IN MEMORIAM. Mrs. Ollie Boles, the beloved wife of Dr. R.S. Boles, of Lucas, O., passed away from all her earthly joys, hopes, disappointments and sufferings, on Sunday morning, July 3, 1887, in the 34th. year of her age. She was a woman of marked intelligence, judgment and tenderness. She leaves a fond husband, a dear babe and a foster-child (through her peculiar tact she won the affection of the child and love gradually became mutual), and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her irreparable loss. Everything was done that tender affection and medical skill could do to prevent the ravages of disease but all in vain. Her sun went down while it was yet day. The interment took place on Tuesday morning in the presence of a very large gathering of relatives and friends who fully sympathized with Dr. Boles in his deep and frequent afflictions. In fact all were mourners and "wept with those that weep". The funeral obsequies were conducted at the Congregational church, of which she was a member and the organist. The Rev. D. Mitterling, of the Lutheran church, introduced the service. The Rev. D. Sebastian Jones, her pastor, preached from Psalms 23-4. The Rev. James w. Hubbell, of Mansfield, addressed the mourners especially. The church was tastefully decorated with choice flowers expressive of the feelings of her friends. The vacant chair in the choir and the organ were draped. There was a dark cloud emptying its contents of storm and floods; but in the midst of it all we can see that it is fringed and lined with silver. May the mourners and friends be enabled to look up to the Divine Father for help and comfort, who has lovingly promised never to leave us nor forsake us. <<poetry omitted>> Marriage Licenses Issued: George M. Troop & Ella Cromer; William G. Colwell & Mary M. Ritter; John H. Hammond & Sarah Kern.

Plaintiff alleges that since he discovered the fact of her pregnancy he has refused to live with said defendant and prays that he may be divorced. "Aunty" Bradford, the well known colored woman of this city, died at her home on Marion Avenue, Tuesday evening, after a lingering illness of a little over a year. She was about 70 years of age. Her early life was spent in Texas in the household of Sam Houston, having been born on his plantation. Her mother, she claimed, was a beautiful Creole woman, while her father had Indian blood in his veins. She early went to New York City, where she married a colored coachman, who removed with her to this city after the death of their only child. She became familiar with many of the scenes of the late rebellion as the servant of Col. Ford's daughter. Her husband died soon after the war, since which time she has been able by her industry and frugality to pay for her home and earn a competency. As a caterer at social events she was unexcelled, and displayed in everything she attempted wonderful executive ability. "Aunty" Bradford was the especial friend of the children of this city. Her kindly ministrations to the sick and needy won for her the grateful remembrance of many friends. The funeral of the deceased was held from the Congregational Church, of which she has long been a member, at 4 o'clock p.m. Thursday and was largely attended. John McClellan died yesterday morning at his home on Spring Mill Street, at the age of 33 years. For the past twelve years, with the exception of two years, he has been an employee of the B.&O.

The funeral will take place Saturday at four p.m. In an article in last week's paper concerning the death of Mrs. Dr. Boles, of Lucas, it was stated that the deceased left a child five weeks old. We should have said it was four months old instead of five weeks. Walter W. Enos, formerly of this city, but recently with R.J. Hurd & Co., of Ashtabula, was married to Miss Rose Calvin at the latter place a week ago Thursday evening. The bride is represented to be one of Ashtabula's fairest daughters and "Walt" has the congratulations of his many friends at his former home. The funeral of Fred. F. Black, the engineer who died suddenly on last Thursday, which was held Sunday afternoon, was one of the largest ever held in this city. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. H.L. Wiles and the interment was under the auspices of the I.O.O.F. and the order of B. of L.E., of which over 200 members in a body followed their deceased brother to his last resting place. Friends from the above organizations came from Toledo, Alliance, Galion and Crestline by special trains. The floral tributes were numerous and exceedingly fine. Deceased was immensely popular among those he came in contact with as a railroader, and had many friends in this city which has been his headquarters for fifteen years. At the time of his death he held the position of engine dispatcher on the N.W.O. railway, having been promoted to the place four years ago. Independence. A.D. Craig, of Ft. Wayne, attended the funeral of his grandfather here Saturday afternoon. Independence. On the afternoon of the 7th. inst., Joseph Craig, the oldest man in Worthington Township, departed this life at his home in Independence, Richland Co., Ohio. Under the weight of many years his strength gradually failed him, until, without any mortal disease, and without a struggle, the silver chord was loosened and a grand good old man passed to the sprit world, surrounded by those who have watched over him so long and made his last days conformable. Grandfather Craig was born in Baltimore County, Md., Jan. 29, 1797, and consequently was in his ninety-first year when he died. He lived two years in Muskingum county and in 1829 removed to Independence, O., where he ever afterwards resided. He was twice married; first to Miss Hess, and afterwards to Margaret Speer in 1824, who shared his joys and toils till 1884, when she preceded him to the glory world. He was the father of three children, grandfather of five and great-grandfather of eleven. The only child living is James, who succeeds him in ownership of the old farm. The deceased was a man whom every one loved for his kind, genial spirit, his firm, unyielding character, his unquestioned honesty and cheerful, Christian profession. He was a member of the Presbyterian church more than sixty years. Very few men possessed the constitution nature had given him. He came to this section of country when it was a frowning forest; he left it a sun-lit thriving village. The ringing of his axe made way for the ringing of school and church bells. The friends of his youth left him one by one, and, as the post says, "When he is forsaken, Withered and shaken, What can an old man do but die?" In addition to the above (which was contributed by Rev. W.O. Scott) we can only add that the late Joseph Craig was born a Jacksonian Democrat and never missed a Presidential election (and very few other elections) after he became old enough to vote, during his whole long and useful Democratic life, casting his last vote for President Cleveland. In his death the Democratic party has sustained the irreparable loss of one of its pioneer brothers. 23 July 1887, Vol. LXX, No. 9 Independence.
