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.
The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Guthrie and was born at Pavonia, Ohio, Nov. 25, 1864, died at Shelby Oct. 21, 1894 in her 30th year. She came to New Washington with her parents in November, 1874, and lived at this place until her marriage to G. S. Sheibley, June 15, 1893, at which time she moved to Shelby. The deceased had many warm friends at this place who were sorrow stricken to hear of her death. Her husband had just completed the erection of a new house and had it comfortably furnished, but her failing health unabled her to move into it, and death removed her last hope or ever occupying her new earthly home by opening the gateway to an House not made with hands–her eternal home. The funeral services were held at Shelby last Tuesday, a large number of this place being in attendance.
