Ex County Auditor L. M. Hipsher, one of the party defendants in the injunction proceedings brought several months ago by Prosecutor John H. Clark to stop payment on a steel bookcase ordered by the county commissioners of B. F. Wade of Toledo, filed an amended answer and cross-petition Saturday through his attorneys, Crissinger & Guthery. Hipsher admits that B. F. Wade and the commissioners entered into a contract, May 13, 1905 for this purchase of a steel bookcase for $1,249, and asserts that Clark had full knowledge of the contract within a few days after it had been made, yet he permitted Wade to complete the contract, and the commissioners to accept the bookcase and to pay for it without a word of protest until after the voucher had been issued. If the bookcase was unnecessary now, Hipsher asserts that it was unnecessary at the time the contract was made. If the price was excessive, Hipsher states, Clark knew of the fact, and despite the fact that he was the legal adviser of the commissioners he permitted them to consummate the contract. If the controversary is not soon settled Marion County taxpayers will have more court costs to pay than the original bill for this case amounted to.

Being left an orphan in early youth, he endured hardships and made a brave struggle for an honorable livlihood. After spending a short time on the farm with an uncle in Iowa, he returned to Ohio and by hard work earned a sufficient amount of money to enable him to get an education. He went to Oberlin College and took a business course. Being thus equipped, he entered the service of the hocking Valley R. R. Company in 1881, and soon became a trusted employee of that corporation. He had charge of the station at Prospect for 24 years, and with painstaking care discharged every duty and responsibility of his office. No discredit mark was ever charged against Ray Gilmore during all those years of hard and honorable service. A record of devotion to duty and exact fulfilment of obligation, of which any man has reason to be proud. In 1878 he was united in holy wedlock with Mary Reese of Delaware Ohio who was to him a devoted and beloved wife, "the good angel," as he told me once, "that hover about his fireside." About a year ago the first serious signs of sickness -- anurism of the heart -- showed itself, and he was compelled to relinquish his work, absolute rest being enjoined upon him. It was during this period that the Lord laid his hand upon him mercifully and graciously, Being shut in to himself, he saw, more than ever before, the need of his own heart, which cried for the living God. Then began the struggle and triumph of faith -- that faith which rejoiced in the exultant exclamation: I know that my Redeemer liveth; and because He lived, I shall live also. On March 5, 1905, he made a public proffession of his faith and was baptized and received into the membership of the Reformed Church. We have many reasons to believe that to his end he steadfastly grew in grace and in the knowledge and love of God in Christ Jesus. he died November 8, 1905, aged 47 years, 10 months and 21 days, leaving besides his wife, one brother, Frank Gilmore of Columbus, Ohio and a sister, Mrs. Durban of Fredricktown, Ohio, and a large circle of friends who mourn his untimely departure. His earthly remains were laid away in the beautiful cemetery near Prospect, the funeral service being conducted by his pastor, Rev. C. M. Schaaf D. D., assisted by other ministers of the town. C. M. S. ON THE LINE C. W. Hedge has rented the Herbster farm south of town and will move in the Spring. Harry Gill and wife of Marion visited at the home of J. T. Lodwig, Sunday. Bernice Howison spent Saturday with her grand-parents. Joseph Graham is confined to the house and is in poor health. C. E.

This kindness was appreciated by the family. J. F. Kirk and family of Marion were guests of Mr. and Mrs W. F. Kirk this week. A Surprise Party Forty-five neighbors and friends came in as a complete surprise to W. G. Howison and wife Wednesday evening to show their respect to them as they will soon move. Supper was served and a good time was had by all. Delightfully Entertained Tuesday evening Dr. and Mrs. McNeill delightfully entertained the "Long Lake Club," of 1904, at a six o'clock dinner. At the appointed hour the guests were invited to the dining room where the table fairly groaned beneath its weight of a numerous variety of eatables. All present were able to do justice to the many good things with the exception of one member T. E. Drake, whose apetite seemingly had failed him entirely. The evening was pleasantly spent in a social way and a few fish storied rehearsad, of which the Dr. had the honor of wearing the belt. At a late hour all departed anxiously waiting for the fishing season to come again. Willauer---Camm At the parsonage Sunday evening Rev. Hurrelbrink united in marriage Mr. Frank Willauer and Miss Jessie Camm, popular young people of this vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Willauer will reside in Columbus where the groom is employed by the Hocking Valley as a carpenter. Monnette Wins A suit, which has been hanging fire in the Marion County courts for several years, has just been settled, John T. Monnette, once a welathy farmer, living north of Marion, receiving $4000 for a right of way which in 1903, he deeded to the Columbus, Shawnee and Hocking Valley Railway company for a consideration of $1. The railway company was to build a station with stockyards, sidings and telegraph office and name it Monnette, for the right of way The station was never built. Gast---Ray At Louisiana, Missouri Wednesday evening, November 8, Mr. Robert R. Gast, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Gast was united in Marriage to Miss Eula, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Ray of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Gast will reside at Louisiana where he is employed in the telephone business.

He died of apoplexy, and the mice had nibbled his fingers before he was found. He was about 84 years old, had at one time been a prominent merchant of Cincinnati, but for the last twenty-five or thirty years has lived almost like a hermit. His estate is estimated at $150,000. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

SMITH, prominent physician and former society favorite, charged with the first-degree murder of his first wife, Florence Cavileer SMITH, will be called Wednesday. It promises to rank with the RICHESON case and the HYDE sensation. The central point of dispute now is for an analysis of the organs of the dead woman by a neutral expert in the presence of representatives of both the state and the defense. Experts for the state show the presence of deadly cyanide. So far the defense has lost every skirmish, including the motion for a change of venue on the ground that the 70,000 people of Clark county are so prejudiced against the defendant that a fair trial is impossible. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the new judge, Francis M. HAGAN, to try the case at once. SMITH has paled under his imprisonment and has lost some flesh. The pitiful sight of his aged invalid mother visiting the jail to see her only son is witnessed frequently here. She is accompanied by SMITH's second wife, whom he married six months after the sudden and tragic death of his first. When Florence Cavileer SMITH died suddenly March 18, 1912, the community was shocked, for she was said to have been in excellent health. No suspicion was aroused until Dr. SMITH, October 1, married Miss Mabel MERCHANT at her former home in Newton, Mass. Miss MERCHANT for several years was a nurse in the local hospital, and she was called in many cases by Dr. SMITH. They were intimate friends before the first Mrs. SMITH died. October 16 the county officials ordered an examination into the cause of the death of Mrs. Florence Cavileer SMITH, and the body was exhumed. Dr. COONS, pathologist, reported that death was not caused by organic heart trouble, as stated by her husband, and also stated in the death certificate. A chemical analysis of the stomach is said to have revealed unmistakable traces of cyanide. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
