Moon, Edward -- Edward Moon, a young man 18 years of age, met with a very sudden death Thursday morning about 10:30 o'clock while plowing on the Dr. Jones farm three miles north of the city.  For the past four years he has been working for W.S. Etzwiler, the tenant on the Jones farm, Mr. Etzwiler having taken Moon from the Ashland County Infirmary and the young man has been with him ever since.  Moon was engaged in plowing in one of the fields of the farm.  He was sitting on a sulky plow which was pulled by three horses.  A few minutes before the fatality occurred Mr. Etzwiler had been in the field working near Moon but had gone to the house for something.  While he was gone the accident occurred.  While the horses were turning at a corner of the field, they became tangled up and one of the animals fell on top of Moo.  The horses all fell and were unable to get up until a man named Crall, who lives near, saw the trouble and came to the rescue.  It seems that Moon was gasping when Crall arrived and when Etzwiler arrived a little later the unfortunate young man was dead.  The body was removed to the farm house.  Mr. Etzwiler came into the city Thursday afternoon and informed the infirmary directors of the death, and the Ashland County directors were in turn notified.  Mr. Etzwiler does not know whether or not the young man has relatives living.  It is thought that Moon was in the Ashland County infirmary several years before Etzwiler took him.  [Semi-Weekly News:  28 May 1897, Vol. 13, No. 43]

Muscroft, S.J. -- MUSCROFT -- At his home near Mansfield, January 2d., 1884, S.J. Muscroft, author of Drummer Boy of Shiloh, aged 45 years. The subject of this sketch was of English parentage and was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, January 19th., 1838. Death removed his parents when he was at the tender age of 4 years, leaving him to be nurtured and cared for by relatives. The child growing into boyhood, soon manifested a courageous spirit. His self-reliance and determination grew with age. Having soon acquired habits of industry and thrift he was always self-supporting. As a soldier, he enlisted at Mansfield, August 6th., 1862, in Co. B., 102d. O.V.I., serving with credit and distinction in several battles, the hardships of a soldier's life soon told on his health -- being sent to Athens, he was captured by Gen. Forrest and sent with other sick comrades to Cahawba, Miss., where suffering the hardships of a prison for 9 months, he was exchanged at Vicksburg. Mr. Muscroft was widely known as the author of "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh". His fertile brain and sympathetic heart doubtless caught inspiration from the pathetic story of the finding of the little drummer boy on Shiloh's field, his tender care by little innocent hands, &c. which, coupled with his own experiences and hardships, his genius wove into the beautiful and pathetic drama of the "Drummer Boy of Shiloh" performed and appreciated all over the land. Mr. Muscroft was married to Mrs. E. Baker, daughter of John Hull, Sr., May 17th., 1875, the issue of said union belong three daughters, who survive him and mourn the departure of a kind and affectionate husband and indulgent father. That he had talent and genius none will gainsay. Of a kind and generous nature, he was always more ready to give than receive. His charity was boundless as his fidelity and integrity were tried and true, which qualities of head and heart far outshone his faults which were but human. His death was not wholly unexpected by his neighbors and friends, who so kindly and willingly nursed him through a long and painful sickness, which he bore with a calm and Christian fortitude so meekly. His requests were fully carried out, his remains being escorted to the Episcopal Church, after appropriate and impressive remarks, were made by Rev. Dr. Doolittle, Venus Lodge of the Masons, of which he was a worthy member, took charge and buried him according to the beautiful ritual of that Order. The deceased was also a member of the Knights of Honor and of the Grand Army of the Republic, which latter organization paid a beautiful tribute to the memory of their deceased comrade by turning out a large escort to the cemetery in very inclement weather. Thus have we buried our Brother, comrade and friend. Farewell. As we drop the sympathetic tear we also deposit another flower on thy new made grave. -- [MANSFIELD HERALD, 10 January 1884, Vol. 34, No. 8]

Myers, Amos M. -- ACCIDENT, An Old Resident is Killed.  As the result of the breaking of the “kingbolt” in his carriage on Saturday night, Amos M. Myers, aged 65 years, residing about six miles northeast of the city, was thrown from his carriage and died Sunday afternoon as the result of his injuries.  He leaves a wife but no children.  The accident occurred about 6 o’clock in the evening as Myers was driving to his home, after making his regular Saturday trip this city, about a mile from Spring Mill on the Spring Mill road, near the farm of W.S. Leppo.  About 7 o’clock, James Wentz, rural mail carrier on route No. 1, stopped a team of runaway horses near his home in Spring Mill.  The team were harnessed but were free from any vehicle.  Wentz recognized the horses as belonging to Amos Myers, and, suspecting trouble of some sort, went back up the road in the direction from which the horses had come.  He found Myers lying face downward in the road, where he had fallen when thrown from the buggy.  Examination showed that the “kingbolt” had broken letting the front end of the carriage down, thus precipitating Myers into the road.  The fall fractured his skull and he never regained consciousness although this death did not occur until 4:45 o’clock Sunday afternoon. <<Text illegible>> as Myers was driving alone when it took place.  The general idea, however, is that while going along at a fair gait, the carriage went over a stone or some other obstruction, the shock causing the “kingbolt” which holds the carriage body to the front axle to snap.  This threw Myers from the buggy, at the same time losing the horses and frightening them so that they ran away, the singletree, and front wheels being lost by the roadside during the mad course of the crazed team from the scene of the accident to Spring Mill.  The funeral will take place Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock from the residence of the deceased.  The burial will be made at Zider’s Cemetery.  Amos M. Myers has been a resident of Richland County all his life, coming there with his parents six week after his birth in Pennsylvania.  He is one of the old residents of the county and has a wide circle of friends and acquaintances who will be shocked to hear of his sudden and tragic death.  – reprinted from Monday’s (Mansfield Daily) Shield.  [Butler Times:  15 August 1903, Vol. XI, No. 4]
