Gaston, 100 Marion avenue, in the ninety-third year of his age.  For a long time he had been very feeble having sustained several strokes of paralysis.  He has failed rapidly within the last month, but even then his death was not anticipated so soon.  He passed peacefully away.  His was a long and eminently useful life and he was a great worker in the Episcopal church of which he had been a life-long member.  Mr. MacDonald was born at Cheshire, Conn., June 4, 1809.  His father was the Rev.

MacDonald of Bucyrus and Edward MacDonald of Norwalk.  One daughter, Mrs. W.L. Gaston, of this city;  two sons, Charles MacDonald of this city;  and F.C.

Mack, Sophronia -- DIED -- On Tuesday, Feb. 16th., 1869, Mrs. Sophronia Mack, wife of Dr. John Mack in the 43d. year of her age.  We must fail in writing an appropriate obituary notice of the deceased. Ever since we have been a permanent resident of Shelby, she was our next door neighbor. In all these years, amidst our joys, and our sorrows, our happiness and afflictions -- she was with us to rejoice, and to sympathize. To speak at length of the past, and to exhibit to the world, what is best known in the privacy of home, would appear to those who know not all that had endeared her to us, as something akin to flattery, and upon such an occasion would be unbecoming indeed. We may however be permitted to say, what all so well known, that she was the guardian angel of the sick and afflicted in many a household, and that her life was one of uninterrupted usefulness in all things that makes woman "God's best gift to man". While the church and the community, and the immediate circle of friends have sustained an irreparable loss, her family, and those who have spent so many years near her, know only how great their loss has been. Here we must cease to write, and bow with humble submission to the will of "Him who doeth all things well." Our only comfort is the assurance that our loss has been her eternal gain.  --  [SHELBY INDEPENDENT NEWS: 25 February 1869, Vol. 1, No. 16]

Mansfield, Gilead -- Lexington.  The venerable Dr. G. Mansfield's death Sunday night caused the most sombre gloom to pervade the village.  He had been ill but a few days of erysipelas and his death was not expected.  Dr. Mansfield was a prominent citizen.   His father, Mansir Mansfield, was a native of Massachusetts and at an early era he located in Trumbull County and there he married Ellicor Dally.  The young twin, in 1814, located four miles south of Lexington at Langham's mill and in 1816, they moved into a cabin in the deep fastness of the forest, two miles east of Lexington and in that rude, primitive abode, Gilead Mansfield first saw the light Dec. 2, 1823, and Dr. Teagarden, famous in the annals of Richland County, was the accoucheur on the occasion of his birth.  Dr. Mansfield once informed the writer that when his parents located where he was born, the smoke of but two cabins could be seen through the dense foliage of the giant progeny of the forest on the site of Lexington.  The cabins were those of Noah Cook, grandfather of Mrs. S.N. Ford, of Mansfield, and of Amariah Watson, grandfather of Mrs. Emily Sowers, of Lexington.    There was a camp of Indians a half mile from his parent's cabin at the mill, but they had not the natural savage instincts of the race to reek their hands in the blood of the invaders of their realm and his mother long used a butter ladle that was fashioned by the deft hands of an untutored son of the forest.  Gilead Mansfield did not find delving the soil and felling the progeny of the forest congenial to him and at the age of 21 he took a trip to Detroit.  He began the study of medicine with his brother at Mt. Blanchard in 1847, and there he married Miss Lafferty in 1850 and they have lived in Lexington since 1852.  Their hearts and souls were truly blended in one and a bright halo of love and joy ever seemed to illuminate their home, which has been the scene of many pleasant social functions at which Dr. Mansfield displayed great tact in entertaining.  Their only child, Frank Mansfield, died 15 years ago and shadows of gloom fell deep on Mrs. Mansfield's heart when her husband's slender thread of life was severed.  At his death Dr. Mansfield owned the farm on which he was born.  Dr. Mansfield was also a skilled ambrotype artist.  He had gone deep into the streams of learning and was the last of a famous coterie here whose discussions of the occult in nature and all in the domain of the sciences had been a great diversion to the citizens and gave the town prestige as an intellectual center.  Dr. Mansfield's education was limited to that obtained in the schools of the pioneer era.  He attended school for awhile that Samuel McClure, most prominent in the annals of Troy Township, taught at his home two miles northwest of Lexington and H.P. Davis, Esq., of Mansfield, was then also a scholar of Mr. McClure's.  Dr. Mansfield cherished fondly the righteous creed of the Republican party.  He was a loyal friend, a most exemplary citizen and honored and unsullied was his name.  His mind was rich in historic facts and legendary lore of the early days in this region and many were wont to listen with rapt attention to his relation of the thrilling events of the long dead past.  Very few of Dr. Mansfield's co-pioneers yet linger on the shores of time and soon the last will have joined the myriad dead.  Funeral at 5 o'clock, Tuesday evening.  [Semi-Weekly News:  17 September 1897, Vol. 13, No. 75]

Mansfield, Gilead -- Lexington.  The Rev. Mr. Gould officiated at the last sad rites of the venerable Dr. Mansfield, Tuesday at 5 o'clock.  The deceased and his wife were attendants of Mr. Gould's church in the city of Mansfield, there being no Methodist church here.  The minister's remarks were in polished phrase and were a just tribute to an honored citizen and revered husband.  The tender thoughts expressed brought solace to the sorrowing heart of the one whom the deceased fondly cherished as possessing all the graces that make the home a hallowed shrine of joy, peace and love.  The relatives at the obsequies from abroad were Harry Lafferty and daughter Nellie, of North Baltimore;  John Lafferty, of Hardin County;  Henry Mansfield, of Warsaw, Ind.;  and Mr. & Mrs. Frengle and son, of Crestline.  Mrs. S.N. Ford, Mrs. Ada T. Hedges, Mrs. William Oberlin, Mr. & Mrs. G.M. Wilkinson and Alfred Corts, of Mansfield, were also present.  [Semi-Weekly News:  21 September 1897, Vol. 13, No. 76]

Markley, Harmon/Herman -- The death of Herman Markley, a Mansfield boy, at the Lancaster Boys' Industrial school, has heretofore been chronicled.  It now appears, from the following Lancaster special, that an epidemic of typhoid fever prevails in that institution, caused by impure water supply.  Lancaster, O., Oct. 5 -- The first epidemic of aggravated form of disease ever suffered at the boys' industrial school has prevailed there for several weeks past, culminating Monday morning in the death of Herman Markley, a boy from Mansfield.  Authorities are not decided as to the variety of fever which has afflicted some 40 of the officers and boys, though Markley's symptoms were strongly those of typhoid fever.  Dr. C.A. Upham, of Columbus, was at the institution Monday night, holding an autopsy on the body of Markley, under the direction of Dr. Probst, of the state board of health.  Dr. Probst himself has visited the institution and made analysis, both of the waters in use there and of the blood of fever-stricken patients for the purpose of arguing from effect to cause.  The drinking water is furnished by a well, drilled several hundred feet into the rock immediately at the school while that for all other purposes is pumped from several wells, a mile away and which are probably fed by a small stream flowing by.  Dr. Probst was not able to find anything deleterious in the water but one of the institution sewers discharges into this stream two miles or more above the wells, which are likely poisoned thereby.  While the fever has been tenacious, excepting Markley's, it has not been alarming.  Several of the officers and inmates are quite ill at present.  Later -- The autopsy conducted by Dr. Upham, of Columbus, last night, to investigate the cause of the Markley boy's death, determined the trouble to be typhoid fever and of course places the blame upon the water.  Dr. Upham telephoned a verbal report to Dr. Probst this morning, who ordered the institution under strict sanitary regulations at once.  Governor Bushnell was also communicated with who suggested to Stewart Hilies, the propriety of anticipating the action of the state emergency board by calling in the services of some good engineer to devise plans for the immediate correction of the faults of hte present water system at the school.  [Semi-Weekly News:  08 October 1897, Vol. 13, No. 81]

Marks, Harry -- Harry Marks, a colored bootblack between 55 and 60 years of age, died Saturday night at 10 o'clock in a rear room in the third story of the Laver building on Main Street.  The cause of his death is supposed to have been due to taking some kind of poison by mistake, thinking that it was liquor.  Marks has been a familiar figure on the streets and has frequently been employed at doing odd jobs around the saloons.  He also did whitewashing and other work of that kind.  he was on the streets Saturday morning and did some work at the Office saloon.  He went away and Saturday afternoon he was in several saloons and complained of violent pains in his bowels.  It was between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon when he was at the Office saloon again.  He seemed to be in considerable pain.  He was asked what he had been drinking and he replied that he had been drinking gin.  The supposition is that he had picked up some cleaning preparation, or carbolic acid, while he was at work somewhere and that, supposing it was gin, drank it.  He went to his room, where he was found later by Township Trustee G.W. Zellner having been informed of the illness of the main.  Medical attention was given to Marks, both by Dr. Mecklem and by Dr. Grubaugh, who was summoned later in the evening.  Coroner Baughman was summoned after Marks died and the body was removed to the undertaking establishment of H.H. Beelman & Co.  The body was buried Sunday afternoon, as no postmortem examination is likely to be held.  The coroner's inquest was held Monday morning at 9 o'clock at Dr. Baughman's office.  Comparatively little of Marks' history is known, but he is supposed to have been originally from Gallatin, Tenn.  It is stated that he has several children in the children's home.  [Semi-Weekly News:  11 May 1897, Vol. 13, No. 38]

