The Weekly Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio. Feb 15, 1865, p. 3.
Obituary.

	The death of Charles Dewit, Esq. of Perry township, Wood county, will 
attract the attention of many friends and acquaintances.  He departed this 
life, January 25th, without any warning, being in his usual health.  He came in 
from his wood-house, and when he reached his room, fell partially to the floor, 
and breathed his last, with no one but his wife present.  His remains were 
interred in the Milgrove cemetery, on the 28th.  His death is greatly 
lamented.  He leaves a wife and two sons.  His end was peace.

	Mr. Dewit was a careful reader of agricultural books and periodicals, 
and judiciously applied the knowledge thus acquired in his practical 
operations.  A man of strict entegrity [sic] and honesty of purpose, he enjoyed 
in an eminent degree, the respect and esteem of the community.  We thus 
chronicle the departure of another of the enterprising band who have done much 
for the advancement of the material, mental, and moral interests of the people 
of North Western Ohio.

	Those we love are passing from u s,

	To a fairer, brighter sphere --

	Where kindred spirits re-unite,

	Whom death hath torn asunder here.

	If this be true, how sweet to die,

	And leave this dreary world afar,

	To meet the loved ones gone before,

	And soar away from star to star.

J.K.
