The deceased had been in his usual health until about a week ago when he suffered an attack of indigestion. He was soon relieved of this attack but his recovery was not complete and it was soon learned that some obstruction in his bowels was causing his sickness, and that a surgical operation would be necessary. On Sunday Dr W C Frew of Coshocton assisted by Dr R B Bainter, the attending physician and Dr E C Carr of Coshocton performed an operation on the afflicted man. They found that the trouble was due to a very complicated condition of the intestines which resulted from an unnatural growth that had been formed there, probably several years ago. The patient rallied from the operation, but the physicians knew that his condition was such that he could not live. The deceased was the son of David Gress, Sr and was a native of Adams Township and lived there nearly all of his life. He was a man who made friends wherever he went and he was everywhere respected for his jovial disposition and his many kind expressions. He lived every day the same and notwithstanding that he suffered much from a crippled limb, he always appeared happy and well contented. He had implicit confidence in his friends and took great interest in the welfare of his fellowman. He will be greatly missed among his circle of friends as well as in his family circle. After reaching manhood, David Gress married Catharine Haller an estimable woman, who was his comforting companion for him, as well as an able helper in all business transactions through their married life. Besides this affectionate wife, seven children, four boys and three girls mourn the departure of their kind and loving father. One brother George Gress of Belvoir, Kansas and two sisters, Mrs Jacob Roller of Menoken, Kansas and Mrs Elizabeth Zimmer of near Coshocton are also left to mourn the death of their brother. The deceased was 55 years of age at the time of his death. Funeral services will be conducted by Rev N N Harter, Wednesday forenoon at the Zion Lutheran Church, where the deceased had been a member for a number of years.

GRESS, David, Born 10 March 1813 in Buhl, Alsace, France Died 6 August 1899. * Mr Gress was a Charter Member of the Zion Congregation. His parents were Jean George Gress and Marie Elizabeth Guker.

DEATH OF DAVID GRESS

David Gress, Sr, died at his home in Adams Township, Sunday afternoon at the advanced age of 86 years, after a short illness of cholera morbus. He had been in delicate health for several years but was able to be about until within a very short time of his death. The deceased was one of the pioneer Germans who settled in Adams Township. Being a native of Germany, he always clung to the language of his fatherland, but was able to converse in the English language. He loved the land of his adoption and saw his children and grandchildren grow up true American men and women. He was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church, faithful in attendance and conscientious in his belief. He admired true manhood and never failed to bestow words of praise upon those who showed him acts of kindness. In his death, another old landmark is removed. His companion was taken from him several years ago, and but very few of his early friends are still living. The following children are left to mourn the death of their affectionate father, George Gress of Belvoir, Kansas, Catharine Roller of Menoken, Kansas, Elizabeth Zimmer of Coshocton County and David Gress of Adams Township. The funeral will take place today (Tuesday) at 10:30 o'clock from the Zion Lutheran Church, services being conducted by Rev H H Bachman, pastor of the church.

Death Angel
Comes To An Adams Township Home

Miss Clara Sandel, of Adams Township, died at her home near Zion church last Friday night after an illness of four weeks. She had been afflicted with sciatic rheumatism for some time, but heart trouble was the immediate cause of death.

Miss Sandel was 22 years old and had a host of warm friends and associates in this part of the county.

To be stricken down in the bloom of womanhood, when the pleasures of life had just begun to spread before her, and when avenues of usefulness were open to her, was a severe blow to both family and friends. But they have the assurance that all things ordered by the All Wise Father work together for good.

Clara goes to join hands with her father, whose spirit some three years ago was wafted to its eternal home where, he is waiting to be joined by her young and tender spirit whose pilgrimage had been too short here to be blurred by cares and anxieties of natural life. Now they together are anxiously waiting the Death Angel's, call as one by one the family comes to meet them on the other shore.

Miss Sandel was once a pupil of the editor's and her many virtues well remembered by him. She was generous. mild, courteous and was greatly admired by all school mates and companions. By her death the family loses a lovable daughter, and sister and the church a willing worker.

She was a consistent member of the Zion Lutheran Church, from which place probably one of the largest funeral services ever held there, took place Sunday forenoon conducted by Rev Dozer.

