Death Notice | October 17, 1873, Cleveland Plain Dealer, p. 2 FROM MAYFIELD MAYFIELD, Oct. 10, 1873 EDS. PLAIN DEALER: We are called upon to announce the death of one of the oldest citizens of the town, Mr. Samuel Southwick, who died at his residence at Wilson’s Mills in Mayfield, on Sunday, October 5th. Mr. Southwick was born at Adams, Mass., on the 3rd of December 1792, and was consequently nearly eighty-one years of age at the time of his death. He came to Cuyahoga county in the year 1834 and was among the first settlers of the town. Nowithstanding the hardships and privations with which the early settlers had to undergo, Mr. Southwick through perseverance and economy, succeeded in making a comfortable property, and had the satisfaction of seeing his children--three sons and one daughter--comfortably settled in life, two of the sons having died some years ago, leaving a son and daughter to comfort him in his declining years. He was living with his second wife at the time of his death, his first wife having departed this life seventeen years and on day before him. He was a man that was noted for integrity, brightness and fair dealding, a man of enterprise and public spirit he was a man with many friedns and he had but few enemies. He will be much missed in the community where he lived. He was a firm believer in the Christian religion, he being many years a member of the United Brethren church. He died in the ???, “Though the earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, he had a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” He leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his death. His funeral was largely attended on Tuesdday, the 7th, inst. at the United Brethren church, at Wilson’s Mills. The services were conducted by the Rev. J. B. Goodrich, pastor of the M. E. Church, who preached a very able discourse from the last clause of the twelfth verse of the fourth chapter of Amos. | |