Marks, Harry -- The inquest over Harry Marks occurred Monday at Coroner Baughman's office.  Curt Shambaugh, George Zellner, James Cunningham, Bud Smith and several other witnesses were examined.  The verdict was that Marks died of acute gastritis, but the coroner was unable to determine without a post-mortem examination, which was thought unnecessary, whether this was brought on by drinking some poison, such as corrosive sublimate or arsenic, or whether it was due to the victim's intemperate habits.  [Semi-Weekly News:  11 May 1897, Vol. 13, No. 38]

Marshall, Martha J. (Shafer) -- Died, At her home, No. 607 North Main Street, Saturday, September 4, 1886, at 6:30 p.m., Mrs. Martha J. Marshall, wife of W.R. Marshall, aged 41 years, 7 months and 15 days.  The funeral services were conducted at the residence by Rev. Stewart, excellent music being furnished by a quartette from the Presbyterian choir.  Her maiden name was Shafer.  She was born near Bellville, Ohio, January 17th., 1842, and was married to W.R. Marshall, February 23d., 1865.  With him she removed to Kansas in the month of October, 1872, and has resided in this county ever since.  At about the age of 16 she first connected herself with the Lutheran church, but united with the Presbyterian church of this city, January 28th., 1885, and remained a consistent member of it until her death.  She leaves a husband and two children to mourn her loss.  Her noble character and constant kindness won for her the respect and love of all who knew her, and her loss is felt not only in her home but in the community.  Yet all know that our loss is her gain and we try to say "Thy will be done".  As an evidence of the great esteem in which she was held in the community, it is only necessary to mention that, although she died Saturday evening and the funeral was held the following afternoon, the crowd was so great that the house, yards and even the streets were crowded for blocks and the procession was the largest ever seen in this city.  When the head of it was at the Presbyterian church the last carriage was at the Windsor House.  --  [Bellville Star:  16 September 1886, Vol. 9, No. 51 as reprinted from the Hutchinson (Kans.)

Marshall, William -- DEATH OF WM. MARSHALL  [the following is a portion of the funeral sermon given by Rev. B.F. Bell] -- William Marshall was born April 16, 1842.  Died November 18, 1890.  He was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church during the administration of the Rev. A.S. Moffet, but after a time he became lukewarm, lost to some extent his spiritual power, but was reclaimed and brought into communion with his Lord under the ministrations of Rev. Tompkins, from which time he has been faithful though shut out from the light by blindness, yet he walked in the light of the Lord, and joyous in the God of his salvation.  He often spoke of approaching dissolution with a full assurance of faith.  On Friday he was speaking of dying and his daughter asked him if he was prepared to go.  He answered, "yes, I am ready".  He was loyal to his country and his God, for he was one of five brothers who went to the front at call of his country to help put down a most wicked rebellion, and at the end of the war, he was honorably discharged.  Now, after he has fought the good fight of faith, the captain of his salvation gives him an honorable discharge and says "Come up higher, thou weary one, and rest."  Now dear friends, I trust you will rest in God's promises until you one, by one, are reunited and make an unbroken family in heaven.  [Mansfield Herald:  04 December 1890, Vol. 41, No. 3]

Marshman, Glenn -- INSTANTLY KILLED -- By Toppling of a Lumber Pile -- Deceased Married Two Weeks Ago -- At 7:15 o'clock Tuesday morning while at work in the yards of the Mansfield Lumber Company, Glenn Marshman, a laborer, living on Wayne Street, was instantly killed by a pile of lumber falling on him.  Mr. Marshman, with two fellow workmen named Sohle and Adams, was piling lumber in the western end of the lumber yards.  They had a pile of heavy 2-inch planks, about 12 feet high, and Marshman had his back turned to the pile and was in a stooping posture when the fatality occurred.  The top of the pile to the depth of about three feet fell upon him.  His fellow workmen hastened to extricate him, while Dr. Stevens was called.  The man gave a gasp or two after being taken out, but was dead before the physician arrived.  Beelman's ambulance was called and he was taken to their undertaking parlors where Coroner Goodman made his examination.  It was found that when the pile of lumber struck him, Marshman was thrown forward against another pile.  He struck on his face, which was crushed in, and on the pit of his stomach, which knocked the breath out of him.  He also suffered a number of minor contusions.  The coroner is looking into the matter and will probably render his finding within a day or two.  The deceased was of medium height, rather slim, smooth faced, and his right foot was clubbed.  After the fatality it was discovered that Marshman had an uncle living at Galion and he was telephoned to.  The uncle said that the parents of the dead man lived at Bloominggrove and that he would telephone them.  The relatives are expected in the city today and are pending their arrival the body is being held at Beelman's undertaking parlors.  Mr. Marshman was married two weeks ago last Sunday to Miss Olive Ross, of near Lexington.  He and his wife had been boarding at the home of Winfield Trine, 248 Wayne Street.  His father is Wilson Marshman, who lives near Bloominggrove.  The young man was 22 years of age.  --  [Butler Enterprise:  15 September 1905, Vol. 17, No. 32 as re-printed from the Tuesday edition of the Mansfield Shield]

Martell, James "Jack Ryan" -- James Martell, better known among the wanderers of the roads as "Jack Ryan", was burned to death in a railroad shanty along the B.&O. north of Mansfield Saturday night.  Martell and four other "bos" were having a booze party in the shanty when it caught fire and the four who escaped were too intoxicated to rescue their more helpless comrade.  A glamour of romance enshrouds the death of James Martell.  He did not have to beg food and work from one end of the country to the other, as his parents are living and they own one of the largest dry goods stores in Marion, Ohio.  For fifteen years Martell had not been at his own home and it is doubtful if his relatives knew where he was until news of his death came.  Martell was infected with the wanderlust early in life and for years he has wandered the roads, known as "Jack Ryan" among the itinerant bands with which he has cast his lot.  --  [Plymouth Advertiser:  04 April 1914, Vol. 61, No. 20]

Marvin Stephen -- One by one the pioneers who braved the hardships and dangers of western life half a century ago, are being gathered to their rest.  Mr. Stephen Marvin, one of the first settlers of Richland County, Ohio, died at his residence in Shelby at 2 o'clock on Monday morning, August 10th., aged seventy-one years and nearly seven months.  Although by nature possessed of an iron constitution, within the past few years the infirmities incident to advanced age and a long life of unremitting labor, known only to those who shared the toils and privations of the pioneers, have had their effect upon him, and it became evident to himself and his friends that his work was nearly done.  He battled with disease, however, to the last, and only yielded when exhausted nature could no longer sustain the unequal conflict.  About two weeks ago he was compelled to relinquish his daily avocation, but was only confined to his bed for six days previous to his death.  The ablest medical counsel was employed and everything in human power done for his relief, but the usual remedies seemed to have no effect upon him.  He continued to grow worse, and on Thursday his family realized the unwelcome truth that the seal of death had been set upon him.  His disease was acute inflammation of the stomach and bowels, and his sufferings during the last few days were intense.  He retained his consciousness to within an hour of his death, his mind remaining clear and vigorous almost to the last.  Although his agony at times seemed beyond endurance he uttered not a word of murmuring or complaint, only waiting patiently for the final stroke of the sickle of the Great Reaper, which should release him from his sufferings.  The funeral was held yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, and was attended by a very large concourse of sympathizing friends and acquaintances.  Mr. Marvin was very widely known throughout Richland and adjoining counties, having lived in Shelby fifty years.  Of his ten children living, all were present except one son, living in New York, the telegram to whom was delayed so that he did not arrive until an hour after the burial.  An eloquent discourse was delivered by Rev. George R. Brown, of Clyde.  The remain were interred in the family burying ground, two miles east of the village.  Mr. Marvin was born January 16, 1797 in Fairfield County, Connecticut.  He was married April 5, 1818, at the age of 21, and two weeks after, started with his bride and his earthly all, in a wagon, for a home in the West.  They crossed the Allegheny mountains and after a tedious, toilsome journey of six weeks, reached their destination in June 1818.  The last six miles they were obliged to cut their way through a dense forest hitherto untouched by the woodman's axe.  The brave-hearted couple patiently endured all the privations of frontier life and lived to reap the reward of their labors.  A thriving town has grown up around them with two railroads running by their very door.   On the 5th. of April last, the aged pair celebrated their golden wedding -- the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage.  It was an occasion of rare pleasure and interest to the family.  Thirteen children in all have been born to them, of whom ten are living, with twenty-five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.  These were all present with a very few exceptions, and the memory of the happy reunion will be thrice tenderly cherished now that death has taken away the honored head of the family.  One of the grandchildren, a young lady, has also died since that occasion.  The private life of Mr. Marvin was without a shadow of reproach.  As a husband and father he was ever kind and affectionate, his transactions with his fellow-men were characterized by the most strict, unswerving adherence to truth, honesty and integrity;  and as a citizen he was public-spirited and patriotic.  He gave no less than six of his sons and grandsons to the service of his country during the war.  One of the latter fell at Stone River and another died of disease, while of the former two were severely wounded -- one of them in four or five different engagements.  The deceased was universally esteemed and his death will be mourned by the entire community of which he was so long a prominent member.  The sympathies of all will be with the aged widow and the family in their sore affliction.  [Shelby Chronicle:  20 August 1868, Vol. 2, No. 22 as reprinted from the Cleveland (OH) News, 12 August 1868]  

