PFALZGRAF

Woodsfield, Ohio, May 26, 1919
Collection of Gertrude Christman Kahrig
John PFALZGRAF died May 10, 1919. He
was born February 11, 1837, in Seneca township, Monroe County, Ohio, and was a
son of Mr. and Mrs. George Michael PFALZGRAF who came to this country in 1832
from Alsace Lorraine. John grew to manhood on the farm which was government
land when his father secured it and is now owned by the youngest son, George
PFALZGRAF.
On February 17, 1864, he was married
to Miss Catherine CHRISTMAN. The next year he moved to the farm originally
contained 670 acres. The land was entered in 1831, and the patent deed was
signed by Andrew JACKSON. Mr. Pfalzgraf was an industrious farmer and the farm
became a valuable one, and especially in the last few years when it was found
to have exceptional deposits of coal under it.
Mr. and Mrs. Pfalzgraf raised a
family of twelve children, all of whom with his widow are living except two,
William PFALZGRAF, who died at the age of five years and George PFALZGRAF, who
was killed in an accident in Pittsburgh several years ago. Those living are:
Mrs. Barbara WALTON, of Round Bottom; Jacob A. PFALZGRAF, of Coyle, Oklahoma;
John PFALZGRAF, of Clarington, Route 3; Mrs. Louise METGZER, of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania; Alex PFALZGRAF, at home; Mrs. Christina CHRISTMAN, Bowie, Texas;
Lewis E. PFALZGRAF of Round Bottom; Samuel PFALZGRAF of Cameron; Ben PFALZGRAF
of Greely, Colorado, and Miss Mary PFALZGRAF at Boulder, Colorado.
In 1873, Mr. Pfalzgraf was elected
Infirmary Director and served the county in that capacity for six years. In
1889, he was elected County Commissioner which office he held for six years and
nine months, being present of the board. In office he used the same practical
common sense and good judgment that characterized his own business transactions.
For the thirty years preceding his
death he had been a member of Clarington Lodge No. 346 K. of P. and was a
strong advocate of the high principles of that fraternal organization.
When a youth, he was confirmed in
the Lutheran Church at Middle Church but after moving to the eastern part of
the county had a little opportunity to attend the services of the Church of his
chosen faith. In personality, Mr. Pfalzgraf was open hearted, kind and friendly
and many young people long since in homes of their own remember the good times
the hospitable home afforded years ago.
For the past years, Mr. Pfalzgraf
had been in rather poor health, yet considering years and infirmities his
active will refused to submit where a man of less stamina would have yielded.
He died at his home near Altitude Saturday morning, May 10th, and the funeral
services were held at the home and at Pleasant Ridge Church the following
Monday, conducted by the Reverend C. H. ROE, of the M. E. Church at Clarington.
Interment in the Pleasant Ridge cemetery by the side of his son, George.

A serious accident, which proved to
be fatal to one of the party, occurred on the National paved highway near the

When the driver tried to right the
machine the front wheels struck a high place in the curbing, upsetting the auto
and its occupants were all thrown into a frightened heap.

Laura Melinda CHRISTMAN, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Marx BAKER, was born September 20, 1874, near Lewisville, Ohio. As
an infant she received the sacrament of holy baptism according to the rites of
the Evangelical Church. Later she renewed these baptismal vows in her
confirmation.
On October 15, 1898, she was united in holy
wedlock with Mr. Charles E. CHRISTMAN, of near Lewisville, Ohio. What cannot be
said with honesty of many professing Christians, can be said of her, the
devoted wife and loving mother, as all her acquaintances knew her to be.
For two weeks the deceased was
suffering from typhoid fever. It finally pleased our Heavenly Father to call
her from this world of care and to translate her into her eternal home. She was
prepared to meet her Savior and glad of His advent. It was 1:10 o clock last
Friday morning, December 5, 1919, that she gave up the spirit, without a
struggle.
The deceased is survived by her
husband, three sons, Sylvester, Harvey
and Charles CHRISTMAN; two sisters, Mrs. BRISTER, of Brister Station,
and Mrs. Mary KING, of Pittsburg; four brothers, George, John and William
BAKER, of near Lewisville, and Louis
BAKER of Pittsburg; besides many other relatives and friends.
May our Heavenly Father strengthen
the bereaved in this their hour of sadness. That is the prayer of all their
friends.
Funeral services were conducted last
Sunday at the home and at St. John s Evangelical Church of Summit township. The
remains were laid to rest in the St. John s Evangelical cemetery, near
Lewisville. The Reverend Otto MUECKE, of Miltonsburg, conducted the services.
The deceased had reached the age of
45 years, 2 months and 2 weeks. Thus are we called to our heavenly home in the
midst of life. She died in her home near Lewisville, Ohio.
May God, the great comforter,
strengthen those who are left behind.

