Jackson Griffith

Jackson Griffith

OBITUARY:
Death, the grim monster that is dreaded by all, was again in our midst and once more the funeral took up its solemn march to the white-sheeted nation of the dead, the grave and the silent tomb. Death is always doing his deadly work by robbing us of the sweetest ties of nature which bound us with love and affection. But ties in this world must be severed. Christ the Redeemer of mankind, snapped the jaws of death and delivered us from the grave to the city of Jerusalem, to be with those who have left us. Oh death, where is thy sting! Oh, grave, where is thy victory! The sting of death is sin, but thanks be to God Who giveth us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Jackson Griffith was born in Center township, Monroe county, O., August 13, 1818 and spent all his life on the farm adjoining his birthplace.

He died February 14, 1908 [Monroe Co., OH], being at the time of his departure, 89 years, 6 months and 1 day of age. He was the son of William and Mary Griffith and the youngest of ten children. All the other members of the family preceded him to the better world years ago, except one sister, who died Nov. 15, 1907.

He was first married to Mary K. Mobley, April 16, 1844. One child, Mary, was born to this union, who died in her youth.

He married his second wife, Elizabeth Foreman, April 1, 1847. To this union were born two children, Margaret A. and Nancy J., both of whom died in their youth.

On January 9, 1851, at Antioch, he married his third wife, Mary Brownfield. To this union was born one daughter, Hannah S. Griffith, who survives him. His third wife died March 24, 1882.

His fourth and last wife was Mrs. Sarah A. Trigg, whom he married May 13, 1884, whom still survives him.

He was converted in 1853 and united with the Baptist church, which was his choice, in a country schoolhouse near Cranenest creek, being a member of that church for fifty-five years. He was a deacon of the church for the past thirty-five years. He informed the writer that he struck the first blow with his ax toward building the first Baptist church at Neuhart Ridge. He was always faithful to the church, showing a good, Christian character and living a life admired by all who knew him.

He leaves to mourn his departure a loving companion, one daughter, Mrs. Hannah S. Griffith, one step-son, Geo. E. Trigg, three grandchildren, one step-grandson, four great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.

On Sunday, February 16, short services were held at his home after which his remains were followed to the Neuhart Baptist church by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, where the funeral services were held by Rev. W. E. Fletcher, of Jackson ridge, after which his remains were laid to rest in the beautiful Neuhart cemetery to await the resurrection of the just.

There is no death; the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore.
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forever more.

There is no death; an angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread.
He bears our best loved ones away
And then we call them dead.

And ever near us though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is life; there is no dead.

To this union were born 7 children, 3 of whom, Clifford and Thomas of the home and Mrs. George Pryor of Bellaire, Ohio, preceded her to the grave several years ago.  She leaves to mourn her departure, two sons, David of Cleveland, Ohio and John of Cambridge, Idaho, and two daughters, Mrs. Cecilia Jones and Mrs. Sarah Keller, both of Cameron, Ohio, also twenty-four grandchildren and twenty-eight great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.

She obeyed the gospel at the age of twenty-one, thereby becoming a member of the Church of Christ, of which she was ever a constant and devout worker, ever-faithful to Him that doeth all things well.

She was always found at her post of duty as long as health would permit, her mind being active and alert until her last illness.

She was ever ready to minister to the sick and distressed, and her presence will be sadly missed in the little village in which she lived, where she was addressed by almost everyone with the enduring term of "Grandma" Henthorn.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. Wayne Harkins of Woodsfield, [OH] on Friday, April 16, and interment was made in the Old Cemetery by the side of her husband, there to await the resurrection morn when they that are in their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of god and come forth.

CENSUS: 1880, in Barton Co,, KS, Great Bend

OCCUPATION: Farmer

OBITUARY: Was Nearly 97 Years Old - Franklin Baldwin Who Died Tuesday Was Born in Ohio in 1819
Franklin Baldwin, the oldest citizen in Wellsville, [Franklin Co., KS] and a resident of the town since 1882, died at his home at 2:15 Tuesday morning, [4 Jan 1916] following a general breaking down.  Mr. Baldwin had been in fairly good health until two weeks ago, and during the past summer and fall had been able to do quite a little work about his home.  Until two weeks ago he had been able to shave himself regularly.

He was born in Clarington, Ohio, February 9, 1819.  He moved to Macon county, Missouri, after the way, and later to Shelby county, where he made his home on a farm.  In the early seventies he went to Great Bend, Kans. where he bought railroad land and attempted to farm.  The drou[g]th discouraged him and he returned to Missouri, locating at Pleasant Hill. In 1882 he move to Wellsville, [KS].

Mr. Baldwin was married to Mary Jane Newhouse, in October 1843.  Mrs. Baldwin died in Wellsville July 6, 1885.  In 1897 he was married to Martha Jane Ryan whose death occurred in November 1914.  For a number of months before his death he had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Carrie Inman, who came here to care for her father.

The deceased had a wagon maker's shop on the east side of Main street for many years, until age compelled him to retire from business.  He took an active interest in political matters and in all his life missed but one chance to vote at a presidential election, that of four years ago, when his physical abilities had failed him so that it was inconvenient for him to get about.

He had been a member of the Baptist church for a long time, in Missouri and in Wellsville, and until quite recently was a regular attendant at church services.

Nine children survive: Mrs. Carrie Inman, of Wellsville; Levi M. Baldwin, Spokane, Wash.; Mrs. Emma Jane Voorhees, Port Orchard, Wash.; Mrs. Alice Brumback, Macon, Mo.; Mrs. Clara Gray, Winfield, Kans.; Mrs. Adelaide Rhodes, Wellsville; W. C. Baldwin, Monte Vallo, Mo.; Albert Baldwin, Clarinda, Ia., and Mrs. Dora Baker, Portland, Ore.

Emily Catherine (Nalley) Haney

Emily Catherine Nalley

PARENTS: James Levi Nalley and Louisa Baker

OBITUARY:
Mrs. Wm. F. Haney, age 88, wife of William F. Haney, died at her home, 201 S. Paul Street, [Woodsfield, OH] Sunday morning [Nov 1952] at five o'clock, following a lengthy illness.

Mrs. Haney was born in Wayne Township, [1864] one of the six children of Levi and Louisa Baker Nalley.

Mrs. Haney was a life-long resident of Woodsfield. She was a member of the Methodist Church and the Goddard Bible Class.

Surviving are her husband, William F. Haney; one daughter, Mrs. Fred (Mary H.) Stover of Hollywood, California; four sons, Dr. J. A. Haney, of Hopemont, W. Va,; Dr. F. C. Haney, of Waynesburg, Pa.; and Leland Haney of the home; and three grandchildren; Mrs. Wm. Basso, of Warren; Charles William Haney, of Columbus, and James Haney, Jr., of London, England; also a large number of nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death were two brothers, Sylvester and John Nalley and three sisters, Mrs. Melissa Smith, Mrs. Virginia Fisher and Mrs. Mary Ellen Turner.

Funeral services were held at the Bauer and Turner funeral home Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, with Rev. Charles D. Reed officiating. Interment was in Oaklawn cemetery.

Wife, mother, neighbor, friend—these four meaningful words describe accurately the life and interest of Mrs. Haney. Whatever of activity, effort or even sacrifice was required of her or suggested to her, for the welfare or comfort of those near to her or even the passing stranger, she gave and served as only a good mother and neighbor can and does.

Not only many of our present residents, but many of those who formerly resided here remember her most kindly and mourn her passing to that Home not made with hands.
