last Sunday morning after a week's illness. The remains were buried at Hop

New Philadelphia--Absalom Tucker was born December 10, 1826, one and half
miles east of this village and died February 8, 1899, aged 72 years, 1 month
and 28 days. February 20, 1850, he and Eliza J. Coffin were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony, and in April 1867 (difficult to read), he became a
member of the New Philadelphia Baptist Church, the late Rev. William McCoy
performing his marriage ceremony and administering the rite of immersion to
him. He and his wife spent 47 happy years together on their well-kept farm
one mile east of town when, on July 26, 1897, Mrs. Tucker died. To them
were born eight (difficult to read) children, three of whom are living,
namely Eugene A. Tucker, a successful farmer in Nebraska, Mrs. Faney
(difficult to read, consider Fanny a spelling variant), Robinson of Omaha,
and Mrs. Alge (difficult to read) H. Gibbs of this place. They with 16
grandchildren and a host of friends mourn the departure of this estimable
couple. Mr. Tucker's remains were laid to rest by the side of his wife in
Beech Grove Cemetery on last Friday afternoon after an impressive funeral
service conducted by Rev. J. M. Carter of Salem.

Livonia--One of the most shocking accidents that ever happened here took
place Monday at about half past eleven o'clock at the grist mill at this
place. Green Huff while attempting to adjust a belt, by giving away of a
scaffold, was thrown into the wheels and killed instantly, horribly mangling
the body and tearing his clothes into threads. There was no one in the mill
at the time of the accident except the engineer, Lee McPheeters, who was
down to the engine room. He discovered that something was wrong with the
machinery, went above to see the cause, and a horrible sight met his eyes.
The body was still in the wheels while flesh, blood and clothing of the
unfortunate man were scattered over the floor. He went below and stopped
the mill and gave the alarm, and the remains were gathered up and taken to
his home. Mr. Huff was a soldier in the war of 1861-65 and was about 60
years old. He has been for many years employed by Sam A. Patton to run the
mill and is known to all as an honest, upright man, always fair in his
dealings with everyone, and a loving husband and father. He leaves a wife
and several children single and two daughters married. All have heart-felt
sympathy of the entire community. It will be remembered that a few years
ago a son was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun while out hunting.
The funeral occurred at the Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock
conducted by Rev. J. K. Howard assisted by Rev. Shelt (difficult to read)
after which his body was laid at rest in the Livonia Cemetery

Columbus, Ind., Dec. 31-A terrible accident happened here this afternoon by
which Guy Griffith, aged 15 years, son of Len Griffith, a prominent grain
dealer, lost his life. His boy in company with two others were out in a
rickety old boat on Flatrock River when it upset. Two of the boys got
ashore, but the Griffith boy sunk and was seen no more. The body had not
been found at four o'clock. He was an intelligent boy and the idol of his
parents. The river is very high and the recovery of the body is doubtful.
