collecting agents, died at his home at Shelby Tuesday of last week,
after a long illness from a disease that baffled medical skill.
While some thought he had consumption, others thought different, and
to ascertain the cause of his death a postmortem was held
Wednesday. The examination showed that he had suffered from a
complication of diseases. His lungs were diseased and there were
also indications of Bright's disease. His stomach was out of
place, blackened and ill-shaped, which was the cause of him not being
able to retain food. -- [Bellville

Jamison,
Oliver B.
-- Oliver B. Jamison breathed his last at noon
Sunday. On last Tuesday evening he was stricken with a sever
hemorrhage of the lungs while on his way to his home, 116 Vennum
Avenue. He was taken into the residence of C.A. Shouse, at 53
Douglas Avenue, where he remained. His condition continued to be
exceedingly critical and Saturday evening a report gained circulation
that he had expired. Under the best of medical care and with all
attention possible, he, however, lingered until Sunday. O.B.
Jamison was born near Cadiz, O., July 28, 1867, and consequently was
in the twenty-seventh year of his life. He was the youngest son
of Hon. John C. Jamison and wife, who, with their son, Clark B., and
son-in-law, Rev. W.H. Vincent, were present at his death. Mr.
Jamison attended the public schools of Cadiz for a number of years and
afterwards spent two years in Franklin College at New Athens, O.
On obtaining his majority he embarked in the mercantile business in
his native town of Cadiz, but removed to Mansfield in March of
1888. In connection with a partner he opened a carpet store on
Main Street. The year following the partnership was dissolved,
Mr. Jamison carrying on the business alone and adding furniture and
upholstering. He did a prosperous business and in 1892 erected a
fine business block on Park Avenue West, where he carried on business
until June of the present year when, like many older and more
experienced business men, he became involved in financial
difficulties. But reassuming control of the work in September,
he was just beginning to surmount his financial troubles when he was
called to his reward. Just one week before his death he had
acted as pall bearers at the funeral of his deceased friend, Mr. Frank
A. Johnston. The day was wintry and he contracted a severe cold,
which developed into pneumonia and caused his death. Mr. Jamison
was a member of Mansfield Lodge, No. 35, F. and A.M., and Mansfield
Chapter, No. 28, Royal Arch Masons, and of the United Presbyterian
Church. A short funeral service was conducted this morning by
Rev. F.B. Foster at the late residence on Vennum Avenue. The
funeral party left this morning at 8:45 via the B.&O. to Newark
thence over the Panhandle to Cadiz, O., where the funeral proper will
take place from the residence of his parents, on Tuesday at one
o'clock. Interment in the cemetery at Cadiz. On March 15,
1893, the deceased was married to Miss Alice Reynolds, of Ashland, who
has the sympathy of a host of friends in her untimely
bereavement. -- [Richland Shield &

To them were born eight children. Five daughters and one son remain
to mourn his loss. In 1835, father Jaques moved out to his farm five
miles south of town and lived there until 1882, when he removed to
Shelby. He was a man of powerful constitution, and which served him
well in his younger days, when he drove cattle to the Eastern cities
and had to ford streams, face dangers and endure hardships. For a
number of years his house was the stopping and preaching place of
the pioneer ministers. Some of these are well known to fame, such as
Adam Poe, Russel Bigelow, Quigley and Bishop Harris. About 1840 he
was instrumental in the building of Bigelow chapel which was built
on his farm. For fifty years Father Jaques was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church and constant subscriber for the Western
Christian Advocate from its commencement. He bore his
suffering patiently and died in the triumphs of the Gospel of peace.
The funeral services were held at his late residence, Monday
morning, February 16th, 1891, conducted by his pastor, Rev. G. A.
Reeder, Jr., and his remains were interred in the Mansfield cemetery

Jenner, Abraham -- It becomes our
duty to chronicle the death of Hon. Abraham Jenner of Crestline on Sabbath
afternoon, January 31st., 1869, from a stroke of palsy. He was sitting
with his family a few moments before, apparently in good health, after
having made a professional visit to a family, whose physician he had been
ever since he commenced to practice. He was noticed to rise and walk
into an adjoining room. His daughter soon heard a heavy fall and
hastened to the room her father had entered, found him prostrated on the
floor. She stooped to raise him when he opened his eyes and almost
immediately expired in her arms. Dr. Jenner was
sixty-five years of age, had resided in Crestline over ten years, had
practiced medicine in the counties of Richland and Crawford for upward of
thirty years. We first
learned to know Dr. Jenner while he was a member of the Ohio Legislature in
1857, as the colleague of Col. Ralston from Richland Co., the last time we
had two members in the House from this county. We know that he was
universally esteemed by the House as a candid, honest man -- possessed of
good judgment, and sound discretion in all matters of public interest, and
one who had the good will of the entire House. In saying this, we pay
the highest tribute possible to the worth of the deceased, for no one can
pass the scrutiny of a public assembly where he comes in daily contact with
others, without being put severely to the test, and he who gains the love of
his fellows, is assuredly worthy of it. [Shelby Independent News:

was married to Elizabeth Foglesong in 1832, and by whom he had twelve
children; six sons and six daughters. Mrs. Johns died in

