In all his dealings with buyers and sellers Mr. Beavers has at all times been upright and above board in every instance carrying his agreements and contracts out to the letter, and by so doing has gained the confidence and esteem of all interested in the horse business placing him among the prominent horsemen of the state. His business is one of the leading industries of Prospect bringing many dollars to the town which otherwise would go to other and perhaps less deserving markets. Mr. Beavers contemplates another sale at Prospect in the near future due notice of which will be given. In the meantime if you wish to buy or sell good horses see or address him at Prospect.

In 1845 he entered the bank as teller, in 1855 he was elected cashier and remained in the bank in that capacity until 1883, when he became president. Altho he has reached the age of 83 years, Mr. Moose never misses a day at the bank and show the same activity as other employes several decades younger than himself. PROSPECT HORSE INDUSTRY The people of Prospect always know when H. D. Beavers has a horse sale and are interested in them, but very few realize the extent of Mr. Beavers business in this vicinity during the year. From September 23, 1904 to September 23, 1904 he has shipped 665 horses to New York and has sold 340 Iowa horses besides a large number of cattle. The year 1905 with Mr. Beavers starts out with two very busy weeks he has sold and shipped in that time 117 animals and will ship another car load from Perrysville Saturday October 25. In all his dealings with buyers and sellers Mr. Beavers has at all times been upright and above board in every instance carrying his agreements and contracts out to the letter, and by so doing has gained the confidence and esteem of all interested in the horse business placing him among the prominent horsemen of the state. His business is one of the leading industries of Prospect bringing many dollars to the town which otherwise would go to other and perhaps less deserving markets. Mr. Beavers contemplates another sale at Prospect in the near future due notice of which will be given. In the meantime if you wish to buy or sell good horses see or address him at Prospect.

Jones annual stock sale held at Delaware last week was not up to the expectancy of its promotor, although 93 animals were sold for the sum of $5245.

Patten late of Marion county, now a resident of what was formerly historic Tammany street now University avenue, in Delaware was unable to secure the mayorality nomination at the hands of the republicans, on September 19 1905. Too bad. He was as good a man as any before the convention, besides, having been a soldier. Rev. J. J. Halliday, a Delaware boy, now a Minister of the M. E. persuasion in your city, I see has been recaptured at the recent session of the Central Ohio M. E. Conference, by your people for another year. Young Halliday is deserving of this for he has done good work in your vicinity. On his mother's side he belongs to some of Delaware's oldest and best residents. His great grand-father, Wilder Joy, an old-time Methodist was among the early class leaders in that church, a good citizen and a good farmer. He was one of the fathers of what is now the famed Ohio Wesleyan University founded in Sept. 1843, under such inauspicious circumstances. His grand-father, Hon. Thos. F. Joy, an early graduate, was ever an honest, able, esteemed gentleman, always ready with tongue, pen or money to advance Delaware's best interests. Hon. Charles Swietser the first local Congressman Delaware County ever had was always a warm friend of your place when it was yet the village of Middletown and used his best endeavors to get your leading old-time moneyed men interested in the project of building a ship canal down the Scioto to the Franklin county line, and then have Columbus people meet it by extending the arm of the canal there about 12 miles northward; his meritorious ideas met with but little response from your people, they regarding it, seemingly, as very visionary.

The writer enjoyed a number in the 50's in which the general display was immense, and the crowds in attendance felt it good to be there and see the sights. Our city was quite well represented last week at Marion. I wonder what relationship J. A. Knapp, the president of the association sustains to Russel Knapp, the founder of the Marion Mirror or to his brother John R. Knapp Jr. under whom the writer received his first instructions in type sticking, commencing on June 1 1848. Is he a grandson of Russel? I remember at the time of his death he left two little boys, who lived with their grand-father, John R. Knapp Sr. Russel and John R. Jr. were both able writers and strong Democrats. John R. Knapp Sr. was Post Master at Marion during the administration of James Knox Polk 1845-1849. John R. Jr. during the session of the Ohio Legislature in the winter of 1848-9! , when there was an equal division between the Democrats and Whigs and a couple of Free Soilers held the balance of power was elected Chief Clerk of the Senate on the 118th ballot.

