I believe that my ggg grandfather, Captain Shubael Swain, of NYC, may have spent his last years with his son, Valentine Swaine in Cincinatti. There seems to be a memorial stone for he and his wife in the Woodland Cem., and also a small stone with and S S, on it. The cemetery opened a few years after his death in 1849. I am trying to find an obituary for him. He died Sept 20, 1849. The library up there does not have newspaper access foe that year. Can anyone help or make a suggestion for finding his obituary- I have been hunting for ages, and this recent find of the cemetery was quite a good piece of providential help. Thanks, Sue Maxwell

CHARLES SIPLES Is Instantly Killed Thursday Morning, While Loading Logs on a Wagon, Near Waldo. Thursday morning, December seventh, Charles Siples, a popular young man of Prospect was instantly killed by a log he was assisting to load on a wagon, falling on his body. The deceased, who for several years had been in the employ of Sammie Gast, in company with Fred Wells, Charley Roberts, Will Jones, James Money, Geo. McPherson and D. S. Grube, who had bought several large logs on the farm of John Grigsby about one and one half miles east of Waldo, were engaged in loading the timbers on wagons for transportation to Mr. Grube's mill at Prospect. The log that caused the tragedy was a large one and two teams were engaged in loading it. Charley was on the opposite side at the rear of the wagon for the purpose of blocking the log when it was placed. As the log came onto the wagon, the horses, it is said, gave a lurch, and could not be stopped in time, and log and wagon were overturned, a large knot on the log catching Siples on the side, he falling lengthwise of the timber, crushing out his life in an instant. As the log made one more turn, it arose on the knot and cleared the rest of the victim's body and face, mercifully saving the poor boy from being crushed into a shapeless mass. His horrified companions hastened to his side, but he gasped once or twice and all was over. Mr. Grube hurried to Waldo and summoned Dr. Osborn, but when he arrived he saw at a glance he could be of no assistance. Coroner Brady was informed of the affair and ordered the remains brought to Prospect, which was done by Sammie Gast who had been summoned immediately after the accident. After the remains were taken to the home of Mr. Gast, Coroner Brady took the verbal testimony fo the witnesses but held no inquest as he deemed it not necessary to do so. Charles Siples was thirty-two years old and had lived in Prospect and vicinity all his life. Good natured, honest, and always willing to do his duty and assist others if it lay in his power to do so he was invaluable to his employers and made friends of all with whom he came in contact. A father, Samuel Suples of Prospect, and two sisters and two brothers---Mrs. Al. W. Smith of No. 645 east Farming street, Marion; Miss Libbie Siples of Prospect and William and Frank Siples of Richwood are left to mourn the tragic fate. The funeral conducted by Rev. Hurrelbrink was held at the residence of S. H. Gast, Friday afternoon, the remains being intered in Prospect Cemetery. Locals Beavers Banner Horse Sale---40 Iowa Horses--at Prospect Saturday Dec. 26.

Sabados, Veteran Article Text: Veteran at 100 Recalls 5 Wars. Going into his 101st year, Arpad Sabados is looking back upon a century of romance and adventure. Born into Hungarian aristocracy, Cabados was being trained for a military career at the time the 1849 revolutions were undermining European thrones. At 20, he was a captain, and at 22 he joined the service of Louis Napoleon in Piedmont. Fighting in Rome and Egypt prepared him for a job of training Union soldiers during the Civil War in the United States, where he had drifted. Peace terminating his work, Sabados moved on to Mexico, there to cast his lot with Maximilian. When tragedy ended this historic attempt to implant European monarchy on American soil, the adventure-seeking Hungarian turned back to the Balkans. This time he fought with the Russians, and participated in their triumph in the Russo- Turk War in 1877. Returning to America Sabados abandoned soldering for peaceful pursuits. A dairy led to the packing business and fortune, in Chicago. The economic depression cost him his wealth, however, but left him with "enough to live on well." The aged adventurer now lives with his daughter, Mrs. John Bakos, in Tiffin. At 100, Sabados displays the vigor of a man 35 years his junior. He boasts that he never has had a serious illness nor a cold. "Why am I as youthful as I am?" Sabados asks. "Because I never overworked. I always have had plenty to eat and drink." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

ABOUT PROSPECT Interesting Items of Old Times in and Around the Village and Vicinity Sometimes in early political days your place went Democratic, and on other occasions a mixed affair as at the recent State County and Municipal election. Your part of Marion county was as I have indicated in former articles, the southern part of the Black Swamp, the northern section of which such horrid stories were told about the loss of human and animal life, as well as stages being sunk and money lost in bags in the depths of the murky waters. I know how happy our old time sheriffs were when counties north of us were organized after Delaware county was cut loose from Franklin county in 1808. One of our old sheriffs William Mansur often had occasion to undertake the pursuit of misdemeanors, with a writ of arrest in his pocket, on horseback his saddle-bags under him, several rations and a boiled shirt in it well knowing that it would probably be days, weeks, perhaps before he would return and when he did oftener without his prisoner than with him--said when Delaware county got some other county to take the main part of the Black Swamp section off its hands it prolonged his life by several years. To-day since it was drained, it is the most fertile and beautiful section in Ohio, and your people feel glad to think you are part and parcel of this glorious heritage of rich soil and as you have proved it you know and appreciate its great value and are proud to say we are part of what was once the south end of the undesirable Black Swamp. Quite a while ago some of your citizens engaged in the business of importing a good article of horses both for stock purposed and for sale. Finding this profitable like any one should when he finds a good thing stick to it, so some of your people or their descendents are sticking to it all right. It was not far remote from your locality that N. E. and G. W. Money first introduced Spanish Mereno sheep and Short Horn cattle into Delaware county and not to be out done by the Moneys the Welches and Hoovers also engaged in raising fine wool sheep, that section owing to much of it being a portion of the Sandusky Plains was fully adapted to such purposes. This is the last letter to the MONITOR much as I regret it, I will not be able to write as the doctors say I must cease writing, thinking and reading so much. I am doing to much for one of my age, nearly seventy-eight, so good bye and good luck to the Monitor, D. W. C. L. Hecker-Place Mr. Harry Hecker of Prospect, and Miss hattie Place, of Waldo, were united in marriage last Thursday forenoon at Waldo. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Copenhave at the Reformed parsonage. The couple left on short wedding tour, after which the will make their home in Prospect. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
