The Venerable B.F. BIGGS Crossed the Threshold Saturday Morning
That splended gentleman, Mr. B.F. BIGGS, the Front Street undertaker and hardware dealer, is no more-a fact that will strike keen sorrow and regret to countless hearts, who had learned to esteem and venerate Mr. BIGGS, no less for his rollicking, jovial, good nature than for his sturdy, old school citizenship.
A week ago today the word passed out that Mr. BIGGS had that morning suffered an attack of illness that had left him unconscious, spent and in a critical condition. The relentless enemy that had found foothold in his system, euremic poisoning, waged an onslught that was beyond the sufferer's endurance, the skill of physicians and the virtue of medicine. He sank rapidly until the final summons came at 10:20 Saturday morning.
Mr. BIGGS was a native of Cape May County, N.J., born on the 9th day of December, 1833. He came to Pomeroy at the age of 24, or in the year 1857.
His first effort at enterprise was as contractor and builder, which he followed for thirty-seven years, and many of the buildings now standing in Pomeroy were built by him. He later, many years ago, entered the business of undertaking, and, as a result of comprehensive ideas and intelligent enterprise, built up one of most conspicious business successes in the county, serving a 25 mile radius of country with funeral service of city like appointments. The reputation of the House of BIGGS is known in three counties. Of late years Mr. George RAPPOLD, a son-in-law has been identified with the business and it will go on without change under his management. Mrs. BIGGS is in very feeble health and it is feared that she will not be long in following her life-long companion to the other world, due to illness and the shock of the loss of her husband, to whom she has for many hears been a faithful and loyal helpmate.
Mrs. BIGGS' maiden name was Anna Eliza RICHARDSON, of Mason City. Three children were the issue of their union. One daughter, Clara, died 31 years ago, at the age of 21 years. William H. BIGGS, their only son, died May 11, 1913. Ella, now Mrs. George RAPPOLD, is the only remaining child, and it has been her priviege to minister to her aged parents in the closing days of their lives.
The funeral service was held at the home Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. C.W. BRADY. The great number of people who called at the home to pay their last respects is an indication of the high regard in which Mr. BIGGS was held. On account of the rain the burial was postponed so that the remains might be laid to rest with the sun shining and the birds singing, the sad rites being carried out yesterday morning.
Thus has passed the last survivor of that quartette of kindred spirits, who in their lighter vein provided many a mirthful moment for the Meigs County reading public.
Here drop a tear and a flower for their memory, and utter a fond farewell to those grand old types, W. J. PRALL, D.C. WHALEY, S.A.M. MOORE and B.F. BIGGS-gone but not forgotten-may they rest in peace. (Tribute-Telegraph Pomeroy, Ohio October 1, 1913 pg. 1 col. 4)
Widow of the Late B.F. BIGGS Passed Away Early Sunday Morning
Mrs. B.F. BIGGS passed to her eternal reward Sunday morning, Feb. 27, at her home, the B.F. BIGGS homestead, at 2:45 o'clock. Death was due to old age and a complication of diseases. Her age was supposed to be about 80 years. Owing to her aversion to giving her exact age her family is unable to name the date of her birth.
Mrs. BIGGS is survived by only one child, Mrs. Ella, wife of Undertaker George RAPPOLD. Two other children, Clara and William are deceased.
She also leaves one maiden sister, Mary RICHARDSON, who resides at Mason, W.Va., where Mrs. BIGGS was born and one brother Henry RICHARDSON whose residence is unknown. Mrs. Biggs was a kind motherly woman, domestic in her habits. Her generous and kindly nature endeared her to everyone who enjoyed her acquaintance. Even when young and active she rarely went from her home.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. ROTHROCK of the Simpson M.E. church at the residence at two o'clock Tuesday and interment in Beech Grove cemetery by the B.F. Biggs Company. (Pomeroy Democrat March 2, 1916 pg. 1 col. 3)
William Biggs
William BIGGS Succumbed to Stroke of Apoplexy Sunday Morning
Early sunday morning William BIGGS of Laurel Street, complained about feeling very badly and requested his wife to summon a physician. She went to a neighbor's telephone to do so. When she returned her husband had passed away, death being due to a stroke of apoplexy.
