JOSEPH CLAUDE MENEGAY JR.   Died May 19, 1889
     The grim reaper has called to his last rest another of the sturdy
pioneers of this locality in the person of Joseph C. Menegay, who died
Saturday of typhoid pneumonia. He was born June 19, 1815,  lacking one month
of being 74 years old. 
     A little over twelve months since the Herald published a sketch of Mr.
Menegay's life and experiences, from which we glean the following:
     He was born in the eastern part of France, from whence he emigrated  with
his father's  family in 1828. Their voyage from their native place to this
country was a long and tedious one, but all arrived safely in about four
months. Mr. Menegay, Sr. purchased 320 acres west of town from the Ulrich
Shively estate, where the subject of our sketch grew up and on a part of which
he has since resided. He is known to everyone hereabouts as an honest,
hardworking, God fearing gentleman, and his death brings sorrow to hundreds of
relatives and friends. 
     The funeral was very largely attended on Tuesday morning, and a general
expression of sympathy and sorrow pervaded the assemblage.
     The family wishes us to express to the friends how very grateful they are
to all who so willingly lent a helping hand in their time of bereavement.