Johnson, Clarence Clifton --
Clarence Clifton Johnson, the 5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. N.B. Johnson,
living south of Ontario, died Sunday afternoon at about 2 o'clock of
strangulation caused by the swallowing of a pin, which he was carrying in his
mouth. The child had just come home from Sunday School and as he was
wearing a bright new sweater he was asked to change it before dinner. He
pulled off the sweater and put on his waist which is fastened with a pin at the
band. There was no pin in it and his father told him to go to his mother
just across the room for a pin. After getting the pin he put it in his
mouth and started to run toward his father when he stumbled and fell.
Arising from the floor he told the father that he swallowed something and that
it was sticking him in his stomach. In a few seconds the child was
unconscious and 8 minutes after the accident life was extinct without having
regained consciousness. Dr. Milligan, of Ontario, was called and he worked
with the child but to no avail. The funeral services will be held on
Tuesday at 1:30 p.m., at the U.P. church at Ontario, and will be conducted by
the Rev. Mr. Hanna. -- [Bellville Messenger: 13

mortem revealed that it was a collar button, which lodged in the throat.

Jones,
J.A. (Dr.)
Jones, Jerry -- At about 4:00 Sunday morning
Daniel Sweitzer was returning home from a visit to his best girl at Lucas when
he noticed a light at the corner of a frame building owned and occupied as a
farm implement wareroom by John S. Charles. Sweitzer thought nothing of
the light, as he supposed somebody was building a fire. A few moments
later he passed the place again and this time he found that the building was on
fire. South of the frame was a two
story brick block, fronting on the main street sixty feet. The corner room
was occupied by I.C. Charles, son of the owner of the building, and in it was a
well stocked country store. Upstairs was occupied also, by Dr. Culler as
an office. The other part of the building
was occupied by John S. Charles and wife, and Rev. Heibertshousen as
residences. Sweitzer accordingly alarmed the owner of the building and the
other parties interested. The church bells were tolled
and a large crowd was soon on the spot to see and help extinguish the
conflagration. John S. Charles is the same
that was hurt in Mansfield on Orchard street a few days ago and was unable to be
about. I.C. Charles and assistants removed his books and perhaps about
$2000 worth of goods from the store, the entire stock being valued at $7000 or
$8000. John Charles went warning out
that in the northwest corner of his frame building were powder and dynamite and
that an explosion might result. I.C. Charles and Jerry M. Jones, aged
about 58, proceeded to get the books out of the implement room, which they did
easily by pulling out the desk. Marshall John H. Smith, aged
72, marched past the side of the building telling the crowd to keep back lest
the dynamite should explode. Jones commenced to hand out
paint and I.C. Charles remonstrated with him, saying that an explosion of the
dynamite might take place. Jones persisted that they must
get the paint out. Young Charles carried two buckets at a time to a place
of safety. When going away with his second or third lot, with Jones inside
of the building and Marshall Smith urging the crowd away a thundering explosion
was heard. I.C. Charles had the paint
pails knocked out of his hands and was for a moment stunned. In an instant
more a second, but smaller explosion followed. The crowd was panic
stricken. The frame building crashed to pieces. A large hole had
been made in the rear wall of the brick building and the front was blown into
the street. At the first explosion the tin roof of the brick was elevated
all over at least three feet. When the noise had ceased and
the excitement subsided a little, an investigation was made. Marshal Smith's lifeless form
was found twenty feet in the grape arbor. One side of his face was almost
blown away, a gash a foot or more long was across his breast and a like cut was
on one arm. When the fire permitted an
investigation of the debris was made for Jerry Jones. The trunk of his
body was found near a large hole in the ground made by the dynamite. Both arms were missing and the
legs below the knee were gone. No head could be found, and the only thing
recognizable as a part of that organ was a mass of matter a medical man declared
to be the brain. His heart was torn out and turned upside down. Bert Fishack was on a ladder
against a barn opposite the burning buildings and was knocked off of it, the
ladder breaking in two. He was more or less injured. Joseph Hanna was on a barn
opposite and was thrown to the ground a distance of at least thirty feet.
He was seriously injured in the back, head, etc. Thomas Hanna was hurt on the
leg, head, between the eyes, etc. Many others received slight
injuries, the most serious being Harlan Smart, Mayor D.B. Jones, son of Jerry
Jones, Raymond, Frank and Quinby Russel, John R. Gallagher, Harry Lorow, Isaac
Bahney and D.K. Andrews. E.E. Cunning had a bolt go through the rim of his
hat. The stock that was in the
building after the explosion was a complete loss. The household goods of
the two families were nearly all saved. Dr. Culler lost $75 worth of
office furniture, &c. I.C. Charles' stock was insured
in the Phoenix for $2000 and Queen for $1000, which will about cover his loss. The building was not
insured. It was worth about $3000. The owner was often urged by his
family to have it insured but steadfastly declined. The two dead men were buried in
the Odd Fellows' cemetery at Lucas Monday afternoon at 2:00. Hundreds of windows, some 400
or 500 feet away, were broken by the explosion, two plate-glass fronts, 200 feet
away, being crashed. The explosion was heart at Mansfield and Loudonville.