Marvin, Zana -- Zana, the eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Bert Marvin, died at the family home last week, Thursday evening, at 10 o'clock, her death being due to diabetes.  The little girl had not been in the best of health for some months past and was up and about the house just a day or two prior to her death.  She is survived by her parents, three brothers and one sister, all of whom have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.  Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, interment being made in Greenlawn Cemetery, the casket and grave being covered and lined with a profusion of flowers, gifts from loving friends.  --  [Plymouth Advertiser: 04 September 1915, Vol. 62, No. 41]

Mason, Milton P. -- Dr. Milton P.

Hedges and Joseph Hedges of Park avenue west, and of Mrs. Naomi Todd of Lexington avenue.  For many ears he was in the drug business at the corner of North Main and Sixth streets and sold out a couple of years ago to F.A. Wheeler.  He was a member of the M.E. church and of Mansfield lodge No. 19, I.O.O.F., being a past grand in the latter.  He leaves a wife and two daughters, Mrs. E.S.

Matson, Uriah -- Mr. Uriah Matson, residing five miles south of Shelby, died on Tuesday morning last, aged about 80 years.  [Shelby Independent News:  16 January 1873, Vol. 5, No. 12]

Matson, Uriah -- Mr. Uriah Matson departed this life on the 14th. of January, 1873, of congestion of the stomach with other structural changes incident to old age.  He died in the 80th. year of his age.  It is not without pain that we are called upon to record the death of another of the old pioneers of our county.  Mr. Matson was sorely afflicted a year or two ago but so regained his health as to be able to do some work on the farm.  Yet never was well, and as age crept slowly on, he became more languid and gave up sooner in his undertakings.  He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in the year 1793.  Emigrated to this State in 1815, locating about 5 miles south-east of Shelby, and 2 miles north-west of Spring Mills, in Jackson Township.  Here he erected his log cabin, where he in his forest home found a happy shelter from the stormy elements and surrounding wild beasts.  His nearest neighbor was Mr. Richard Condon then living on the farm now occupied by Mr. J.W. Niman about one mile and a half south.  At this early age, the country was wild and unimproved, presenting many hardships and privations to be endured, before the dense forest was cleared off, the land in a condition to cultivate, and the country settled.  Being naturally robust with unbounded energy and perseverance, he struggled and toiled, clearing up, not only his own farm but others.  As a tribute of respect awarded the man who had cleared he most land in Richland County, he drew the premium Ax in 1858.  Intellectually, he was far above the average of men in his day, being conversant with ancient as well as modern history, keeping pace with the best politicians and general news.  Naturally fond of reading and having a retentive memory, he could bring to bear statistics from many authors, making such quotations as was essential in argument with the best men on any subject.  He read any and everything in the English language within his reach.  As his constitutional vigor gave way, he would read almost incessantly, and when called upon by his neighbors, he would engage in the most earnest and intelligent conversation, often protracting his fire-side talks to a very late hour of night, thus securing a most exalted social position among all his friends.  In his religious character, he considered divine truth with care, and cultivated that genuine charity, which respects true piety wherever found.  In belief he inclined toward the doctrine of "Church of the New Jerusalem" and thus believed in God and the immortality of the soul.  As the time of his departure drew near, and prior to that time, he was heard to have said, "My day's work is done" and during his last illness called on God for release.  As he entered the valley of the shadow of death, he became pale and faint, muscular power depressed, extremities cold, and when his hands grew palsied, his eyes dim;  all that which should accompany old age, as honor, love and many friends were his.  Funeral services were held at the old family home, and the burial service read at the grave.  As a mark of respect in which his memory was held, the funeral was attended (notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather) by a large concourse of people, as well as many relatives and friends.  The aged and well tried father and veteran in the service of life, has entered within the confines of the unexplored regions of eternity.  Peaceful be thy rest aged pilgrim!  Mourning friends, invalid daughter, be comforted in the sure hope of a blissful immortality beyond the tomb.  "Let not your hearts be troubled".  When the Good Master calls be joyfully prepared to enter within the gates of the beautiful City of the New Jerusalem in glory.  -- N.H.L.  [Shelby Independent News:  23 January 1873, Vol. 5, No. 13]

May, Jonathan

May, Manuel -- Judge Manual May died about 3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon.  The death of the eminent jurist was not unexpected, as he has suffered no less than three strokes of paralysis and has been critically ill for a week or ten days.  Mr. May was born in the building on the south side of Central park Aug. 4, 1826, where he died, and has been a familiar figure of Mansfield for many years.  He attended Kenyon College, of which he is a graduate.  After reading law under the direction of his father, J.M. May, he attended the Cincinnati law school and completed the regular course.  Judge May began to practice law in Mansfield with his father under the firm name of J.M. and M. May and his subsequent law partners were Thomas McBride, John K. Cowan, later president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company, and S.L. Geddes.  A number of successful lawyers and prominent ones of today read law under his guidance.  In his fraternal relations Judge May was a thirty-second degree Mason, being allied with the Cincinnati Consistory.  He has been the presiding officer of the Mansfield Commandery, No. 21, Knights Templar, and was also identified with the two branches of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in this city.  He was a member of the Episcopal church.  During his middle life he was actively engaged in politics, being a Democrat.  For a number of years Judge May was a county school examiner for Richland County and was otherwise identified with educational interests.  Judge May was nominated on the Democratic ticket and elected prosecuting attorney, serving from 1858 until 1862 and for four years he represented the old Fourth Ward in the city council, acting as the president of that body a part of the time.   In 1866 Judge May was sent to the Ohio State Senate from the district comprised of Richland and Ashland counties, and he was re-elected for a second term, continuing in office until the year 1870.  During his second term Senator May was a member of the judiciary committee and was identified with important state measures during that time.  In the year 1882 Mr. May was elected a judge of the court of common pleas for the second sub-division of the Sixth Judicial district of Ohio, composed of the counties of Ashland, Morrow and Richland.  Judge May was re-elected to the common pleas bench and served in that capacity until 1892.  Since leaving the common pleas bench Judge May resumed the practice of law.  The deceased, though a bachelor, was a great lover of amusement and has been identified with several social and dancing clubs in his day.  Judge May, while not a charter member, has long been identified with Mansfield lodge No. 56, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.  At the time of his death he held an honorary life membership in Mansfield Lodge, No. 56.  --  [Bellville Messenger:  25 June 1903, Vol. 11, No. 25 as reprinted from the Mansfield News]  All efforts to find a will left by the late Judge Manuel May have so far been without avail.  It was generally believed that the judge left a will, but if there was one it has either disappeared or has not yet turned up.  It is currently reported that a number of years ago Judge May made a will and appointed a well known local attorney executor of the same.  It is generally believed however, that this will was destroyed by him and another made.  A search having failed to develop a will, George B. Drennan, of Plymouth, and W.J. Geer, of Galion, have made application in probate court asking for the appointment of an administrator of the estate of the deceased.  The following is a list of relatives and heirs given in making the application:  First Cousins:  Mrs. A.D. McDonough, of Plymouth, Catherine D. Cooke, of Lawrenceville, N.J., and Manuel J. Drennan, of Evanston, IL;  Second Cousins:  John Wolfe, of Shelby, Charles Wolfe, of Shelby, Kate C. Wilkinson, of Mansfield, Phoebe A. Coleman, of Lexington, Abner W. Coleman, of Olympia, Wash., Augusta Hinckley, of Cincinnati, Joseph Wolfe, of Cincinnati, Columbia Wolfe, of Cincinnati, Edith K. Geer, of Galion, George B. Drennan, of Plymouth.  It was generally believed that Judge May was quite well fixed financially, but it is now reported that his estate is practically insolvent.  That the property on South Park Street where he resided all his life and the land in the south end of the city is covered with mortgages for practically all it is worth.  Many people cannot believe that the estate is insolvent and there are rumors to the effect that he had considerable money hoarded.  If such is the case it has not been brought to light.  --  [Bellville Messenger:  02 July 1903, Vol. 11, No. 26 as reprinted from the Mansfield News]

