A Family Poisoned By Eating Toadstools.
On Monday of last week the family of Mr. Daniel Ashbaugh, living on the Milar farm about one mile north of Lockport, in this township, and two little nieces, named Richardson, who were visiting from the Xenia orphans’ home, were seriously poisoned by eating toadstools, which they had gathered, supposing them to be the esculent mushroom. Mrs. Ashbaugh, her two children, and her two nieces ate of the poisonous plant at supper and were taken very sick the same night. On the next day Mrs. Ashbaugh’s oldest child, a boy of 7 years, who had eaten very liberally of the plant, was taken violently ill and died in five hours. The other child of Mrs. A., about 5 years old, as also her two nieces, although very sick after eating, have so far recovered that they are considered out of danger; but Mrs. Ashbaugh, as late as Monday afternoon of this week, was yet very sick and hardly expected to live. Some of the symptoms attending the little boy’s sickness, who died, are said to have been like those in hydrophobia, and that the little fellow suffered greatly.
Frequent cases of sickness and death have been recorded from eating the toadstool and other poisonous fungi for the edible and harmless mushrooms, and unless persons are quite sure of their ability to discriminate between the good and the bad they had better discard all such luxuries.

Old And Broken
He asks to be Admitted to the Infirmary.
After residing on the south side for years and years, Dan Ashbaugh, known over the entire county by the cognomen “Old Salty Pinter,” has petitioned the board of infirmary directors to be taken in that institution. Mr. Ashbaugh has for the past number of years had a hard row to hoe, and since the death of his wife that occurred last summer, his life has not been all sunshine. Ever since the most of us can remember, Dan Ashbaugh has been a familiar figure on the streets of our city. His manner of dress, his speech and his quaint sayings earned for him the title of the “southside philosopher.” His greatest stunt was to argue on the Bible and its teachings, and for hours at a time he would sit and defend his position in an argument, quoting verse after verse from the Book, nor was there any subject, that he could not find some verse in the Bible that was relative to it. No doubt the fine weather, even if admitted at the infirmary, will find him again on our streets as in the days of yore.

Cupid Works Mysteriously His Wonders To Perform
O, Cupid, what acts are committed in thy name! The little God of love surely does work in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform. Frail man meets him but once, until he thrills, with the tender all-consuming passion that grips his heart and is called love.
The latest citizen, who has fallen a victim to Cupid’s darts is Daniel Ashbaugh, the venerable sage of the south side. In the law office of Graham & Stafford, at nine o’clock Wednesday morning, Rev. Dye pronounced the magic words, that united him “until death do us part” to Mrs. Lucy Horn formerly of Coshocton county. The license was procured in the Coshocton probate court.
Though it is like a wedding of May and December, Mrs. Ashbaugh will find pleasure in making the declining years of her husband happy. The groom is but 78, while the bride has the youthful appearance of a woman aged about 40.
It is said that Mr. Ashbaugh is her fourth husband. The couple will make their home on the south side, in the property, which Mr. Ashbaugh presented his wife as a wedding present.
It is doubtful if in all the city there is a better known resident than Daniel Ashbaugh. His quaint remarks have won for him the title of the “south side sage and philosopher.” Who in this city can remember, when Mr. Ashbaugh found himself at a loss for words on any subject from religion to war? His interpretations of the scriptures have been the cause for much comment and have done much to win him the singular cognomen of “sage.”
The news of his marriage will prove a surprise to his friends. Little did they know of the tender passion that surged through his heart, when first he met Mrs. Horn. Whether it was “love at first sight” is not known, but it was LOVE and so, from many friends, they have best wishes for a bright future.

Five Generations Of The Ashbaugh Family Living — Dan Ashbaugh Is 88
Daniel Ashbaugh, 88, Blake street, is a great-great grandfather.
Patrolman J.A. Medley, his grandson at 35, is a great-uncle.
Wilbert Sherer, three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Sherer off Tuscarawas avenue, represents the fifth generation. He is recovering from typhoid fever at the home of his grandfather, John Haney, who lives on the Ridge road, Goshen township.
Mrs. John Medley, West Front street, mother of Mrs. Haney, is at the Haney home caring for the family while her daughter is at Union hospital. Mrs. Haney has been a patient there for the past four weeks, suffering with typhoid fever.
The family’s five generations and the ages of the representatives of each generation are: Daniel Ashbaugh, 88; his daughter, Mrs. John Medley, 61; Mrs. Medley’s daughter, Mrs. John Haney, 39; Mrs. Haney’s daughter, Mrs. Jacob Sherer, who lives off Tuscarawas avenue near the Dover corporation line and Mrs. Sherer’s son, Wilbert.
Mr. Ashbaugh is well preserved, bidding fair to attain his centennial. He was a veteran of the Civil war, fighting in the 80th O.V.I.
It is expected that Mrs. Haney will be removed Friday to her home from the hospital.
Walter Swinderman, aged 8, son of Mrs. John Young, Front street, has recovered from an attack of typhoid fever with which he was ill. He is able to return to his studies at school. He took sick while at the Haney home this summer.
Wilbert, the little son of Jacob Sherer was ill at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Haney when she was taken to the hospital.
Mr. Ashbaugh, known to hundreds as “Uncle Dan” when asked his age, said, “I have lived the longest of anybody living here, have lived in New Philadelphia the longest of any citizen and am the longest old man in the city.” It was a characteristic remark of a representative citizen of a passing generation.

City’s Oldest Civil War Vet Dies Tuesday
Daniel Ashbaugh, 93, Succumbs
Ohio Canal Man Never Used Liquor or Smoked.
Daniel Ashbaugh, 93, the city’s oldest Civil War veteran and one of two surviving members in this city of the 80th O.V.I., died Tuesday at 1:30 a.m. at his home at 155 Blake street, South Side, of infirmities of old age, after being critically ill one week.
“Uncle Dan,” as he was familiarly known to residents of this city for the generations following the Civil war, has lived in retirement for the past fifteen years after an active life of driving mules along the Ohio canal. He drove his own team and pulled canal boats from Cleveland to Chillicothe.
The widow of his second marriage, Mrs. Lucy J. Ashbaugh, 70, and three children of his first union survive. They are Mrs. John Medley, this city; George, Goshen, and Mrs. Bertha Kefower, Zanesville. Two half sisters, Mrs. Bertha Kefower, 62, the youngest of the family which consisted of eleven children, and Miss Hanna Ashbaugh, 225 West Fair street, also survive. His first wife died in Lima when she became ill while visiting her daughter, Mrs. Sophia Bush, who also is dead.
He was born near Farmerstown, Holmes county, at which was then known as Becks Mills, January 18, 1832. When he was four years old his parents, Daniel and Susannah Ashbaugh, removed to Goshen township.
Never Drank of Smoked
He attributed his longevity to his total abstinence from alcoholic beverages and tobacco.
During the Civil war he was a member of Company B, 80th O.V.I. of which the late Mayor O.C. Powleson was captain. He was a soldier three years and six months, and participated in Sherman’s March to the Sea.
In addition to boating and farming, Mr. Ashbaugh had worked for the late George Welty in his paper mill.
The late Solomon Ashbaugh, a former auditor of Tuscarawas county, whose daughter, Mrs. Cora Taylor, resides in West Fair street, was a half brother.
Oliver P. Black is the only surviving member of the 80th O.V.I. living in this city.
Funeral services will be conducted Thursday at 2 p.m. from the residence. Rev. Oscar M. Adam will officiate. Burial will be made in East Fair street cemetery.
