Death from a Snake Bite Sunday evening last Beeson, aged about 14 years, the eldest son of Mr. Jonas Glotfelty, residing on Deep Creek, about 9 miles from Oakland, was bitten by a rattlesnake, under the following circumstances: He had bee out caring for some cattle, and whilst on his way home stopped to gather and eat some blackberries, when he was struck on the inside of the writs. He did not see or hear the snake, but felt that he had been bitten by a rattlesnake, and ran home, thereby heating his blood and aiding the spread of the poison throughout the system. Dr. Glotfelty, of Accident, was called, who, upon an examination of the arm, said that the boy must die. The arm swelled to such an extent as to burst, and the boy died about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, after suffering untold agony. The Republican - Aug 15, 1885 (Calculated date of death Aug 9, 1885) Glotfelty- On Saturday evening, May 20th, at her home, after a short illness of diphtheria, Delia, aged six years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thaddeus Glotfelty, of near McHenry, this county. Her funeral took place on Monday. Within the past week, eight of the members of Mr. Glotfelty's family have been stricken with diphtheria in its most virulent form, including his wife. Mr. Glotfelty being the only member escaping its ravages. The attending physician, Dr. Mahlon Hinebaugh, has hopes of saving the lives of those still ill. The Republican - May 25, 1899 Miss Lucy A. Broadwater, daughter of the late Josephus Broadwater, was born Aug. 25, 1867, and died Dec. 19, 1889, of typhoid fever, in her 21st year. She was of a sweet and loving spirit, and although not a member of any church, yet being reared by Christian parents, she was strictly moral, and greatly beloved by all who knew her. As soon as she was taken down upon the bed of affliction she commenced seeking a preparation of heart for that solemn change which she felt would soon take place. It was not long until she professed faith in Christ and rejoiced in the prospect of meeting her brother, who had passed over about one year ago, and her father, who had preceded her about 19 days. A short time before she passed away, while her mother was weeping by her side and saying to her that she could not give her up, she said, "Oh, mother, it will not be long until you come also," and then she said, "Listen! I hear papa singing." Her mother said to here" what is he singing?" and she said, "listen a moment and I will tell you." After listening a short time she said: "Oh! he is singing "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow." It seemed that she had got so near the other shore that she caught the strains of the music of the heavenly world, and soon she joined her voice with those gone before in singing the songs of redeeming love. May the bereaved family take comfort in the hope of after a while meeting their loved ones. "Far from a world of grief and sin Forever with the Lord shut in." H. E.
