You there----I here----though separated
We still at heart are one.

The shadows scarcely gone.

Bargahiser


Susan Bargahiser was born in Licking County, Ohio, July the 10th, 1800, and
died May the 25th, 1878, aged 77 years, 10 months, and 15 days.
Mrs. Bargahiser's maiden name was Eshelman. Soon after her marriage to
Levi Bargahiser, they moved to the place of her late residence in the fall of 1819.

Mr. Bargahiser entered the quarter section in 1815, and paid for it with the proceeds
of daily labor. On this then unimproved land in the forest, when the red men still
roamed, and the wild beasts prowled, the young couple commenced the journey
of life together, enduring all the privations, sacrifices, and hardships, incident to
pioneer life. By industry and economy, they provided things honestly for their
temporal wants and made themselves a comfortable and valuable home.

Mrs. Bargahiser was the mother of five children: two sons and three daughters,
two of which number with her husband, have proceeded her to the eternal
world, and now she too has left us, the last one of the first settlers in this
vicinity. One generation cometh and another goeth. Where are our fathers
and mothers? They lived and labored, had their joys and sorows, for a short
day of life, till the evening came and they departed to have no more, any
portion forever in all that is done under the sun. Peace to their ashes
and may their memory ever be sacred.

The funeral of Mrs. Bargahiser took place last Monday at 1 o'clock. Appropriate services were conducted at her late residence, Rev.
D. Summers which were largely attended by people from the town
and surrounding country. The interment took plave at the Oakland Cemetery by the side of her husband.

"Side by side they're sweetly sleeping,
Until recalled by Him!
Who captive lead captivity.
Who robbed the grave of victory,
And took the sting from death."

sense of the term. She was especially watchful over the poor of the village
and until recently she visited them in person when advancing years became a
check to her activity and she had to distribute her charity through friends.
Many hearts in Plymouth mourn at the death of this grand old lady.

wife of Crestline, Hon. George M. Stroup of Blaine, Perry county, Pennsylvania

have been notified but as the distance is so great only the nearest relatives
are expected. This was the old home of the deceased. Mrs. Harrison Mickey
was is a sister-in-law of the deceased and Harry Mickey is a nephew.

S.S. Bloom was born in Waterford, Junuatta County, Penn., March 11, 1834,
the son of George Bloom and Mary Ann Stambaugh. His mother died when
he was six days old, and by then became a member of his grandfather’s family,
John Stambaugh, near Blain, Perry County Pa.

His elementary education commenced before common schools existed in
Pennsylvania, but after the adoption of that system he attended the district
schools till 1850. In 1851 he was chosen to teach his own district school, and
then attended the academy at Bloomfield, Pa. He taught school every year until 1858.

He was married to Miss Anna Mary Stambaugh of Mifflin, Pa., his own mother’s
name but not family, on December 25, 1855, and with her moved to Shelby
in March of 1856, but she died in 1857 , he making it his home ever since,
with the exception of a few years in Columbus, Ohio.

He first became a permanent resident of Shelby in 1854, and is now among the
few who were then residents of the town. He was deputy postmaster from
1855 to 1860 in Shelby and again postmaster from 1888 to 1890, being
superseded by an appointment by President Harrison in 1890, because he
was a Democrat. In 1857 he was elected township clerk, and after that Mayor of
Shelby and after that Justice of the peace, which he held until after
the war commenced in ‘61.

He was elected Representative from Richland County in the years 1863, 1865, 1877,
1887, and 1879 and in 1880 was the candidate for the Democrats for Speaker
of the House, and for two years led the Democrats in the House of Representatives.

While a member of the House he was on the committee on Agriculture, and helped
frame, perfect and pass the law organizing the Agriculture college, now the Ohio
State University. He was also a member of the committee on Benevolent Institutions;
twice the judiciary committee; a member of the committee on finance, on revision,
joint committee on insurance and codification. He carried through the legislature
the law requiring the supervision of insurance companies in 1865 and was on
many special committees and conferences between the house and senate, and
earned the reputation of being one of the hardest workers on the floor of the
house, always at his post and never shirking a duty.

