Her funeral took place last Monday afternoon. Her funeral was preached by Rev. J. C. Arbuckle of the M.E. church, of which she was a member. She was in the 74th year of her age. She was the mother of a number of children. Nov 15, 1877-SUDDEN DEATH FROM GRIEF Mr Phineas Tomlinson died last Saturday morning November 10th at ten minutes past 12 o'clock of paralysis, as pronounced by Dr. Coleman, who attended him. His death was very sudden, as he had been on the street, apparently well and hearty the day before, we having shaken hands and spoken with him, and we little dreamed of his death. Mr. Tomlinson ate a hearty supper about 8 o'clock on Friday evening and went to bed shortly after, with no indications of any ailment. Close toward midnight, he appeared to become sick, when Dr. Coleman was called but medical assistance was of no avail and he died a short time after. His death was undoubtedly superinduced by grief, caused by the death of his dear wife, who died on the same day of the week, just a fortnight before. He tried to smother his sorrow in various ways but all to no avail. Mr. Tomlinson appears to have had a premonition of his death, for he is said to have told several of our citizens that he would die that night. Mr. Tomlinson was born in Loudoun County, Virginia, April 5, 1807. Was married in 1823. Came to this state and settled in Muskingum County in 1825. He came to McArthur in April 1850, having been here ever since. He had nine children but three of which are living. Those living are Jacob of this place, who now occupies the family mansion, where his father died, and is employed as engineer at the Steam Mill, John-a blacksmith, lives at Adelphi and is married, one girl, Mary, is among the survivors, she lives in Zanesville and married a man named Tomlinson, from Pennsylvania-but he is no relation. Mr. Tomlinson was a kind, good-hearted gentleman with great social propensities. He was an honest and upright man, and a number one citizen. He was universally beloved and so great was the veneration for him by the young folks, that they called him by no other name than "Uncle Phineas". He left his place of residence which has been purchased by his son Jacob-and some other personal property. His presence will be sadly missed in our community. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2002 00:13:10 -0500 From: Grambo To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <3DA7AF66.E6E44726@Prairieinet.net> Subject: [OH-FOOT] ESTATE:Shirk,1880,Franklin Co.
