It becomes our sad duty to chronicle the death of another one of the old citizens of Florida, Henry county, Ohio, in the person of Joseph Stout, son of John and Mary Stout. He was born in Richland county, Ohio, May 14th, 1825, and moved to Henry county in the spring of 1853. The deceased was married to Martha E. Barnhart December 28th, 1847, who died December 25, 1852, leaving two sons, Benjamin and Joseph E. Mr. Stout was again married to Nancy King in the year 1855; by this marriage there were born to them four sons, two of whom died in infancy, and two are still living, Jackson E. and Tester B. The deceased died at Toledo, Ohio, January 17th, 1889, of paralysis, aged 63 years, 8 months and 3 days, leaving a widow and four sons to mourn the loss of a husband and father. The writer of this notice cannot refrain from saying a few words as to the life and character of the deceased. Mr. Stout was my neighbor, my good kind friend, and as a neighbor he was kind and obliging; if one was in need and he had it to give or lend, he or she was sure to get it, and he would always say take, use it, and when done with it, put it back where you got it, and all would be right. At an early day in this country he was one among the businessmen, and was possessed of a good deal of property and done a great deal in building up the village of Florida; in business he had been successful for many years, and was surrounded by many friends. Religiously, he was not a member of any church or a professor of religion, but would often go to the U. B. Church at Florida and pay strict attention to tbe preaching of God?s word, and often heard him say, "That was a good sermon." His funeral took place at the U. B. Church at Florida, where a large congregation had gathered to pay the last reapect to an old citizen and friend, the Rev. Warfield officiating, preaching from the words, ?'Do good to all men," after which the remains were carried to the cemetery at Florida and buried out of sight, and as we turned away from the new made grave, the thought came to us, "Shall we meet him no more on earth?? But we are cheered as we turn from his grave with the blessed thought that he that believeth in Jesus, though he were dead, yet shall he live again." Thank God there is a rest remaining to the people of God; we will reach by and by.