George W. Hines
was born Oct 20, 1842, not far from Stafford, on the farm where he spent his
entire life. He died on Oct. 6, 1920, at
the age of 71 years, 11 months and 7 days.
He was a son of Joseph and Esther Hines and grew to manhood on the farm.
On May 18,
1865, he was married to Miss Lydia Ann Givens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Givens, of Perry two, this county. To
this union a family of five sons and two daughters was born, two of whom
Wier, aged 11 months, and Birdie, aged 3 months preceded their parents to
rest. The surviving children are,
Joseph A., of Woodsfield; William Henry, of Summerfield; Thomas R. and Nahum
L., of near Sycamore Valley and Mrs. Clara Iva Cronin, who is now at San
Antonio, Texas.
Mrs. Hines died
March 15, 1879 and Mr. Hines was married a second time to Mrs. Sarah C.
Craig. One child, now Mrs. Jennie
Longfellow, of near Sycamore Valley, was born to this union.
In 1879 Mr.
Hines was received into the fellowship of the Church of Christ at Hartshorn and
when the church at Clear Frok was organized, he was selected as one of the
elders, which position he held at the time of his death. The house in which the congregation meets for
worship is situated on his farm and was purchased by him from a Baptist
association.
Friendly and
hospitable by nature, positive and firm in his convictions, Mr. Hines made his
personality a force in his neighborhood, and in his death the community loses a
stalwart, honorable and highly respected Christian citizen. He was a farmer all his life, and his
application and ability made him a successful one.
Besides the
relatives above mentioned he is survived by his widow an aged brother, Woodman
Hines, of Stafford; twenty-three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, and
many other relatives and friends.
Funeral
services were held on Thursday afternoon at the Hines meeting house, conducted
by Frank Lindewood, of Chandlersville, assisted by elders Geo. B. McFadden and
C. L. Millott. Interment in the Hines
cemetery. A large number of people paid
their last tribute of respect to the memory of their aged neighbor and friend.

of the United Presbyterian church at Pleasant Ridge. She was a faithful member
until God saw fit to call her spirit home. She spent the last five years in
Cleveland, and in January she was stricken with flu and pneumonia which later
developed into tuberculosis. For four months she was cared for at her sister s
and in May she was able to be brought to her home where she longed to be,
thinking the change would be a benefit to her, but she gradually grew worse and
all that medical skill and loving hands could do were done for sickness with
patience, without a murmur of complaint. She had a kind disposition and was
loved and respected by all who knew her. As the end drew near she called for
Jesus, dear Jesus, to come and take me away. For Thou hasn t been so precious
to me. She leaves to mourn her departure a father and mother, five sisters, and

THOMAS JEFFERSON MORRIS (13 July 1845 - 1921)
The Morris family Bible lists his
birthday as July l3, 1845.
He
lived on a farm over the hill from the Latta homestead. His
children went to Fox Hollow School.
Some of them are on the picture I have of the class of 1893. Pictured there are Dolph, Lydia, Belle,
Grover and John Morris. He is not
mentioned in the 1880 Federal Census of Monroe County. Perhaps he had moved because the children of
him and his second wife Susanna were born from 1881 through 1890.
Tom Morris was the last one buried on
the plot on the Latta farm in Monroe County.
The family had to get special permission to do it. Don and I visited this cemetery in 2002. His stone was about 12 feet from the main
line of the rest of the family. About 10
x 14 inches showed above the ground. It
was still standing. Each of the engraved
lines was centered.

MORRIS
1845-1921
The
records regarding his children were given to Elsie by the grandchildren of
Thomas J. Morris of the second marriage to Susannah. They gave William Morris as a son of this
marriage. [She questioned whether he
should be entered there or as a son of the first marriage since he was born in
January, 1879, and Thomas J. and the second wife were not married until July 7,
1879. I entered him with the first wife
until we find her date of death. Perhaps
she died in childbirth.]
We
have a copy of his certificate of death.
The informant was his son Alva Morris who did not know the birthplace of
Thomas J.'s father or mother (Henry or Mary Kinkade Morris). The cause of death was gastro enteris
catarrh. It said the disease was
contracted "at home."

Despondency, brought on by continued
ill health, is held responsible for the death by suicide of Louise Matilda
HETTIG, aged 24, at her home about 1 1/2 miles north of Lewisville, Ohio,
Tuesday evening, February 21, 1922.
Miss Hettig, according to
information from Lewisville, was unwilling to go to a hospital for treatment.
It was said that she gave no indication of her intention to members of the
family excepting a remark made on Monday, when she asserted that she did not
expect to live long. Tuesday evening she was found on a porch by a brother,
breathing her last, her throat cut. A butcher knife was close by.
Owing to the fact that there is no
qualified corner in Monroe County, Constable John FEIOCK served, as provided by
law, and rendered a verdict of death by suicide.
It was said that a note was found
later, in which the girl gave instructions as to her burial.
She leaves her father, mother and
two brothers and a sister at home, and a sister living in Cincinnati. The
funeral will be held Friday morning at the Summit Evangelical Church, and will
be conducted by the pastor.

