.]

Friday, Sep 26 1862

Married: On the 19^th, by John Test, J.P., Dennis Edwards and Drusa Tucker, both of Marietta.

Died: In U.S. hospital, in Mississippi, June 11, 1862, of the 63d Ohio, after an illness of six weeks, Charles W. Brown, only son of Parley and Charlotte Brown, of Beverly, Washington Co., Ohio, in his 22d year. About a year ago, on the day he was 21, he volunteered and faithfully served his country until his death. He was with his regiment when it left Marietta for the South, and at Island No. 10, New Madrid, and other places, he labored, fought, suffered and triumphed by night and by day for his country. He, like hundreds of other ones, would have preferred to have fallen with the slain on the battle field, but kind Providence ordered otherwise. Had he lived a few days longer, I am informed by the best of authority, he would have been promoted to a Lieutenancy, a position he was well competent to fill, which had not escaped the notice of the Colonel. His Chaplain says, “He was a model in morals, in gentlemanly bearing, and as a soldier, and won the esteem and love of all noble hearts who knew him.” The same has always been true of him everywhere. He was a model son and brother. He has left an untarnished reputation, an amiable Christian and gentlemanly character, and many friends and relatives who feel the loss of such a noble spirit. He fell, but the double honor of the Christian and soldier, rested upon him and endears his memory. May a kind Heaven sustain the afflicted father and mother and only sister. Signed E. Ellison.

Died: On the 19^th [of Oct], in Newport, of diphtheria, Weston Thomas Warren, son of Elbridge G. Warren, aged 9 years.

Died: Elza and Elwood Morris, twin brothers, were born in Watertown, Washington county, Ohio, Sept. 29, 1840. With an elder brother they volunteered in the 77^th Regiment, O.V.I., in November 1861, in Co. B, Capt. Mason. At Camp Dennison, from exposure, Elwood was taken with bleeding at the lungs, but he recovered somewhat and went on with his regiment. They both fought at Shiloh and were unhurt. Moving toward Corinth, Elwood was unable to proceed and was left behind. For a long time none of his friends could learn his whereabouts. In July, his friends received a letter from him at Evansville, Ind., stating that he had been sick with fever and small pox. His physician soon sent him home, saying that he was in consumption. He began to get better. Elza endured the long and fatiguing march (and counter-marching) to Memphis, thence went to Alton, Ill. There he was cut down with fever, dying Sept. 16, 1862. In view of his speedy death, he requested his elder brother to take his body home, and he died a praying penitent. His brother started home with the body. On the arrival, the diphtheria was in the family, and one of its members was then lying a corpse, on the evening of Sept. 19, when the wagon stopped before the house. The shock was almost too much for Elwood in his feeble condition. Three days after the funeral, Elwood was taken with diphtheria. He soon was able to speak only in a whisper. He suffered much, but endured it with patience. He knew his end was nigh and shuddered, and said he was afraid to pass the dark valley alone. He was directed to his Saviour; he requested his brother to pray for him, after which he became more reconciled. “Meet me in heaven,” he said and died at 12 o’clock noon, Oct. 15, 1862. Thus in the morning of life they have passed away. We deeply sympathize with their bereaved parents who have given their sons to die for their country. [Contributor’s name illegible.]

Mr. Racer was on Wednesday attending to his daily vocation as usual, and on Sunday, at 2 A.M., was a corpse. Thus has passed away from among us one of our best and most useful citizens, who leaves a large family of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. Mr. Racer died as he had lived, fully in the belief of God’s universal goodness over all his works. Few men have passed through the world without making more enemies. A kind, affectionate, and indulgent husband and father, he was by them considered almost faultless and nearly idolized. Not only was he always prompt to administer to their early moral and social wants, but was at all times ready and willing to discharge his every duty as a neighbor, friend, and citizen.

Her illness was brief, many of her friends in town not knowing it was serious until they were shocked by hearing of her death. She was a kind neighbor, a faithful friend, an affectionate wife and mother, a true hearted woman. She had been from early life a member of the Presbyterian church, and for many years her mansion was that of great hospitality, at Hanging Rock, where this writer first knew her, and afterwards at Ironton. She had been in Marietta but a comparatively short time - a little over four years - but she had endeared many to her. Her funeral was on Monday afternoon of this week, attended by a large concourse of friends, the services being conducted by President Andrews, of Marietta College.

Died: In Palmer, Dec. 3 of diphtheria, John E. Danley, only living son of Robert I. and Mary Danley, in his 14^th year.

She was truly a tender and loving wife, a kind and affectionate mother. Her sickness was protracted and severe, yet she endured it with Christian fortitude, for her trust was in Christ who was her stay in life and support in death.

