  At his residence in this place, at half-past 1 o’clock, on Thursday, March 
11th, John Sinclair, Esq., aged about 52 years. – Monroe Herald.
  The deceased was a native of Ireland, but he came to Belmont County more 
than 40 years ago, and resided her many years.  He had been engaged for 
several years past in the practice of law at Woodsfield, where he leaves a 
large and interesting family, and he was there noted for his zeal in the trial 
of causes, for his extensive information, and for “his independent tongue and 
pen.”  The writer of this hasty notice had good opportunity to know him well, 
and cheerfully bears testimony that he was possessed of a kind, generous, 
heart.  And although his health has been rapidly failing for several months, 
he approached the grave “Like one who wraps the draper of his couch 
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.”   J.

consistent member of the Presbyterian Church in Morristown.  She bore the 
tedious, painful decline of her physical system with singular fortitude and 
Christian patience; thus evincing to her surviving friends, that, to her to 
die, was gain and assuring them that she has gone to that Blessed Land 
where “the wicked cease to trouble and the weary are at rest,” and “where the 
reward of their labor shall be given to the righteous.”  Long may the 
influence of her retiring, industrious, and Christian life be felt by her 
surviving friends, and neighbors and the church of which she has been an 
humble unostentatious, member.

So her spirit has flown from this world of unrest,
To repose on the bosom of God.”

  Ann Snider, the subject of this notice, died at the residence of her Father, 
in Smith Township, Belmont Co., O., June 23, 1858 in the 31st year of her 
age.  At the age of 15 she united with the M.E. Church of which she remained a 
member until the Master called her, to “join the general assembly of the 
Church of the first born, whose names are written in Heaven”.  As a taper, 
that, without being disturbed by any blast of wind, expires of its own accord, 
when the wax that kept it alive, and nourished its flame is totally spent, so 
she calmly fell asleep – asleep in death.  (poem follows)

Belmont Chronicle, July 1, 1858, page 3.
Obituaries.
  Died, near Jacobsburgh, on the 29th ult., Mr. Robert Workman, in the 38th 
year of his age.
  The deceased suffered for some months from pulmonary disease.  Aware of his 
approaching end, he looked forward to his change with hope, and a calm 
confidence in his Redeemer.  His death was peaceful and happy.  May his 
surviving companion, so soon, and for the second time, a widow and all his 
friends, be strengthened in their faith, and encouraged in their hope by this 
experience.

  ON the 3d inst., at her father’s house, Sinai, daughter of John and Margaret 
Melan, aged 18 years and 12 days.
  She died as she had lived, calmly and peacefully.  A short time before she 
died she remarked, “This world is bright and beautiful; and it would be 
pleasant to remain a while; yet I am resigned and going to a better home.”  
She called her friends to her bedside, bid them all adieu and without a 
struggle breathed her life sweetly away.  She has left behind her kind and 
indulgent parents, loving and attentive brothers and sisters, and a host of 
acquaintances, all of whom deeply mourn her loss. (poem follows)

Died.
  On the 5th inst. Mrs. Isabella Hewetson, widow of Dr. Joseph Hewetson, in 
the 57th year of her age.  The deceased was, to a considerable extent, 
confined to her house by her illness for nearly a year before her end, and in 
her affliction enjoyed the hopes and consolations of that gospel which brings 
immortality to light, and we trust she has entered into the blessedness and 
glory of the redeemed in heaven.

Belmont Chronicle, September 2, 1858, page 3.
Obituary.
  Died, in Barnesville, Aug. 26th, of Typhoid Fever, James M. Frasier, son of 
Richard and Eliza Frasier, in the 14th year of his age.  The deceased was a 
child of a remarkably amiable disposition, and of a thoughtful turn of mind.  
He bore the pain of his sickness with great fortitude, and died, as is hoped, 
trusting in the atonement of the Savior for his acceptance with God.  He had 
been a regular attendant at the Sabbath School and Church, and when asked a 
little while before his death if he thought he would  die, and what would 
become of him, he said, “In Heaven there are a great many little boys and 
girls, and I shall be among them.”  Blessed by the dead who die in the Lord.”
