Mrs. Mary A. RUSSELL, 91 years of age, died at the home of her son, Lester HEETER, Ohio Street, East Rochester, at 7:00 o’clock Thursday evening.

Obit*

William Frank's obituary was published in the Rochester Sentinel on 29 July 1936:
Ill health was held responsible for the death of William Frank WAGONER, aged 78, well known resident of this city residing at 606 North Main Street, who committed suicide by hanging himself in a room of his home sometime during Tuesday night. Wagoner’s body was found by his uncle, William EWING at 7 o’clock Wednesday morning, when Mr. Ewing went to call on Wagoner as had been his daily custom. Mr. Ewing called Dr. Dean STINSON, coroner, and Sheriff Boyd PETERSON, who cut down the body. Mr. Wagoner was better known by his many friends as Frank WAGONER. He had evidently planned his death with much precision. He placed a stick over a register in an upstairs bedroom. Around this stick and down through the register he dropped a rope which had been made by twisting wrapping cord.
Mr. Wagoner then placed the noose about his neck, stood on a chair and swung off. He could have saved his life had he so desired as the foot which touched the floor was trailing. Death was due to strangulation, Dr. Stinson held. The deceased lived alone. He had been in ill health for the past five weeks at which time he suffered a sun stroke while cutting Canada thistles on his farm near this city.
Mrs. William EWING had taken Mr. Wagoner’s supper to him last evening at 6 o’clock. She was the last person to see him alive. Wagoner at that time conversed with Mrs. Ewing about his financial affairs. Mr. Wagoner had no financial worries as he was the owner of a large farm and $290 in money was found in a pocketbook which he had secreted in his bed. It is believed that he has other securities.

The deceased was a life long resident of Fulton county. He was born on a farm near Athens on July 1, 1858. His parents were James and Jennie WAGONER. His father was a Dunkard minister. He was married to Kate HARE. This marriage was dissolved by a divorce. Mr. Wagoner, for a number of years was the night watchman at the Rochester Bridge Company. Since the closing of the plant, he had never had any regular employment. William Ewing is his only immediate survivor.⁹

Obit

Samuel W.'s obituary was published in the Rochester Sentinel on 3 July 1896:

Samuel W. SHIELDS, who departed this life this morning, was born on the east side of Lake Manitou, Fulton county, Ind., November 10, 1842, and remained upon the farm until he enlisted in Company K, 46th Ind Volunteer Infantry, in 1861, and continued in the service until mustered out on account of his continued ill health. New Year’s day, 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary BURCH, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Levi BURCH, and to them were born five children, each of whom, with the wife and mother survive the beloved husband and father. Sammy Shields, as he was commonly known, was an all-round good citizen -- honest, honorable, and upright in all dealings. For many years he was the proprietor of a meat market, but afterward became an employe in the same business, and we have yet to learn that his integrity was ever questioned in any particular. His father died many years ago. His mother, Mrs. Susan SHIELDS, his sister, Miss Laura SHIELDS, residents of Rochester, and brother, Thos. Scott SHIELDS, in New York city, are all that remain of a once numerous family. The deceased was an honored comrade of McClung Post, GAR which order will conduct the interment of the remains. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. C. A. BROOKE, at the residence, on Franklin avenue, Friday forenoon, at 10:30 o’clock.³
