On the 30th ult. At the residence of her son-in-law, John H. Fleming,
Esq., in Independence Township, Ann Raub aged 93 years, 1 month and twelve
days, relict of Michael Raub, deceased.
The deceased, notwithstanding
her unusual longevity, seemed to retain her faculties, with a remarkable
degree of brilliancy to the last, with the exception of her eye sight,
of which she was deprived for the last nine months of her life.
She delighted in
conversing on topics connected with the American Revolution, with which
war she was fully conversant, and in which her husband was an actor.
The years of her widowhood were about 17; and during that time, many were
her longings that it might be her Heavenly Father's will to take her to
Himself; for, when her companion was taken, earth had no longer any attractions
for her.
But, notwithstanding
she was bereft of a companion, she was not left comfortless. Her
affectionate daughter, Mrs. Fleming, was peculiarly her comfort and consolation
in her old age. Mrs. Fleming welcomed her mother to her own home;
and there, by night and day, with daughter-like devotion for 13 years,
she ministered to that mother's happiness--bathing with tenderness her
fevered brow, in sickness, wiping away with gentle hand, her tears of sorrow,
and finally, smoothing the pillow on which she breathed her last.
The deceased was
for 50 years a member of the Presbyterian Church, and died in the full
hope of a glorious immortality.
“Her mind was tranquil and serene;
No terrors in her looks were seen;
Her Savior's smile dispelled the gloom,
And smoothed her passage to the tomb.”
Note: Ann Raub was the daughter
of Wilhelm and Ester Maria Kuhl, and my 3rd great grandmother. JR

Another link in the living
chain of connection between us and the times that tried mens souls is severed.
The subject of these remarks lived in the time of the Revolution, and has
often related to willing listeners transactions that came under his immediate
notice during those trying times--He was a man of remarkable fortitude,
and his memory retained with accuracy the impressions received in his younger
days. He had an exemplary life, was ever absemious, generous and
brave. He has met his last and only foe, and calmly sank into the
arms of Death, that he might reap the reward of a well spent life.
Peace be to his ashes.

Banghart, in Bridgeville, (N.J.) Bethia, wife of George Banghart, in the
95th year of her age. Her father, (George Grimes,) was a native of
Connecticut; but she was born at Nobletown, N.Y. In early life she
removed to the Wyoming Valley; and, during the difficulty with the Indians,
she and her mother took shelter in Forty Fort; and she is believed to have
been the last of all the survivors of the awful Wyoming massacre.
During the last seventy
years, Mrs. Banghart has resided in New Jersey; and upward of sixty-five
years, has been a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church;
she and her husband being the first of that denomination in this vicinity.
None of her acquaintances
doubted the genuineness of her piety; and only a few moments prior to her
departure, she remarked to her son, that she was going to her home in
Heaven.
Note: According to a descendant of
Bethia's husband by his first wife (Pat, TACY413408@aol.com), Bethia's
husband's name was Michael, not George as stated in this obituary.
They are buried in the First
Presbyterian Churchyard of Oxford at Hazen. This information
is from the HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE JACOB BANGHART FAMILY by Frederick
L. Mullin.

James VanHorn of Danville, in this County, while engaged in his barnyard

of the heart, and expired before he could be conveyed to his house.
Mr. VanHorn was an affectionate
husband, an indulgent and provident father, a kind neighbor, a worthy and
respected citizen. He was aged 71 years and 7 months.
On Firday, the 17th inst.,
a large concourse of his relatives and friends assembled in the Danville
church, to pay their last tribute to him.--A solemn and impressive discourse,
founded on the 25th and 26th verses of the Gospel by St. John was preached
on this occasion, by Rev. Geo. Banghart.
As the coffin closed,
tears flowed freely as the thought that we had looked upon his friendly
and familiar face for the last time; and as the grave closed over his remains,
we sighed to think that he should go in and out among us no more forever.