The Daily Durango Democrat, published

following account of the death of Daniel L. EGGER, mention of whose death was
made in this paper last week:
News was received at this office
early yesterday evening of the sudden death of Daniel L. EGGER, of The Bayfield
Blade of apoplexy. Mr. Egger had suffered a few weeks ago from a stroke of
rheumatism but had seemingly recovered from it and was as well as he had been
for some time. He was helping with the chores about 6 o clock and without
warning dropped dead. He was about 60 years of age.
Mr. Egger established The Bayfield
Blade and had been its owner and editor
continuously since its establishment nearly 14 years ago.
He was well known and well liked
and his death will come as a shock to his many friends.
He leaves a wife and five children,
three boys and two girls, three of whom are at home. Reef Egger runs the Pagosa
Sun, while Marie is the reporter in the State Senate at Denver.
The arrangements for the funeral will
await the arrival of the daughter from Denver. The funeral will probably be
held next Monday at Bayfield.
Mr. Egger had been very closely
identified with the history of the San Juan basin for a number of years and
latterly had divided his time between the Blade and his fine farm near
Bayfield.
His loss is one that will be felt
by the community where he has labored so long and faithfully.

Woodsfield, Ohio, Thurs., Apr. 20, 1922
The many friends of Edward WEBER and
family of Buchanan Station were shocked to learn that his lifeless remains had
been found in an old well near his barn last Sunday morning. The facts as near
as we can learn were as follows:
Mr. Weber sometime before had
suffered from a severe attack of lagrippe which had left him in poor health. He
was not despondent, however, as he had received the most careful attention by his
family and friends and physician.
Sunday morning about 5:00 o clock
Mr. Weber awoke and asked about a drink of water. Mrs. Weber offered to get
one, but he arose and went out doors. When he did not return, Mrs. Weber became
puzzled, then alarmed. She searched, and after failing to find her husband,
called the assistance of neighbors, and after some time Mr. Weber s remains
were found in a well near the barn. While a verdict of suicide was rendered by
acting Corner John W. FEIOCK, there is room for doubt and the possibility that
he fell in the well, which may have been uncovered by other ways than by
himself.
In addition to suffering from the
effects of the flu, Mr. Weber had been injured by a cellar door, and that his
physician had warned him to avoid any great exertion.
The funeral took place last Thursday
afternoon when services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. J. SRODES of
Woodsfield and were attended by an unusually large number of friends from far
and near. The remains were laid to rest in Buchanan cemetery.
Mr. Weber was an elder in the
Buchanan Presbyterian church, a very substantial church member, an exemplary
citizen, husband and father of many good qualities.
He leaves his wife and three young
children; father, Christopher WEBER; a sister, Mrs. Henry YOUNG; and three
brothers, John, David and Will WEBER, all of near Lewisville. He was a lifelong
resident of his section of the county where he resided at the time of his
death.

Collection of Gertrude Christman Kahrig
It is with sadness we are called
upon to note the departure of our friend and neighbor, James Jacob NEUHARDT,
son of John Michael and Mary Catherine SCHAUB NEUHART. John Michael died
September 11, 1909, in Monroe County, Ohio and Mary Catherine died in 1890.
James Jacob was born August 1, 1857, at the Neuhardt homestead in Summit
township, Monroe County, Ohio, and departed this life July 9, 1922, at the Good
Samaritan Hospital, Zanesville, Ohio. On Sunday, November 12, 1885, he was
married to Miss Lucetta BINTZ. To this union were born five children of which
two daughters, Clara Lucetta and Harriett Magdelina gone to the world beyond.
Harriett Magdelina NEUHARDT died March 3, 1911.
Just a week before he passed away he
seemed to be enjoying life as usual when suddenly on Sunday afternoon, July 2,
he was stricken ill. His case was placed in the physician and upon his advice
it was deemed best to go to the hospital where he was placed in the hands of
the surgeons. Although his condition was serious they thought it best to try
the gallstone operation. This for a time seemed to be successful, then uremic
poisoning set in which resulted in his death. Before he started to the
hospital, he expressed the thought that perhaps he might never return but was
ready to face death. He was accompanied by his faithful wife, who at his
request never left him until the end came.
On Sunday afternoon, July 2, the
body was brought from Zanesville to the home to await the funeral services
which were held in the German M. E. Church near Monroefield, Ohio, on Wednesday
morning, July 12, and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery therein the
presence of a large number of friends and relatives. The services were
conducted by the Reverend Theodore LAGFEMANN of Hopkins, Michigan, a former
pastor and friend.
He was a kind husband and devoted
father and he will be sadly missed in the home and in the community in which he
has spent his life, but we can only say Thy will, Lord, and not ours be done.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his
beloved wife, Lucetta BINTZ NEUHARDT, three children, Franklin Samuel Neuhardt
and Arthur Frederick NEUHARDT of near Lewisville and Mrs. Charlotte Amelia
NEUHARDT SLOAN of Miltonsburg; three grandchildren, two brothers, George E.
NEUHARDT of Memphis, Tennessee, and Henry J. Neuhardt of Moundsville, West Virginia;
five sisters, Mary and Elizabeth NEUHARDT and Katherine HARRIGON of
Barnesville, Mrs. Ernestine THOMPSON of Shadyside, Amelia NEUHARDT of Wheeling,
West Virginia, and Mrs. Mollie DINZER
who spent a portion of her life in the Neuhardt home. Two brothers,
Philip NEUHARDT of Barnesville, Ohio and John NEUHARDT of Lukee, Mississippi
