An Old Resident Dies

Our citizens were pained to learn on Saturday morning that Wm. Each had died the previous evening at eight o’clock. Mr. Each was an old respected citizen, and one with a host of close friends, has been in poor health for some time past and his death was not altogether unexpected. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. H. Sheckler at one o’clock Monday afternoon in the M. E. church and the remains were interred in Evergreen cemetery. The following is a sketch of the life of the deceased.

Wm. Each was born in London, England, Sept. 17, 1829, and came to Sabula twenty years later. Returning to England a few years after he was married to Miss H. Taplin in 1855, who died leaving four children. Three of these children died in early youth and the fourth, Mrs. Matilda Paulsen, died in 1899. Deceased was later married to Miss Maria Wills and four children were born. Three are now living – Oliver, John, Rose (Mrs. Sidney Brake) – and the fourth, Emily, is dead. Three sisters, Mrs. A. W. Day and Mrs. M. S. of England, and one brother, John, of Louisiana, are also left to mourn his loss. Mr. Each moved to this city from his farm a few years ago and resided here until his death. He was a man of many good qualities, honest, straightforward and a friend to all who knew him.
