Nathaniel Buzzell, 70, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. I. Rearick. He came to Fulton with his parents when a lad and lived in that county until he married Mariah Shepler in 1855, when they moved to Liberty Center, where they lived for 45 years. Six children were born of this union, all of whom survived him. The wife and mother had died six years previous.