WATKINS Prominent Prospect Citizen And Well Known Horseman Dies Monday at Marion from Blood Poison. The many friends and acquaintances of Robert U. Watkins were greatly shocked and pained Monday, when the news of his death at the home of his brother Thomas P. Watkins in Marion, became known. Thursday, September seventh while at the State Fair Mr. Watkins picked up a stick from the ground and used it for a cane until he found that the end of the stick being rough made a slight abrasion in the palm of his hand. Returning home nothing was though of the matter until his hand became swollen and painful and the abrasion developed into a running sore. Soon after this was realized, Mr. Watkins went to Marion for treatment but in spite of the best medical skill, blood poison set in and at six o'clock Monday morning, October 2, 1905, he passed away at the age of 65 years, 10 months and 11 days, leaving to mourn his demise, two brothers Thomas P. Watkins of Marion and Watkin Watkins of Prospect, and two sisters, Mrs. J. B. Wyatt and Miss Sarah Watkins of Prospect, and innumerable relatives and friends. Robert U. Watkins was born in Prospect, October 22, 1839, and always made the village his home. He developed in early life a love of horses and his judgment of these animals was second to none other in this and many other parts of the county. For several years he, with others was engaged in importing, and at least a dozen or more trips were made by Mr. Watkins to the old country for fine animals which, he only, knew how to select. Normandy and other parts of Europe were as well known to him as the hills and fields of his native heath. But the life of Robert U. Watkins is too well known to our people, he needs no epitaqh, generous and candid he treated all men alike to the best of his ability, living the last few years a life of quietude, and retirement from the strenuous life he had in early years experienced. The funeral of Mr. Watkins, largely attended, was held at the residence of his sister Miss Sarah Watkins, Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, Revs. Gerlach and Halliday officiating, and the services and burial in Prospect cemetery, being under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, of which he was a valued and beloved member. Mr. Watkins was never married but always resided with and was a companion to his sister, Miss Sarah Watkins upon whom the sadness of his death falls most heavily, and the sympathy of the community is especially extended to her in her bereavement.

ABOUT PROSPECT Interesting Items of Old Times in and Around the Village and Vicinity The writer passed through your city on August 30 1905, via Hocking Valley Railway to Fostoria, themes to Tiffin by the electric road returning the same way on Friday, September 1st, and most wonderfully surprised at the Improvements made in various parts of it, since he had last seen it in June 1899. It is really and truly a most beautiful place, and although but few of the older settlers are still with you, the younger portion are built in a way that will never let the city go backward as they are endowed with an eye to business which is always open. May your present prosperity always remain and abide with the pretty little city so cosily nestled upon the banks of the historic Scioto river. Hearing nothing now about the Radnor Centennial, it is probable that it has been deferred indefinitely. Perhaps it is just as well for they are now several years behind time, which is something new for our Welsh friends to be, as in all things heretofore, their motto was Excelsior. W. B. Patten, a cousin of Mrs. Eliza Watkins of your city, who with her husband, occupies the site of the Patten homestead, antedating all the other homes of pioneer days in Middletown at this date a resident of Delaware, on Tammany street, of our antient days, now University avenue is spoken of as a probably candidate for Mayor on the Republican ticket. If we must have a republican mayor, I don't see where we can do any better. He was a good soldier in the 121st Regiment O. V. I. during the uncivil war of 1861-65, is competent and a perfect gentleman every way. I presume, as in former years, your section of Marion county, will be largely in it, during the week of the Marion County Agricultural Exhibition and carry off some of the premiums. It has been many years since the writer was in attendance at the Marion Fair, but what he did take in he considered first class. Were many of your people favored with a sight of the eclipse of the sun on August 30th? During the eclipse on the sun in August 1854, some of the young fellows from your village, then attending school in th Marion Academy, wrote some famous compositions, "All about the eclipse in our town." D. W. C. L. Current Events Jud Lewis will commence, next week, the erection of a new barn on the site of the one lately destroyed by fire. See P. H. Fackler, Richwood, O., for monuments.