Died: In Palmer, of diphtheria, Dec. 13, 1862, John Breckenridge, Jr., aged 36 years, 6 mos., 13 days. Mr. Breckenridge was a man of sterling character, kind and considerate in his family circle, and possessing unbounded influence in the society in which he moved. His loss is felt by all who knew him. His remains were followed to the grave by several hundred friends and neighbors.

Died: In Dunham, Dec. 3, Mrs. Lucy Angeline Ellinwood, wife of S.D. Ellinwood, Esq., aged 45 years. Mrs. Ellinwood’s disease has cast a gloom over this community never before experienced here. In the prime of life and one of the most prominent members of this community, always cheerful, hers was a happy home. She took a deep interest in the welfare of her neighbors. When sickness made its appearance anywhere in her large circle of acquaintances, she was always ready to assist, and many there are in this community who will long recollect her kindness and sympathy in the hour of their affliction. But she has gone to that better land and we but express the feelings of all when we tender to the bereaved husband and family our warmest sympathy in the hour of their deep affliction.

In 1810, in consequence of feeble health, he returned to his native State, but again in 1820 he came again to this State, where he has resided in the counties of Washington and Morgan up to the time of his death. Although a member of no particular church, he was a strict observer of the “Golden Rule,” and lived truly an exemplary and Christian life.

He joined the service last August. He had been sick of typhoid fever for several weeks, but was recovering until near a week before his death when he took a relapse. His father, hearing that he was very sick, at once left that he might assist in taking care of him, but did not reach Falmouth until he had been dead and buried. His remains were taken up and brought home for final interment. An affectionate son and brother, entering the service from patriotic motives, he became a faithful soldier, and though he was not called to fall on the battle field, he was none the less a martyr in his country’s cause. During his sickness he was most kindly cared for by his fellow soldiers in the Battery. A young man of much promise and blameless moral character, he was much esteemed by a large circle of friends, who attended his funeral on Wednesday, the 14^th [of January.]

Died: In Wood county, West Virginia, on the 5^th [of Dec], of typhoid pneumonia, George W. Henderson, Jr., in his 21^st year. He was a member of Marietta College from which place he was compelled to retire to his home by the disease, which after lingering but severe suffering of more than three weeks, terminated his life. While we mourn our loss in the untimely death of our young friend, it is the privilege of one acquainted with him from his childhood, to bear testimony to his many virtues and also to commend them for imitation by all with whom he was associated.

Died: In Union township, of diphtheria, Miss Josephine Quinby [age illegible, might be 38 years]. Josephine the orphan is gone, gone to that beautiful country where sickness and sorrow are not known, gone to mingle her sweet voice with the voices of bright angels that are singing their everlasting anthems of praise to Him that ruleth eternal and to the lamb forever.

Died: At Belpre, in this county, Feb. 19^th, Mrs. Sarah E. Howe, aged 80 years. The deceased, whose maiden name was Sarah Emerson, was born January 5, 1783, at Ashby, Massachusetts. She early made a profession of religion, and united with the Congregational Church. For some time she was a teacher at Boston. She emigrated to Marietta about 45 years ago and was, for many years, an acceptable and beloved teacher there. Some of the most esteemed citizens of Washington County have been her pupils. Mere influence for good in society was wider than the sphere of her calling. In 1827, she married Deacon Perley Howe, of Belpre, where she continued to reside till the time of her death, striving to imitate the example of her Saviour, and progressing in the divine life through trial and suffering. She possessed a clear and well cultivated mind, and warm and kindly sympathies. She felt deeply for the oppressed, and was enthusiastic in her attachment to the cause of Right. She rendered herself highly useful in the education and guardianship of youth. In her last sickness, she expressed the same reliance on the Redeemer and the same trust in Divine Providence which had been the governing principle of her life. The excellent discourse at the funeral by Rev. Mr. Curtis was founded on the words of the Psalmist, “Thou wilt guide me by they counsel and afterwards receive me to glory.” [Memorial poem follows]

This noble young man was a member, greatly loved, of Company G, Capt. Loring, 93d O.V.I. Though he fell not in battle, he died a patriot. Deeply do we sympathize with the broken home circle. It is God’s doing, murmur not at His will. “God is love.” He cannot err. Not a sparrow, without his permission, falleth to the ground. May the consolations of the glorious Gospel of Christ sustain the friends of the deceased. Brother, farewell! Thou art far from the reach and above the ravages of time and war and change and death! His remains were sent home on the same boat in charge of Lieut. Day, of Watertown. Reader, “Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as yet think not the Son of Man cometh.” Signed: W.M.