On Saturday Mr. BIGGS was about his usual duties at the Biggs Hardware store and apparently in his usual spirits and health which made his taking away the more a shock. Deceased was 53 years of age, being the only son of Undertaker B.F. BIGGS and wife, who, with a sister, Mrs. George RAPPOLD and his wife survive. A sister passed away at the age of 21.
Mrs. BIGGS was Miss Mayme POWELL, whom he married Sept. 3, 1894. Deceased was an active member of the local order of the Knights of Pythias under whose auspices the funeral was held yesterday afternoon, at Simpson M.E. Church, Rev. BRADY offering the funeral address. The remains were laid to rest in Beech Grove Cemetery. (Pomeroy Ohio Tribune May 14, 1913 pg. 1 col. 6)
Mr. Blanton Was Standing in the Street Waiting for a Street Car to Pass When He Was Struck.
Napoleon H. Blanton, 84 years old, father-in-law of L. A. Heckard, manager of the Metz Lumber Company, was struck by a speeding automobile northbound in front of the Dunn Mercantile Company, 724 North Main Street yesterday afternoon. He died two hours later at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. A. Heckard, 832 North Waco Avenue, from concussion of the brain.
Chauncy Vawter, driver of the automobile, who resides at 138 North Market Street, is under arrest.
J. W. Bills, a pool hall proprietor, residing at 426 West Third Street, who was with Vawter in the automobile, is held by the police.
The accident occurred about ? o'clock.
Waiting for a Car to Pass.
Mr. Blanton had left the Dunn Mercantile store and was crossing the street. According to W. E. Ladd, of the Crescent Food Company, he was standing near the east street car tracks waiting for a southbound Main Street car to pass. It had stopped at Murdock Avenue to discharge passengers.
Car Was Going Fast.
"The automobile was coming at about forty-five miles an hour on the street car tracks," Mr. Ladd said to The Beacon today. "It looked looked to me as if the west wheels of the automobile were running in the center of the east tracks when the automobile reached the man. It swerved to the right then to get off of the street car tracks. The rear, right fender of the automobile, I think, struck the aged man, and I saw him thrown in the air, back and over the rear end of the automobile. A young man could not have got out of the way."
"The automobile was coming so fast the man could not have escaped, I did not hear a horn. R. C. Hildebrand and I ran out street to pick up the injured man. As we lifted him I looked north and saw the car nearly a block away and going at high speed. I did not see the men in the car look back.
What Mr. Hildebrand Says.
Mr. Hildebrand who is the proprietor of the Star Mill on North Main Street, substantiated Mr. Ladd's statement. He said: "The automobile was going at least 40 miles an hour and it looked to me as if the rear end of the car struck him as the car swerved."
Amos Grable, motorman on the street car, said: "My car was at Murdock Avenue and Mr. Blanton was in the street near the tracks opposite the Dunn Mercantile Company's store. Contrary to the statements of the morning paper, the automobile did not strike the man when the street car was beside him. When the automobile passed us at a high rate of speed I saw the body of the injured man laying on the tracks in front us us several yards."
Vawter Talks of Accident
Chauncey Vawter said this morning: "I was driving about twenty miles an hour when we hit Captain Blanton. Any person familiar with automobiles knows that a Ford is not capable of sixty miles an hour, as I was reported to have been going. Near Murdock Avenue I saw the old gentleman start across the street. He looked up and I thought he saw us coming. He stepped back as we were about even with him. Then he jumped forward and collided with the rear fender of my car. The fender was broken off."
Drove on to the Country.
"I was frightened by the accident and did not stop. I drove about six miles into the country and then came back to Wichita and gave myself up. I certainly am sorry, but I don't believe it was all my fault. No, I did not have a quart bottle of whisky in the seat with me as someone reported. I had no bottle with me at all, but had taken several drinks just before starting on the drive."
Jumped Out of the Car.
