OBITUARY
TWO PIONEERS
Answer the Final Roll Call and Pass to the Great Beyond
...The number of the original settlers of Paulding county that are left among the living are becoming very few. This week two of the real pioneers have answered the final roll call and passed to the great beyond.
...Mrs. Mary Leeth, widow of the late Darius Leeth, who were early settlers in Harrison township and William R. Crawford, who located in Jackson township in 1859. The present day generation of folks can hardly picture in their minds the conditions which confronted these first settlers in a new country Miles of forests stretching in every direction; neighbors few and far between; no roads except those blazed through the trackless woods by their own hands. The loneliness of such circumstances would quail any but the bravest hearts. But by courage they over come all these obstacles and in faith they succeeded in establishing homes and rearing families. All honor and praise is due their memories.
