CLARA METZGER RECEIVED TODAY. DECEASED WAS PIONEER RESIDENT. DEMISE OCCURRED AT LOS ANGELES, CAL. – BODY WILL ARRIVE THURSDAY. A telegram received this morning by C.E. Eckert and son, asking them to meet the 6:50 train over the C. and E. road, on Thursday morning, to care for the remains of Mrs. Clara Metzger and asking them to also notify the friends here, was the first intimation received in this city of the death of one of the best known and most cultured women of Lima. Some ten days ago Mr. E. B. Cunningham, a brother of the deceased, had a letter from California telling of the serious condition of Mrs. Metzger and that there was practically no hope of her recovery. For some three weeks she has been in the hospital in Los Angeles, Cal., and constantly by her bedside were her daughter Frances, her sister, Mrs. Snyder, and her niece. In addition to these near relatives, the little colony of Lima-ites who are in Los Angeles, had made arrangements that each day one of them would visit the hospital and remain with the invalid for an hour. In this way the last days of Mrs. Metzger’s were as full of happiness as it was possible to make them, and though she must have suffered much, her friends did everything in their power to alleviate that suffering. Mrs. Metzger was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Cunningham and was born in this city sixty-three years ago. She was married when only seventeen, to Dr. Charles Metzger, and spent her later life here, where she was known and loved by a wide circle of friends. She has traveled much and was widely read, as well. Cultured and refined, she was a splendid conversationalist and knew how to tell others the many things she knew. Two children, both daughters, survive her, the younger daughter, Miss Frances, being with her at the time of her death, and the other, Dora, Baroness Patterson, residing in the far-off capital of Portugal, Lisbon. About eighteen months ago Mrs. Metzger paid a long visit to the latter and had intended going to California soon after her return to this country. The trip was delayed until the latter part of November, however, when on account of her health, it became imperative that something be done and she departed, the western climate having greatly helped her before. Her health did not improve this time as hoped for, and she declined until her entrance to the hospital a few weeks ago was followed by the death yesterday. The brother mentioned above, Mr. E. B. Cunningham, two cousins, Mrs. O. W. Smith and Mrs. Mary Hall, and all the later Cunningham connection are relatives. It is not possible to make any announcement whatever in regard to the funeral arrangements, but these will be given to the public as soon as the remains arrive in the city."

Hutchison succumbs to Paralysis After Long Illness. Deceased Came to Lima Thirty Nine Years Ago. Served in Public Office as Justice, Solicitor and Probate Judge. Hon. John Hutchison, former judge of the probate and juvenile courts of Allen county, former city solicitor, former justice of the peace, prominent member of the Allen county bar, venerable and highly respected citizen, died at his late home, 233 south Cole street at 6 o’clock Thursday morning, his death being due to paralysis and a general break-down in health and vitality, following his last illness which was of about three weeks’ duration. He had been in declining health for about four years and during the last siege of his attack his condition had been so critical that since Monday it had been known by the watchers at his bedside that there was little if any possible chance for recovery. The end, which was not unexpected, came peacefully, the venerable patient sinking into the final sleep of death as if he were passing and peaceful and restful slumber. Judge Hutchison was a citizen of a high standard of character and integrity who will be missed by the hundreds of staunch friends whose confidence and friendships he commanded. Having retired from the office of judge of the probate and juvenile courts of the county only a few months ago, Judge Hutchison was familiar in public life and affairs of the city and county and he will be missed in the circles of men of affairs and in the councils of his chosen political party, the democracy of the city and county. SIXTY EIGHT YEARS OF AGE The venerable jurist and lawyer was 68 years of age. He was born in Monroe county, Ohio, on July 10, 1845 and was one of a family of six children born to Alexander C. and Rachel (Nelson) Hutchison. His father was a native of Washington county, Penna., and his mother was a native of Ireland. Both of the parents are dead, the father dying at a ripe old age in 1894. John N. Hutchison was a student at the Washington and Jefferson college at Washington, Penna., and graduated in the class of 1872. James G. Blaine, noted statesman and orator and one-time candidate for the presidency, was present at the graduation, celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of his own graduation from the same college. After leaving college, Mr. Hutchison read law in the office of Bridge Cracraft at Wheeling W. Va., and was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court of West Virginia in 1874. In the same year he was admitted to the practice of law in Ohio and in the fall of that year he came to this city and