McBride, Thomas -- Thomas McBride, one of the ablest attorneys of the Richland County bar, died at his residence, 132 South Main Street, Sunday, Jan. 12, at about 6 o'clock p.m.  The sad news spread rapidly as it was sudden and unexpected, although he had had long been a sufferer form a malignant cancer of the face.  The pus from the cancer could not be prevented from reaching the stomach which impaired the health and poisoned the blood, producing heart failure which was the immediate cause of death.  Thomas McBride, son of Alexander and Ruth J. McBride, was born in Monroe Township, Nov. 20, 1827.  His age therefore was 62 years, 1 month and 22 days.  He was given a good country school education and spent two years at study at Chapel Hill College in Missouri, when he returned to Richland County and alternately taught school in winter and worked upon the farm in summer until he commenced reading law.  He was admitted to the bar at Mt. Vernon [Knox Co.] by the district court in June, 1857.  The succeeding eight years he practiced his profession at Defiance and he was prosecuting attorney of Defiance County from 1859 to 1863.  Mr. McBride then returned to Mansfield and entered into partnership with Manuel May under the firm name of May & McBride.  This partnership was dissolved in April, 1868.  He then formed a partnership with A.M. Burns which was dissolved in April 1874.  He then became a member of the firm of Burns, McBride & Burns.  When John C. Burns, the junior member of the firm was elected prosecuting attorney the partnership became Burns & McBride and this firm dissolved about eight years ago, since which time Mr. McBride continued in the profession in partnership with his son and C.E. McBride, who since went into partnership with S.G. Cummings.  A meeting of the Richland County bar will be held at 9 a.m. to-morrow to take action appropriate to the memory of the deceased.  The members of the obituary committee are W.S. Bradford, S.G. Cummins and G.W. Geddes.  While a resident of Defiance Mr. McBride was initiated into the lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at that place and was a Past Noble Grand when admitted to membership in Mansfield Lodge No. 19, on a card in November, 1865.  He was a faithful member of the order and the Odd Fellows will have charge of his funeral.  Mr. McBride was made a Master Mason at Defiance and was a member in good standing of Venus Lodge No. 152.  The Masons will not attend the funeral as a lodge but will attend individually.  The deceased for years was an active member of the First Presbyterian church and for a number of years was the teacher of the Bible class.  In September, 1857 Mr. McBride and Miss Barbara E. Brandt, of Springfield Township, were married, and to them were born six children, all of whom survive him, except Minnie B., the eldest daughter.  The funeral will take place from the late residence, Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.  The Odd Fellows will have charge, as stated above, and the Rev. D.J. Meese will officiate.  --  [Mansfield Evening News:  13 January 1890, Vol. 5, No. 265]

McBride and Clifton McBride, together with the widow, are left to mourn his loss.  Mr. McBride was born on the McBride farm near Lucas, which is now owned by David B.

McClure, Oliver -- At five o'clock this morning the crew of a west bound Erie freight train discovered the dead body of Oliver McClure lying on the left hand side of the main track about 200 feet east of the Union Depot.  The local officials were notified and at 6 o'clock Coroner Goodman took charge of the body.  Mr. McClure lay alongside the track and was horribly mangled.  His head was cut off, his right arm at the shoulder and his left arm at the elbow.  The head was lying about five feet west of the body, one arm had been moved about 25 feet and the other remained along side the trunk.  The body was taken to Schroer's undertaking establishment where it was viewed by a number of people.  At first the identity of the corpse was unknown, as there was nothing on the body but a pipe;  but finally Wm. Sams thought he recognized it and brought his son who positively identified it as the body of Oliver McClure, son of Mr. & Mrs. Joseph McClure, of 290 North Diamond Street.  These are the only relatives of the dead man in the city.  Oliver McClure was 18 years old.  Investigation by the coroner reveals the fact that last night McClure and Curtis Waldsmith were together.  About nine o'clock Waldsmith left him and went to his home.  This, so far as known, is the last that was seen of McClure alive, as at five o'clock this morning his decapitated body was found on the track.  --  [Butler Enterprise:  30 June 1905, Vol. 17, No. 21 as re-printed from the Mansfield Shield of June 22nd.]

McCreary, Charles -- The Reno (Nevada) Gazette, of Sept. 25th., contains the following:  "The Sacramento Bee of yesterday contains the following account of the death of one of Sacramento's noblest citizens:  This city has lost one of its best citizens in the death of Charles McCreary, which occurred Saturday evening at his residence, Tenth and I Streets.  The sad announcement was received as a shock by the community, the larger portion of which was unaware of Mr. McCreary's illness.  Only a few knew that he had been operated upon for a cancer, and that the chances were all against his recovery.  Fewer still knew that he had long been a sufferer from this cancerous growth, and that death would soon have been the outcome, even though the heroic measure of a surgical operation had not been taken.  There are few men in private or commercial life whose character could stand the test like that of Charles McCreary.  He was a thoroughly good citizen in every respect.  In all his dealings he was upright and fair.  In his relation with those who knew him he was always a courtly, considerate, generous gentleman.  The city can ill spare men of the stamp of Charles McCreary.  Mr. McCreary was born in Ohio fifty-nine years ago.  He came to the state in 1850.  His father, the late W.P. McCreary, engaged in the flouring business in this city in 1852.  During the four years following Charles McCreary and his brother Byron conducted a farm in Yolo County, but they returned to this city to enter the milling business with their father.  They succeeded the latter upon his death and the mill became one of the best properties of its kind in the state.  In 1865 Charles McCreary was married to a daughter of Judge Robert Clark.  His wife and two sons, Robert and Harry, survive him."  Mr. McCreary lived in Mansfield many years ago and will be remembered by our older citizens.  --  [Richland Shield & Banner:  20 October 1894, Vol. LXXVII, No. 23]

McCune, Robert -- The dispatches announced the death at Sherburne, Minn., of the Rev. Robert McCune, Feb. 17, aged 72 years.  Mr. McCune was well known to the people of Richland County, first as a Wesleyan preacher in Washington Twp. and later as one of the publishers of "The Christian Statesman" issued from the office of the Western Branch Book Concern established in this place by the Wesleyan Methodists in 1853.  Mr. McCune was originally a Pittsburg printer.  He married the daughter of the Rev. Edward Smith, a Wesleyan minister of note, as well as one of the most powerful antislavery lecturers before the public.  Before a mob he never quailed.  When lecturing upon that subject at Mt. Vernon, O., and egg hurled at him while speaking struck him in the mouth, but as I was told he stopped talking only long enough to unload the egg.  Mr. Smith had bought a farm in Morrow County, but the plant of establishing "The Western Branch Book Concern" with "The Christian Statesman" as an organ at Mansfield seemed to promise a field of usefulness and he at once entered upon the work.  He rented the brick building upon the west side of South Main, between First and Second street, and Mr. McCune took charge of the mechanical department.  While there they issued a temperance novel, written by William Stevens, a Mansfield lawyer, entitled:  "The Unjust Judge" or "The Evils of Intemperance on Judges, Lawyers and Politicians, By A Member of the Ohio Bar".  It was a satirical drive at our county judge and some of the members of the bar in revenge for their rebuffs and discourtesies from which he had been a sufferer, it was a book of 350 pages and issued Jan. 1, 1854.  Mr. Stevens, finding it uphill work in Mansfield, went to Kansas and I understand is no longer living.  At that time I owned the Mansfield Herald, and having put in steam presses, Smith & McCune rented the second story of my building, moved in and I did their press work.  Mr. Smith soon after died, their work was discontinued and Mr. McCune again entered the clerical field, but as a congregational minister.  My impression is that he first had a charge in Huron County.  He afterwards preached at Kokomo, Ind. and East Toledo and in Toledo was also engaged in newspaper work with the Blade, remaining there several years.  From Toledo he was called to Worthington and Sherburne, two towns in southwestern Minnesota, and was chaplain of the Minnesota house of representatives one session.  Mr. McCune was distinguished for his pleasant vein of humor, his sterling common sense and his strict conscientiousness, which ensured him the love and esteem of all who knew him.  -- M.

