There must be something wrong with the dates. He can't have been born in 1815 if he died at abt age 50 in 1895. Also, did the paper come out about 6 days after he died? Around a Thursday? He was 5 days short of his 50th birthday when he died, but the paper came out after his birthday. ----- Original Message ----- From: <SCHcrochet@aol.com> To: <OHPICKAW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 8:47 AM Subject: surname: Kirkendall, Tipton, Fissel, Black, Renick > November 28, 1895, Circleville Union Herald > Death of Dr. J.