formed a partnership with Martin L. Becker, now a former judge of the probate and juvenile courts of this county. This partnership was dissolved two years later and Mr. Hutchison formed a partnership with the late Judge John E. Ritchie. Later the old firm of Hutchison & Becker was re-established and it continued for a number of years until Mr. Hutchison began to practice alone. Mr. Hutchison was always active in local politics as a democrat and served in public office as a justice of the peace, as city solicitor and concluded his careen in public life by serving two terms as probate judge. ONE DAUGHTER SURVIVES After locating in this city, Mr. Hutchison claimed for his life companion, Emily C. Cunningham, daughter of James Cunningham, one of Lima’s pioneer citizens and veterans of the civil war, now deceased. To this marriage were born two children, Miss Halce Hutchison and Clarence C. Hutchison. The latter enlisted in the United States Calvary during the Spanish-American war and while in the service he suffered exposures in camp life that led to an attack of consumption from which he died in 1898. The daughter is now the only surviving member of the immediate family. She has been her father’s comfort and housekeeper since the death of Mrs. Hutchison several years ago and was at his bedside constantly throughout his illness. Judge Hutchison was prominent in fraternal order circles, being a member of Lima Lodge of Elks, of Lima Lodge of the Knights of Pythias and of Lima Lodge No. 581, I.O.O.F. Deceased was also a member of the congregation of the Market Street Presbyterian church and the funeral will be held from that church on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock. The pastor, Rev. Thomas Knox, will conduct the services at the church. Interment will be made in Woodlawn cemetery."

OBITUARY. Died, on Sunday evening last, at his residence adjacent to this town – of a wound which he had received a few days before, from the kick of a horse – ICHABOD CORWIN, Sen. [http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohwarren/Bios/bios_main.htm#IchabodCorwin] He was born in New Jersey, in the year 1766. In the early part of the revolutionary war his Father removed with his family to the west of the Alleghany Mountains, and settled near Brownsville in what is now Fayette county, Penn. There the subject of this memoir resided until he was grown to maturity and married. Shortly afterwards he migrated to Kentucky and purchased a farm in Bourbon county, where he resided seven or eight years. >From Kentucky he came to the N. W. Territory, as it was then called, and settled on the spot where he died. When he came here – which was in the spring of 1796 – he had a wife and three children, to which ten more were added during his residence in this place; all of whom except one survives him, and with their disconsolate mother feel and lament their loss. Those who speak of departed friends & acquaintances are prone to exaggerate, & hold up to view the fairer portion of character and to conceal, or, at least to throw into shade any foibles or defects that the subject of narrative was subject to. Whether this propensity be nearest allied to virtue or vice, I will not undertake to decide. But consistent with truth and with out all exaggeration it may be averred that few men possess qualities more to be approved and less to be condemned than Mr. Corwin. Not indeed that he had any claim to great or shining talents, or such qualifications as command the applause or admiration of the world; but that he possessed in no small degree, the more humble and less attractive virtues of integrity, prudence, economy and benevolence; peaceableness and good will to all his fellow creatures. As a proof of this it may not be improper to mention that from the blessing of heaven on his industry, prudence, and frugality, he became possessed of a comparatively large landed estate. The consequence of which was that for the last 35 years of his life, he was never without a number of tenants – and all know that nothing is more common that disputes between landlord and tenant. But in his case, rarely such a thing as a contest between him and a tenant was ever heard of, and from a personal knowledge, the writer of this article can affirm that scarcely a single tenant ever left his premises, whose property was not improved during his tenancy. This circumstance had at least struck the writer the more forcibly, as in the mean time he has observed the tenants of some wealthy land-lords never leave the premises but in extreme poverty or absolute insolvency. To the above might be added many other facts illustrative of his virtues and conduct, but which are omitted lest it might be thought that I was composing a panegyrick, instead of exhibiting a real character. As he was one of the pioneers of the west his house and family became for many years the refuge of the newcomer and the weary traveler. And in his own vicinity few cases of private distress or public exigency have occurred in which he has not taken an active part and been a prominent agent. Such was his character, such his principles and such his conduct, that in the church where he has long been a beloved and respected member and in the neighborhood where he lived, he has left a vacancy that must remain long, perhaps forever, unsupplied.

