Obituary (Ikirt) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Columbiana County OhArchives Obituaries.....Ikirt, Jacob J. May 18 1897 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/oh/ohfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Sheila Fritts sfritts101@hotmail.com June 15, 2004, 8:24 pm East Liverpool Crisis 18 May 1897 pg 4 In the demise of the venerable Dr. Jacob J. Ikirt, at an early hour this morning, East Liverpool has lost another of her most prominent and respected citizens. For years past Dr. Ikirt has enjoyed the respect and honor of his townsmen and of a great circle of friends through this section of the State. The news of his death at his late home 200 Sixth street, at 1:30 a.m. was deeply felt by the community at large. For many months past Dr. Ikirt has been suffering more or less with heart trouble. Within the past three weeks he was attacked by typhoid fever, which later assumed a serious phase and a fatal case of typhoid pneumonia resulted. All day Monday and Monday night he was at death’s door and at the hour named he was finally claimed by the Grim Reaper. Dr. Jacob J. Ikirt was born near Lisbon, this county, in 1826, and was accordingly, at the time of his death, in his 71st year. His parents, George and Elizabeth Ikirt, were natives of Pennsylvania, and of sturdy Scotch-Irish decent. Dr. Ikirt was one of a family of twelve children, but two of whom remain. His early educational advantages were those afforded by the country schools. He completed these courses and in 1847, when 21 years of age, went to Newark, O., and began the study of medicine under the instruction of Dr. Stanbury, with whom he remained three years. After leaving Newark, Dr. Ikirt entered the Starling Medical College at Columbus and in 1850 he returned to his old home in Middleton township and began the practice of medicine, which he has continued actively until recent years, when his advanced age confined him more closely to his home and office. For years after being admitted to practice, and while he yet lived in the country, Dr. Ikirt conducted an extensive practice over the county, always traveling on horseback. He was in those days a familiar figure in that part of the county. He came to East Liverpool in the later part of 1875 and began the practice of medicine with an office on the Diamond where the Buckeye club building is now located. He was engaged in active practice in this city almost up to the time of his death. During his life in this city he for years owned a drug store in addition to his practice. Dr. J.J. Ikirt was a leader of the Democracy of the city and county, and his advice was always sought in party matters. He was a man of strong will and unflinching courage. In the early history of the city Dr. Ikirt was one of the leaders of the movement that made the Diamond the business center of the town. He traded a farm in West Point for a parcel of land on the east side of the Diamond, which he improved and subsequently sold at a large profit. Together with his son, Dr. George P. Ikirt, he erected the Ikirt building at the corner of Market and Fifth street, and also built a brick block on Sixth street. He was also heavily interested in land in Coffee county, Tenn. On the 5th of February, 1851, Dr. Ikirt and Miss Elizabeth Fife were married. She was the descendent of an old and respected family. For more than forty-three years they lived prosperously and happily. There were born to bless their union one son and three daughters – Dr. George P. Ikirt, who in recent years has been connected with his father professionally; and Mrs. A.H. Clark and Mrs. Mary Crow. The third daughter died in infancy. Mr. Ikirt preceded her husband a little more than three years ago to the great beyond. In her early girlhood she had connected herself with the Presbyterian church. Dr. Ikirt was also of the Presbyterian faith. For many years he was a member and a regular attendant at the First Presbyterian church, this city. For nearly fifty years Dr. Ikirt has been a Mason. He holds a membership in the Lisbon lodge which was never transferred to this city. In philanthropic, church and public works he was always interested and never tired. His career and success resulted from honesty and manly effort. Ever since the death of his wife the venerable doctor has been failing in health. His nearest friends were frequently alarmed at his condition. Arrangements for the funeral are not yet completed. Rev. Dr. Lee of the First Presbyterian church, will officiate and other city ministers will take part. Services will be conducted at the late residence of the deceased at 2 p.m. Thursday.

McLain, a well known resident of that place. The unfortunate girl was engaged in hanging a picture on the wall, above an open grate, and was standing on a chair to do so, when her clothing caught fire. She was alone in the upstairs room of the house when this occurred and her screams brought Mrs. William Dawson, a neighbor, in the house. She met Miss Florence at the head of the stairway enveloped in flames. She at once dashed forward and endeavored to smother the flames, but before she could do so the fatal beast of the fire had reached the lungs of its victim. Mrs. Dawson severely burned her arms and face in her heroic attempt to quench the flames. The young lady lingered in agony from 7 o’clock until 4:30 this morning when death ended her sufferings. Her funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon, interment being in the Calcutta U.P. church cemetery. Deceased was about 18 years of age and well known in this city. She had just finished her education to become a music teacher, and was beloved an admired by all who knew her.