She was a good girl, considerate, gentle and kind. For one young, she possessed unusual faith in h er divine Redeemer, and love for her Heavenly Father and awaited with anxious longing for the time to arrive when God should send his Angel to deliver her from the bondage of this body, and bid her come home to her heavenly rest. Her remains were brought to Harmar, to the residence of H.W. Smith, where, before burial, religious services were held and consolatory remarks made to relatives and friends by the writer. Signed: M.

Friday, April 13. 1863

Died: In Salem, March 24, 1863, Lieut. John M. Palmer, of the 36^th O.V.I. The battle of life with him is over. He has lain aside his armor and gone to that land where the confused sounds of war are heard no more and where “the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.” He had been in the service of his country ever since August 1861. He was in the memorable battles of Lewisburg and Antietam and at every post he showed himself to be a patriot, a good soldier, a man of nerve who was willing to do and dare and suffer anything, all things for the salvation of his country. As a citizen, he was respected for hiss integrity and gentlemanly bearing, as a Christian he was loved and honored by the members of his church, as an Odd Fellow he stood high in the estimation of his brethren. And being a Christian in truth, he honored and blessed every relationship of son and brother, husband and parent, with a sweet and gentle spirit and a life of fidelity and good works. Surely such a life must be an acceptable service on the altar of liberty - on the altar of our country. His funeral was attended by a very large number of people at the Universalist Church in Salem, March 27^th, where a sermon was preached by this writer, [Signed] J.W. McMaster.

Her death occurred about 18 months after the melancholy death by drowning of her only son, Kincaid, a promising young man, a dreadful affliction to her, but borne with Christian submissiveness. She was a most devoted wife and mother, beloved by all who knew her. For several months she had been a great sufferer, confined to her bed by a partial paralysis. The constant kindness of friends, the deep affection of her family, and the support of religion enabled her to bear patiently her painful and protracted illness. Her funeral was attended on Monday, the 18^th, by a large number of friends, Rev. M. Riley officiating.

Died: April 5, 1863, of pulmonary consumption, at the residence of her husband in Belpre township, Mrs. Lydia Curtiss, wife of Horace Curtiss, aged 67 years. The deceased will be fondly remembered by a large circle of friends and relatives as a lady possessing largely those social qualities fitted to confer happiness upon all her acquaintances. During her protracted sickness, she manifested cheeriness and resignation. She gave evidence of the possession of that faith which robs death of its sting and the grave of its victory.

Died: In the hospital at Carthage, Tenn, March 20, 1863, of pneumonia, Corporal J. M. Danley, Co. G, 92d O.V.I., in his 26^th year. Corporal Danley was one of those noble young men who rallied at their country’s call to go forth in defense of that liberty which his forefathers fought to achieve. He was one of those who left his home at a sacrifice of all his interests, leaving his farm, and all his business affairs, his wife and children, his aged mother, and all associates, to do his duty as a man and a patriot. How well he performed it, let the following from his Captain tell: “Though he died of disease and but little exposed to the dangers of the battle field, he was none the less a true patriot. He did his whole duty, while a soldier, faithfully and without complaining, and was the idol of his company.” He died calmly, only expressing a wish that his family might be with him in the last scene and that his friends at home might know that he “died at post, a faithful soldier of the Union.”

Grimes, what message he wished to send home, he replied, “Tell them I not only die as a soldier of my country, but a soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ,” then passed away with a smile. Surely “blessed are the dead that died in the Lord.” He leaves a large circle of friends and relations to mourn his loss. May God comfort them and bring them to join the loved ones in His everlasting kingdom.

Died: At the residence of his mother, in Barlow township, April 24, 1863, David Harvey, aged 23 years and 5 months. The deceased, feeling that he was needed as one to share the strife of the present rebellion, left all the comforts of a happy home and the association of a wide circle of friends and enlisted in Co. “D,” 77^th O.V.I., at its organization. He went through the memorable battle of Shiloh unharmed, while friends fell fat around him, among the number their Orderly. After the battle, he was promoted to the vacancy, which he filled with credit to himself, his officers and the company. Had he been able to remain in the Regiment a few months longer, he would have received a commission, but during the summer the strong hand of disease laid hold of him. He was ambitious and wished to see this struggle brought to a successful issue, and not until he found that he could no longer be of any service to his country did he apply for a discharge, which was granted to him. He arrived at home unable to walk and lingered for twelve weeks, during which he was kindly nursed by a good mother and sisters, besides being under the best of medical aid, but they could not stay the hand of death. It was the will of God that he should die. It is as sad for us, who are far away, as it is heart rending to those at home, to have one taken away having such bright prospects, one who was honest, kind, cheerful and appeared as a brother, and to...[remaining lines illegible].

