MRS. CATHERINE RUGG, A PIONEER OF COUNTY, DIES
One of Oldest Residents of City Died At Home of Son, W. R. Smith, Today.
Nearly 87 Years Old
Came to Adams County With Parents When County Was Still Wilderness.
Catherine Rowley Rugg, 86, a beloved pioneer of Adams county and one of the oldest residents of Decatur, died at the home of her son, W. R. Smith, 325 North Third street, at 12:15 o'clock this morning. Death was due to infirmities of old age and paralysis and had been bedfast for the past four weeks.
Mrs. Rugg's home was on Ninth street, but she had been at her son's home for the last six weeks. Prior to that time she lived alone part of the time and spent the remainder of the time with her children. Until recently Mrs. Rugg had been blessed with remarkably fine health for a person of her age. She still has all of her natural teeth, only one of them having been filled.
Catherine Rowley, daughter of Tilmon and Elizabeth Rowley, was born in Clark county, Ohio, October 26the, 1836. She came to Adams county Indiana, with her parents when a small child. At that time this county was unimproved and it was necessary for the elder Rowleys to cut roads through the wilderness. They resided in Root township. Catherine was married to Franklin B. Smith, who came to Adams county with his parents from Pennsylvania. To this union were born eight children, four of whom lived to maturity. The four, who are still living are W. R. Smith, of this city; M. L. Smith, of Berne; Mrs. V. L. Shaffer, of Monroeville; and Mrs. J. T. Dailey, of east of this city. Mr. Smith died in 1871.
On June 20, 1876, Mrs. Smith was married to Jay Rugg, a son of Samuel Rugg, one of the founders of the city of Decatur. To this union were born two children, one of whom died in infancy, and the other, Mrs. Gertrude Cashen, died last spring. Mr. Rugg died on November 1, 1896. Mrs. Rugg resided on her farm in Root township for several years after the death of her husband, but finally moving to this city.
Mrs. Rugg was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal church, of Decatur. She was loved by all who knew her and she was regarded as one of the finest ladies of the community.
Besides the four children, named above, Mrs. Rugg is survived by one brother, Jacob Rowley, of south of this city, and one sister, Mrs. N. J. Neher (Neber?), of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Funeral services will be held from the First Methodist church at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon unless circumstances make it necessary to change the time. The Rev. U. S. A. Bridge, pastor of the church, will have charge of the services. Burial will be made in the Maplewood cemetery.

J. B. BUHLER DEAD
Well Known Resident Succumbed Last Night, Following a Decline Of Many Months
Was Veteran Blacksmith -- Funeral Will Be Monday Afternoon
Following a decline of a year and a half, from diabetes, the last five weeks of which were most serious, Jacob B. Buhler, veteran blacksmith of the city, and late merchant, passed away at his home on Jefferson street last night.
Mr. Buhler, while born at North Manchester, March 4, 1859, making him a little past sixty years of age, was a resident of this city the greater part of his life. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Buhler, Sr., came to this county when he was but two years old, and took a farm east of the city, where they lived until the son, Jacob, was thirteen years old. The family then came to this city and made their home in the residence where Mr. Buhler's death occurred. With the exception of a short residence on Eighth street, he had made his home at this one place, since his parents moved here, forty-seven years ago.
Mr. Buhler in young manhood, learned the blacksmith's trade and he devoted himself to that until six years ago. Two years later he entered the grocery business. He established a grocery at the corner of Adams and Seventh street which he conducted the past four years.
He was married May 3, 1893, to Miss Florence Beatty, whose death occurred October 10, 1910. To them were born four children, all of whom are living. They are Mrs. Ruth Beatty, of Hammond; Lillian, Lucile and Gordon, at home. November 27, 1912, he was married to Mrs. Bina Campbell Lhamon, who survives. Stepchildren are Mrs. Frank Young and Ralph Lhamon.
There are two brothers living - Chester Buhler, of Hammond; and Samuel Buhler, of Elkhart.
Mr. Buhler was a member of the Odd Fellows lodge of this city for the past forty years, and was its oldest member. The Odd Fellows will have charge of the funeral services, which will be held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. J. Ed Stone, of the Baptist church, assisted by the Rev. A. H. Saunders, of the Presbyterian church. Burial will be in the Decatur cemetery.
