Bath County Loses Valued Citizen 
Samuel Lathram Passes After Long Illness 
   Samuel Lathram, 73 years old, one of the best known and most highly 
esteemed citizens of the county, passed away at his home on the Wyoming 
road Thursday night, October 10, after a long illness.  He had been in 
declining health for several years and had been critically ill for a 
month or more prior to his death. 
  A retired farmer and at one time one of the largest shippers of live 
stock in the county, he was widely known throughout this section of the 
state.  During his active years he was associated with several prominent 
stock buyers in the county, among them the late George A. Reed and the 
late Omer Wilson.  Before the opening of co-operative stock sales, now 
in vogue, Mr. Lathram made regular shipments of live stock of all kinds 
top his various connections in Cincinnati, Chicago and Jersey City.  Of 
late years he had devoted his attention principally to farming until 
ill health forced him to retire from active business. 
    A native of Bath county, he was a son of the late George and Phoebe 
Hart Lathram, born March 28, 1867.  He came of staunch pioneer stock 
and was a typical example of American citizenship.  He was a life long 
Republican and a member of the Christian Church. 
   Besides his wife, Mrs. Mollie Coyle Lathram, he is survived by four 
daughters, Mrs. Charlie Atchison, Fleming county; Mrs. Dewey Manley, 
Mrs. Clifford Horsman and Miss Mary Lathram, of this county; three sons, 
Chester Lathram, Hot Springs, Ark., and George and William Lathram of 
Owingsville, and two brothers, W. T. Lathram, Flemingsburg, and George 
Lathram, of this county. 
   Funeral services were held at the residence Saturday afternoon, 
October 12, conducted by the Rev. George C. Frey.  Interment was in 
the family lot in the Owingsville Cemetery.