J. W. Bills, owner of a barber shop and pool hall at 224 North Main Street, made the following statement. He was riding in the car that killed Mr. Blanton: "Vawter came into my place in the afternoon and asked me to take a ride with him. I told him I couldn't be away more than ten minutes. I don't know how fast we were going when we hit Captain Blanton. After the accident I tried to get Vawter to stop, but he seemed scared and refused. Five blocks past the accident I jumped out while the car was going about ten miles an hour."
No liquor in the Car.
"So far as I know Vawter had no whisky with him. He had been drinking but did not appear drunk when he came to my place and invited me to ride with him. I couldn't say whether the whisky he had taken before had any effect on his driving."
Mr. Bills confirmed Vawter's version of the accident, declaring that Captain Blanton jumped against the rear fender of the machine after the riders thought they had safely passed him.
Arrested at 8:30 o'clock.
The injured man was taken to the Dunn store where physicians and L. A. Heckard were summoned. He was later hurried by Gill's ambulance to the Heckard residence where he did not regain consciousness.
Chief of Police Kensler started men immediately on the trail of the automobile, which drove north toward Valley Center at a high rate. ills left the automobile near he scene of the accident. He was arrested at 8:30 o'clock.
Vawter drove toward Valley Center until engine trouble compelled him to stop. According to Automobile Officer C. N. Tucker, he went to a farm house and telephoned to the woman in charge of the K. C. rooming house he owns at 138 North Market Street.
Mr. Burringer Saw Vawter.
"I've run over a man and I'm going to keep going." Office Tucker says Vawter told the woman. W. A. Burringer, a farmer residing five miles northwest of the city was on his way home from Wichita when Vawter drove up behind him. Mr. Burringer says Vawter called to him: "Want a drink of whiskey?"
Mr. Burringer declined and Vawter drove by him. He says Vawter appeared greatly excited and was unable to drive his car straight. Vawter then was having engine trouble. He turned back to Wichita before he reached Valley Center.
Came Back to the City.
While the police car, carrying four men, was on the trail of the fleeing motor car, Officer C. N. Tucker was preparing a net for Vawter at Wichita. The Vawter car had left Wichita at such a speed that only one man was able to see the number. He saw only that it began with 14[?]. Another man saw that the car was a Ford runabout. Another thought the driver was named Chance. Officer Tucker found that the owner of a Ford runabout, numbered 1460, was registered by Chauncy Vawter. He learned from Vawter's rooming house that Vawter was out in the car.
Advised Him to Surrender.
Tucker placed men to watch the rooming house. He found Vawter's brother and instructed him to warn Chauncey Vawter to give himself up; that an attempt to escape would be useless. When Vawter called at his rooming house his brother gave him this warning.
Vawter on his return to the city, dodged the police car by changing roads and he went to a garage on North Market street. Here he hid under a tarpaulin for an hour before he decided to give himself up. Then he summoned a cab, emptied his pockets of money and papers and went to the police station. The police say he had been drinking.
Getting a Jury and Witnesses.
The Vawter automobile was located in the garage on North Market Street. Its right rear fender is bent, presumably where it struck Mr. Blanton.
The inquest will be held at the courthouse tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Coroner M.M. McCollister today was issuing subpoenas.
Veteran of the Civil War
Captain N. B. Blanton came to Wichita three years ago from Sulphur Spring, Ok, to reside with his daughter, Mrs. L. A. Heckard. He was a member of the G.A.R., serving in the Tenth Kansas regiment during the Civil War. Captain Blanton was on post duty in Washington when Abraham Lincoln was shot. Mrs. Blanton, the deceased wife of the Captain, was at the opera when Lincoln was assassinated. Both were personal friends of the martyred President.
Six children survive Captain Blanton. They are Mrs. F. B. Streeter, wife of ex-Congressman Flynn, of Oklahoma; Mrs. Martin Savage, Blanco, Ok.; John Blanton, Hazelton, Kan.; Frank Blanton, Blanco Ok.; and Mrs. L. A. Heckard.
The funeral will be held from the Heckard residence, 829 North Waco Avenue, at 4 o'clock Thursday. Dr. W. S. Priest, of the Central Church of Christ, will officiate. Burial in Maple Grove Cemetery.

