more as a surprise and shock than that of the death of Judge T. J. Kremer
Monday afternoon, January 14, 1951, about 2 o’clock. He had been in his usual
health and held a session in Common pleas Court from 9:00 to 9:45 in the
forenoon.
At the conclusion of his work, he began to feel
uncomfortable and hurried across the street to his home. Mrs. Kremer summoned
medical aid at once and he seemed relieved but a severe heart attack resulted
in his death a few hours later. He was the last member of his family.

circle.

Club and a member of the Monroe County Bar Association.

During the last year when Mr. Christman was unable to go to
town for supplies his neighbors and friends helped him out considerably,
especially did he depend upon the faithful assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd
Weber, his closest neighbor.
All of those who knew Mr. Christman and visited him remember
his patience and faith in all of his conversation. Although he was unable to be
an active member of the Church during these past years, he remained a faithful
Christian thru his personal devotions and the inspiration from the Bible and
radio worship services. This past fall he wrote a request in a strong hand,
influenced some by the German script. The request was for the sacrament of
communion. After participation in Communion with his wife, he again received
the strength of the love and communion with his Master Christ. May God bless
all of those who remain faithful unto death.
The family and relatives wish to express their sincere
appreciation and thanks for all of the kindness and expressions of
neighborliness that have been shown toward Mr. William Christman and his

George S. Harrison was born January 15,
1865 and departed this life March 26, 1953, being at the time of his death 88
years, 2 months and 11 days of age.
He was a son of the late Martin and
Katherine Harrison. His wife, Minnie
Marty Harrison, preceded him in death June 8,1940.
Surviving are two children, Mrs. Mabel
Heslep, of Clarington Route 1, and Harry Harrison, of Wheeling; one sister,
Mrs. Ruth Mozena; five grandsons and one granddaughter; five great
granddaughters and one great grandson, with many other relatives and friends.
One of his grandsons, Pvt. John Heslep,
is serving his country in the U.S. Army in Japan. He is of the same lineage as the two late
President Harrisons. His entire life has
been spent in this community. He was a
member of the United Brethern Church in Christ.
"Pappy" as he was
affectionately called by his family and friends, was a friend to all he came in
contact with. From his childhood to his
last hour he always manifested a sunny character. His last years were spent listening to his
radio of which he got all the church services he was able to dial. His great ambition was to drink deeper from
the fountain of God's love, so when his master called, "It is enough, come
up higher," he could sing with the Angels his favorite hymns, "On
Jordan's Stormy Banks," and "Home At Last."
The events of his entire life can best
be eulogized in these few words of the poet.
He lived in the house by the
side of the road,
And was a friend of man.
Then shall I reach that
happy place
And be forever blest,
Then shall I see my Father's
face
And in His bosom rest.

Rachel
Jane Morris (above) died Sunday afternoon, May 31 at the home of her grandson,
Alfred Jarboe, Ranger, at the age of 99
years. She had been ill seven weeks prior to her passing, having suffered a
stroke.
Born
March 30, 1854 in Monroe county, Ohio, the daughter of David and Margaret Ann
Ferguson Morris, she came to this county with her parents at the outbreak of
the Civil war. They traveled over land for a day to the river and then made the
trip by boat to Cannelton, this part of the journey required eight days. They
remained in Cannelton several days and then went on to Ranger where she resided
on the same farm until her death.
The
deceased’s father was born in Holland** and lived to be 93 years of age. Her
mother was born in Ireland.** She cared
for her aged parents until their passing. Her only daughter, Mrs. Sylvester
(Katie) Jarboe, died 29 years ago, leaving four children. Miss Morris’
son-in-law, Sylvester Jarboe, and her grandson, Alfred Jarboe and family have
resided on the old home place with her for many years.
She was
the only remaining member of a family of 10 children. In good health until the
past few months, except for impaired hearing and sight, she was extremely
active for her age and often made trips to town with the Jarboes. A member of
Lily Dale Church of Christ, she was an interesting conversationalist and had a
keen memory and could relate many interesting stories of early days and the
Civil War. She was best known by all her friends as Aunt Jane.
Surviving

**Submitter’s Note: Death records for
his father Henry G. Morris on Monroe County, Ohio Death CD 1, pp 70-71, and on
various census data indicate that Henry was born in the District of
Columbia. The 1850 census for Monroe
County, Ohio, indicated David was born in Ohio and Margaret in Pa. My father, Vern Latta, who will be 90 in
2005, was told that the family had Dutch origins, but we have not been able to
get far enough back to find this.