Died: In Beverly, [May] 30^th, of diphtheria, Mary A. Staley, only daughter of H.A. and E. Staley, aged 17 years and 11 days. Seldom have we been called to notice the death of one that cast so much gloom on all around. The family circle has been broken. The Baptist church has parted with a worthy member, the Sabbath School with a faithful teacher and society with one of its brightest ornaments. But we sorry not without hope. She left the cheering evidence that our loss was her infinite gain. [Memorial poem follows.]

Died: May 18, 1863, at the residence of his brother, in Lake Co., Illinois, James L. Gage, Esq., aged 63 years. Mr. Gage was a lawyer of fair attainments and of good capacity. His professional life was mainly spent in McConnelsville, Morgan Co., Ohio, where he resided some fifteen or twenty years, visiting the Courts in the surrounding counties. When he had accumulated in his calling some means above providing an eligible and comfortable residence, he withdrew from the bar and engaged in the iron foundry business which he prosecuted with good success for several years at McConnelsville, and afterwards at St. Louis. But during one of those business revulsions that pas over the country and especially cities of rapid growth in the West, he became seriously embarrassed and finally failed in business. He remained in St. Louis some years and then removed to Columbus, Ohio, where he spent the last few years of his life in the Capital of the State to which he was so...[illegible].

Though much esteemed in the community where she had long lived, yet it is in the circle of her own immediate family and kindred that Mrs. Hart will be most mourned and missed. In feeble health for many years, she was only infrequently away from her home. To her children and friends, she was devotedly attached and for their welfare, temporal and spiritual, her efforts and prayers were unceasingly directed. Her sickness was long and painful, yet she bore all with entire submission. Of a large family of eight children, six were present with her during her illness, the other two being absent in the Army. She was a daughter of the late David Wilson, of Waterford, one of the earliest settlers of the State. Her Christian life dates back many years, she having united when quite young with the Presbyterian Church in Waterford. For the last 23 years, she was a member of the Congregational church in H., being one of the original founders. She has left to her friends the legacy of a consistent Christian character, and Heaven may take to itself new charms from the assurance that, if faithful like her, they shall then be reunited forever.

Died: “Death of Doctor Hildreth” - [Note: This is a very long obituary, only part of which is transcribed here.] Dr. Samuel Prescott Hildreth, so widely known as one of the leading and most esteemed citizens of Marietta, died last Friday night, about 11 o’clock - July 24, 1863 - in his 80^th year. He had been in usual good health, a well-preserved and happy old gentleman, until Sunday, the 5^th [of Jul]. On that morning he went to church, of which he was a regular attendant, but at the evening service he was too unwell to attend. He gradually sank away, his mind but little clouded, if any, until he was gathered to his fathers in the fullness of his years, only about two months less than four score. His funeral was on Sunday, [Jul] 26^th, the services being in the Congregational church, of which he was a member, conducted by Rev. Mr. Wakefield, of Harmar, and President Andrews, of Marietta College. Dr. Hildreth was born in Methuen, Mass., Sept. 30, 1783, about a mile north of the present manufacturing city of Lawrence, on the Merrimac River. His family was one of some note in Massachusetts. He was descended, in the sixth generation, from Richard Hildreth, who emigrated from England over two centuries ago. Abel F. Hildreth, distinguished for many years as Principal of “Pinkerton Academy” at Derry, N.H., was his kinsman, and Richard Hildreth, the Historian, is his distant relative. His boyhood was passed in active work on his father’s farm where he acquired the habit of industry and toughened his physical powers for a long, vigorous and useful life. From a “Social Library” in the town, he formed the taste for reading and continued a great reader until his last illness. After the common school, he prepared for College at “Phillips Andover Academy,” one of the best in New England. Without completing a collegiate course, he studied medicine with Dr. Thos. Kittredge, at Andover’s “North Parish.” In May 1805, when less than 22 years of age, Dr. Hildreth began the practice of medicine in Hampstead, Rockingham Co., N.H., a small inland town. He there boarded with John True, Esq., whose brother, Dr. Jabez True, was then living in Marietta, having located here early in the summer of 1788, the first season of the settlement. From him, he learned of a “good opening for a young man” in Marietta. After sixteen months of practice in New Hampshire, he started, on horseback. Sept. 9, 1806 - being 23 years old that month - and arrived at Marietta Oct. 4^th following. This place then contained about 600 inhabitants. He remained here about nine weeks, when on invitation of the leading citizens of Belpre, twelve miles below, to become their physician, he went to that place, Dec. 10, 1806. That night, never more to return to it, Blennerhasset left his “fairy island.” While in Belpre, August 1807, he married Miss Rhoda Cook. She was a native of New Bedford, Mass., and came to Ohio in 1804, her mother having purchased a farm in Belpre, nearly opposite the mouth of the Little Kanawha. For fifty-six years, they trod the path of life together, even-tempered years to them and reaping the reward of industry and prudence, a competence, the love of all, a family of children grown up to usefulness in life, a happy old age. Mrs. Hildreth survives, well-nigh unto four-score, “young for her years.” In March 1808, after a practice of fifteen months in Belpre, Dr. Hildreth returned to Marietta and ever after resided here. [This obituary continues for numerous paragraphs about Dr. Hildreth’s professional distinctions, his writings about the history and geology of Washington County, etc. Please consult microfilm reel, #39487, the issue of July 31, 1863.]

