"Death of Emil F. Matheus. Amid the ringing of the bells and the gathering of our people in the churches to-day, to return their grateful thanks for the many blessings of the past year there is one househould (sic) that makes its way sadly to the house of God, to look for the last time upon the manly face of its first born. His young years were full of promise, and our warmest sympathy goes out to the stricken father, who loved him almost to idolatry. Emil F. Matheus, who died last Monday, of consuption, at the early age of twenty years, was well known to most of our citizens, as he was born and reared in Lawrenceburgh. At the age of sixteen, he was sent to the Polytechnic Institute, at Karlsruhe, Germany, where his studies were completed. On his return he was employed with his father, Mr. P. L. Matheus, in the Lawrenceburgh National Bank. After the sale of that institution, he was employed as the book keeper for Mesrs. J. Rief & Bro., where he remained until attacked by the disease of which he died. He was a young man of rare intelligence, excellent principles, and good habits, and his early death carries grief beyond his own family into a large circle of appreciative friends. The funeral was held this afternoon, and the remains were interred in Greendale Cemetery---the Lawrenceburgh Liedertafel, of which the deceased was a member, and the various societies with which his father was connected, joining in the services, to exhibit their high regard for the deceased, and their deep sympathy for the stricken father and his family."

Gibbins was born in this Township August 22d,1841, died November 18, 1888, aged 47 years, 3 months, and 26 days, was born on the same farm and but a short distance from where he died. Mr. Gibbins was a prosperous farmer, and leaves his family very comfortably situated; was a quiet man, an upright citizen, a man of moral and industrious habits, a good neighbor nad a kind friend. We don't think he had an enemy. Mr. Gibbins' disease was congestion of the lungs and pleurisy, with which he suffered greatly until death came to his relief. On Sunday morning at 10 minutes passed 9 o'clock he passed away to the unknown land. He was confined to his bed but one day. He was unconscious about four hours before he died. His wife seeing that the end was near, asked him if her knew her; he spoke not but slept away, unconscious of the grief-stricken family and sorrowing friends and neighbors that stood by ! his bedsind willing to ease his suffering if possible. On September 15, 1868, George F. Gibbins was united in marrage to Miss Amanda Gullett, who survived him. To them was born an only daughter, who with her mother mourns their loss. May they be comforted with the thoughts that he is not dead, but sleepeth, not lost but gone before. The sorrowing family have the sympathy of the whole community. Mr. Gibbons said during his sickness that he was not afraid to die; his trust was in God, therefor his faith was well founded. Mr. Gibbins was a member of Mt. Tabor M.E. Church, to which he was a willing and liberal contributer. Funeral services by Bro. Miller, of the Dillsboro circut, at Mt. Tabor Church at two o'clock, after which the remains were deposited in the vault there to await final interment. May the blessing of God on those that mourn to comfort and support them in this their affliction. The pall bearers, mostly Mr. Gibbions' old schoolmates were S.D. Cole, Dr. Lee Greer, Rufus, S. Abbott, G.W. Sawdon, John Hisey and Clarence Tufts
