01/01/1915 - Samuel NUSBAUM Answers Last Call - After an illness
extending over a period of several months, Samuel NUSBAUM, one of the
best known residents of the county and a resident of Middlebury and
vicinity, died at the home of his son-in-law, A L TROYER, Christmas
Day.  Born in Ashland Co OH, 12 Aug 1837 and moving to this county in
1850, the life of Mr NUSBAUM has been filled with joy and sorrow. From
one of the pioneers of the county, he rose to the position of a well
to do farmer and a citizen well spoken of by all who knew him.  Honest
in his dealings with his fellow man, a friend in time of need, and a
Christian of the pioneer type was Mr. NUSBAUM.  On 13 Mar 1861, he was
married to Catherine WORT and to this union were born three daughters
and two sons, all of whom survive.  Besides the children, Mrs. S C
EASH, Mrs A L TROYER, and Mrs. Clara EASH, O. S. and Samuel NUSBAUM,
all of Middlebury; three brothers, William of Pulaski Ia, Christian of
Ottawa Kan, Joseph of Peabody Kan; and four sisters Mrs. W W MILLER of
Chicago, Mrs Daniel BALYEAT, Mrs. A HAINES and Mrs. Katherine HOOVER
of Middlebury survive.  Mr. NUSBAUM was one of the pioneer thresherman
of the county and followed the business for a number of years.  About
ten years he moved to Middlebury and had resided here until his death.
His wife died several years ago.  He was member of Mennonite church.