ABOUT PROSPECT Interesting Items of Old Times in and Around the Village and Vicinity The writer passed through your city on August 30 1905, via Hocking Valley Railway to Fostoria, themes to Tiffin by the electric road returning the same way on Friday, September 1st, and most wonderfully surprised at the Improvements made in various parts of it, since he had last seen it in June 1899. It is really and truly a most beautiful place, and although but few of the older settlers are still with you, the younger portion are built in a way that will never let the city go backward as they are endowed with an eye to business which is always open. May your present prosperity always remain and abide with the pretty little city so cosily nestled upon the banks of the historic Scioto river. Hearing nothing now about the Radnor Centennial, it is probable that it has been deferred indefinitely. Perhaps it is just as well for they are now several years behind time, which is something new for our Welsh friends to be, as in all things heretofore, their motto was Excelsior. W. B. Patten, a cousin of Mrs. Eliza Watkins of your city, who with her husband, occupies the site of the Patten homestead, antedating all the other homes of pioneer days in Middletown at this date a resident of Delaware, on Tammany street, of our antient days, now University avenue is spoken of as a probably candidate for Mayor on the Republican ticket. If we must have a republican mayor, I don't see where we can do any better. He was a good soldier in the 121st Regiment O. V. I. during the uncivil war of 1861-65, is competent and a perfect gentleman every way. I presume, as in former years, your section of Marion county, will be largely in it, during the week of the Marion County Agricultural Exhibition and carry off some of the premiums. It has been many years since the writer was in attendance at the Marion Fair, but what he did take in he considered first class. Were many of your people favored with a sight of the eclipse of the sun on August 30th? During the eclipse on the sun in August 1854, some of the young fellows from your village, then attending school in th Marion Academy, wrote some famous compositions, "All about the eclipse in our town." D. W. C. L. Current Events Jud Lewis will commence, next week, the erection of a new barn on the site of the one lately destroyed by fire. See P. H. Fackler, Richwood, O., for monuments. Leon Cope, Earnest Cox and Paul Richmond returned Saturday from the Logan reservoir where they had been outing for ten days.j Bernard Moloney returned Monday to Columbus where he well resume his medical studies.

James Fookes, an old and respected citizen of that village, while crossing the Pennsylvania railroad track, was struck by east bound passenger train No. 20, due here at 2:40. He stepped upon the track immediately in front of the approaching train, heedless of the warning cries from several bystanders who saw his imminent danger, and before the engineer realized what had happened the body of the unfortunate old gentleman was hurled through the air a distance of forty feet, and was horribly mangled and torn. He was carried to his home near by, where he lived with his wife and son John, but died from his terrible injuries a few minutes after. He was 81 years old, and besides his wife and son at home, leaves an older son, Robert, who is in the employ of the Government office at Washington, D.C. The occurrence was regarded as purely accidental, and the blame can be attributed to no one but the old gentleman himself, as the engineer sounded the usual danger signals when quite a distance from the crossing. The fatal crossing at which the accident occurred, and many others as well, was to have been equipped Monday by the railroad company with an electric bell, but for some reason the work was delayed and will be commenced today, just one day too late, however, to save the old gentleman's life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

She brought the same spirit into her home and throughout her sickness, continued to appreciate the pleasures of life, which to her in her youth must have been full of visions of hope and beauty. In May when all nature is at her best, with Anna it was the beginning of a fall and in the heighth of summer, wintry death has claimed her. Although she had no church affiliation it is a comfort to believe she was reconciled to her condition, for in those hours that cry the soul, she was heard humming those beautiful hopefull words, " I am going home to die no more." Of Anna the words of the past seem pathetic as the answers the call of her Maker. Standing with reluctant feel When the brook and river meet Womanhood and childhood fleet. Deep and still that gliding stream Beautiful to thee did seem As a river of a dream. CLIFFORD FOOS Is Struck by Fast Passenger Train On Erie Rail Road at Centerville and Killed.

