This post was contributed to the Crawford County Chapter of OGS by Kristina Stearley as part of the Florence Siefert Scrapbook in 2010.
The scrapbook is compiled from undated, unidentified newspaper clippings involving events in the lives of Crawford County citizens living in or having connections to New Washington, Tiro, Shelby, Sulphur Springs, Chatfield, Bucyrus, Ashland, Mansfield, and other areas. Only minimal spelling or punctuation corrections were made. Unreadable areas are shown by underlines, dots &/or question marks. This collection has been scanned, “optical character recognized” (OCR’d), proofed, then coded for HTML by volunteers of the Crawford County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. Since the copies are not of the best quality errors may have been made. Please contact us if you find corrections needing to be made or can verify any missing dates which could be added.
DIED–Sept. 4th 1888 in Venice township Seneca county Ohio, at the home of Andrew Smith, Ernest G. son of Anson Pugh aged 9 yrs. 10 mo. The subject of this notice was left an orphan by the death of his mother, when but 18 months old. He and his sister, older than himself, were taken into the family of said A. Smith where they remained until parted by death. He was loved by all who knew him. The love and affection by which he was endeared to his foster parents can only be realized by those who have lost loved ones. As a token of esteem his grave was covered with flowers by the hands of children and Sabbath school scholars present. He was a great but very patient sufferer in life, but is for ever at rest. Funeral services by the writer. Text 1st Cor. 15-25:26.
