The eldest of the two children, Margaret, who was with her mother at the time, is aged only 8 years and Thelma, the younger, is aged 4 years. Seeing their mother lying on the ground, irresponsive to their cries and words, the frightened children ran to their father, working some distance away in a field and told him what had happened. Hurriedly he went to the place. As he stood there for an instant with his two children holding his hands, he gazed upon the silent form of the wife and mother. She was beyond the help of human aid. At her side, her hand still grasping the hoe handle, lay the hoe, which she had been using. How pathetic was this scene, a tragedy in real life. Shocked and heartbroken were the many friends of the deceased when the news spread through the village. Kenton relatives were summoned and this morning Mrs. E. Carmean and Mrs. McGinnis, sister-in-laws of the deceased went to Ridgeway to attend the funeral. ---THE KENTON DAILY DEMOCRAT Tuesday, June 22, 1909. NOTE: The 6-year-old, Margaret, was my grandmother. I found this obit after she died. Since she never spoke of her mother's death, I assume she had forgotten the incidents surrounding it. ------------------------------ X-Message: #6 Date: Wed, 09 Dec 1998 17:59:39 -0600 From: Becky Subject: Patent Deed - Wayne County - SHUFFLING - 1817 Volume 157 Page 179 Wayne County, Ohio ______________________ 13809 | Patent Deed / | 1612 James Monroe President of the United States of America, / United States | TO ALL WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, GREETINGS; To | Know ye, That Timothy Shufling of Baltimore County Maryland having / Timothy Shuffling. | deposited in the General Land Office, a Certificate of the Register of the ______________________| Land Office at Wooster whereby it appears that full payment has been made for the northwest quarter of section Six of township Sixteen in range Thirteen of the Lands directed to be sold at Wooster by the Act of Congress, entitled "An Act providing for the Sales of Lands of the United States in the Territory north west of the Ohio, and above the mouth of the Kentucky river,"and of the Acts amendatory of the same, There is granted, by the United States, unto the said Timothy Shufling the quarter 1st on section of Land above described: To have and to hold the said quarter lot or section of Land, With the Appurtenances, unto the said Timothy Shufling his heirs and assigns forever.
