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.
MABEL WHITCUM – DEATH
DIED–Mabel, daughter of E. A. and Laura J. Whitcum, March 26, ’95 of pneumonia. She was born Oct. 11, 1894, and was a bright little bud of much promise and loved by a large circle of friends. Services at the M. E. church of New Washington, at which place she was interred and sermon by Rev. T. L. McConnell from Kings 2, 4:26, “Is it well with the child?” Her mission is filled. (We regret our inability to publish a poem by Miss Gertrude Pugh in connection with the above.)
