RESIDENT DIES AT AGE OF 83
A.H. Sturdevant, Native of County, Dead
A.H. Sturdevant, 83, a life long resident of Ashtabula County, died at his 
home 29 Lockwood-st., Saturday night. Death followed a lingering illness of 
three years and was attributed to the infirmities of old age.
Mr. Sturdevant, who was the son of Moses J. and Abigail Sturdevant, was born 
in Rome township, Ashtabula county, in 1846. He came to Ashtabula 46 years ago.
Mr. Sturdevant went to work for the Pennsylvania railroad December 1, 1881 and 
for many years was ticket agent here. He was retired on June 1, 1912. 
Following his retirement he worked as a watch repairer until three years ago 
when he suffered a broken hip in a fall. He had been confined to his home 
since the accident.
His wife, Minnie Sturdevant, died June 5, 1927. After her death his daughter, 
Mrs Ida Forsythe of Youngstown, moved here and cared for him during his long 
illness.
Mr. Sturdevant is survived by a son, B.A. Sturdevant of Bloomington, Ill., who 
at one time was proprietor of the Star grocery, Main-st, this city; three 
daughters, Mrs. Fred J. Helm of Youngstown, and Mrs Forsythe and Lida 
Sturdevant of this city, four granddaughters Mildred Sturdevant of 
Bloomington, Mrs. Ward Mellinger and Virgina and Heryl Forsythe of Youngstown 
and a great granddaughter, Betty Jean Mellinger of Youngstown.
Funeral services will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the home. Rev. E.R. Romig,
