OBITUARY
Departed this life, at the residence of his father, in Salem  township, on 
Sunday evening, 11th inst., after a short but, severe sickness,  MORTIMER 
PATTON, in the 18th year of his age.

We truly sympathize with our venerable friend and neighbor, Mr.  Patton.  
Member after member, branch after branch of his family and  household, have 
been 
stricken down in the last few years.  But a few years  since, his wife and an 
intelligent and educated son, were cut off by the cholera  in a few hours’ 
sickness.  They breathed their last but a few hours  apart.  Daughter-in-laws 
and 
grandchildren, following in quick succession,  making the number, we believe, 
of his family connections that have departed this  life - - sixteen.

About fourteen months since, he was called to mourn the lost of a son, who  
died on his way to New Orleans - - far from his parents and home, and among  
strangers.  And now he has to mourn the death of his youngest son - - the  last 
prop and anticipated comfort and help of his declining days.   The deceased 
was a youth of more than ordinary abilities and worth.   Manly, frank, and 
open, 
in his conduct and deportment.  He was exemplary in  his habits, and 
kindness, obedient, and industrious.  He was endowed with a  strong mind and a 
retentive memory.  It would be hard to predict what  ripened age, with proper 
culture, would have brought forth in such an  individual.  The language he made 
use 
of to his heart stricken father and  step-mother, brothers and sister, a few 
moments before he expired, was truly  touching and affecting.

The aged heart stricken father and mother, bereaved brother and sisters,  and 
mourning friends and relative, have the warm sympathies, of a sympathetic  
and kind community.



MARRIED On Thursday evening, May 15th by Rev. S. C. Frampton, Mr. William  
Jennings, to Miss Frances Murdock, all of Pomeroy.

On the same day, by the same, Mr. George J. Cromwell, to Miss Eliza  
Davenport, both formerly of Lewisburg, VA
