Died:
Amspoker
On the 20th inst., at the residence of her husband, Jonas Amspoker, in Westland township, Mrs. Mary Ann Amspoker, aged 37 years.
Hoopman
October 24th, 1871 in Guernsey county, Ohio, seven miles south of Cambridge, Lucinda A. Hoopman, wife of Isaac Hoopman, and daughter of Rowland and Catharine Rogers, in the 65th year of her age.
Sister Hoopman was born in Har?ford County, Maryland, January 4th, 1807; united with the church in 1820; was married to Isaac Hoopman, December 4th, 1823, and in 1837 they moved to Guernsey county, where they have resided up to the date of her death.
The writer became acquainted with the deceased about 33 years since, at which time her house was not only a good home for the preacher, but also the place of preaching. A better wife, mother, and Christian it would be hard to find. Her end was peace.
On the 25th, after a suitable discourse by her old pastor to a very large audience, her mortal remains were laid in the grave, waiting the morning of a glorious resurrection.
It was hard for husband, children, brother and sisters, with many other dear friends, who all loved her so much, to take their final leave, but they all expect to meet their loved one in that brighter, better land. J. Burns.
Smith
At the Ohio Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans’ Home, at Xenia, on the morning of the 13th inst., of inflammation of the stomach and bowels, Charles G. Smith, late of Cambridge, Ohio, in the 15th year of his age.
His father Jacob Smith, of the 26th O.V.I, died in the military prison at Andersonville, Ga., August 10th, 1864, a victim of rebel barbarism.
Charles was a youth of much promise. He was manly beyond his years, too proud to do a mean act, and too conscientious to perform a dishonest one. He was kind and considerate to his companions-gentle and loving to his teachers-truthful and honorable in all things. His death has cast a gloom over the Home, where he was much beloved, and where his memory will long be cherished.
His mother arrived just as a kind friend was closing his eyes. Had the telegram which was sent in the morning before his death been delivered as it should have been, instead of being deposited in the Post office, she would have reached Xenia in season to have smoothed his dying pillow, heard his last words, and to have comforted him as he passed through the “dark valley” with a mother’s sympathy and love.
The funeral was attended on Saturday, 14th inst. An interesting and feeling address was delivered by Rev. McMillan, of Xenia. The children of the home sang some of their sweet and plaintive hymns, and seventy-five of them, with the officers and teachers, and many citizens of Xenia, followed his remains to the beautiful city cemetery and deposited them in the grave.
His is the first death that has occurred at the Home in eighteen months-since it became a State institution. Com. Xenis, Ohio, October 14, 1871.

Post Mortem Examination of Miss Lyons:
A post mortem examination was made upon the body of Miss Mary Lyons, of New Concord, Ohio, who was operated upon for the removal of a tumor from the breast, by Dr. Barbour, assisted by Drs. Simons, Wall, Hoge and Taylor, on Tuesday, the 7th inst., and who died very suddenly upon the morning of the 8th.
The examination was made by, and in the presence of, Drs. Barbour, Simmons, Wall, Hoge, Taylor, McCall, Black and Arnold, and revealed the fact that nearly every important organ in the body was in a state of organic disease, to such an extent as to render it positively certain that her life would have been of a very brief duration even if she had not undergone the operation. The immediate cause of death proved to have been organic diseases of the structures of the heart, the walls of which were found to have undergone felly degeneration, the left side so thinned as to leave but little power for the propulsion of the blood, and the right cavity almost obliterated by thickening of its walls, which favored the formation within it of a firm clot, thus leading to death.
In addition to this, was found extensive disease of both lungs, the stomach and that portion of the bowels immediately connected with this organ. Here was found chronic inflammation and ulceration with complete destruction of the mucous membrane lining these organs.
The unanimous conclusion arrived at was, that the shock of the operation was too great for an organization so seriously diseased as hers proved to be.

Death of Judge Way
Judge Way was found dead on the street in Woodsfield on Wednesday morning of last week. The Barnesville Enterprise says:
He had been spending the latter part of the previous evening at Musterman’s? Hotel in company with Messrs Clark, Campbell and Adams of St. Clairsville, and was last seen alive by them when they told him good night. Mr. Campbell had asked the Journal of the Belmont Common Pleas Court to Judge Way to have it signed by him. But he deterred signing it on that evening because he desired to make a few more entries in the morning and could not see well at night. At three o’clock in the morning Mrs Way became alarmed for her husband’s safety, and braving the storm that was then raging, went out to find him. She passed within a few feet of him, but her search, as well as that of other parties, did not reveal his presence. About seven o’clock Wednesday morning the remains were discovered in the street leading from the hotel to the Judge’s residence, and within, fifty yards of his brother’s door. He lay upon his back, sleeping the calm sleep of death, with his face and body covered with a mantle of snow, which had fallen after he died. A glass lantern with the candle burned to its socket, was standing on one side of him, and an umbrella was lying on the other. The scene that ensued after the discovery of the remains, is described as heart-rending.
Duke Farrar has dubbed himself M. D. In his last week’s issue he excepts to the opinions expressed by Doctors Wall, Hoge, Simons, tingle, Taylor and others as to the cause of the death of Miss Mary Lyons. We have long been aware that the Duke was the only lawyer of ability in town, but to know that he is the only thorough medical gentleman, and that from his own pen, is a bit of information that will surprise many of his own acquaintances.

Obituary
Clendening
Died, at his residence near Freeport, Harrison county, Ohio, November 29, Mr. James Clendening.
The subject of this memoir was a man well known to many of the citizens of Guernsey county, as he lived in Washington for some time, and did an extensive business. Thus he formed many acquaintances, all of whom will receive the painful intelligence of his death with sorrowful feelings. Mr. Clendening was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was ever true to its doctrines and practices, earnest and consistent in all outward forms, and with a commendable zeal he labored of the growth and success, of the church of his choice. His manner was truly pleasing, his address ever courteous and kind-very obliging to his friends and ever repulsed with scorn those things that were mean and disreputable. He had in the vicinity where he lived warm friends who will mourn his loss. But he has gone-gone from his dear family who clustered around him for instruction and support, gone from the paths of usefulness-gone from earth’s turmoil and anxieties-from his weary lot in this world’s many conflicts, and may we hope wears a crown of unfading beauty in heaven. May this divine dispensation so teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
