Amy A. Thompson was born near Lebanon, December 14, 1829, being one in a large family of whom seven grew to maturity, and three of whom yet remain with us. She was married December 24, 1856 to David R. Cowan, who preceeded her to the better world almost twenty three years. Their two children, Ida M., who has most tenderly cared for her mother all her later years, and Harry E. with his wife and their children mourn the loss of the best of mothers, and a most patient and loving grandmother. She passed to her reward May 17, 1910, being aged 80 year, five months and three days – full of years and with the honor and esteem of all who have been influenced by her life. The deceased possessed in a remarkable degree the beautiful and helpful grace of patience. It was specially manifest in her treatment of children. During her last illness she was as patient as when in the full enjoyment of perfect health. Not a single complaining or impatient word escaped her lips. She has gone from us, but with a preparation for the sinless and joyous life of heaven which means gain, not loss.

COWAN. Sunday morning David R. Cowan, one of the most respected citizens of the county, died at his home, west of Lebanon, after an illness of some weeks, which was more the result of his advanced age than anything else. He was born in this township on the sixteenth day of January, 1829, being, therefore, in his fifty-ninth year. His parents were Charles and Jane (McPherson) Cowan. His grandfather moved to Turtlecreek township in 1800 and the family have always lived near where he settled. Mr. Cowan, born on a farm, grew to manhood as a farmer. He was a quiet man and sought and held no offices. He was universally known as an upright, honest citizen and his death is mourned by a wide circle of friends. In 1856 he married Amy A. Thompson, who survives him, together with a son and daughter. The funeral services were held at the residence on Tuesday morning. Rev. Dr. J. P. Scott officiating.

[communicated] Died, in this town, on the morning of the 6th inst., after an illness of ten days, Mr. GEORGE FOGLESONG, in the 48th year of his age. In the death of this excellent man, our village, where he has resided for twenty five years, has been deprived of one of its most valuable, and public spirited citizens; the poor have lost a friend to whose heart the claims of distress were never presented in vain; and the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he was a leading and worthy member for more than thirty years, has been bereaved of one of her brightest ornaments. In his life, it may be truly said, the transcendant excellencies of religion shone forth with peculiar luster, and by all who knew him his memory will long be cherished, with affection. A little more than two weeks previous to his death, he was called to mourn the loss of the wife of his bosom, who like him departed with the blessings of society upon her head, and the comforts of religion in her heart; thus speedily has the providence of heaven called him to reunite in the paradise of God, with her who was the partner of his sorrows and his joys in this world. Five children are left to weep and lament at the loss of their earthly parents and many connexions & friends with them commingle their tears; but they sorrow not as those who have no hope.” His funeral was attended by a large concourse of citizens, and an appropriated sermon delivered on the occasion, by the Rev. D. D. Dyche from 37th verse of the 37th psalm. “Our friend is dead – dead did I say? O! no he lives in everlasting day; In purest climes with all the blest, He lives in everlasting rest.” Source: The Western Star 9 Jul 1831 [copy obtained from obituary collection at the Warren County Genealogical Society] File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/oh/warren/obits/fogleson112gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/ohfiles/ File size: 2.5 Kb ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #6 Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2006 01:12:54 -0400 From: Archives To: OH-BMD-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <200604210512.k3L5Csc32648@genrecords.org> Subject: Oh-Warren Co. Obituary (Corwin) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Warren County OhArchives Obituaries.....Corwin, Thomas January 3, 1866 ************************************************ 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: Arne H Trelvik atrelvik@earthlink.net April 21, 2006, 1:12 am Quincy, Illinois: The Daily Whig and Republican, 3 Jan 1866 http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohwarren/Obits/corwin.htm#ThomasCorwin Last Hours of the Late Thomas Corwin. