Bash, Virginia
Mrs. Jesse Leroy Bash, living in Sulfur Springs Hollow, while walking on the railroad track near Twenty one road crossing Wednesday evening was struck by a train and died at the home to Twible Campbell within a few hours afterwards from injuries sustained. It is said the engine was backing out of the hollow with six cars ahead of it and the women being very deaf failed to hear its approach. It is supposed that the six cars and engine passed over her. The train crew knew nothing about the accident until after arriving at Shawnee. A bread truck driver in passing the scene discovered her and took her to Dr. Miller’s office in Hemlock and it was thought at first that she had sustained only a broken arm, but later it was discovered that there was no hopes for her recovery and she was removed to Mr. Campbell’s home and passed away shortly afterwards. The deceased, whose former name was Mrs. Virginia Dunkle, was united in marriage to Mr. Jesse Leroy Bash by John C. Fleming, J.P. on August 25, 1934. Their household goods were packed and ready to have them moved to another house yesterday. In addition to her husband, she is survived by one son, and a sister Mrs. Spencer Johnson, who recently moved from the farm of the deceased to Shawnee.

Bates, Mary Jane
Another of Shawnee’s good old pioneers, answered the inevitable summons and passed on to life eternal, Sunday morning. Mrs. Mary Jane Bates, widow of the late Samuel Bates, following a prolonged illness, was called into eternal life Sunday morning at 7:30 o’clock. Death took place at her home on East Walnut Street and was due to ailments incident to her advanced years. The deceased was a daughter of John and Arrena Howell. She was born at Ashland Kentucky, on February 21, 1852 and died at Shawnee, Ohio on June 3, 1934, being at the time of her death age 82 years, 3 months, and 12 days. On April 1, 1868, in the city of her birth, she was united in marriage to Mr. Samuel Bates. To them three sons and three daughters were born and after more then three score years of happy married life, her devoted husband preceded her to the tomb on April 18, 1931. She is survived by her five children: Mrs. Lucy Stiff of Glouster, Ohio; Mrs. Fannie Bird of Shawnee; Mr. Edward Bates of Shawnee; Mr. Charles N. Bates of Columbus and Miss Ethel Bates of the home, eleven grandchildren, six great grandchildren and a wide circle of other relatives and friends. Mrs. Bates was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She fought a good fight, she ran her course, she kept the faith, she lived a good, exemplary Christian life, and by continuously practicing the Golden Rule, won the love and esteem of all with whom she came in contact. With her family she came to Shawnee more then half a century ago and by her passing has gone on to that mysterious bourne to join the many other good old pioneers who have preceded her. A loving and beloved mother who, through all her long journey of life gave generously of her talents and worldly goods to make better the world in which she lived, has finished her earthly labors, which according to Divine promise shall not go unrewarded. While as in a peaceful sleep, her spirit fled to that far a way land where sadness and sorrow are unknown. Her many admirable virtues are worthy of emulation and long will be cherished by those who knew her best and loved her most. Funeral services conducted by Rev. J. A. Weed were held in the M. E.

Bennett, Albert J.
In Memory Of Albert J. Bennett-Albert J. Bennett, born April 25, 1857, at Whippstown, Ohio. Died at Junction City, Ohio March 21, 1912, aged 54, 10 months and 26 days. Al Bennett is dead. As the sun was setting behind the western hills, death came to our friend, carrying him into a far country, whose boundaries, God alone can map. A. J. Bennett was not an ordinary, bit a common man. In the railroad world and in the business and social life of his community, he leaves a long line of loyal and loving friends. In this sad hour that now shadows his home, the sympathy of true hearts has been touched with sympathy for those who will miss him as a husband, father, and friend. He was a useful man. It is not best to lament the death of a man such as A. J. Bennett. Each day, for him, saw some work completed or some new work planned to start on it’s way. Every man that lives this life has faults or what appears to others to be faults. In life A. J. Bennett was frank to confess what he deemed wrong in his life and living so when death came he had no confession to make those who watched and hoped that he might live. For several years the deceased has not been a well man. But through his long suffering he bore it all patiently and with true Christian fortitude. He had been confined to his room since August 1st last. It was April 25th 1857, on his parent’s farm near Whippstown, Perry Count, that A. J. Bennett was born. When 13 years of age, he moved with his parents to Rehoboth. His early boyhood was spent on the farm and in the Winter months attended the country school. At an early age he took up railroading as an occupation. For years he was a fireman on the Lake Shore Roads, but later mastered telegraphy, which he followed for eighteen years at carious points. He was agent and operator at Bristol, Junction City, Quaker City, Zanesville and other cities, but he was compelled to retire from the service 12 years ago owing to failing health. He claimed his ride, Mar 20th, 1884, Miss Augusta Anderson, of Bristol, and to this happy union three children were born, all of whom survive. They are William, Frances, and Marie, all of the home. Besides the widow and children, four brothers and four sisters are mourning his death, viz; John, George and Richard of Columbus; James of Wilbren. Mrs. Nicholas Hammond and Miss Elizabeth Bennett, Columbus; Mrs. Charles Longstreth of Rehoboth and Mrs. James Weiner, Santoy. The funeral services were held from St. Patrick’s Church, Junction City, on March 25th, a requiem high mass being celebrated for the repose of his soul, but his pastor, Rev. William O’Sullivan, the same who officiated at his marriage nearly 28 years since. In stress and storm A. J. Bennett was as rock to oak. To every friend he stood four square and in times of peace he was as sun to flower. Our life is such that we do not know whether it is best for us to meet the sleep of death before our lips have learned to form a word, or at the end of life’s uneven way. We do not know. It is not for us to pass judgment on the living or the dead, but it is meant that when the final summons comes, whether like a flash from skies that are bright and fair, or out of the uninvited shadows, that we are ready to journey to that land where let us hope will rise the Unending and Eternal Dawn.