Capt. Blanton later was taken to the Heckard home, about two blocks away.
Pronounced Injuries Fatal
Dr. Oldham dressed the wounds of Captain Blanton, and reported that he would die in a few hours of concussion of the brain. Captain Blanton was very feeble before he was struck and the physician said he could not have survived the shock even if his wounds had been slight.

When Abraham Lincoln was shot, Captain Blanton was on duty at the regimental post in Washington. He was a personal friend and associate of the martyred president.

Egger, on Wednesday at 3 p.m., and were followed by interment in the Woodsfield Cemetery. Mrs. Dieter was the mother of Sheriff Sulsberger and Andrew Dieter.

George W. Fair, One of Oldest Citizens, Died at Home Yesterday
Deceased was well and favorably known
George W. Fair, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of the city, died at his home, No. 507 West Wayne street at 11:15 o'clock Thursday morning, after an illness of about a month, due to the infirmities of age. Up until about a month ago Mr. Fair was about the city a great deal, being until that time a remarkably active man, considering his age.
Mr. Fair was born in Jefferson township March 1, 1830, and was therefore in his 84th year. Early in life he came to Butler, where he engaged in the brick making business his plant being located in what is now the Fourth ward, in the neighborhood of North McKean and East May streets. During the oil excitement at Millerstown and Greece City, in the early 70;s, when there was but one railroad, the West Penn, entering Butler, he erected a hotel at the corner of Monroe and East Jefferson streets, on the present site of the New Monroe hotel, naming it Fair Exchange, which was considered one of the best hostelries in Butler at that time. The hotel was the stopping place of most of the persons coming here to visit the oil fields, and was regarded as the headquarters for oil men in this section. When the oil excitement began to wane, Mr. Fair disposed of the hotel and removed to Iowa, but returned to Butler after a few years and began a career in various capacities in the oil country, following the Western Pennsylvania territory from McKean county to the southern extremity of the state. He was perhaps one of the best known men in the oil regions. Being a man of genial and companionable disposition, he made friends rapidly, and his sterling honesty and reliability in business deals enabled him to retain the friendship of those with whom he came in contact to a remarkable degree.
He was the inventor of the Fair elevator for tubing and casing, a device now considered indispensable at oil and gas wells, and just recently secured a patent on an improvement to the elevator, which is pronounced by oil men to be of equal value with the original invention.
On August 1, 1864, he enlisted with Company G, sixth Pennsylvania artillery, and served with this command until the close of the Civil war, being mustered out in 1865. He was a member of A. G. Reed Post, No. 165, G.A.R. of Butler.
On December 19, 1850, Mr. Fair was married to Elizabeth Emerick, who, with six sons and two daughters, survives him. The surviving children are A.J. of Butler, Lewis C., of McDonald, George W. of Charleston, W.Va., Harry G. of Okmulgee, Okla, W F. of Troy, W.Va., Charles A. of Clarksburg, W.VaMrs. A. L. Young of Lima, W. Va., and Mrs. E. J. Thompson of Clarksburg, W.Va.
Funeral services will be held at the family residence at 507 West Wayne street at 12 o'clock Saturday and the interment will be in Jefferson Summit cemetery in Jefferson township.
Mrs. Dennis T. Flynn, Pioneer of Oklahoma, Passes Away in East
City Woman Was First Child Born in Humboldt, Kas.,
To be Buried Here.
Another of Oklahoma's rapidly disappearing pioneer women joined the ranks of those gallant settlers who have conquered the "last frontier" when Mrs. Dennis T. Flynn, 70 years old, died Wednesday night in Boston, Mass.
Death came to Mrs. Flynn after a long illness during which she declined slowly until the end. Mrs. Flynn went to Boston in November, 1928, where she entered the Christian Science Benevolent Home.
Death came to 7:30 0'clock Wednesday night, according to a message from relatives.
Besides her husband, she is survived by a daughter, Mrs. J. J. Richardson of Washington, D.C.; two sons, Streeter B. Flynn of Oklahoma City and Olney F. Flynn of Tulsa; three sisters, Mrs. Fannie Streeter of Ponca City, Mrs. Lester A.

Funeral arrangements are being held in abeyance pending the arrival of the body here.
Mrs. Flynn's entire life was spend helping to bring new and virile countries under the yoke of civilization. She was the firs white child born in Humboldt, Kan., when that state was still a rugged, unbridled wilderness. There she grew into young womanhood, met Dennis T. Flynn, a young attorney to whom she married in 1884 at Kiowa, Kansas.
When Oklahoma territory was opened Aril 22, 1889, it was a signal to the young married couple to move into a still newer territory. Mr. Flynn arrived in Guthrie on the first train ever to run into that city and was immediately appointed postmaster. Less than two months later Mrs. Flynn joined her husband in the new country.
When she came to Oklahoma Mrs. Flynn had only one small child, Dorothy, now Mrs. Richardson. While still in Guthrie her husband was elected to congress and distinguished himself as one of the most able statesman ever to come out of such a new country.
When Mr. Flynn retired from public life and left congress, the family moved to Oklahoma City. That was in 1902. From that time on Mrs. Flynn was prominently identified with the leading society circles of the city and was actively engaged in various club activities which sought to improve the civic and cultural qualities of a new country.
In later years she spent much of her time traveling with her husband and family but maintained an active interest in the affairs of the city. She was a member of the '89er association and attended the First Church at Christ, Scientist, here. The Oklahoman, April 18, 1929 p.2