McDermott, George -- A very sad fatality was that which occurred between midnight Saturday night and 1 o'clock Sunday morning at Lucas and resulted in the death of George McDermott, son of Mr. & Mrs. Marcus McDermott, of this city.  The exact manner in which the unfortunate man met his death is not known definitely.  The dead body was found by Tom Zediker about 2 o'clock Saturday morning lying along the track about 100 years below the depot at Lucas.  The body was not badly mangled as it would have been had it been under a train, so it is thought that he must have been struck by the cylinder of the engine or some part of the train and knocked away from the train.  His neck and jaw were broken.  The accident was reported and help having secured the body was removed to Marks' undertaking establishment.  Sunday morning Coroner Baughman and the parents of the young man were informed of the accident.  Coroner Baughman, Constable Baxter and Marcus McDermott went to Lucas and viewed the remains.  George McDermott, who met with such an untimely death, was 28 years of age and was born in this city.  He was unmarried.  For about a year he has been living at Lucas and has been in the employ of his brother-in-law, O. Rummel, who has a saw mill.  McDermott was around the village Saturday evening and was at various places in the village and sometime about midnight started down the P.F. tracks for the home of his brother-in-law.  Near the place where the fatality occurred a box car was standing on a siding next to the main track.  Near by are the stock yards.  It is supposed that while walking along the track he got too near, or upon the east bound tracks at this point and was struck by P.F. east bound passenger train No. 8, due here at 12:20 a.m.  Another theory is that he sat down on the side of the track, and in this way met his death, as he did not see the approaching train.  The body was brought to this city Sunday evening at 8 o'clock and was removed to the home of the young man's parents at the corner of Orchard and Daisy Streets.  The inquest has been set for this afternoon at Coroner Baughman's office.  Funeral services Tuesday at 10 o'clock a.m., conducted by the Rev. Dr. H.L. Wiles.  Mr. McDermott was well known here and his friends will be sorry to learn of his death, which occurred in such an unexpected manner, at a time when he was in manly vigor and strength.  [Semi-Weekly News:  09 November 1897, Vol. 13, No. 90]

McElroy, Alexander -- The announcement of the death of Mr. McElroy, thought not wholly unexpected, caused severe sorrow in the hearts of his numerous friends and acquaintances.  Having spent his entire life of 72 years in the vicinity of Mansfield, he was well known throughout the county and in the city.  To know him was to respect and love him.  He was a companion most agreeable, a friend most true, a citizen of intelligence and conscience and a Christian whose faith worked by love and caused him to triumph over death.  Like his neighbor, John B. Vantilburg, who passed away only a day later, he was a man who commanded respect and whose death is a calamitous loss to the community.  At his death Mr. McElroy was a trustee of the children's home and president of the board of deacons of the First Presbyterian church.  In both capacities he served with fidelity and many were the sad hearts and tearful eyes that followed his remains to their last earthly resting place.  His memory is a fragrant one and will be long treasured.  [Semi-Weekly News:  26 November 1897, Vol. 13, No. 95]

W.W. Anderson, will upon his return home, write a more extended obituary, and have it published in some organ of that church, of which denomination the family and deceased have many relatives and friends in different parts of the country.  [Shelby Independent News:  15 June 1876, Vol. 8, No. 34]

McFarland, a laboring man, met death as the result of his own rash act.  Despondency over lack of work and the serious illness of his wife, together with his own temporary physical disability on account of an accident, were undoubtedly the causes which led to his continued dissipation and subsequently to the results which followed.  For some time Mrs. McFarland has been quite ill at her home, 49 Grant Street -- so ill in fact that at times her life was despaired of.  Mr. McFarland, ordinarily kind, it is said, became more and more despondent and gradually drank more deeply.  He had a sore foot and last Thursday he was kicked on the leg by his horse.  Last Friday he came home more intoxicated than usual and his wife seeing his conditions, left her bed in the evening and went to the home of a neighbor, whom she told of her troubles.  The neighbor had a cab called and Mrs. McFarland and her two children, aged 5 and 3 years respectively, were taken to the home of Mrs. McFarland's mother, Mrs. Mary A. Miller, at 149 Park Avenue East, where they have been since that time.  It is probable that while under the influence of liquor mistreated his wife and that caused her to leave him.  Dr. Stewart was called to the home to attend Mrs. McFarland, who was worse after leaving home.  Yesterday McFarland drove past the home of his mother-in-law in his buggy but did not disturb them.  Shortly before 5:30 o'clock last evening he had apparently planned to end his life.  He drove up in front of  the house of Mrs. Miller, alighted from the buggy and tied the horse, after which he got into the buggy again and shot himself above and slightly to the front of the right ear.  Death resulted almost instantly.  The scene of the tragic affair was soon thronged by people in the neighborhood who had heard the shot and came running to see what was the matter.  Willing hands carried the man into Mrs. Miller's house, where all was at once confusion.  It was thought that there might be a hope of saving his life and Dr. Stewart was called.  Coroner Baughman, who lives a short distance from the scene of the shooting, was also summoned, but the man was dead and likely had been almost from the moment that the bullet entered his head.  In his buggy were some groceries, and on his person, among other things, an empty flask.  The revolver which he used in the commission of the deed was a 32 caliber.  The coroner probed for the bullet and located it at the base of the skull on the opposite side of his head.  The bullet took a downward course, and the unfortunate man must have had the butt of the weapon elevated slightly.  The police were informed of the affair and were also present at the scene shortly after it occurred.  Mrs. McFarland was completely prostrated, and was in a precarious condition last evening.  Charles McFarland was a laborer and was born in Cuyahoga County in 1859.  He leaves a wife and tow children.  Arrangements for the funeral have not as yet been made.  The inquest will be held Monday at 10 o'clock.  He had $1,000 insurance on his life, in a California company, and had paid one premium on it and had also given his note for a payment.  It is not improbable that the despondency which hung over him and which was made more gloomy by his dissipation and the long continued sickness of his wife, caused McFarland to brood over his troubles until temporary insanity resulted.  It is stated that yesterday afternoon on Spring Mill Street, McFarland called a friend to his buggy and offered him a drink, saying as he did so that he was going to commit suicide soon.  He also drew out his revolver and flourished it.  The man mentioned the matter to several members of the police force and they were searching for him to prevent him from consummating the deed he threatened to do, when the report came in that he had committed suicide, thus fulfilling his threat.  [Semi-Weekly News:  17 November 1896, Vol. 12, No. 93]

McFarland, Rosina -- Mrs. Rosina McFarland, wife of John W. McFarland, of Monroe township, died at her home Sunday at 9 o'clock a.m., of cancer, from which she had suffered very severely, but uncomplainingly for several months. Mrs. McFarland's maiden name was Applegate. She was born in this county, Aug. 1, 1848, being aged at her death 53 years, 7 months and 1 day. She was married to John W. McFarland Jan. 10, 1867. To them were born six children, four sons: O. H., E. E., W. H. and A. M., and two daughters, Mary E. and Mrs. Rose A. Carson. Three of these children now reside on the old homestead, one and a half miles west of Lucas. Two live in the vicinity, while one, W. H., resides near Stuart, Iowa. The latter came to his old home two weeks ago and was almost constantly at the bedside of his mother up to Saturday last, when he received word from his home that his wife was very ill, then, feeling that it was his duty to be with his sick wife, he bid his mother goodbye and with a sad heart returned to his home in the west. Mrs. Carson, who has resided in Pittsburg for about a year, recently moved with her husband and child back to her former home. Mother McFarland joined the Lutheran church at Mr. Zion when about 12 years old. After her marriage she moved with her husband to the vicinity of Washington where they soon after united with the Congregational church at that place. In February 1883, they were two of the eight members who organized the Congregational church at Lucas, in which church she has ever since been an earnest and faithful member and for a number of years a deaconess. Her name is also on the "roll of honor" of the Congregational Sunday school in Lucas. Kindness was one of her marked characteristics. She was full of the faith and hope of the Christian, which enabled her to bear her long and severe illness without a murmur and with a Christian fortitude seldom if ever excelled. She remained conscious to the last, giving the best of advice to her family and neighbors. She always proved by her conduct and conversation that she was in possession of that priceless hope which enabled her to rejoice with that "joy that is unspeakable" and full of glory only a few hours before she died, on being told by one of her sons that it was Sunday morning, she replied, "Oh, I am so glad that I can go to my Savior on the blessed Sabbath. By her death the husband sustains the loss of a kind and devoted wife, the children an affectionate and loving mother, the church a faithful and consistent member and the people for miles around a true friend and one who was a neighbor in the highest and broadest sense of the word. Funeral services at her late home Wednesday, March 5, at 10 o'clock. Burial in the I. O. O. F. cemetery, near Lucas. Services conducted by the Rev. R. H. Edmonds, of Mansfield, and Rev. P. L.

