In
Memoriam
Mrs. G. H. Rabourn of
Lawton passed away at her home at Lawton last Tuesday evening after an illness
of some duration, at the age of 66 years. She had been ill for some time but
with a nerve so strong and faith of the divine, she held her own so well that it
was hoped for some time that she be as she was once, but that He had seen fit to
call her home to her reward.
She leaves a family of
five children, George W., and E. L. of this city; C. A. (Red) of Lawton; Mrs.
Ballard Martin of Pawhuska, Oklahoma., and Miss Elizabeth, who is at home;
besides a loving husband, she leaves three brothers, G. W. Stamper of Vanceburg,
A. J. Stamper of this city and Marion Stamper of the Head of Grassy; five
sisters, Mrs. Martha Owens of Smoky Valley; Mrs. Parthens [sic., Parthenia]
Wilson, Manchester, Ohio; Mrs. L. N. Rabourn, Head of Grassy; Mrs. Faralene
Kidwell, Mouth of Laurel; Mrs. Elizabeth McCleese of Laurel, Lewis County;
besides a host of relatives and friends and other relatives to mourn the loss.
It was quite a sight to be present and view the crowd at the funeral and witness
the people who were gathered there to pay the last tribute to one of their
people. The Stamper blood could be seen from many faces present, as well as the
relative strength on the Rabourn side.
She was a
woman dearly beloved by all who knew her, her home was a place where her
neighbors often gathered to enjoy a conversation because she was entertaining as
well as instructive in her conversation; her life was a path strewn with flowers
and sunshine, not sorrow; her home instincts were strong; her affections for
friends and kindred was tender and abiding.
The
funeral was conducted at the beautiful home where she has been a wonderful
helper throughout these many years on the hilltop overlooking the place of
business at Lawton, Friday at 11:00 a. m. Thursday morning with a few short and
brief remarks by Rev. Sid Jones, after which the remains were laid to rest in
the cemetery near the home. The funeral was in charge of local undertaker
Clarence W. Henderson and was well managed. The floral tributes were as fine as
seen anywhere, and we venture to say they were so nice that remarks could be
heard from along the line that they were as nice as seen anywhere. It was a most
lovely sight to behold the lovely flowers that encircled the casket as it lay in
the home.

George Reeg
Loses Life in Scioto On First Night of Work
Within a
few hours after he had accepted a position last night as watchman, of the huge
engine the N. & W. is using to put down piling at the Vera bridge just north
of the city, George Reed, 1616 Grandview avenue fell off the barge on which the
engine was moored and was drowned in the Scioto river. So crystal-like are the
waters of the Scioto because of it’s extreme shallowness near the Eastern Bridge
that Reeg’s lifeless and unscarred body was found shortly after the men engaged
in doing the piling reported for work this
morning.
Mr. Reeg’s coat and hat had been
deposited on a board running across the west end of the barge, which was
anchored near the pier that is being rebuilt and when the workmen arrived this
morning they felt certain that Reeg had been drowned. A raft was hurriedly
thrown together out of heavy timbers that were available and a search was begun
for the missing man which was quickly ended by the find of Reeg’s
corpse.
Could See Body In Clear Water.
The
body was found swirling around in the water and within 20 feet of the spot where
Mr. Reeg went down. His head was perhaps four feet from the surface of the water
and his feet were within a foot of it. By the aid of a long pole to which had
been attached an improvised hook make of a rod of iron Mr. Reeg’s body was towed
to the barge and held there until Coroner Robe could be
notified.
When workmen attempted to figure out a
plausible theory as to how Reeg fell into the Scioto river they found his finger
prints on the lower side of the barge. They were plainly visible and were
grease-stained as Reeg was in charge of the big engine and was compelled to use
oil. The finger prints showed clearly that the unfortunate man made a desperate
but unsuccessful effort to save himself after he had stumbled, and fell into the
river.
The theory was advanced that he was unable to
pull himself up being unable to swim and that he fell back from sheer exhaustion
and met death in the treacherous Scioto.
Verdict Was
"Accident."
The body was not removed from the
Scioto until Coroner Robe reviewed it and examined several witnesses. Convinced
that Reeg met death by accidental drowning Coroner Robe notified the dead man’s
relatives and returned to Portsmouth.
Just a short
time ago Reeg gave up a position at the N. & W. Terminals, which he held for
six years to take one on the west end of the Vera bridge, which is being
rebuilt. Tuesday he was asked if he would take the night job of keeping up the
fires under the boilers of the engine used to put down the piling and he
accepted it at once.