Died: At his residence above Harmar, on Sunday, Aug. 2, 1863, Isaac N. Bishop, aged 63 years, a well known and highly esteemed citizen.

Died: “Death of Jacob Cram” - Our community was surprised last Saturday morning by the intelligence that our townsman, Jacob Cram, was dead. When the call was made for the militia of this district to assemble at t his place, to repel the Morgan invasion, Mr. Cram felt it his duty to respond. Although the condition of his health was such as to render it hazardous for him to leave home, he went, on the morning of July 16^th, with a company of scouts organized the day before, at the head of which he was placed. On the 17^th, they reached Buffington Island and on the 18^th they were fully deployed as scouts and obtained important information of the advance of Morgan. During Saturday night, the force at the ford were ordered to fall back to Ravenswood, by Gen. Scammon, which was done, but Mr. Cram refused to leave with the rest of his command and consequently fell into the hands of Morgan’s forces on Sunday morning. They took his horse and revolver, then paroled him. Where he was during the battle is not known. On Monday he was in the vicinity of Portland, at the head of Buffington, where he was arrested by a Sergeant and two men of the 8^th Michigan cavalry under the pretense of being one of Morgan’s men. Although informed by persons who knew him that he was a Union an, they persisted in attempting to take him to the headquarters of the regiment. He probably tried to make his escape, and in doing so he is understood to have inflicted some injury upon the Sergeant, who immediately drew his revolver and shot him, and left him on the ground. After taking his boots, his money, and part of his clothes, he was buried near the spot where he fell, by whom is not known. Nothing was known here of his fate until Thursday of last week when his brother, J.A. Cram, and B.T. Nye went in search of him. His remains were brought to this place on Sunday and interred in the Mound Cemetery. The deep sympathy of this community was manifested by a large attendance at his funeral. Mr. Cram was born in Marietta, in August, 1820, and was consequently about 43 years of age. He was well known in the Muskingum Valley, where he had many friends. He leaves a widow and three children. Of the 20,000 men called together at this place to repel the Morgan invasion, he is the only one who did not return again to his own home, and he has fallen at the hands of a man calling himself a Union soldier.

Died: In Harmar, Sept. 5, 1863, Peter R. Putnam, Esq., and great grandson of Maj. Gen. Israel Putnam, in his 20^th year. For the first time in a period of nearly thirty years, death has visited this branch of the family and taken from it one whose chances of life seemed far better than that of many others. How strange to us are the movings of Providence, and how are we again reminded, “Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh.” Mr. Putnam, a member of the Marietta Battery, worn out by the excitement and exposure incident to the Buffington Expedition, during the late Morgan raid, gradually sank in a fever which baffling the skill of physicians and the tender nursings of home has added another victim to the slain by this unholy rebellion. A dutiful son, a kind brother, and affectionate husband and father taken from us in the prime of life and in the vigor of manhood. How can we still our throbbing hearts, but by that grace which will enable us to sincerely say, “Not our will, but thine be done.” [Note: The Ohio Archaeological Council’s website has an interesting explanation of the Battle of Buffington Island, viz. http://www.ohioarchaeology.org/joomla/index.php, which can be accessed using their site search option.]

We lament a departed loved one. Yes, death has entered our school and chosen one of the fairest members. Our golden chain of friendship is perfect no longer. A bright link has been detached and transferred to the Maker above. May it attract each of us to that happy place, and though we all shall meet on earth no more, may we assemble a united school in heaven. We, her school mates, join together in ___ her sacred memory and in testifying that while with us, Mary was a friend ever true and faithful. We all esteemed her for her affection and kindness, and respected her for her amiable qualities of heart and mind. The recollection of her ladylike deportment and untiring industry is not lost to us and we shall ever strive to imitate the noble example she has left us. [Memorial poem follows.]