Tribune's Frank Kettlewell, "Ket" of the Cartoons, Dies
Frank Kettlewell, chief of The Tribune's art department who was known to generations of readers simply as "Ket", died unexpectedly last night. He was 79.
The genial, silver-haired artist, in nearly perfect health all his life, was stricken Monday with an appendicitis attack. He underwent surgery that night and was reported to be recovering rapidly when he suffered a heart attack.
For many years he was one of the Bay Area's leading editorial cartoonists and later became noted for maps that he drew to illustrate news stories and travel articles. His editorial cartoons, which appeared in the 1930's, always contained a little bird in the corner as a signature.
A series of road maps he drew in the early days of the automobile, to illustrate road tours throughout the state, was later issued in book form by The Tribune. A few years ago "Ket" drew a map showing how San Fransisco Bay is shrinking, and it was quickly adopted as a symbol by the Save the Bay Association and is now flown as a pennant by boats taking part in the annual opening of the Bay yachting season.
"Ket" was born in St. Helena; the son of pioneer parents who named him Benjamin Franklin Kettlewell. He graduated from St. Helena High School and as a youth arrived in San Francisco with a shipment of relief supplies after the 1906 earthquake and fire.
Later he lived in that city with his grandfather while attending the old Hopkins Art School on the site of what is now the Mark Hopkins Hotel. He came to work for The Tribune in 1912 and soon became head of the art room, no one is any longer sure exactly when, but the best estimates place it around 1917.
"Ket" combined one of his many hobbies- photography with his art work, taking pictures to illustrate those early auto tours and later (illegible newspaper) with columnist Jack Burroughs on a popular feature called "Your Town." He often put in long hours in The Tribune's photography darkroom, developing and printing pictures he and others had taken.
An amateur astronomer of note, "Ket" designed and built several of his own telescopes. He was believed to be a founding member of the East Bay Astronomical Society and for more than 25 years was one of its directors.
In 1948 "Ket's" drawing of Sutter's Mill was accepted by the U.S. Post Office Department as the design for a stamp commemorating the discovery of gold in California.
He was a inveterate tinkerer. Often he designed his own tools and one of his last projects was building a gem polisher for a friend. His other hobbies included metalworking, woodworking and stamp collecting.
"Ket" was a man who couldn't say no, an associate recalls, "Any time someone asked him to do something he'd try it."
He served for many years on the selection committee for the Joseph R. Knowland awards, which annually honor Tribune employees for outstanding achievement. His other affiliations included Orinda Masonic Lodge 521, the Oakland Scottish Rite Bodies and the Aahmes Temple of the shrine.
He leaves his widow, Beatrice (Dixie) at the family home, 325 El Cerrito Ave., Piedmont, and a niece Mrs. Mary Ann Sliger of St. Helena.
Masonic funeral services will be conducted Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at Truman's Mortuary, Telegraph Avenue and 30th Street, Oakland.
Life Work at an End
B. F. Kettlewell Joins Silent Majority
Was a Prominent Citizen
Had Resided in St. Helena Many Years and was Held in High Esteem
B. F. Kettlewell, one of St. Helena's most prominent and highly respected citizens passed away Monday evening at Dr. Burke's Sanitarium in Sonoma county, the end coming at 6:40 o'clock.
Mr. Kettlewell had been ill for over a year, and for several months his condition had been so serious that he was compelled to spend most of his time at Dr. Burke's sanitarium. He would get better and come home, only to grow worse again and return to be under the Doctor's care. About four weeks ago he had such a serious sinking spell that his wife took him to Dr. Burke's but he did not rally. Sunday afternoon a message called the other relatives to Mr. Kettlewell's beside, and, after lingering until Monday evening he sank to rest with the setting sun.
Benjamin Franklin Kettlewell was born in Iowa, May 8, 1857, and was the fourth son of the late Joseph R. and Eliza Kettlewell. When a lad of 8 years he accompanied his parents West, settling first in Austin, Nevada. A year later the family located in San Francisco, and on July 1, 1872, came to St. Helena. Here the subject of this sketch entered the public school and upon completing the course of study attended an academy conducted by L. L. Rogers at Calistoga. Later he went to Heald's Business College in San Francisco, graduating therefrom in 1877. Always industrious, he worked during his younger days by the side of his father at the forge, and when the elder Kettlewell retired from blacksmithing and opened a large hardware store, Frank was through school and engage actively in business with his father.
Deceased always took an active and prominent part in public affairs and in politics. He served the people faithfully and with credit to himself as Town Clerk, Town Trustee and as Clerk and Trustee of the Public Library. From 1895 to 1899 he served as postmaster, to which position he was appointed by President Cleveland. When he turned the post office over to the present postmaster on March 1, 1899, the affairs were found to be in splendid shape and in accord with the administration he had given. He then devoted his attention to real estate and insurance, building up a large business which occupied his undivided attention until illness caused him to give up his active life.
Deceased had been a member of St. Helena Lodge No. 93, F. and A. M., for over thirty years and was a Past Master. He was also a member of St. Helena Chapter NO. 63, R. A. M. and Napa Commandery No. 34 K. T. He was a charter member of Olive Camp No. 135, W. of W., and for many years, and until overtaken by ill health, was Clerk of the Camp. Mr. Kettlewell was also a charter-member and active worker in the Order of Eastern Star in St. Helena.
Deceased was married in Santa Ana, May 8, 1884, to Miss Libbie Vanderlip, and is survived by his widow and two sons- Charles Edgar and Benjamin Franklin; also two brothers, Joseph A., and James O. Kettlewell, all of whom have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the Masonic Hall under the auspices of St. Helena Lodge No. 93, F. and A. M. The impressive ritualist service was read by L. G. Clark, Master, and Rev. James Mitchell, Chaplain. Rev Mitchell also pronounced eulogy upon the life and character of deceased, dwelling upon his many excellent qualities and his devotion to his family and to his duty as a citizen. Rev. U. E Partridge, pastor of the Methodist Church, offered a fervent prayer. A choir composed of Mrs. E. G. Schuneman, Mrs. Walter Metzner, G. B. Anderson and W. T. Dillon, sang several appropriate hymns and Miss Wardlow presided at the piano. The floral offerings from the Masonic Lodge, the Easter Star, the Woodmen of the World, and many friends were very beautiful.
At the conclusion of the services many people followed the remains to their last resting place. Sixteen members of Napa Commandery, nights Templar, in full uniform, members of St. Helena Lodge F. and A. M. and of St. Helena Chapter, O. E. S., acted as an escort to the cemetery, where the last sad rites took place.
The pall bearers were the following: D. A. Dunlap and H. M. Meacham, representing Napa Commandery, K. T.; J. H. Steves and A. N. Bell, St. Helena Lodge, F. and A. M.; Leo, H. Martin and George Herdle, Olive Camp W. O. W.
There were many expressions of sorrow at the passing away of B. F. Kettlewell. He had resided here nearly thirty-eight years and was a good man. He was always wide awake and enterprising, full of zeal, loyal to his friends and deeply devoted to his wife and the two sons who have grown to manhood, an honor to their parents and in the full enjoyment of the public esteem in which deceased had such an abundant share.

