JOHN HEINLEIN It is with profound regret that the death Mrs. John Heinlein of Portsmouth is chronicled today. A message was received by Chillicothe relatives about 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning conveying the sad news that her death had occurred early that morning. Her illness had been a serious nature from the first, having been taken with rheumatism abut two months ago and the recent high waters in the River City only tended to aggravate her malady. Other complications arose and about three weeks ago typhoid fever developed. Her condition had been critical from the first but her family and friends had hoped against hope but to no avail. The deceased was 28 years old. She was the daughter of Mrs. Minnie Kellar of High street. She was possessed of musical ability beyond the ordinary and was a very popular soloist during the some popular favor in the River City, having been engaged as a soloist in one of the churches. For a number of years she was the soprano at the St. Peter's catholic church. She removed to Portsmouth about a year ago with her husband. Beside her husband she is survived by her mother, who was at her bedside during her illness and two brothers, Arthur of this city and Henry of Springfield. The remains will be brought to this city Wednesday and funeral arrangements will be deferred until the husband arrives. ---------------------- June 18 1907 Ross County Register Miss Ruth Williams Miss Ruth Williams, the thirteen year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Williams of North High street, died last night at midnight of diphtheria.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Hi folks, While looking for obits, I came across this article and just couldn't pass it up; take a moment and read it, it's not only informative (with surnames you might be looking for), but, it's rather entertaining. Sandy Searching Family Stories with Sandy Morning Gazette March 12 1855, Ross County Newspaper ARREST AND ESCAPE We stated on Saturday morning that Sheriff Anderson had received information that the thief who stole Dr. Waddle's horse had been arrested in Portsmouth. He according sent his deputy, Mr. Hon immediately to that place to bring the offender to this city. On arriving at Portsmouth Mr. Hon found the thief in jail, from where he took him and started in a buggy for this city, where they arrived on Saturday evening about 8 o'clock.-- Just as they drove up in front of the jail the thief, not being handcuffed jumped from the buggy and escaped. He was pursed for some distance by the officer and a number of citizens, but owing to the darkness they were unable to keep track of him, and no trace of him has yet been discovered. He is doubtless an old offender, and we sincerely hope may yet be recaptured and brought to justice. - ------------------------------------ THE FOLLOWING DAY, MARCH 13, 1855 SAME NEWSPAPER ANOTHER ARREST AND ESCAPE The horse thief who was arrested at Portsmouth and escaped from our officers on Saturday, was re-arrested in Columbus on Sunday evening, and again escaped from those in charge of him, as they were conducting him to jail. Sheriff Anderson had telegraphed to the Columbus police to be on the alert, and the thief arriving on the coach from this city, having got on at Bloomfield, was arrested. But the wily rascal again made his escape, aided by the darkness. - -------------------------- The following day, March 14, 1855, same newspaper FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD! FOR THE ARREST OF CHARLES FULTEN ALIAS WILLIAM JOHNSON Who escaped on the night of the 10th inst. Said Johnson is about 28 or 30 years of age, has blue eyes, probulient (hard to read this word?) nose, heavy whiskers around his chin, is of light complexion, his whiskers somewhat sandy. He is about 5 feet 5 1/2 or 6 inches in height and well made, and is a remarkably genteel looking person and dresses quite handsomely. He had on a greenish -----hard to read coat? cut shad bellied, dark overcoat and dark pants. He sports two gold chains and two very large rings, one on each little finger. I am very anxious to have it in my power to take by the hand the above immoral gentlemen, and will cheerfully give the above mentioned reward. JOHN R.
