BLOW ON HEAD BELIEVED TO HAVE CAUSED DEATH; AUTOPSY MAY BE HELD
Ralph Hughes, aged 16, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Reiss,
632 1-2 Walnut st., died Saturday morning at 7 o'clock from what is believed
brain fever or encephalitis altho the disease had not been diagnosed by the
attending physician.
It is likely that the physician will hold an autopsy to
determine the exact cause of the boy's death. He had been ill three weeks.
A few years ago the lad was struck on the back of the head by
a baseball and it is believed that this injury may have resulted in brain fever,
causing his death.
Ralph was born in Bedford-tp. on September 5, 1907. He
resided there with his parents until he reached five years of age and then moved
to Roscoe. Later they moved to Coshocton where the boy resided ever since.
He attended school in Roscoe and in this city. At the time he
quit school here he was a member of the sophomore class.
There are surviving his mother and one sister, Mrs. Ruth De
Mor, Main-st, and four step-brothers and sisters, of the late home.
No funeral arrangements had been completed late Saturday
afternoon. (submitted by Ida Maack Recu)

SPIRIT OF EZRA LYNDE TAKES FLIGHT
Ezra H. Lynde, one of Coshocton's aged and highly respected
citizens, was summoned to the great beyond shortly after 6 o'clock Friday
evening. Mrs. Lynde, his faithful helpmate through life, and his only son,
William R. Lynde, were at his side as he breathed his last.
For almost eighty years he has weathered the storms of life
but for the past ten or twelve months he has been in ill health. An attack of
grip was followed by general debility finally ending in death. He has been
confined to his bed only since last Wednesday, and was conscious to the last.
Mr. Lynde was born in Dunkirk, N. Y., Sept. 23, 1823. While
he was still very young his parents moved to Watertown. When he was about
fifteen years old he came to Newark, O., and entered college at Granville. He
worked at the tinner's trade with his brother for three years and then went to
the west, where he spent several years. He came back in 1850 and settled at
Roscoe. Four years later he was united in marriage to Miss Anna M. Ransom, of
Roscoe. In 1881 they moved to Coshocton and have lived here ever since with the
exception of two years spent in Kansas. Three children were born to them, viz.
Frank, deceased; Charles E., deceased, and William R. One sister, Mrs. Nina
Strickland, of this city, is the only other near relative living.
S. H. Nichols, one of Mr. Lynde's warn admirers, tells a
number of interesting incidents in connection with Mr. Lynde's life as they were
related to him. On one occasion while Mr. Lynde was working in Springfield,
Ill., his employer happened to send him to set up a stove at the home of Abraham
Lincoln. This was long before the honest rail splitter had become famous. The
stove consisted of a number of pieces which had to be bolted together.
"Honest Abe," who was the only one at home, assisted Mr. Lynde in
arranging the pieces. After they had finished, Mr. Lincoln went to the cellar
and drew a pitcher of cider and hunted up a plate of doughnuts. With this
luncheon between them the two young men spent a pleasant half hour in
conversation, which Mr. Lynde never forgot. He saw Mr. Lincoln many times
afterward and noted the changes in his temperament. A lion in times of war and
strangely gently in his home life were the traits which impressed Mr. Lynde.
At another time he heard Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and a Mr.
Stanberry, in St. Louis. They were trying a celebrated will case and afterwards
made addresses to the citizens who turned out en masse. Mr. Lynde's powers of
observation were very keen and he remembered the peculiarities and mannerisms of
each speaker.
"In private life," says Mr. Nicholas, "Ezra
Lynde was above reproach. He loved his family and they loved him."
Funeral services were conducted at the residence on Walnut
street, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. Dr. Hamilton, and interment was
made at the Roscoe cemetery. The I. O. O. F. lodge, of which he has been a
member since 1849, had charge of the funeral. (submitted by Ida Maack Recu)
