The Weekly Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio. Feb 21, 1868, p. 3.
DIED.

 At his residence, on Front-street in Perrysburg, of dropsy, Ezekiel Tefft, 
aged 69 years.

	The deceased was a native of Rhode Island, but during the past twenty-
five years has resided in Wood County, and the most of that time in 
Perrysburg.  He was naturally of a strong and robust constitution, but about 
two years since he took cold, which assumed the chronic form of dropsy. Ever 
hopeful, he cheerfully combatted disease, that fell destroyer, and when Death 
came, he peacefully answered the summons whilst sitting in his chair. Mr. Tefft 
had been a member of the M. E. Church for many years ; his religious

profession was not in outward display; it partook of hopeful confidence and 
childlike simplicity. He was ever ready to oblige, or to do any kind act for 
his neighbors or friends. The law of kindness seemed to be the rule of his 
life. By his decease, the pang of sorrow will touch many hearts beside those of 
his family. But why should we mourn his departure? It is but slightly in 
advance of Our own. With him, mortality is swallowed up of life.

	His bereaved widow and children have the tender sympathies of their 
numerous friends in this, their great trouble.
