VANZANT The friends and acquaintances of MRS. J. R. VANZANT in this city will be pained to hear of her death, which sad event took place Suday morning at her home in Zanesville, Ohio, of cancer in the breast. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. George Johnson of Allegheny City and was about 43 years of age. In 1857 she was married to J. R. Vanzant who for a number of years was in the employ of his brother-in-law, the late George Scott, of this city. She was the mother of five children, four of whom with the husband, survive her. Her remains will be brought here for interment in the Union Cemetery. The funeral took place Monday evening from the Panhandle depot, on the arrival of No. 1 (She died May 11, 1879) --Stuebenville Weekly Gazette, Friday, May 16, 1879 This could be a gold mine for you, if it fits but it seems like the dates don't work for Dr. Thomas to be 68, George still at home (not i Allegheny City) and the daughter 43 years old. Well you can sort it out. Let me know if it works, Janice