One of Napa County's Best Known and Respected Citizens Goes to His Reward
Death has removed from our midst another of those pioneers who came to California in the early '50's and helped build this great commonwealth. Joseph R. Kettlewell, a well-known and prominent citizen of St. Helena, passed from this life at the home of his son, B. F. Kettlewell, on Main street, Friday night, July 31st, at 9:50 o'clock. The cause of death was old age, the splendid constitution with which Mr. Kettlewell had been endowed finally giving way, after a period f failing health that had afflicted him since the demise f his life-partner on June 17th of last year.
Joseph Richard Kettlewell was born in Washington County, Pa., May 13, 1825, and had therefore reached the ripe old age of 83 years, 2 months and 18 days. In 1828, when the subject of this sketch was three years old, the family moved to St. Clairsville, Ohio, where the father plied his trade of carpenter. Later, the family moved to Wheeling, W. Va., where, in 1837, Mr. Kettlewell's father died, being survived by a wife and large family of children.
Joseph Kettlewell early faced the problem of self-support and learned the blacksmith trade, moving to Cincinnati, where he was employed in the engine spring department of the Harkness Locomotive Works for ten years. It was here that Mr. Kettlewell had the honor of making the springs for the first locomotive to be sent to Panama and which was the first to cross the Isthmus.
On April 15, 1847, Mr. Kettlewell was married to Miss Eliza Paul. From Cincinnati Mr. Kettlewell, accompanied by his family, went to Iowa City, Iowa, and there established a blacksmith and wagon shop. In 1853, deciding that the West offered greater opportunities, Mr. Kettlewell and his wife and children started on the long overland journey. The first permanent stop was made at Austin, Nev., where a year was spent, and then the journey was continued to San Francisco. Mr. Kettlewell established himself in business and remained in the metropolis until 1872, when, owing to his wife's poor health, he came to St. Helena.
On July 1, 1872, Mr. Kettlewell started a blacksmithing business in a frame building corner of Main and Adams streets, and there continued until 1889, when he sold his blacksmithing interest, retaining the hardware line which he had added two years before. Mr. Kettlewell erected a fine two-story brick building, on the corner of Main and Adam streets, and two years later retired from business. Mr Kettlewell always took an active interest in politics and served the people as a delegate to many Democratic conventions. The only offices he ever held, however, were those of School Trustee. He was always a public spirited citizen and was a devoted husband and father. The children who survive both father and mother are Joseph Alexander, James Oscar and Benjamin Franklin.
Deceased joined the Odd Fellows in 1847, but for years had not affiliated with the local lodge. He had also been a member of the Methodist church since the age of 18 years.
The funeral took place Sunday afternoon in 1:30 o'clock from the home of B. F. Kettlewell, where deceased had made his home of the last fourteen months of his long life, Rev. W. H. Johnstone conducted the services, assisted by Rev.. James Mitchell. Five of the pallbearers were grandsons, they being Charles, Frank, Oscar, Earl and Richard Kettlewell. Dr. Vanderlip also acted as pallbearer. The remains were followed to their last resting place in St. Helena cemetery by a large number of sorrowing friends, who silently plaid their last tribute of respect to one who for thirty-five years was one of St. Helena's most respected citizens.