Charles E. Christman, 80, the son of Godfrey and Katherine Bauman
Christman, was born on October 7, 1874,
on his parents’ farm near Wills Creek, West of Monroefield, Ohio. He departed
this life January 5, 1955, at the age of eighty years and three months. Born
into a large family he was the second youngest of ten children, which included
three girls and seven boys.
His
parents who were among the first settlers of this community, were from Germany
with a background of strong Christian faith. He received the sacrament of
Baptism at St. John’s Evangelical Church and later received the vows of Church
membership himself by the rite of Confirmation at the age of fifteen. From that
time forward he remained a faithful and loyal member of St. John’s Evangelical
and Reformed Church throughout his lifetime. In his Church he found the
strength and guidance he needed by regular attendance and participation in the
sacrament of Holy Communion. He received his last Holy Communion ten days
before God called him to his heavenly home.
On October 15, 1898, he was united in marriage to Miss Laura Melinda
Baker. To this happy union were born five sons. Laura died December 5, 1919,
from typhoid fever, aged 45 years. Three sons, Harley, Herbert, and Clesson
Christman were taken early in life. Harley died September 6, 1904, and; Herbert
died February 4, 1903 and Clesson died in 1934.
The two living sons are Freeman Christman, of Monroefield and Harvey
Christman of Woodsfield. The last two weeks of Mrs. Christman’s life were spent
at the home of his son, Freeman where with his wife, brother Harvey, the
grandchildren and neighbors, he was given tender and loving care day and night.
After the untimely death of his first wife, he was united in marriage
to Emma Black on November 26, 1924. She too preceded him in death on June 19,
1946, aged 83 years, leaving one stepson, Stephen Black, now living in
Zanesville, Ohio.
Mr. Christman has three grandchildren, Eldon and Ruth Christman, of
Lewisville, Rural Route, and Richard Christman, of Columbus, Ohio. Also there
are five great grandchildren who have brought much additional joy to him in
these past years. Having a host of relatives, he is honored with having one of
the largest relationships in this country, all descendants of the first
pioneer settlers.
These early settlers built up their homes near springs where Mr.
Christman built his home. Here on his beautiful farm located west of Barnhart
Ridge Road he lived alone during these past years. On his farm he found much
joy in tending the cattle and chickens, watching the crops grow and be harvested
by his son and grandsons.
Burial was made in the St. John’s Middle Church cemetery, near

David
Latta, 75, Officer of Hercules, Succumbs -- Was Consulting Engineer
David W. Latta, vice president of Hercules
Motors Corp. since April 17, 1947, and associated with the corporation for the
last 38 years, suffered a fatal heart attack today at 1 a.m. in his home at
2200 Broad ave NW. [Canton, Ohio] He
was 75. Although he had been under
treatment for a heart ailment, his death was unexpected. He had retired
from active service with Hercules July 1 but retained his corporate
office. Mr. Latta was probably better
known in engineering circles outside of Canton than in the city which he had
called home for more than half a century. With the exception of the first
two years in his association with Hercules his work as sales engineer took him
to the nation's industrial centers. For many years he considered Chicago
his center of activity and maintained headquarters there.
Funeral rites will be Saturday at 10:30
a.m. in the Welch funeral home and burial will be in Melscheimer
Cemetery. Calling hours . The Rev. George E. Parkinson will officiate.
Mr. Latta was a son of the late John and
Mary Jane Latta and was born in Monroe County. He attended grade and high
school there and then enrolled at Cornell University from where he was
graduated in 1903. He was a long-time member of the Society of Automotive
Engineers. He came to Canton the year
following his graduation and became associated with the Kuehn Wilson Co. which
later became the State Electric Co. and remained with that concern until
joining Hercules in 1918.
Mr. Latta
had a number of hobbies, chief of which were gardening and photography.
Probably one of his proudest possessions was an Ordinance Distinguished Service
Award, presented to him on July 20, 1944, as a member of the Coordinating
Research Council in recognition of "outstanding and meritorious
engineering advisory service" to the U.S. armed forces.
Mr. Latta is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Effie J. Latta of the home; four sons, Elton, Zelvon, Donald and Vernon Latta
of Canton; a daughter, Miss Jan Edith Latta of the home and three
grandchildren.
Honorary pallbearers at the rites will
include Charles Balough, John C. Keplinger, John D. Cook, A.R. Miller, C. O.
Jewell, Wesley Schaub and O.D. Treiber all of Canton, and Homer Schaub of East
Sparta. Active pallbearers will be William Keplinger of Chicago and the
following from Canton: Elmer C. Ide, F.H. Geisler, L.G. Downey, William
D. Butcher, George W. LaSalle, Dr. E.A.V. Horiak and D.L. Buchanan. [David Wilson Latta, died 25 July 1956]

When I have crossed the bar,
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning at the bar
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell.
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark.
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
I hope to see my Pilot face to face.

