Journal,
Middletown, Ohio WIDELY-KNOWN EXCELLO RESIDENT DIES MONDAY Andrew J. McGlaughlin, 91, Operated Store in Village Until Recent Illness Andrew J. McGlaughlin, proprietor of a general store on Route Four at Excello, that was as familiar to the life of that village as the man who conducted it, died Monday morning. An illness of six weeks from pneumonia was fatal to the quaint character who was well past 91 years old and was in excellent health until the fatal siege. Born in Amanda, he often said he knew every inch of the ground in that vicinity and every person who lived in the village during his long lifetime. By young and old, he was hailed as "Andy", and his personality made his store one of the popular spots in the village. It was only in the last 16 years that he was a storekeeper, spending most of his life in the papermaking trade at the Harding Mill. In 1924, when he was boss finisher of the mill, he decided to retire, but he soon became restless and within the year had opened his store along the highway across from the paper mill and at the foot of the hill where he lived 65 years. The McGlaughlin homestead, on top of the ridge overlooking Dicks Creek, has been a landmark for several generations. Named Andrew Jackson, after one of America's Democratic patriots, he was a staunch Democrat and enjoyed many an argument over politics. Reared in the Methodist Church, of Amanda, he was one of its faithful members. Survivors are three daughters, Miss Anna McGlaughlin, who lived with her father, Mrs. Mary O'Donnell, of Franklin, and Mrs. Laura Youker of Grand Rapids, Michigan, eight sons Calvin, Truman and Austin McGlaughlin of Dayton; Hiram, Henry, Ebenezer, Perce and Richard McGlaughlin of this city; 45 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, and one sister, Mrs. James Craig, of Excello. Arrangements for the funeral are incomplete |
