Joseph Pickthall, Old Jossy Hornpike, Kendal, Westmorland, England, 1867, obituary
Westmorland Gazette, Saturday, 11 May 1867, page 5
On Sunday, the 5th inst., in the Woolpack Yard, in this town, Mr. Joseph Pickthall, better known as "Old Jossy Hornpike", the "oldest inhabitant" of Kendal. Deceased was born at Beckside, in Old Hutton, near this town, on the 15th of March, 1770, so that at the time of his death he was in the 98th year of his age. Latterly he has led a quiet and inoffensive life, toddling about the streets in knee-breeches and stick in hand almost to the last. When in his prime he followed for many years the business of a potter or earthenware dealer, reguarly every Saturday displaying his wares in the "pot market" on the west side of Stricklandgate, but he resided for the greater part of his long life in Capper Lane, Kirkland, where he was a well known character, and withal a man of energy and spirit; as a proof of which it may be stated that he dared to record his vote in favour of the Lowthers at each of the three great Westmorland contests of 1818, 1820, and 1826. Acts of moral courage which can only be duly appreciated by those who remember the fierce obloquy and reproach which he received for his independent conduct from his more immediate neighbours in Capper, who were to a man (and woman too) violent zealots on the opposite side. His remains were followed to the grave in the Church Cemetery, on Tuesday, by a goodly retinue of descendants to the third generation.

Alonzo Muchler, Toledo, Ohio, 1884
Cleveland Plain Dealer, 11 Sep 1884, page 4
MUCHLER'S MALICE
A Man Throws Oil of Vitriol into His Wife's Face
Alonzo Muchler, aged 24, a bricklayer hailing from Toledo, was arrested last night for throwing oil of vitriol into the face of his wife, Mollie Muchler, better known in certain circles as the "Sandusky Blonde". They were married four years ago, but have been at war ever since. Muchler is said to have adopted the "mani-cure" for the alleged transgressions of his wife, and she ran away, taking up her home in a disreputable house, no. 202 Seneca Street. Yesterday, Muchler arrived here and seeking out his wife, dashed the contents of a vial of vitriol into her face. This happened on Michigan Street, and Muchler turned into Seneca Street, where he ran into the arms of a policeman. The woman was taken to Bock's Drug Store, where Dr. Arms took her under treatment.

This photograph was found in a Photo Album belonging to my gggrandfather, John Stubbs, of Middleburgh, Cuyahoga county, Ohio. We assumed that this was another GAR friend from time spent in the 103OVI during the Civil War, but there is no one by that name listed on the 103rd's rolls. The photo is marked "A. Williamson" and was taken in Lansing, Michigan. If you know who this is, please let me know. Thanks!

DUANE W. ORMSBY
Duane W. Ormsby, aged 81, died at his home at No. 350 South Rutland street Sunday. Mr. Ormsby has been a resident of Jefferson county all of his life and was one of the oldest and best known insurance agents in the city.
He was born in the town of Clayton, January 12, 1831, and spent his early life in that town. Later he went into the mercantile business in Depauville and remained there until he purchased a farm in the town of Ellisburg near Bellville. He lived there for about 16 years, until about 25 years ago when he moved to this city where he remained until his death.
Immediately upon taking up his residence in Watertown, Mr. Ormsby became identified with the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, and remained a representative of this company until his death. During this time he built up a large insurance business and became very well known.
Mr. Ormsby is survived by two children, a son, Fulton B. Ormsby of Chicago, and a daughter Miss Cora M. Ormsby of this city.
The funeral was held from the late residence, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Rev. D.C. Johnson, pastor of the Asbury M.E. church officiating. Interment was North Watertown.

WILL OF DUANE ORMSBY
"I desire that in the use and employment of proprty hereby devised and bequeathed a true spirit of liberality and benevolence be exercised, realizing that the estate has been accumulated by honest industry and the blessing of God."
Thus dictated the late Duane Ormsby in a portion of his will made in 1910 and witnessed by Fred W. Bush, John T. Peck and Fred Grant. Under the will $100 is given to each of his two grandchildren, children of Fulton Ormsby, of Chicago, and these gifts he asks them to accept as a gift from their grandmother. To his daughter, Cora, he gives the houes and lot on Rutland street, where they have resided for a number of years together with all of the furniture and $2,500. The remainder of the property is to be equally divided between the son and the daughter. Both are named as executors of the will and no bonds are required. The petition for the probate of the will estimates the value of the personal property at $4,000 and the real estate at $8,000.

TWO CHILDREN LEFT IN THE WOODS 20 MILES FROM HOME. Two little sons of Mr. Joseph Frank, baker on Franklin street, started away from home on the 11 o'clock train on Saturday, for Union, without the knowledge of their parents. On their return trip the conductor mistook them for children belonging to Union, and put them out of the cars about a mile this side of that place. When the train reached Titusville, the baggage master informed Mr. Frank that his children had been put off by mistake, and he took the evening train to search for them. His efforts, however, proved unavailing until yesterday morning, when he discovered them in a baggage car, and brought them home last night. It appears that the little fellows, who are respectively six and eight years of age, when they found themselves in the woods, made up their minds to walk home. A farmer finding them crying bitterly, took them to his house and provided for them during the night, and placed them in the baggage car next morning. The anxiety of the father was much relieved at the discovery.