A Barnesville resident, a World War II
veteran, died in Barnesville Hospital Friday morning, following a horrible
accident which occurred at his home 331 Harrison Ave, Thursday evening about
6:30.
Samuel Danford Leach, 38, was a victim
of a horse which he had mounted, crushing him inwardly when it reared over
backwards and then rolled on him. It seemed some of the injury was caused by
the saddle horn when it was pushed into his chest.
The big spotted pony belonged to his
13-year daughter, Joyce Leach and had been purchased for her about two weeks
before the accident.
Several people gathered around the accident
scene in the Leach backyard when they heard screams of children when he was
crushed by the animal. It could be readily seen that he was seriously hurt and
Mrs. Newton Ferguson, RN, at the Barnesville Hospital who lives nearby, rushed
to the scene and gave mouth-to-mouth respiration, and also accompanied him to
the hospital when the ambulance arrived. Surgeons worked on the victim in a
battle to save his life, but due to inward injuries, surgery was apparently of
no avail.
A veteran of World War II and a member
of Veterans of Foreign Wars, he was born in Noble County, June 10, 1926, a son
of Barney and Grace Spence Leach.
Surviving are his wife, Sarabell
Montgomery Leach; two daughters, Joyce Ann and Gay Lynn, both of the home; three
sisters, Mrs. Helen Wehr, Mrs. Ethel Carpenter, both of Barnesville, and Mrs.
Cledith Carpenter of Calais; a brother, Jack Leach, of Barnesville, and his
parents.
Friends were received after 1 P.M.
Saturday at the Campbell Funeral Home, where services were held Sunday at 2:00

Sad Sam Jones Dies at 73, Pitched 22 Years
Woodsfield, Ohio (AP)
Sad Sam Jones, who shared with Cy Young the record for
longevity among major league baseball pitchers of all time, is dead. The
73-year-old Jones was stricken here Wednesday at his home where he had lived
since leaving baseball for good after a brief stint as a minor league relief
hurler in 1947.
Jones would have been 74 in 20 more days, and also would have
marked his golden anniversary with his wife, Edith, the same day. Sad Sam
enter the major leagues with Cleveland in 1914 and pitched through the 1935
season, chalking up 22 consecutive years. Only he and the great Young of
Newcomerstown, Ohio, pitched that many years consecutively in the majors. All
of Jones' pitching was in the American League. Jones, in addition to
Cleveland, pitched for New York, St. Louis, Washington, Chicago, and Boston. He
had a lifetime record in the majors of 228-216, including 36 shutouts, and a
no-hitter on Sept. 4, 1923, defeating the old Philadelphia Athletics 2-0.
While Jones' career was impressive, it also was marked by
disappointment. For one thing, he pitched in six games in four World
series without winning a game. While with the Yankees in the 1923 World Series,
he tossed a four-hitter at the New York Giants only to lose 1-0 on a
fourth-inning home run by Casey Stengel.
Jones set two records of dubious distinction for the Yankees in
1925. He gave up 127 earned runs that year while posting a record of 15-21. The
earned run mark and the 21 games lost stand today in the Yankees' record
books. Many athletes have used the nickname Sad Sam, but Paul Turner
of Woodsfield, a long-time friend, said Jones was the original. "But he
wasn't sad. There wasn't anything sad about him.... I don't know where he got
the nickname," said Turner.
The family did not disclose the cause of death. In addition
to the widow, Jones is survived by two sons, Paul, of Erie, PA, and George, of
New York City. Jones became the president of the Woodsfield Savings and Loan
Co. after returning to his home town 19 years ago. Funeral services will
be held here Saturday.