Obituary. Israel Hedges was born in Fairfield County, Ohio, March 27, 1821, died August 22, 1905. He was the son of Caleb and Mary Hedges. His father's family was large, there being 11 children, 7 boys and 4 girls of which 4 sons and 1 daughter still survive. The incidents of his life were as follows: In 1834 he gave his heart to God and joined the M. E. church. In 1848 he married Mary Barnett, to this union was born 11 children, 6 boys and 5 girls, 3 of which, 1 son and 2 daughters have preceded him to the great beyond, also 4 step children, 2 sons and 2 daughters.j He also leaves as descendants of their union 32 grand-children, and 1 great grand-daughter.j Mrs. Hedges died in November 1888 and in June 1890 Mr. Hedges was united in marriage for the 2nd time with Mrs. Minerva Hamner. Commending upon his life the writer is led to remark that it was an unusual one. This man was unusual in the very ruggedness of his life; strong in fidelity, strong in mental capacity; strong in religious tendencies; these characteristics coupled with a marvelous physique; presents to us a life decidedly out of the ordinary and worthy of our deepest reverence and respect; genial in temperment; sympathetic towards his fellows; he was, speaking sincerely, a real friend and his loss to the community cannot be estimated. His Christianity had the reverence of deeds and fidelity and because of these sterling qualities his influence will be measured throughout eternity. A constant christian through 70 years, a Sunday School teacher 65 years, liberal in the fullest sense. What a record this makes; As an inspiration to the young what an example; Never drank, never swore, temperate and kind, a man of power. While old in years, young in spirit, with ability to seperate the wheat from the chaff of our modern age and appropriating the same to be sweet and beneficial among his fellows. Judged temporally a thorough man, judged eternally a king. The funeral conducted by Rev. Halliday was held at the Prospect M. E. church, Thursday afternoon, August 24, 1905, with burial in beautifull Radnor cemetery. IN MEMORY OF ISRAEL HEDGES By His Sunday School Class.

When the article had been signed the husband begged for more money, but his wife tearfully informed him that she had given him her last dollar, and they would part as friends, each to go their own way. Mrs. Leonard returned to her home and Leonard went his way with the announcement that he would return to his boyhood home near Boston. Leonard and his wife have lived on the Alice Hughe's farm north of town for some time and are well known in this vicinity.

Article Text: Denton Journal from Indianapolis Letter News By Harrison H Howeth Denton Journal from Indianapolis Letter News September 17 1892 Location: Indianapolis, IN Source: Newspaper Archives Description: Care Given Homeless Lady by Former Slave ROBERT CHISON, age 85, once a slave on a Louisiana plantation and since the war a resident of Indianapolis, is now caring for the daughter of his old master, at his home here. She is an invalid and in poverty. Chison has served a term in the penitentiary and for four years has been under almost constant watchfulness of the police so it seems now he is atoning for all his sins by this act of charity. The woman he is caring for is Mrs SARAH J CLARK, whose father. before the war, was a planter in East Feliciana parish. While she was very young Mrs Clarks parents died and she became the ward of SQUIRE BOYD of Lancaster, Ohio. She married MILTON L CLARK, a captain in the Union Army who squandered her fourtune and then died of wounds received in battle. Since then Mrs Clark has led a wandering life and finally reached Indianapolis when the old slave took her in his charge when he learned she was an inmate at the county asylum. Mrs Clark has been faithful to her religion and it was! an unavoidable misfortune that caused her proverty and homelessness. She is an applicant for a Civil War pension but for some cause the claim has not yet been allowed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