Fate played a cruel trick on
him as Reeg was drowned the first night at work. It is presumed that he went to
his death between the hours of 3 o’clock and 6:30 this morning. At 3 o’clock Bud
Yeager, operator in the Vera tower called to Reeg and he answered back that
everything was alright. That was the last word heard from Reeg. Three hours
later his lifeless body was hauled out of the
Scioto.
Clell Hiles of Duck Run, Rush Township, had
been in charge of the engine. He switched to the west end of the bridge Tuesday
and his position was taken by Reeg.
Mr. Reeg Was Fine
Citizen.
Mr. Reeg was 44 years old last October.
Besides his wife, Mrs. Ella Jeffords Reeg he leaves one son Burgess, aged 15 and
his aged parents, Nicholas and Catherine Reeg, who reside with their son. He
also leaves one brother, Louis Reeg of Stockdale. A few years ago the Reeg boys
and their father operated a steam laundry on Seventh street east of Chillicothe.
Mr. Reeg was a splendid citizen in every way and the news of his tragic death
will be learned with genuine regret. He left home at 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon
in his usual good spirits. He was a little enthusiastic about his new job as he
like to be around machinery, having a disposition that was compatible with
mechanism. He asked his wife to hurry the supper along despite the intense heat
as he was anxious to go to work. He left his home at 5:15 on what proved to be
his farewell trip. Mr. Reeg was strictly a home man and did not seek fraternal
honors. When not a work he was at home and was proud of his interesting family
and his pretty little cottage on Grandview avenue. Mr. Reeg was a brother-in-law
of Corney Jeffords.
Mr. Reeg was employed under
Foreman Orville Shively, who gave him a splendid recommendation as a steady and
reliable man. "That is why we wanted Mr. Reeg to take care of our engine" said
Mr. Shively to a Times man, who visited the scene of the drowning Wednesday
morning. "We knew he was faithful and would always be on the
job."
The funeral services will probably be held
Thursday, but no definite arrangements have been made. Mrs. Reeg has made a
request that friends refrain from sending flowers.

BEN ROE
DEAD
He Passes Away at His Home in Greenup This Morning
At 11:25
O’clock—He had been Ill with Typhoid Fever Fourteen Days—Prominent Lawyer and
Leading Citizen of Greenup County—Well and Favorably Known Here.
The
following special to the Times from Greenup conveys the sad intelligence of the
death of one of Greenup county’s brightest young lawyers and most progressive
citizens.
Greenup, Ky., Feb. 23, 1895
PORTSMOUTH, OHIO, Times—B.E. Roe
died at 11:25 this morning. H. C. D.
Mr. Roe’s
death was caused by typhoid fever complicated with kidney trouble. He was taken
ill just fourteen days ago, the disease assuming an acute form from the first,
and baffling the skill of the physicians. He rallied somewhat a day or two ago
and hopes were entertained that he would recover. The hope proved a vain one
however. Yesterday he suffered a relapse and sank steadily until this morning at
11:25 when death relieved him from his sufferings.
Mr. Roe was one of the very finest and most promising young men in Eastern
Kentucky and scores of friends at his native place and in surrounding counties,
mourn his untimely death. Bright, handsome and generous to a fault, he made
friends on all sides. Everybody had a good word to say for "Bud" Roe, as his
friends called him.
Ben E. Roe was the son of George
Elliott Roe, for many years a leading lawyer of Greenup, who died several years
ago. Ben was born in Greenup some thirty-five or thirty-six years ago. Read law,
was admitted a number of years ago, and has been practising law in Greenup ever
since. He was very successful and had built up a large practice. Since the
retirement of Hon.Thos. F. Paynter from the active pursuit of his profession,
Mr. Roe has easily stood at the head of the Greenup bar and was engaged on one
side or the other in most of the cases in court.
He
was a staunch Democrat politically, and the Times takes pride in the fact that
it ever counted "Bud" Roe as one of its most loyal friends. He was quite active
in politics and was in the fall of 1893 the candidate of his party for the state
senator in the district to which Greenup county belongs, but was defeated by a
small majority. At the time he was holding the office of county attorney for
Greenup county, an office corresponding to that of prosecuting attorney in Ohio.
He was a candidate for re-election, last fall, but went down with his ticket,
his successful competitor being W. J. A. Rarden.
Mr.
Roe was united in marriage Dec. 5, 1893, to Miss Agnes I. Barklow, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Stout Barklow of East Third street, this city, the ceremony being
performed at the home of Miss Barklow, by Rev. Dr. Tappan. But little more than
a year has passed and the friends of Mrs. Barklow (sic.) are called upon to
mourn with her, the loss of him who was a gallant lover and a faithful and
devoted husband.