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, describing the closing scene of the life of the Ohio statesman, says that on the evening when he was stricken down, Mr. Corwin was at a social party at Mr. Wetmore’s. He was in the best of spirits, and looked better than his friends remembered seeing him for months. But a few days before he had returned from his Ohio home, where he had gone to attend the wedding of his youngest daughter. His faculties seemed all attuned and stimulated by the pleasant incident; as well as by the warm and affectionate greetings with which he was received. Making his way through the crowd of men who had grown into prominence under his eye, he was seated at the side of the room, and at once drawn into animated talk. His old and favorite law student, Gen. Schenck, came to talk of the home wedding; Chief Justice Chase hastened to greet him; Senator Ben. Wade installed himself by his side, and begged him to tell a favorite story. I have not seen him for ten years past, so much like the old Tom Corwin of my boyhood, said Gen. Durbin Ward, his law student and subsequently his partner. “There’s but one Tom Corwin in the world,” enthusiastically exclaimed another as he moved back a little out of the group where he had been swallowing every syllable. Thus surrounded by the brilliant and distinguished in the State, old rivals and antagonists meeting him with admiring warmth, seeing all about him the men who had grown up under him, every one attentive to his lowest tone and slightest gesture, Governor Corwin must have regarded it as one of the sunniest episodes in his downward way of life. By and by supper was announced. Ben Wade took his arm, helped him at the staircase, and found a seat for him on a sofa. He would eat nothing – only taking a couple of oysters and a glass of water. But his flow of genial anecdote and sparkling wit, varied now and then by one of those touches of pathos and one of those suggestive and far-reaching political reflections he knew so well how to apply continued with unabated brilliancy. Some of the Ohio belles who grace the capital were on the other side of the room; but even from them he drew away listeners, till he and Wade who sat beside him on the sofa, were fairly hemmed in by a circle that embrace half the people in the room. His tones, however, grew unusually low; and men were bending down, trying to catch every syllable. He had been talking of Brazil; and replying to a remark or our consul at Rio Janeiro, who had just been speaking to him of Don Pedro, the Emperor, he said: “yes, Don Pedro, I’m sure, is a fine man, what, in fact, we would call, sir, (with the indescribable epitome of all possible jokes in the sudden play of his features,) in our country a popular man. Why, sir, so highly do I rate his popular qualities that if we had him in Warren county we’d elect him Sheriff – no mean test of popularity, sir.” Then he began to speak of Mexico, first in the same jocose vein, telling how, when they began shooting and cutting throats all around and within sight of the capital, he came to the conclusion that the country didn’t suit a gentleman of steady habits, and so he came home. “A Frenchman came to me – a smart fellow whom Maximillian sent. He would be so distressed if because the French flag came the American flag should leave – confound his politeness. But, if I had to govern Mexico under the Empire, I’d make that Frenchman Emperor.” From this he diverged into more serious talk of Mexican affairs; speaking with all his old fervor, and gesticulating freely. For a few sentences his tones gradually grew lower, so that even Wade, sitting at his side, could not hear – then his dead dropped on his breast – a common motion with him when he had finished a train of thought. The strained attention of the circle was broken, and men began to notice that the room was oppressively warm. Wade rose to get a breath of fresh air, and there was a general movement. Suddenly Gov. Corwin was observed to extend his hands as if groping in the dark, and to say, “Room, a little room; it is very warm.” Some one took him by the arm and helped him to rise; and a hurried whisper ran around, “Make room for Gov. Corwin – he is fainting with the heat.” One and another aiding him he tottered to the door. Durbin Ward was now trying to hold him up, but his wounded arm was too weak, and he called to Garfield; another sprang down the staircase in front, and helped to support his weight. The feet of the stricken old statesman dragged helplessly behind him. He was carried in and laid down on a bed in an adjacent chamber. His right hand was lifted up and laid over his breast – it fell helplessly back upon the bed. The case was plain – his whole right side was paralyzed. He had not spoken since he asked in the supper room for fresh air; but as he noted the shocked expression with which those about him saw the right hand fall he lifted up his other, opened and shut the fingers, as if to say, “I know what has happened; but this you see is all right.” Some threw up the windows, piled wet towels on his forehead, and tore open his collar, others hurried out for doctors; still others piled blankets on the lower part of his person. Observing his wistful look, I bent over and asked him if the pillows were properly adjusted, or if we could do anything more for him till the doctor came. The response was in a whisper but quite audible, “No, it will do very well.” Beyond a simple “Yes” or “No,” once or twice repeated in answer to questions within the next hour, they were his last words. He lay, gasping sometimes as if in suffocation; then again for a few moments breathing easily. Presently Col. Bliss, an army surgeon, the first medical man who could be found, hurried in. He asked scarcely a question, lifted the lifeless hand, felt the pulse of wrist and temples, and we read his hopeless verdict in his face as he turned away to order mustard plasters, and whatever other poor services medical skill could bring to bear against the inevitable. A few moments later Dr. Lincoln entered; then soon afterward Surgeon General Barnes. They agreed on what had been done, and on the utter uselessness of all their well-meant efforts.

