COSHOCTON -- A former county commissioner, Tuscarawas Township trustee and fire chief of the North Tuscarawas Volunteer Fire Department will be missed by many.
Thomas Mattioni, 83, died Monday following an extended illness at the West Lafayette Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. "I remember him from back when I was a kid," said Dick Tompkins, county auditor. "He was a friend of my dad and a friend of mine." Mattioni and Tompkins began serving the county in 1982 Mattioni as commissioner and Tompkins as auditor. "We campaigned together," Tompkins said. "We spent a lot of time at the same functions. Knowing him before made it real easy to work with him after we both got elected." Bill Hoop, who served on the commission with Mattioni for two years, remembered him as a fine fellow. "He was enjoyable to work with and we got a lot done at the same time. He was a Democrat and I was a Republican, but we worked for what was best for the county," Hoop said. During Mattioni's time as a commissioner, the bridge between West Lafayette and Newcomerstown was rebuilt, the county maintenance department was established and College Park (now Autumn Health Care of Coshocton) was leased to private entities, making it a paying venture. "We made some money for the county with that one," Hoop said of College Park. "It also improved the quality of care for the people in Coshocton." Jim Miskimens, chairman of the Coshocton County Democratic Executive and Central Committee, worked with Mattioni for several years, as Mattioni was the committee's treasurer. "He hadn't been active the past few years, but when he was able he attended all the Democrat functions," Miskimens said. "I'm sure the party and Coshocton County lost a real gentleman." Tompkins agreed. "He was just a great guy to know and work with. He really went out of his way to help people."

The Zanesville Signal, Zanesville, Ohio, Thursday, Oct 5, 1950
POLICE HAVE CLUE IN BRUTAL KILLING
James Omen Slain While Listening to Ball Game at Place on W Main.
"Let's bump the old man off with a billiard cue and take his money for a trim to Florida" Police were looking today for a recent Lash high school graduate who was quoted in that manner as suggesting the murder of James Omen, 66, proprieter of Plec's place, a poolroom at 826 West Main street. Omen was found burally slain yesterday afternoon in the poolroom, where he had been listening to a broadcast of the World Series baseball game. A cue stick and a slab of wood had been used to bash in the man's skull. His throat had also been pierced with a chisl and his neck was slit with a knife. Detective Captain Robert Snelling, who took the lead in rounding up a score of persons for questioning, said a search was under way for the youthful suspect who had proposed not once, but several times, to kill Omen. A frequent companion of the suspect told the store today of how he had been aksed, more than once, to help kill Omen for his money. It was considered more than a coincidence that the brutal slaying took place in much the same manner that the youth was said to have outlined. Omen's billfold containing about $100 in cash was missing. The many youths who frequented the poolroom knew that Omen always carried between $100 and $200. He often opened his billfold to load a couple of dollards to a hardpressed boy of his acquaintance. The killer moreover appeared to know of the locked compartment beneath a counter, in which Omen kept additional cash. A key chain attached to the man's belt had been broken but the slayer was foiled in gaining access to the cash drawer when the key roled into a floor grating. The drawer contained $70 while $3.25 was found in Omen's watch pocket. His wife, Vergie, was the last person known to have seen Omen before he was slain. She visited the poolroom just before the start of the World Series ball game. Police have not yet found anyone who has admitted visisting the poolroom between 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when Mrs Omen left, until 3 o'clock, when the body was found. The murder is believed to have taken place at 1:35 when the victim's wrist watch had stopped. The principal suspect did not visit his house all night, although he was seen at several points in the city late yesterday afternoon. The evidence pointing to his guilt has not prevented police from continuing their search for other leads. They are also taking into consideration the possibility that more than one person may have been involved. Still held for questioning today were three young men who were known to be frequent patrons of the poolroom. Police were investigating the fact, which they conceded may have no significance, that Omen was wearing a Lash high school ring of the Class of 1948. Chief of Police C H Courtney assigned six policemen to assist the detective bureau in an effort to clear up the murder which was baffling from several standpoints: particularly because it was so viciously brutal. Meanwhile today, arrangements were made to hold funeral services for Omen at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Mader-Peoples funeral home with Rev Louis H Valbracht, past of St John's Lutheran church, officiating. Burial will be in Woodlawn. Omen's battered body was discovered at 3 o'clock by E A Buckley of 731 Elberon avenue.
