OBITUARY
Oden, William
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, April 6, 1880
Died—March the 26th, A. D. 1880, William Oden, an aged farmer, resident of Wayne township.
The deceased was born in the state of Maryland about the year 1805. His parents died while he was yet a boy leaving him to seek a home among strangers. He went to Loudon County, Va., where for many years, he was engaged as teamster.
In 1833, he came to Harrison county, O., where in 1835 he was married to Kitty Ann Ellis, who now survives him. In 1839, he bought a small farm, on Crooked Creek, Tuscarawas county, and removed thence with his family. Finally he came to Wayne township, this county where he resided the last 32 years of his life.
He was for 44 years, a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and his whole life was quiet and honest doing and dealing only as a Christian should. He died with full assurance of eternal happiness saying; “My career is ended and it’s all right with the Master.”
Ten children, five boys and five girls, are left to mourn, all of whom reside in Monroe county, except the youngest who resides in Claysville, Washington county, Pa.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Wilson, of Stafford. “For we know that if our earthy house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” March 30, 1880