SARAH CORWIN. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohwarren/Obits/corwin.htm#SarahGriffinCorwin This venerable lady, the wife of the late Ichabod Corwin, Sen., died at the residence of her son, R. G. Corwin, Esq., on Tuesday morning last, the 3d inst., at four o’clock. We are indebted to a friend for the following interesting facts in relation to her life and character. Mrs. Corwin was born in the year 1772, and was consequently 81 years old. When but 8 years of age, her father was killed by the Indians near the place now called Brownsville, Pa. Her mother soon after followed – the shock from the massacre of her husband being too great for her then enfeebled condition. The deceased removed about 1787 with her elder brothers to Kentucky, where in 1789, she was united to Ichabod Corwin, long and favorably known in this community, and who died from the kick of a horse in 1834. Mrs. Corwin removed with her husband and three children, to the farm on which they both died, adjoining and then including the present site of Lebanon, in May, 1796, soon after which their fourth child was born, and who was the first white child born within the limits of this county. On this farm, and during most of that entire period in the same house, Mrs. Corwin lived upwards of 57 years, forty of which were spent with her husband. They here raised a family of 13 children, 7 sons and 6 daughters, 9 of whom are still living, and were present at her funeral. Mrs. Corwin possessed great energy of character and a strong mind, retaining her memory and intellect to the last. She could ever adapt herself to the necessities of providential circumstances; and therefore endured the hardships and dangers of a pioneer life with great fortitude. To show the readiness with which she accommodated herself to the necessities of the times, it may be mentioned as one instance which will show something of the condition of pioneer life in her youth, that the evening on which they landed their goods at a new cabin just erected on their farm, and which had not yet had doors cut out, she at once assisted her husband in cutting a door, by working one end of the cross cut saw; and while others were engaged in necessary arrangements for the preservation of the cattle, she took a puncheon prepared for a floor to their cabin, and out of it with axe and auger prepared a table on which the family ate their first meal in their new home. To show the condition of this country at that time, it may be also stated that the first season of their residence here, the Indians stole all of Mr. Corwin’s horses, and almost deprived him of raising a crop. He, however, went back to Kentucky and procured a yoke of oxen, with which he made out to raise corn to supply his family. Mrs. Corwin at an early age made a profession of Religion, and became a member of the Regular Baptist Church as early, it is believed, as 1794. She was a member of the first Baptist Church in this county, constituted in 1797 – at Clearcreek – a branch of which was organized in 1798, and a meeting house built on the Ministerial Section, a half mile east of Lebanon. In this connexion she remained during life, and consequently had been a member of the church for upwards of 60 years. During all the changes around her – sometimes among the members of her own church – and especially during the great revival of 1800, which for a time seemed to carry all before it, and though productive of much genuine piety, was too often accompanied by extravagant and fanatical opinions, and exercises, Mrs. Corwin remained the same. In truth, she was emphatically a Bible Christian. It was to the Bible she looked, especially the new Testament; and her fellowship for Christians was measured by their conformity in views and practice to the law of Christ as recorded in the New Testament. Always zealous in the cause of her Redeemer, his Church on earth was the subject of her chief concern – the burden of her conversation, and the object of her solicitude. The house of Mr. and Mrs. Corwin was ever the welcome home of the wearied pioneer, and also of the early Baptist emigrants to all parts of the Miami Valley. At the Primitive associational gatherings of the newly constituted Churches in this county, they often entertained more than one hundred person at one time, and all were welcome, and gladly received and entertained. Mrs. Corwin lived to see her large family all settled in the world, and many of them members of the Church, which, with her, was the great event of their lives, and one which she looked and prayed for with the deepest solicitude. All of their thirteen children lived to have families, and at a semi-centennial anniversary of their first settlement in this place in 1846, there were 98 of her descendants present, and about 18 absent, making them in all about 116. Since that time there have been an increase, of course, but how many they would now number has not been ascertained, probably not less than 130.