VALENTINE SANDEL DEAD
A Useful Man called from Earth -.

His spirit has fled from the body, and his mortal remains have bee received by the grave into the bosom of the earth which gave it. Such it becomes the sad duty of the REGISTER to chronicle, in regard to Valentine Sandel, of Adams Township, whose death is yet so fresh in memory of his relatives and friends. it is certainly surprising to hear of the death of, one who is supposed to have yet many years to live, and regardless of the fact that many such instances are happening, mankind never has become accustomed to them and never will. About two weeks before his death Mr Sandel was taken quite sick with pneumonia and pleurisy and he continued to grow worse until death relived him of his sufferings. Valentine Sandel was born May 9, 1847, and at the age of 17,m he united with the Zion Lutheran Church, where he remained an active member until an All wise Providence called him from earth. In 1871, he was married to Miss Wilhelmina Hahn, to which union five children were born-three sons and two daughters--four of whom are living and one dead. In early life Mr Sandel worked at the carpenter trade and was a successful mechanic. A few years since he quit the trade and engaged in farming in which occupation he was no less successful. Some time last winter he contracted the La gripe, which affected his lungs and no doubt was the indirect cause of his death, which occurred last Wednesday, September 28, 1892. The foregoing is only a brief sketch of the life of a useful and respected man whose spirit has returned to the giver. God in his wisdom has taken him away, and it is the duty of all to bow in submission. The funeral services were conducted Friday by rev H K Gebhart in the Zion Lutheran Church, and were largely attended. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community.

Passes Away

After a brief illness of heart and nervous trouble, V J Thresh, a prominent farmer and well known citizen died from an attack of apoplexy at his home in Adams Township about 3 o'clock Sunday morning, March 3, 1912. Although it was known that his illness was serious, nevertheless his death was a great schock to his relatives and numerous friends.

A SUDDEN CALL

Valentine Thresh, a well known and highly respected farmer of Monroe Township was found dead in bed last Friday forenoon. He had attended the Coshocton Fair on Thursday, returning home about 7 o'clock in the evening. At this time he showed no signs of illness, as he ate a hearty supper and then went to the barn and turned the horse he had driven into a pasture field. He then told his son Jacob and wife, who live in the same house with him some things he had observed at the fair and at his usual time retired to his room. In the night he was heard either raising or lowering the window and soon afterward his son opened the door of his fathers room and asked him if he wanted anything. Receiving no answer, he supposed his father had gone to sleep and he concluded not to disturb him. Sometime afterward he heard his father coughing, but gave it little thought. This was probably about 3 o'clock in the morning. When breakfast had been prepared in the morning and Mr Thresh did not get up, it created no alarm as he frequently arose late in the morning. After breakfast Charles and Jacob Thresh the two sons of the deceased got ready to start with a load of apples which they had previously prepared to the mill for the purpose of making cider. Just before starting Jacob Thresh asked his wife if his father had got up and received a negative reply, told her to let him rest as he was at the fair the day before and was probably very tired. About 9 o'clock, when he had still not arose his daughter-in-law became uneasy and going to his room called him. Not receiving any answer, she became alarmed and dreading to make an investigation alone notified Mrs William Thresh who is a near neighbor and the two entered the room to find Mr Thresh cold in death. Valentine Thresh was born in Germany in February 1827 and was in the 74th year of his age when called so suddenly from this world. When a boy his parents brought him to this country and settled in Adams Township. Upon reaching manhood he was married to Salome Roahrig and seven children were born to them, four boys and three girls. Mrs Thresh died about 23 years ago and since that time four of the children have followed her to the grave. The deceased bore these bereavements in Manly spirit trusting in his Heavenly Father for help and guidance in all his afflictions of sorrow and trouble. For many years the deceased has been troubled with polypuses of the nose which at times made it difficult to understand him when talking. About three years ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis and since that time he has been in rather delicate health. Squire G T Riney of Otsego, held an inquest over the remains and pronounced death due to heart disease. The surviving children are Charles and Jacob Thresh of Monroe Township and Mrs Mary Brannon of near Birds Run. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon at the Zion Lutheran Church, at which place the deceased had been a faithful and influential member for many years. The services were conducted by Rev H H Bachman and the remains were buried in the cemetery at that place.