McKee, a well-known mining lawyer of this city, died at his residence, No. 1318 Ellis street in this city, last Wednesday evening, after a severe and painful illness at the early age of 30 years.  He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, having entered the army at the early ate of 16 years and serving throughout the war.  He left a will containing the very sensible provision "Having always maintained that costly coffins, numerous carriages and many other items of mere display at funerals are too often a mere waste of the means necessary for the support of the members of the deceased, I hereby positively direct and insist that my funeral shall be as plain as possible, and that the expense thereof shall be very moderate, and I further positively direct and insist that no member of my family shall wear mourning on account of my death."  A widow and two children and a host of friends are left to mourn the death of Mr. McKee."  --  [Ohio Liberal:  02 July 1884, Vol. 12, No. 12]

Va., in 1815, and was therefore 74 years of age.  She was married in 1837 and had resided in Richland County for 47 years.  The funeral will take place tomorrow from her late home, at 1 p.m., her pastor, Rev. Ballentine, of the Seceder Church, officiating.  The interment will take place in Mansfield Cemetery.  --  [Richland Shield & Banner:  12 October 1889, Vol. LXXII, No. 21]

Her five children, Thomas D., John, Kitty, Mollie and Mrs W. C. Shires, were with her until the end. The funeral will take place from St Peter’s Catholic church at 8:30 o’clock Wednesday morning.

McMerrell, L.R. -- L.R. McMerrell has suicided.  He took his own life rather than suffer the penalties of his peculations.  When the grand jury was brought into court yesterday morning four sub rosa indictments were reported.  Two of these were against L.R. McMerrell, a traveling man of this city, charging him with embezzling an aggregate of $221 from his employers, Richardson & Mosey, proprietors of the Richardson Bottling Works.  McMerrell has for some time been traveling for the Netscher Bottling Works, and it was expected that he would arrive home last night.  Accordingly Sheriff Guthrie, Prosecutor Douglass and Officer Hayes repaired to the union depot to arrest him, but he failed to appear.  The officers frequently visited McMerrell's home on West Bloom Street, where they were assured that their man had not returned to the city.  This forenoon Prosecutor Douglass became satisfied that McMerrell had been informed of the indictments and he prepared to send Sheriff Guthrie to Shreve (McMerrell's old home) in the hope of finding him there.  As a matter of precaution, however, he first telegraphed L.R. Troutman, president of the Shreve bank, asking him if the traveling man had been in the village.  At noon Mr. Douglass received the following explanatory telegram from Mr. Troutman:  "L.R. McMerrell was found dead in bed at this place this morning."  The dead man leaves a wife and two children living on West Bloom Street, to whom his sudden demise will prove a severe blow.  The story of McMerrell's crime is quite lengthy.  In his embezzlement he displayed a superior ability.  About a year ago he removed from Shreve to this city and secured the position of traveling salesman for the Richardson Bottling Works.  McMerrell had previously represented the Netscher Bottling Works and was well qualified in every way for the position.  For a time he proved to be an excellent salesman.  About three months ago, however, the firm began to notice that McMerrell's accounts were not straight and he reported no orders one week.  This aroused the suspicions of the proprietors and they proceeded to make an investigation.  They found that McMerrell had failed to account for $150.  When confronted with proof of his guilt McMerrell weakened and gave the firm security for the amount, after which he was discharged.  Later another investigation was made and it was found that the dishonest salesman had defrauded his employers out of about $140 more.  This he also made good.  A member of the company then took the road to sell goods, when he found that, while McMerrell was traveling on the money of the Richardson Bottling Works, he had been selling the goods of a rival concern.  It was also found that the salesman had collected every cent due the firm and in this manner had secured $221, for the embezzlement of which he was indicted.  McMerrell was given an opportunity to settle, but his brother-in-law at Shreve, who had helped him out of his former trouble, refused to have anything to do with him.  It is not known what route McMerrell selected in taking passage to the beyond, but it is supposed that he called laudanum or morphine to his assistance.  S.L. Nash received a letter from McMerrell, under date of "Shreve, March 16th." in which he said that he was dying as he wrote the letter.  Mr. Nash went to Shreve today to investigate the suicide.  No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral, but the remains will probably be interred at Shreve.  McMerrell also had dealings with the Netscher Bottling Works, J.J. Maguire and Terrence Donohoe, all of whom lost money on him.  --  [Richland Shield & Banner: 24 March 1894, Vol. LXXVI, No. 45]

McNulty, Mrs. -- MELANCHOL SUICIDE -- We are pained to record the death of Mrs. McNulty, wife of William McNulty, Esq., of this place.  She committed suicide on last Monday morning by severing the jugular vein.  For more than a year she had been insane and had been taken to the Insane Retreat in Cincinnati, under care of Dr. Meade, and to the Asylum at Columbus, for treatment, but no permanent benefit was received, and she was brought home.  She several times expressed fears that she would destroy herself, and requested her friends to keep watch upon her.  This they did, and when her paroxysms were worse, locked in her room, with every means of self-destruction removed.  Her husband had been in California for some years, but on learning of her malady he arranged his business as speedily as possible and returned home just about three weeks ago.  Since his return he has done everything in his power to administer to her comfort and happiness.   Insanity appears to be hereditary in the family, as one of her sisters has destroyed herself in the same manner.  Misfortunes seem to fall upon the head of Mr. McNulty thick and fast.  Calamities by fire and flood descended upon him with their crushing weight, and now this greatest grief of all is added to fill his cup of bitterness.  But there is an overruling Providence who hath ordered these things for good and with a desire to know His will we should bow with resignation to His mandates -- [PLYMOUTH ADVERTISER:  21 January 1854, Vol. 1, No. 14 as re-printed from the MANSFIELD HERALD]

Meese, Rev. Dr. David J. -- BOOK OF LIFE NOW CLOSED -- Final Summons Comes to the Rev. D. J. Meese, Chaplain of Ohio State Reformatory -- INFLUENTIAL CITIZEN AS WELL AS MINISTER -- Pastor of First Presbyterian church For More Than Twenty-Two Years. Final summons to a Christian warrior, whose book of life has been filled with usefulness and whose good deeds will live in the hearts of those who knew and respected him, came shortly after 8 o'clock Sunday morning. It was the dissolution from the body of the spirit of the Rev. Dr. David J. Meese, and marked the end of suffering which had been borne with Christian fortitude and strength through a long period. Not unexpected, yet withal looked upon with concern because it came to one who had been so useful and who had not reached the full three score years and ten, death came to him after a critical illness of more than a week. More than a year ago Dr. Meese suffered a nervous breakdown which compelled him to relinquish his duties as chaplain of the Ohio State reformatory for a period. Rest enabled him to recover after he had passed some time at resorts and on the farm. He entered upon his duties again with all the vigor at his command but his health again began to fail him. Unmindful of himself he continued his work among those who had erred and were paying the penalty, but was finally compelled to give up all work. Several weeks ago, Dr. Meese had recovered sufficiently to be able to go from his apartments at the institution to the home of his son, Edwin W. Meese, 88 Greenwood boulevard. His condition improved for a time, but a week ago became more serious and his condition was critical from day to day, until death relieved him. Announcement of his death came as a shock to his many friends in Mansfield, and it cast a gloom over the services at the First Presbyterian church, where he had been a most beloved pastor for a long period of years. Besides his wife and two sons, Edwin W. and D. Osborne, Dr. Meese is survived by a sister, Mrs. Wilson P. Spencer. Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the First Presbyterian church, conducted by the Rev. E. M. McMillin, assisted by a representative of the Mansfield Ministerial association. The body will be taken to the church and will lie in state from 12 to 3 o'clock. Those who desire to view the body are requested to do so before 3 o'clock, as there will be no opportunity to do so after the service. David Joseph Meese was born June 27, 1853, on a farm in Dauphin county, Pa., about eight miles east of Harrisburg, Pa. During his boyhood and early life, he assisted his father in farm work and attended the public schools during the winter months. At the age of 15, he took a four months' term in the state normal school at Millersville, Pa., and later on took several more terms in the same school. He taught two terms in the Public schools and one term in the county normal school. His preparation for college was at Lancaster, Pa., and he finished the first two years of college life at Franklin and Marshall university. At the age of 21, he traveled through Ohio on his way to Ann Arbor, Mich., but being dissuaded from his purpose by influential relatives went to Heidelberg college, Tiffin, where he graduated, first in the college and later in the seminary. He was salutatorian at the commencement at Heidelberg, and represented the college in the state oratorical contest at Springfield. While attending seminary at Tiffin, he received an invitation to supply the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church at Sandusky, which he accepted and after graduation accepted a call and became the regular pastor. He continued a pleasant and successful pastorate of nine years and three months. It was during this time that he was married on Nov. 28, 1878, to Miss Nannie Smythe Hughes of Tiffin. Four children were born to this couple, the first two dying in infancy, and the other two sons, Edwin W. and D. Osborne, with their mother surviving him. On Oct. 1, 1886, Dr. Meese accepted a call to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church. It was a small, struggling congregation, occupying the church building at the southwest corner of South Park and South Diamond streets, when he took charge, but with the spirit of youth he entered into the work and made rapid advances in the spiritual vineyard. For more than 22 years he continued in the pastorate, and during that time there was never any serious trouble nor were there any divisions nor dissensions. The debt on the old church amounting to $1,1000 was paid off and in 1893 a new church building erected and paid for at a cost of over $72,000. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him in 1892 by Wittenberg college of Springfield. During his ministry here he held various trusteeships and other responsible positions. These included the secretaryship of the Green Springs academy; trustee of Wooster college for 26 years; member of the Mansfield board of education; director of the Y. M. C. A.; trustee of the Emergency hospital and Mansfield General Hospital association; and trustee of the Richland County Children's home. All these positions of trust came to him without solicitation and indicate the confidence and esteem in which he was held by the citizens of the city. In 1908 was unanimously elected by the board of trustees of the Ohio State reformatory to become chaplain of the institution. The position he has filled ever since with credit to himself and to the state, in that his work helped to make this institution of an even higher rank than before. He was loved among the inmates, and many a boy, who erred, was set on the right path as the result of a talk with him. During the many years of his residence in Mansfield, Dr. Meese has endeared himself to many. It was with great regret and only at his most urgent request that his resignation was received as pastor of the First Presbyterian church. So far as the relations between him and the church were concerned at that time, they were never closer nor more friendly, and there was little, if any doubt, at the time that his pastorate here could have been continued for another score or more years successfully and with the greatest harmony.