Last rites were held yesterday afternoon from the James Crowe Company for Joseph A. Kettlewell, 89-year-old retired Redwood City resident, who died Saturday night at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Bruce K. Frost, 58 Turnsworth street.
Cremation followed at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park.

This article was sent to me by Richards Frost, dated May 24, 1936--no newspaper source cited.
Joseph A. Kettlewell, the dean of all the shoe salesmen, passed out of this life on May 24. He was laid to rest in Cypress Lawn Cemetery in San Mateo County. Joe, as he was known to hundreds of loved friends in the shoe trade from the Atlantic to the Pacific, came to California in the early sixties with his parents in a covered wagon with the pioneers, and while still in his 'teens got a job as a shoe salesman in San Francisco.
His stories of the exciting events that happened in those early days in the shoe business in California were an interesting and true history of the progress of the development, from the stores equipped with wooden shoe cases for shelving and hooks in the ceiling on which to hang the boots, to the elaborate interior and exterior furnishings and fixtures of the present day. Tales of his experiences, related in the Coast Shoe Reported a few years ago under the caption "Memory Lane," were of great interest and eagerly read by everyone. Joe had the gift to tell a good story.
The stores in which he worked during his long experience will recall to some of the older salesmen the names of the high-class merchants of those days, now almost forgotten. Ben Lucke, Kasta, Koenigs, P. F. Nolan, J. B. Russell, George E. Fairchild, selling the best in both domestic and imported footwear and making boots and shoes to measure.
Joe's eyesight started to fail two years ago. Due to his age an operation was not advisable and the result was total blindness. He never lost his friendly smile for the boys. His many friends will not soon forget his manly character and his efforts to better conditions for the retail trade, both for the employer and the employee.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his daughter, Mrs. J. Frost and family in Redwood city, and to his son, Earl Kettlewell and his family, in their bereavement.

Waynesburg Republican, Waynesburg, Greene County, Pa., February 12, 1903
-------------------------
A telegram was received here this morning announcing the death of Dr. John P Nesbitt, which occurred last night at his home at Waynesburg, Pa. The deceased came to this city some fourteen years ago from Virginia, and began the practice of dentistry. He soon had a lucrative practice, and with his winning ways and jovial disposition was soon a favorite with all. Later he married Miss Rena Meyers, to whom a son and daughter were born. Convivial habits led tot he Doctor's downfall, estrangement from his family, and his return to his old home where death ended his sufferings after a long illness. He was a genial, whole-souled man, counted his friends by the score, a staunch democrat, and in 1898 was the democratic nominee for mayor. Dr. Nesbitt had many virtues-he was kind, charitable in the extreme, a genial companion and when once a friend always a friend. As to his frailties let them be forgotten

Oliver D. Richards
Romantic Career of Richards is Ended by Death
Word was received yesterday by Dr. W. D. Richards, of Dayton, Ky., of the death of his son Oliver, 36, in Cuba. A cablegram stated that he had been run over and killed by a train near his father's plantation on the island.
Young Richards is well remembered in Dayton, where he had a host of friends. A number of years ago he left to try his fortunes in the West and had had a romantic career. He had been cowboy and prospector, the wild life of the West appealing to him. He made occasional visits to his old home to see his parents, but never remained long at a time, referring the wild life of the West.
For the past two years Richards had been in Cuba looking after interests of his father which were recently acquired. He had charge of a big plantation of his father's, Dr. Richards had planned a visit to his son in Cuba the latter part of this month.
The law in Cuba requires that a body shall be interred 24 hours after death, and it will be impossible for Dr. Richards to reach Cuba in time for the funeral.
Richards' tragic death fulfills a prophecy often made by his friends that he would "die" with his boots on." He was of reckless and daring disposition and had seen many perils in his experiences in the West.

About eight o'clock last evening, Reuben RICHARDSON, night watchman at the Wheeling hinge works, dropped dead at his post of duty.
This old gentleman, aged sixty-five years, had been employed by the Wheeling Hinge Company for twenty years.

He would have scorned to commit even the smallest act of unfairness in a business or legal transaction, and it is said that his decisions as a justice were always sustained by the higher courts.

