Betty T. Schroeder of rural Leipsic was struck by a southbound train at 4:25 a.m. at the CSX railroad crossing at County Road H, northeast of Ottawa, Putnam County Sheriff Jim Beutler said. Putnam County Coroner Oliver Lugibihl said Schroeder's death has been ruled a suicide and will not be investigated further. Schroeder was pronounced dead at the scene. Schroeder's brother, Gary Nadler, said his sister's children were her life. "Her kids were the most important thing to her. They were the center of her life, their activities and school activities. She was just so caring - always there to help other people," Nadler said. Nadler said Schroeder had briefly battled depression. "It's been a sad day. Nobody dreamt it was that bad," he said. Schroeder's husband, Joseph Schroeder, will be left to raise four sons and three daughters, all of whom live at home. Betty Schroeder was a homemaker and room mother at St. Mary's Catholic School. She had graduated from Miller City High School in 1981 and from Northwestern Technical College as a licensed practical nurse in 1982. Schroeder's death marked the second area fatal train accident this week. Brian Grismore, 22, died Wednesday night as he tried to cross railroad tracks in northern Allen County in his pickup truck. Grismore, from Glandorf, died when a northbound train in Monroe Township hit the driver's side of his truck. Betty T. Schroeder Memorial service - 1:30 p.m. today at St. Mary Catholic Church in Leipsic. Visitation - 5 to 9 p.m. today and 2 to 9 p.m. Sunday at Love Funeral Home in Leipsic. Services - 10 a.m. Monday at the church. Memorial contributions may be made to the Schroeder Children Education Fund. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Mon, 04 Feb 2002 14:41:16 +0000 From: "Ralph W.

Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed The following obituary is from an unnamed and undated newspaper clipping from my mother. A portrait photo of Edward S. Osborn accompanies the obituary. "SAILOR FROM ROSS KILLED IN ACTION WITH THE JAPS. E. S. OSBORN DIES IN SOUTH PACIFIC BATTLE. Chief Carpenter's Mate Edward Scott Osborn, a native of Ross county, was killed at his battle station, Aug. 8, when a torpedo from a Jap ship scored a direct hit on the heavy cruiser Astoria, in the Solomon islands, according to information just received by his sister, Mrs. Anthony Fout, Frankfort, Route 2. His wife, who made her home at Knoxville, Tenn., previously had been notified of his death, but details of when and where it occurred were not released until the Navy announced the Astoria as one of the ships damaged or sunk in this engagement. Later information came from a shipmate who escaped. Mrs. Osborn visited here in October and left Tennessee on Nov. 9 to go on to San Diego, Calif., where she will make her home. The son of Jacob and Mary Osborn, Edward Scott Osborn was born Oct. 28, 1902, near Lyndon. He attended Waugh school near there, and enlisted in the Navy in December, 1922. He remained in the service until the time of his death. Besides his wife and sister, two brothers survive: Chauncey at Frankfort and Harry at Cincinnati." ********************************** The following partial obituary is from an unnamed and undated newspaper clipping. A full-length picture of Edward Scott Osborn in U.S. Navy uniform accompanies the obituary. "WAR VICTIM. ROSS NATIVE IS SLAIN IN THE PACIFIC. CHIEF CARPENTER'S MATE ED S. OSBORN, IS VICTIM OF WAR. Mrs. Anthony Fout, Frankfort, Route 2, was informed Thursday afternoon that her brother, Chief Carpenter's Mate Edward Scott Osborn, a native of Ross County, was killed in action in the Pacific. Word of the casualty was received from Chief Osborn's wife, Bessie, who is now making her home with her mother in Knoxville, Tenn. Time and place of his death were not disclosed in the Navy Department's telegram to Mrs. Osborn. Chief Osborn was born on Oct. 28, 1902, near Lyndon the son of Jacob and Mary Osborn. He attended Waugh school, near Lyndon, and helped his parents on their farm until he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in December, 1922, and has been in the service since then. He was married in 1930 in California to the former Bessie Hubb, a native of Tennessee. His wife was with him in Honolulu on last (Turn to Page 2, Col. 4)" *********************************** The following article is also from another unnamed and undated newspaper clipping. Note that the name "Huffman" should actually be "Hoffman", and the name "Osborne" has also been spelled as "Osborn". "BRAKEMAN BEAT UP. CHILLICOTHE MAN VISITS RELATIVES HERE AND IS POUNCED UPON BY ANOTHER RELATIVE AND MUSSED UP. Harry Osborne, a brakeman who resides in Chillicothe, made affidavit against S. J. Kennedy, who lives over in Ross county, last Saturday night charging him with assault. Kennedy was later rounded up by Officers Emery and Willis and entered a plea to being drunk and disorderly, and was fined $10 and costs. Osbourne came to the home of Ralph Huffman, a relative who lives on Pine street, on Saturday night, and while preparing for bed, he heard a commotion on the street. He went out to see what was going on and he claims he was attacked by Kennedy and beat up, without any known reason other than that Kennedy was full of 'moon'. Osborne was severely beaten up and when Kennedy run his fist through the windshield of Osborn's car his arm was badly cut. He was attended by a physician, then went home and informed his folks that he had been in a motor wreck. His arrest followed, however, and he paid his fine and costs in full." _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #5 Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2002 16:02:34 -0500 From: "Maggie" To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <029001c1adcb$dea4e780$0300a8c0@local.net> Subject: Fw: 18 death records from Cuyahoga Co., Ohio - Early 1903 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: "O Slush" To: Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 8:08 AM Surnames: CAYNE CURRAN DAVIS DULA ELLIOTT FRIEND GRIFFITH HILL HOFFMAN JOHNSON KEATING KLINGMAN KREZAH LEWIS LORD MEIBUHR PENDLETON SLATER WALLACE I am related to the John SLATER shown below.