Mrs. Gallaher moved to this neighborhood in the winter of 1796, and with her husband, the late Samuel Gallaher, and two children then born, formed the fourth family of settlers in this neighborhood. Ichabod Corwin, John Shaw and Henry Taylor had preceded Mr. Gallaher some months. The latter being a millwright, in 1797 built a mill for Henry Taylor on Turtlecreek about a quarter of a mile below the fork of the creek, west of Lebanon, which for some twelve years did a considerable business, and being the first mill in the neighborhood, was a valuable improvement. In 1803, Mr. Taylor sold this mill and the farm connected to it to Martin Earheart, Sen., who kept it running until the water gradually lessening in the summer, made the mill seat valueless, and it was abandoned. Mrs. Gallaher was at her death almost 89 years full, her birthday being in June, and until about a year before her death, had enjoyed not only good health, but retained her physical powers with uncommon vigor, and to the time of her first paralytic attack, in February, 1861, was strong and active. Born and reared to womanhood some thirty miles south of Pittsburg, then a new country, she was accustomed from childhood to a plain, hardy, backwoods life and exercises, and to these agencies she owed much of her strong constitution and vigorous health. Mrs. Gallaher was hardly ever sick, I think, though, frequently exposed to hardships which even men of hardy constitutions can seldom endure. In her younger days, in Western Pennsylvania where she lived, it was customary for women to enter the harvest field, and make their hand with the sickle. I have often understood from those who knew the facts, that Mrs. Gallaher wielded the sickle with such skill and endurance the few men were willing to take their land beside hers, and not unfrequently she led the field. Though women did not enter the harvest fields in this neighborhood, even in early times, yet they sometimes engaged in those sports which are now considered as only belonging to the sterner sex. Mrs. Gallaher used the rifle with as much certainty and skill as nay man, and often after settling on the farm where she and her husband died; she used to shoot turkeys, squirrels, and even larger game when they made their appearance near her residence. Mr. and Mrs. Gallaher reared nine children, all but two born in this neighborhood, some of whom survive.

The venerable Aaron Kell died at his late residence four miles east of Lebanon, on the evening of the 10th of January, 1866, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. One has passed away whose character was that of a good man. Honest in all his dealings, conscientious in the discharge of duty, unswerving in his adherence to what he believed to be right, he was, therefore, greatly valued by all who knew him. As a citizen, loyal; as a neighbor, kind and obliging; and as a friend, his affection was deep, strong and enduring. To those traits of character was added the glow of an humble and earnest piety so marked as to be undoubted. He lived his religion. To its claims everything else was subordinate. He was sincerely and intelligently attached to the doctrines and order of the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member for nearly three score years. Its schemes of benevolence enlisted his sympathies, and prayers and systematic support. In his last will, made in view of his accountability as a steward of God, he recognized the claims upon him, of those without the Gospel. His was a green, happy old age. He was spared most of its infirmities and in joyous faith and hope awaited the summons to depart. The protracted sufferings experienced in his last illness were borne with patience. He passed away calmly in the full profession of his senses, relying entirely and confidingly upon the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Death was robbed of its sting and he sank peacefully to rest. “How such holy memories cluster Like the stars when storms are past Pointing up to that fair heaven We may hope to gain at Last?” “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.” A Friend Source: The Western Star, Thursday 1 Feb 1866 [copy obtained from obituary collection at the Warren County Genealogical Society] File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/oh/warren/obits/kell116gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/ohfiles/ File size: 2.6 Kb ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #10 Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2006 01:18:22 -0400 From: Archives To: OH-BMD-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <200604210518.k3L5IMX03108@genrecords.org> Subject: Oh-Warren Co.