Not having been well recently, she had been following medical advice to rest occasionally during the daytime and had gone to sleep before noon.

Inheriting her mother's talent and aptitude for music, she was an accomplished musician, and a member of various orchestras, bands and choruses during all of her school days. She was cellist in the high school orchestra. Madeleine was a girl of winning personality, and always a favorite with her many friends, young and grown-up, all of whom will be greatly shocked by the tragic news.
At last word, her mother, who had accompanied the high school soloists and ensembles to Elkhart, Ind, yesterday, to act as their accompanist, had not yet been reached by long distance telephone.
Madeleine is survived by her father and mother and an elder sister, Miss Katherine Wheat, who recently graduated from Moser college in Chicago.

Calvin Andrew Wiley
Calvin Andrew Wiley, for twelve years house father at the St. Charles School for Boys, passed away last Sunday evening, after an illness of a few hours, having been stricken with apoplexy.
Mr. Wiley was born in West Virginia 64 years ago June 19th. He came from that state to Chicago where he was married, thirty years ago. The couple went to New York City where Mr. Wiley entered into important business relations, severing these relations 12 years ago and returning to Chicago. He entered the work here at the St. Charles School and through the changes of administration and stress of all responsibilities imposed, he had acquitted himself well and conscientiously performed alloted duties in such a manner as to receive high commendation.
Besides his arduous duties as housefather, Mr. Wiley has had charge of the farm tool room. He was so methodical in his charge that he knew the exact nook each piece should occupy, when it was taken out, and when, if ever, it had been returned.
The boys in his cottage were his children. He and Mrs. Wiley lost their two children, and the love that would have been theirs had they lived was meted out in full measure to the boys under his charge. There was written on each young face, as they attended the funeral, the sorrow they felt at the loss of their best friend.
Mr. Wiley was admitted, passed and raised to the degree of master Mason in Minerva lodge, Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1894, and still held membership there. He attended the local lodge, and their beautiful ritual was observed at the funeral Tuesday morning, following a service held by Rev. F. C. Neitz.
The Masonic and O.E.S. lodges attended in a body. Mrs. E. F. Works and Mrs. Geo. Irwin sang appropriate music and the entire service was beautiful. The floral offerings were surpassingly beautiful.
Coming a few hours after the services, were two sisters of Mr. Wiley, Mrs. Kate Wiley of Wheeling, W.Va., and Miss Adda Wiley of New York City. Other relatives and friends attending the funeral were Mrs. S. M. Decker, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Thorp, and two sons, all of Chicago, and Mrs. J. J. Wheat of Indianapolis.
The burial was at Forest Home cemetery, Chicago.
The widow, Mrs. Etta Wiley, who has been the faithful and loved companion, will probably reside with her niece in Evanston. This home is open to the well loved aunt, and she will find a welcome to its fireside and into the hearts of the members of the household. The place that the "Wileys" held in the esteem of all will not be filled.

Miss Katharine Wiley
An Appreciation
The strife is o'er, the battle won,
The song of triumph has begun--
Alleluia
Praise and thanksgiving for the good example and unselfish life of a departed friend are in our hearts today. In the death of Miss Katharine WILEY, as in that of her sister Miss Julia years ago, the city of Wheeling sustains a great loss. It is not often that two members of the same family are able to render such continuous service to the community as educators and humanitarians-From one sister, hundreds of our youth in our public schools received with secular training the foundation principles of that integrity of character that makes the upright citizen of today.
Not less beautiful and helpful has been the life of Miss Katharine WILEY who is laid at rest this morning. For twenty-one years she gave faithful and unremitting care to the aged women who sought the friendly shelter of the Home on Thirteenth Street. To each she extended sisterly sympathy and the benediction of her presence was a balm to the weary and lonely. Her wholesome personality, cheerful countenance and wise counsel brightened and lightened the labors of all who were associated with her in the management of the Home. Her long years of service mark the appreciation of the Board of Directors in one of the most worthy institutions of the city.
In earlier years Miss WILEY had charge of a home for boys, and so great was her influence and so effective her training that she was remembered with gratitude by boys grown to manhood, who in passing through the city often called to express their appreciation of her teaching and kindliness.
Of her religious life, her pastors and others bear testimony to her devotion to her church, the Fourth Street Methodist Episcopal, to the regularity of her attendance upon its services and her conscientious discharge of her duty and obligation.
Now the laborer's task in o'er
Now the battle day is past,
Now upon the farther shore,
Lands the voyager at last.
There the tears of earth are dried
There its hidden things are clear
There the works of life is tried
By a juster judge than here.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping,
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