In 1864 he was admitted to practice law in the supreme court of Ohio and
subsequently in the United States District and Circuit Courts in
Cleveland, Ohio. During the sessions of legislation from ’78 to ’81
he was much occupied with the codification of our laws and published,
"Popular Editions of the Laws of Ohio." a work of about 1000 pages, of which
about eight thousand copies were sold.

He was the author of many amendments and slight changes in our laws. He
introduced the first bull to pay the State debt of Ohio by installments
since which the state debt has constantly decreased until less than a million
of it remains, In 1881 he was named as candidate for governor but promptly
declined because he was "too poor to run." He was also named as candidate
for the constitutional convention, but the Hon. Barnabas becoming a
candidate, he refused to canvass for the position, and was defeated in the
convention by a small majority. So also was he named for congress,
and while president of the of the congressional convention had nearly
sixty votes, outside of Richland county for congress cast for him, the other
twenty five, by virtue of the unit rule, refused to permit the whole forty two
to be cast for him, and General Findly became the nominee and was elected.
He was, years ago, one of the school directors of Shelby; moved and helped
adopt the course of study and to issue certificates to graduates of our
high school.

In 1858 he published the Pioneer, subsequently the Gazette, and finally in
1868 established the Shelby News with which he was connected till 1889, thus
being the pioneer of the printing press in Shelby. In 1881, he first established the
telephone in Shelby and held its management for seven years.

In 1859 he married Mrs. Jane Smiley, widow of David Smiley and youngest sister
of the Hon. H. Mickey, with whom he had six children, Willis P., Lula J.,
wife of Dr. M. T. Love; and Ethel M, wife of Lamar J, Dalie of Springfield.
His first wife and son died in Shelby in 1857; and three daughters
since then, children of his second wife who died on April 1, ‘96.
He has been heard to say his children were all born and his two wives
had died within a circle of four hundred feet in Shelby.

In 1891 he moved to Columbus, Ohio, and practiced law in that city,
but his wife in failing health, he was compelled to move back to Shelby.

He is the author of a work entitled "Why We Are Democrats" of which thousands
of copies have been sold, he also edited "Earth’s Angels or Hidden Oppression."

His life has been a busy one, editor, publisher, author, attorney;
during all of these years he has never been idle. He became disgusted
with political life in 1881, and vowed he would never again be a candidate and
refused to be come a candidate for congress from this district.

Carlisle


CARLISLE - In Auburn Tp., Crawford Co., O., Jan 13, 1877
Harvey C. CARLISLE, in the 71st year of his age.

For more than forty years Bro. CARLISLE had been an active and efficient member of the Auburn
Baptist Church. So long as he could attend its service, his seat was seldom, if ever, vacant at any
of the meeting. He loved the cause of Christ and the society of God's people.

None, perhaps, outside of his own family have felt more the weight of Bro. CARLISLE's
Christian influence during his two years sickness than has his youthful pastor. His testimony
to the love of Christ, so cheerfully borne in the meetings of the church, was confirmed by
the testimony of his later experience on the bed of suffering and death. Oh, that his spirit of
devotion to Christ, and his faithful performance of Christian duty, might be equally manifested
in all of us who remain.

Funeral services were conducted by his pastor, assisted by Rev. Dr. HALL, and a former pastor,
Rev. Thomas BODLEY. Sermon from Matt. xxiv. 44; "Be ye also ready; for in such an hour as
ye think not the Son of man cometh."

was a very great sufferer, but endured all with patience which was marvelous to those who
knew her best. And one of the marvelous things was the retaining of her sound mind in
this time of sickness. Rev. E. R. HEYWOOD, pastor of the Auburn Baptist church
