Below are clippings from several scrapbooks we have at the Linesville Historical Society. Please enjoy them, and I hope you are able to make a connection! MILLER - In Linesville, June 14th, 1880, Alvin Miller, aged 54 years, 9 months and 12 days. MILLER - In Linesville Feb. 27th, 1881, Mrs. Alta M., wife of S.A. Miller, in the 36th year of her age. CONOVER - In Linesville, Jan. 26th, '78, of diphtheria, Mrs. Rachiel, wife of Mr. E. Conover, aged about 39 years. SEELEY - In Linesville, Jan. 26, 1878, of consumption, Delia, daughter of Mr. E. and Emily Seeley, about 17 years of age. MOON - In Linesville, Jan. 25, '78, Lewis G., son of O. Moon, of typhoid fever, aged 20 years and 6 months. HUGHES - In Linesville, on Saturday, the 27th ult, of consumption, Mrs. E.C. Hughes, aged 26 years, 8 months and 6 days. Mrs. Hughes was predisposed to consumption, and all efforts to save her life proved unavailing. She was cut down like a rose in full bloom. Her sun is set while it was yet day, yet there is one consolation to her bereaved relatives, she lived her short life well. It is our sad task to record the death of the foreman of this office, Mr. W.E. Johnson, who was killed by falling from the cars through a tressel, two miles north of this place, on Tuesday evening about nine o'clock. Johnson in company with two others boys were out north of town on the night of the accident and were returning about the time the nine o'clock freights came in from the north. Like many other boys they though it would be a nice thing to jump on the train and get a ride to the depot. One of the boys caught hold the guards and landed safely off the platform, but Johnson (alas his cruel fate) caught the guards only to be carried a few feet and then be hurled down over the tressel-work, fracturing his skull and injuring him internally, so that death resulted in about seven and one-half hours. Mr. Johnson has been in this office about four months, was a young man of good habits and strict integrity. His parents live in Ashtabula county, Ohio. His age was 19 years. How appropriate in this connection are these lines: "The mower strides apace, Nor crops alone the ripened ear. And we may miss the merriest face Among us - 'gainst another year. Who e're survives, be kind and true As he has been, And think of him when laid Beneath the green." (Linesville Leader) We were somewhat acquainted with Mr. Johnson, and ever found him an honest upright young man. While at Linesville he made many warm friends and will be sadly missed by the people. Mr. Johnson was a graduate of the Conneaut Reporter, of Conneaut, O., where his people now live. This sad calamity should be a warning to people not to undertake to board a railroad train already under headway. GAUGH - In Linesville, on the 8th inst., of consumption, after a lingering illness, Manie A., daughter of J.G. and L.C. Gaugh, aged 17 years, and 5 months. Master Eddy Thompson, who was living in Erie, but formerly lived in this place, met his death last week by drowning. As near as we can learn he went fishing, but did not return. No searching was done and nothing was known of his whereabouts until he was brought to the surface by the wheels of a steamer. When found his hands were full of sea weeds. PARSHALL - in North Shenango, June 6th, 1880, of tumor in the stomach, Mrs. Marshall Parshall, aged about 50 years.