Meily, Charles A. -- MANSFIELD MAN KILLED BY AUTO -- Charles A. Meily Struck by Car at Bowman, Park Avenue Crossing. Victim Thrown to Street, Dies in Hospital of Fractured Skull. Charles A. Meily, 69, died at General hospital at 8:45 o'clock Wednesday night, within an hour after he had been struck by an automobile as he was crossing Park avenue west at Bowman street, while returning to his home at 67 Sturges avenue.

Driver Had Light -- According to police, who secured statements of Miss Harrah, Premisich and a witness, the automobile had the green light at Park avenue west and Bowman street as the driver crossed the intersection headed east. Mr. Meily, relatives, say, has not been in good health for several years and wears an overcoat at the slightest suggestions of chilly weather. His coat collar was pulled up around his face as crossed the street and it is believed that he did not notice the stream of traffic. As near as police are able to learn, Miss Harrah saw Mr. Meily an instant before the car struck him. She swerved her car to the right and the left front door handle caught Mr. Meily's arm, throwing him to the street. Geiger's ambulance conveyed the injured man to the hospital where it was learned he had suffered a fracture of the skull, body bruises and a sever cut on the arm. Mrs. Nell M. Kuhn, daughter of Mr. Meily, said that her father enjoyed walking and had been down town during the evening. He was returning to his home when struck. Statements Checked -- In checking statements made by the driver and her companion, police learned the door handle of the machine had been torn off. Miss Harrah and her companion told police that they believed the light was about to change as they crossed the intersection. A witness said that Miss Harrah had the green light in making the cross.

Meily, George W. -- Lifeless Body of West Fifth Street Resident Found This Morning -- Despondency, resulting from continued ill health, is believed to have caused George W. Meily, aged 64 years, 245 West Fifth street, to commit suicide by hanging himself early this morning. The lifeless body of Meily was found at 3 o'clock this morning in a small building adjoining the family home, used for storage purposes. It is believed that death occurred about 2:30 o'clock. Meily retired at the usual hour Thursday evening. Since his illness it has been customary for him to arise at different intervals during the night. At 2 o'clock, according to members of the family he was in bed asleep. One hour later it was discovered that he was missing, and becoming alarmed members of his family instituted a search. Being unable to locate him in any part of the house, the search was carried to the adjoining building where his body was found. Meily has been in ill-health for many years, this having caused his retirement from active business several years ago. He has been brooding over his continued illness and this is believed to have caused his mind to become temporarily unbalanced. The deceased has been a resident of Mansfield for many years. He at one time conducted a grocery store at the corner of Fifth and Maine Streets. In later years, he operated a notion store opposite the Voegele & Dinning company on North Main street. He retired from business several years ago to endeavor to recuperate his health. Meily is survived by his wife, and one daughter, Mrs. E. L. Evans. He is also survived by three brothers, Henry M., Charles A., and Emmanuel Meily, all of this city.

Meily, John -- WHO DID IT?  JOHN MEILY DIES FROM THE EFFECTS OF INJURIES AND EXPOSURE.  John Meily, aged 59 years, died at his home on Pleasant avenue at 7 o'clock last night. It will be remembered, as related in this paper, that  Meily was found in an unconscious condition lying across a tub in the rear of Meily Bros.' grocery on North Main street, Thursday morning, having been out all night previous, exposed to the snow and rain, without being discovered by the police.  The man's body and head were very badly bruised in different places, as, for instance, there were two wounds on top of the head, one on the left and one on the right side of the head, respectively, while the lower left side was also badly bruised, the injuries including three broken ribs.  From outside sources the sons of the injured man learned that he had been in the saloon, just north of the corner of Main and Bloom streets, which is run by Chas. Beiber.  It seems, however, that on the night that Meily was in the saloon the proprietor alleges he was in bed with an election jag of his own on.  Meily left his home at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning and was not seen by any of his family until brought home Thursday morning.  Those in charge of the saloon claim that at 11 o'clock he fell out of a chair on his head and that they replaced him and thought nothing of it.  Later they say that he fell out of the front door on the pavement and returning again also fell out the rear door.  They then kept him out of the saloon, with the result that he remained out in the weather the entire night.  They vigorously deny making an assault  upon the man.  After being taken home Dr. Stewart was called and an examination of the patient was made and Dr. J.H. Craig called in counsel.  Later paralysis of the left side was developed.  Meily remained delirious the greater part of the interval between his finding and death.  Every effort was made to ascertain he came to be bruised in so many places.  During his  conscious moments his sons say he stated that he had been assaulted by two men while in the saloon giving their names.  Messrs  Meily, however, declined to give  the names for publication until they had made a more complete investigation.  The SHIELD man called at the home of the deceased and talked with the members of his family.  They say that Meily, who was arrested recently in Central park for making an impromptu political speech, was  given to talking politics when he had been drinking, and the theory is that he began talking politics in the saloon  above mentioned, and this got into trouble, which led indirectly to his death.  No arrests were made last night in connection with the case, but the police are said to have some information on the matter which is not made public.  Submitted by Sally.  [Richland Shield and  Banner  Saturday November 14, 1891, page 7]

Mickey, Ezra W. -- As briefly announced last week, Ezra W. Mickey died on Saturday, March 15th., 1873, aged 25 years, 4 months and 15 days.  He had been lingering for a long time with a pulmonary complaint making it evident to himself and friends, that in all human probability his days on earth would be few.  He was however fully prepared for the change, and those who mourn his loss know that he is lost on earth as a star is lost, only to shine in a brighter world.  He was one of our young business men, always so full of interest to community, who having chosen a companion, had settled down in life, like many others, expecting to become one our permanent business men.  With bright prospects before them, and buoyant hopes within, they commenced the journey of life together, their happiness only measured by their capacity for its enjoyment, when the Providential hand was seen slowly removing the cup from their lips, and they compelled to taste the bitterness of another, filled with the disappointment of all earthly hopes.  But such is life!  There is no discharge in this war.  All must meet with a similar fate, and sooner or later, death comes to all.  He who doeth all things well, hath ordered it thus;  and it becomes us, hard as it may seem, to submit with Christian resignation.  On Monday, March 17, his remains were followed to their final resting place in Oakland Cemetery, by a large number of sympathizing friends and relatives.  [Shelby Independent News:  27 March 1873, Vol. 5, No. 22]

