Cokonougher" To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: Subject: news article: Meigs Co. Republican, 1893, Meigs & Gallia Co. Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed The following was very kindly forwarded to me, and I am, in turn, forwarding it on to OH-FOOTSTEPS for those Cokonougher - Coughenour researchers, and others, of the future. R. W. Cokonougher *********************************** Hello, This was on the Meigs Co. OH list and I don't know if you are on that list. There is a Coughenour mentioned in this newspaper transcription and I thought the name was close enough to yours that you might be interested. Herma Armstrong ************************************* The following transcriptions are from the Meigs Co. Republican but are articles that cover Gallia county. Since there are several Meigs Co. connections in them I am posting them to both Gallia Co. and Meigs Co. mailing list. Meigs Co. Republican -- January 11, 1893 ============================================ CARLTON AND CHESHIRE All that remember January 1856 will say the present winter is just like it; but that year there was a closed river until about March 17th, and ice did not cease running until about the 1st of April. Protracted meeting at our church closed Sunday last with good results - 7 conversions and accessions to the church; several backsliders reclaimed, church greatly revived. -- Rev. N. E. MUSSER and wife are a power of good, and are determined to be pillars in the denomination. -- All our people love them. Baptizing Saturday after morning services. Esq. BLACKBURN'S court did considerable business last week -- part civil and two criminal cases. Several witnesses from your city were present. Our old friend, J. M. COUGHENOUR, who had his ankle so terribly broken a year since while hauling saw logs, attended the protracted meeting on crutches. A large piece of bone worked out, and he is much improved. Mel is a good fellow. Seven aspirants for the Cheshire postoffice, and several localities yet to hear from. We propose that a little postoffice be established for everyone, that voted the Democratic ticket. Please send the Republican to H. G. SWISHER, Phillipsburg, Kansas - Find $1 enclosed, for which, send the receipt to Mrs. G. W. SWISHER, Carlton. A number of our people have been suppoened and will attend court Thursday next, in case of Cheshire township vs. Cheshire Special School District, and the Rouse will case. - Both set for that day. Henking as a name for our post office passed out with the old year, and now the letters are flying mounted with the name of Carlton on their wings. Mrs. Chas. BENGEL and Miss Katie BENGEL, of Pomeroy, were visiting the family of H. V. CARL last week. G. E. WARNER, one of the dining room attendants at the Athens Asylum, was down last week to see his folks. Gip. Is a No. 1 fellow. We are always glad to see him. Protracted meeting still in progress at Cheshire Free Baptist Church. J. J. COURHENOUR lost a three year old colt by lung fever Saturday last. Who broke their sleigh while sleigh riding Saturday night? No one knows. The great army of farmer is resting and so is OLD GALLIA CHESHIRE ITEMS New Year's day morning and evening, we had the privilege of listening to excellent sermons by Rev. W. J. FULTON, who continues here this week to hold meetings. The funeral of Mr. McCoy RALSTON took place at the resident, Monday, January 2, conducted by a minister from Marietta. It was largely attended. Mrs. Wm. SYMMES entertained a few friends New Year's Day, among them was Rev. W. J. FULTON. N.W. RESENER, suffering with a dislocated ankle, is in a position to exercise that rare virtue, patience, as the doctor says it will be some day before he is able to walk. Prof. and Mrs. C. O. CLARK, of Rio Grande, who have been visiting the latter's parents below town, spent a few days at Syracuse with Dr. and Mrs. ROWLEY. David THOMAS one of Cheshire's most promising young men has returned to school at Athens. School opens at this place Monday, the 9th, with A. P. HIGLEY, Mrs. POINDEXTER and Miss Gertrude LEDLIE as instructors. Mrs. Aggie BAIRD continues to improve. We overheard one young lady remark to another, with a despairing sigh. "1893 is not a leap year. Is it?" SPARKS ============================================ THE DEATH OF MCCOY RALSTON McCoy RALSTON died at his home in Addison township, near Cheshire, on Friday morning, December 30th, 1892, aged nearly 78. He had been troubled for some time past with rheumatism, which affected his heart, and at an early hour on Friday morning Dr. BARTON had been called, and he was with him when death came. He was not considered in a dangerous condition, and in fact arose from his bed and dressed himself as usual. Mr. RALSTON was born in Gallia county, January 15, 1815, and his long and useful life was spent at the spot where he first saw the light of day. He married Sarah E. GASTON, a half sister of Mr. A. S. BING, February 17, 1847, who survives her husband. Four children are also living - one daughter and three sons. ============================================ A good friend sends the Republican the following concerning McCoy RALTSTON. He was born January 7th 1815 (yes, that is the date in this article and it is different from what the above obituary states, but I doubled checked both articles to be sure I was typing it correctly as to what the article states) and was the youngest of five brothers. He was a member of an old family, who came out from the Valley of Virginia and settled in Addison township, Gallia county, in the early part of this century, where he was born and lived all his life. He was a good, law-abiding citizen, and lived at peace with all his old neighbors. He was a kind husband and indulgent father. His acquaintance was very general in Meigs county. Mrs. RALSTON'S father, Mr. Jonathan GASTON, was from Meigs county, and a member of one of the oldest and most highly respectable families in Rutland township. Mr. James RALSTON, of Pomeroy, is the last surviving member of the five brothers and one sister, and he believes his is living on borrowed time. I transcribed the above without changing the spelling, grammar or punctuation. The text is as it appears in the newspaper at the time.