Leroy Dale Brown - Cochise County, Arizona – 1969 Cochise County Sheriff
Deputy Leroy Dale Brown, of Bowie, AZ died Saturday, December 9, 1969 in the
line of duty. Mr. Brown served in the United States Navy during the Korean War
as a GM3 onboard the USS Collette. He also was medically retired from the
S&P Railroad where he worked as a carpenter. He was born September 10, 1931
in Ordway, Colorado to James Elmer Brown and Pearl Jones Brown.
Deputy Brown is survived by
his wife, Clarene “Jackie” Brown, Bowie; two sons: Jeff, 8; and Todd, 4; his
father, J.E. Brown, Westville, OK; and his mother, Mrs. Pearl Brown, Dos
Cabezas. He is also survived by sisters Jean, Joann, Sandra, and Janie. Deputy

Deputy Brown Killed;
Assailant Shoots Self
AZ Range News - Dec 11, 1969
Cochise County Deputy Sheriff
Leroy Brown, 38, was shot to death Saturday and his assailant later died of a
self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Sheriff Jim Willson said
Brown was shot two or three times by Andres Griego, 20 of Bowie, at a
restaurant. Griego was taken to Tucson Medical Center following the slaying,
where he was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the head. His body was
found in a Bowie school yard.
Willson said Griego has
threatened Brown and and two other deputies following his arrest in August for
disturbing the peace. Griego spent 30 days in jail on the charge, and after
being released, went to Superior, AZ. Willson said Griego apparently did not
return to Bowie until Saturday.
The Sheriff said Griego
entered a restaurant where Brown was, apparently after seeing the deputy
sheriff there.
After entering the
restaurant, Willson said, Griego ordered a cup of "hot, hot coffee,"
Griego went over to the table where Brown and another man was seated and threw
the coffee in the deputy's face. As Brown got up, Willson said, Griego pulled a
.25 caliber automatic from a paper bag and shot the deputy in the face. Willson
said Griego shot Brown at least one more time, and may have fired a third shot.
Following the shooting, the
Sheriff said Griego fled the restaurant and ran some two blocks to the city's
high school where he shot himself.
A coroner's inquest held
after the shooting confirmed that the deputy had been shot and killed by
Griego.
Deputy Brown is survived by
his wife, Clarene “Jackie” Brown, Bowie; two sons: Jeff, 8; and Todd, 4; his
father, J.E. Brown, Westville, OK; and his mother, Mrs. Pearl (Jones) Brown,
Dos Cabezas. Also survived by sisters Jean, Joann, Sandra, and Janie.

Old-time members of the National Genealogical Society will remember a tall,
bald man in a Navy officer's uniform, whose smile and hearty handshake exuded
warmth and cordiality, and whose booming voice infected his hearers with the
same enthusiasm for genealogical research and for extending the spheres of the
influence of the society.
This was Ben F. Dixon, a native of Kahoka, Missouri, and a long time
resident of San Diego, California. It is with deep regret that we
received word of his death at his home, 6008 Arosa Street, San Diego, on
Saturday, 27 June 1970, at the age of 78.
In his adopted city he was Curator of the Junipero Serra Museum in
Presido Park, 1949-1955, and for 11 years taught history at Adult Evening
School. He started the Walking Tours of the Old Town. He was a
member of the Squibob Chapter of E Clampas Vitus, an organization founded in
the Gold Rush Days by men who like to mix history and fun. In 1968 on a
visit to Washington (D C), he addressed the Society on the historical and
genealogical work being accomplished in San Diego.
His publications included "Contributions of Haiti to the
Independence of the United States, 1776-1826" (1950), which won an award
from the Haitian Government; "Diario, The Journal of Padre
Serra " (editor; 2nd edition, 1967), and with Mrs Dixon, "Five
Generations of American Dwelles" (1960).
The Society extends its deepest sympathy to his widow, the former Alice
L. Dwelle; his sons Dale and John and his daughter Mary Alice Six
grand children also survive. Burial was in Greenwood Mausoleum. Milton Rubincam.

Starr, of Barnesville, where he had been making his home for the past several
months. A retired farmer, he was born
Jan. 21, 1887, in Monroe County near Calais, a son of Stephen and Lena Wells
Brownfield. Mr. Brownfield was a member
of the Seneca Valley Church of Christ.
His wife, Blanche G. Brownfield, died Aug. 7, 1969. In addition to the daughter at whose home he
died, Mr. Brownfield is survived by five other daughters, Mrs. Henry (Mabel)
Starr of Quaker City, Mrs. Kenneth (Stella) Mitchell of Bellaire, Mrs. Hobart
(Bessie) Bunting and Mrs. Donald (Mary Lou) Broomhall, both of Barnesville,
