Joseph Mikesell.
Joseph Mikesell died at his home in Warren township on Friday, Sept. 24, after a
lingering illness, the result of an attack of grip several years ago. Mr. Mikesell was 50
years of age and a native of Warren township, his father, Hiram Mikesell, being one of the
early settlers of that township. He was a good farmer and a man very much respected by
all who knew him. He leaves a wife and four children, besides his father, one brother,
Marion Mikesell, and three sisters, Mrs. Hay, Mrs. Hollingshead and Mrs. Van Buskirk, all
residents of this county. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
from Monson chapel and was largely attended. The interment was in Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