Mickey, Rebecca Cummins -- Mrs. Rebecca C. Mickey, wife of Mr. Thomas Mickey, died on Friday last at about noon.  Her death was not unexpected, she having been a great sufferer for over a year last past;  hence the intelligence of her death came rather as a relief than otherwise to the many sympathizing friends, who for a long time have been deeply moved, knowing that one so highly esteemed was doomed to suffer so much.  The fact that she had ministered so long, so frequently and so well, at the bedside of so many others, and by her very presence alleviated the sufferings of others;  and that she was now compelled to suffer so much;  and that nothing could be done by them to ease her own afflictions, was in itself a source of deep regret to many.  They knew there was no reasonable hope for her recovery, and hence they felt relieved to know, that she had finally endured it all, and that too so patiently;  and to feel that she had exchanged time for an eternity of bliss, where she forever will enjoy the reward for a life of so much usefulness and love to her neighbors and friends, took away much of that poignancy of grief, that would have been felt, had her death been more sudden and unexpected.  Mrs. Mickey was a universal favorite with our people.  Coming to Shelby in her youth, one of the pioneers, as it were, of the village, she grew to esteem, as the town increased, and her sphere of usefulness enlarged.  She was naturally assigned a leading position in society -- a place she held from first to last, without the least ostentatious effort, but simply of her inherent worth.  Revered by all, for her amiability of character;  for her constant effort to relieve distress and suffering in others;  for her sweet disposition and practical good sense;  she never willfully made enemies, but constantly accumulated and made friends.  Years ago, when sickness and death invaded our home, she was among the very first to exhibit to us these peculiar traits which always called her to homes of affliction, suffering and mourning, and thus endeared herself to those who in times of trial needed assistance and friends;  so that in the many years of her residence in our midst, with the constantly recurring vicissitudes of life, during which time few families have escaped, she was known and loved by all, for in her they always found a sympathizing friend.  Her deeds of charity and benevolence were the reverse of many;  private and unseen by the public, yet general as the necessities of cases presented opportunities.  It was thus that so many learned to love and esteem her.  But she is gone to her reward, and her works do follow her!  Her memory will sweetly linger in many a home and many a heart!  The proudest monument to her memory is already erected in the hearts of her friends.  Her loss to the village is great;  but only in her family and home can it most deeply be felt.  As a wife and mother, she could have had few equals.  No words of ours can add to their consolation.  Their loss in this world is indeed irreparable.  Permit us to say -- parenthetically, that in comparison with the loss of a wife, all other bereavements are trifling.  She who fills so large a space in the domestic heaven;  she who busies herself so unweariedly for the precious ones around her;  bitter are the tears that fall upon her cold and lifeless form!  While living the world now seem to have been an amber colored pathway, where the sun shone upon beautiful flowers, or the stars hung glittering overhead.  The soul lingers upon the past.  No thorns are now remembered.  We think of her now only as all gentleness, all beauty, all purity and love.  But she is dead!  The hands which have ministered so untiringly are folded, white and cold, beneath the gloomy portals of the grave.  The heart, whose every beat measured an eternity of love, lies silent beneath our feet.  The eyes bent over her with smiles, now close above her in tears.  A strange hush is in every room.  Oh! it is a sad home when the wife is gone, when the mother is dead!  We know it all.  We can offer no consolation, but that which religion gives.  we must look up in faith.  Our treasuries are there!  Earth yields only such mortal and perishable treasures.  The flowers of earth die;  the gems of earth fade, and the very gold corrodes and rusts;  but the heavens are permanent.  Like the stars, changeless, cheering and loving are the saints of night.  Not like the false, fading glare of earthly toys, is their pure, imperishable radiance, for they shine as the brightness of the firmament, and as the stars forever and ever.  There are our treasures, our lost ones.  There is our only hope.  Such was the character of Mrs. Mickey.  Such the loss our town sustains;  such the loss to her family;  such the sad bereavement of our friend who must feel betimes as if all of earth was lost.  Our only word of consolation, in this the hour of his deep affliction, must be -- "Look up".  Like the stars of the morning that have faded in the light of a brighter heaven, she is not lost -- only gone before.  Though the brightness of our lives seem on such occasions to be gone -- though the shadows of night seem to fall around us, and the world itself seems a funeral pall, and we look forward into the coming lonely night, yet we must remember there is a dawn follows every twilight, and the sun still shines beyond -- and will shine forever.  Hence we must not give way too much to grief.  Though the loss is great, it affords abundant consolation that a life of so much usefulness, in its active duties as well as example to others, has closed without anything to mar its beauty, or to destroy the sweet memory of her, that lingers in the hearts of all her relatives, neighbors and friends.  Her funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, attended by a VERY large concourse of people.  A funeral sermon will be preached in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday, October 18th., at 11 o'clock, A.M.  [Shelby Independent News:  08 October 1874, Vol. 6, No. 50]

Mickey, Rebecca Cummins -- Died, on Friday, October 2d., after a protracted and painful illness, Mrs. Rebecca Cummins Mickey entered into rest in the 50th. year of her age.  Mrs. Mickey was a sincere Christian.  She united with the Shelby Presbyterian Church thirty-two years ago, and was actively engaged in the Sabbath school work for thirty years, only leaving it, when the Master called her to the valley of suffering.  She belonged to the whole community, for she was identified with its growth, and spiritual interests from her childhood days.  Her birthplace was in the vicinity, and her life-tree grew up amongst us, shading many a weary head and aching heart with her Christian charity.  Her patient gentle disposition won for her many friends.  She was a tried Christian.  She suffered much, but these sufferings only brought her closer to Jesus, and kept her there.  She had nothing to fear, but just waited at the door, till the Master should bid her "come up higher".  Words are useless, where such a life speaks with its thousand tongues.  The community and the cause of Christ has met with a great loss, as the expressions of sympathy at her funeral showed.  She leaves a husband, son and daughter, with many friends, to mourn, but not as those who have no hope.  The following paper was adopted by the Presbyterian Sabbath school last Sabbath morning, and requested it be put on the permanent records of the school, and also to be published in the Independent News:  IN MEMORIAM.  About a year ago, as our teachers and scholars remember, we first missed a faithful one among us.  Sabbath after Sabbath passed and she came not.  This is sadly remembered by those especially whom she faithfully pointed to the Lamb of God.  While we, as a school, looked anxiously each returning Sabbath for the faithful one in Israel, our hopes were crushed, as we heard from time to time that fell disease had taken hold of her, and that her coming and going among us was ended.  To-day words but mockingly tell our sadness as we remember that on last Friday at midday, the voice ever so pleasant, among us, forever hushed, and today, this quiet day of rest, while her spirit communes in heaven with those gone from our school in years past, to-day we solemnly lay her form away to await the resurrection.  But as a school let us feel that -- Inasmuch as God in His infinite wisdom has called Mrs. Rebecca Mickey after her labors of 30 years among us, to His presence and the joys of Heaven, we humbly submit to His will, and bow our heads in sorrow at our loss, and comfort our hearts in knowing that it is her eternal gain.  [Shelby Independent News:  08 October 1874, Vol. 6, No. 50]

Moser, of South Main Street.  Miss Middlesworth's injuries were believed to be fatal from the first, although her friends and physicians hoped that she might recover.  In addition to having both legs broken, Miss Middlesworth suffered internal injuries and the latter probably caused death.  --  [Mansfield Semi-Weekly News:  08 July 1898, Vol. 14, No. 57]

Mitchell, Robert -- Died, July 25, 1889, at his home, three miles southwest of Ontario, Robert Mitchell, aged 78 years, 4 months and 21 days.  Mr. M. was born near Lancaster, Fairfield County, O., Nov. 4, 1810, and in 1816 his father came to this county and located upon the farm where W.B. Millikin now resides, but which was then a dense forest.  Mr. M. was the youngest of eight children and the last member of the family to die.  In 1836 he was united in marriage to Jane Hunter, who still survives him, as do their six children, three sons and three daughters.  He was subscriber of the SHIELD for over forty years.  July 27th. his remains were followed to Pleasant Hill Cemetery by a large concourse of friends and neighbors.  --  [Richland Shield & Banner:  24 August 1889, Vol. LXXII, No. 14]

Mitchell, William -- William McCormick, a brother-in-law of William Mitchell, the old man who died very suddenly at McCahill's boarding house on North Main Street yesterday, is here today looking after the remains of his relative.  The body will be taken to Windsor and buried from the McCormick residence.  The deceased was of Irish descent and 65 years of age.  A News man had an extended talk with Coroner Baughman today and from that official much additional information was gleaned.  When the body was taken charge of by the authorities the exact amount of cash found upon it was $919.65.  This sum was in peculiar shape, the paper money being very dirty.  Of the money, $260 was in gold, all of which was coined before the war.  About $130 of the money was in small change such as nickels and dimes and was probably accumulated as the result of paying for his meals at the Tremont House for so long a time with silver dollars.  There were also four $100 bills.  The money was deposited in the Farmers' National bank by the coroner.  Coroner Baughman and Dr. Davis completed the post mortem examination yesterday afternoon and found that death was the direct result of the bursting of a blood vessel in the man's brain.  The deceased was also afflicted with fatty degeneration of the heart, which would have caused death in a short time in any event.  The story of additional wealth said to be on deposit in an Ashland bank has not yet been verified, according to Probate Judge Brinkerhoff and Coroner Baughman.  Among the other things found on Mitchell's body was a deed for a farm of 160 acres of land in Canada.  The wife of the deceased lives about one and a half miles west from Amoy.  Mrs. Mitchell was formerly married to a man named Robinson, by whom she had several children, it is stated.  Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell had one child, a daughter, but she died some time ago.  Mitchell and his wife have not lived together for more than 20 years.  The old man got it into his head that it was his duty to convert the "court house ring" and that was his reason for holding preaching and other services about the band stand in Central park.  He had an idea that the band stand and fountain cover had something to do with the "court house ring".  Coroner Baughman stated to a News man that some time ago he went into probate court for the purpose of having an inquest of insanity held for William Mitchell, but that the court was busy at the time and he let the matter go.  The property left by the deceased will probably go to the widow.  --  [Semi-Weekly News (Mansfield):  08 February 1898, Vol. 14, No. 11]