Jones,
Mary Nelson -- Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, an aged woman, who has
lived in Mansfield for nearly half a century, was found dead in bed
this morning at her home, 130 West First Street. She had been
afflicted with heart and lung trouble, but though under physician's
treatment, she had not been confined to her bed. When she
retired Wednesday evening seemed about as well as usual. The
discovery that Mrs. Jones was dead was made by her niece, Mrs. Maria
Hanna, when she went to call her aunt to breakfast, between 7 and 8
o'clock this morning. Dr. Edwin Findley was summoned, but Mrs.
Jones had been dead some time. Coroner Baughman was also called
and viewed the body. The inquest will be held Friday at 9
a.m. The deceased was born in County Monaghan, Ireland, about 78
years ago. Her maiden name was Mary Nelson. She came to
this country and to Mansfield nearly 50 years ago. In 1868 she
was married to William Jones. They separated, however, and she
secured a divorce. For many years she and her sister, Miss Jane
Nelson, who died June 20, 1897, at the advanced age of 93 years,
resided at 130 West First Street, where both the sisters died.
The death of the elder sister was almost as sudden as that of the
younger. Miss Jane Nelson was taken ill in the night and called
to her sister, telling her of her illness. While Mrs. Jones was
preparing some tea the end came and when she returned to the bedroom
her sister was dead. The house in which the sisters resided is a
landmark, having been the first house erected on West First
Street. The deceased was a member of the Episcopal Church.

Jones,
Samuel -- Bellville. "Blind Jones" an old line
singer known to many in this vicinity is dead. The circumstances
relating to his death are given by the Shelby News, as follows:
Mr. Samuel Jones ("the blind man") died on Sunday night at
the residence of Mr. Harrison Mickey. It seems that he came from
Mansfield, where he was residing with his daughter, and was staying at
Mr. Mickey's over night. He got up during the night, and was
found in the last agonies of death. A physician was sent for but
too late. He expired before relief came. He has been
suffering from heart disease, which was doubtless the cause of his
sudden death. His funeral took place on Wednesday from the
residence of Mr. Harrison Mickey, and his remains were laid to rest in
Oakland Cemetery. -- [Bellville Star:

Joslin, Susan
-- LEXINGTON -- The
bleak winter winds trill mournful cadences over the grave of Mrs. SUSAN
JOSLIN, whose name was synonymous with virtue, charity, and whose culture
and serene nature was a gracious benediction to her husband, children,
mother, brothers, and the large circle of friends who were attracted to
her elegant home by the magnetism of her presence, and the hearts of all
are keenly anguished by the calamity of her death. Possessed of a
competency, her generous heart always responded to the sick and the poor,
and when on November 22d, the stern reaper, death, laid his chilling grasp
upon her frail life, the most somber gloom filled the minds of the many
whose hearts she made glad by the liberality of her benefices. All that
the generous heart of her husband, S.B. Joslin, and affluence could prompt
was done to arrest the progress of the dread disease that buried the
hopes, blighted the prospects of her family, and for nearly four years
make of her life a dreary blank. At Cleveland she was informed by
physicians of high attainments in the domain of surgery that their skill
could not avert her death. This intelligence so appalled her that upon her
return about four weeks before her death, she was attacked with violent
rigors, which were succeeded by a fever, and after many days of acute
physical anguish, with a smile of sweet serenity illuminating her loved
features, her ransomed spirit took its flight from its fragile tenement of
earth to the joyous realms of heaven at the age of 49 years, three months
and 14 days, having been born August 8th., 1834. Rev. Fulton, who
officiated at the obsequies, spoke in terms of tender pathos of the
deceased, and the hearts of all beat responsive to the bitter anguish of
the friends when the remains were consigned to the silence of the
sepulcher. The autopsy revealed a fibro cystic multilocular ovarian tumor.
By fibro is meant that the substance of the tumor was of the nature of
which the fibrous tissues of the body is composed; cystic means a bladder
and multilocular from multus, many, and locular, cells or cavities,
meaning many cells and cavities. This tumor adhered to both the front and
back walls of the cavity of the abdomen, weighed 17 pounds and had 5 or 6
cysts of cells. Drs. Anderson and Keyes, of Mansfield, Carey, Buckingham
and Smith, of Lexington, and Hubbs of Independence, were present at the
autopsy, Dr. Hubbs having manipulated the knife. The operation of
ovariotomy was impracticable owing to the general low vitality and extreme
susceptibility to nervous shocks of the deceased. The husband and all
the relatives desire to avail themselves of THE HERALD to thank those
who aimed to assuage the bitterness of their anguished hearts, and for
their constant vigils at the bedside of the deceased, and their presence
at the last sad rites. [THE MANSFIELD HERALD: 29 November 1883,
