A Memoir
James Riggs was born March 6th, A. D. 1794, died July 15th, 1870; age 76 years.
Brother Riggs was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and professor of religion for forty-nine years. He settled in Clay townshp, Gallia county, some 38 years ago. By industry and economy he secured a competency of the things of this life, at the same time he labored to lay up treasures in Heaven.
In the settling of the neighborhood a church was erected on his farm, where a large society was formed and himself and family worshipped until he was removed to the Church above. His house has always been the welcome home of the Itinerant Preachers. He was a warm friend and supporter of the Church.
His disease was of such a character that it affected the mind, and during the greater part of his sickness, which continued for several weeks and for some ten days before his death, it was with great difficulty that he could speak, but before he died he was enabled to speak audibly and give clear and satisfactory evidence, to his aged companion and children, that he was prepared for the change, and while his brethren and sisters joined in singing some of his favorite hymns, he was exceedingly happy and seemed to have a foretaste of the joys that he was so soon permitted to enter upon in the Church triumphant. He has left a beautiful home, and a kind and loving wife and children, for a home in Heaven. The community has lost a worthy and useful citizen, the wife a kind and affectionate husband, the children a loving and exemplary father, the Church a useful and faithful member. But our loss is his eternal gain. He has passed away from the labors and sufferings of this life, and we believe he has entered upon that life where mortal and physical evils will never come. May the blessings of God sustain the widow and children, and may they all meet in that better world where separation will never take place--where husbands and wives, parents and children, will meet each other in the sun-bright clime.

FEUD OF COLVINS PROVES FATAL
Self Defense Claimed
Charles Colvin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Colvin, was shot and probably fatally wounded Saturday evening by Ed. Colvin
The mother of young Colvin, who was summoned to his side shortly after the shooting and had attended him Sunday and Sunday night, was found dead in her bed Monday morning, presumably from heart disease, the fatal attack doubtless superinduced by the excitement resulting from the tragedy.
(see article for more)
The remains of Mrs. Jasper Colvin were removed to the residence of her son, Richard, on South East street. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been announced. | Colvin, Charley Lester (I6080)

Judge Scores Parent; Homes Offered Son
Ohioan Sentenced to Serve 90 Days After Youth Drags Log Chain to School.
—Probate court officials investigated offers of homes for ten-year-old Bobby Feucht from all over the country today while the boy's stepfather, William P. Leeth, 55, began a 90-day jail sentence for padlocking him to the kitchen stove and forcing him to the kitchen stove and forcing him to drag a 15-foot log chain to school.
—Probate Judge Paul R. Capell, scoring Leeth in a lengthy decision, passed the sentence last night and disclosed receipt of numerous additional offers of homes.
Charged With Torture
—Leeth declared when first held last week that he chained the boy because "he ran away." Probate officers placed in charge of "torture and cruel punishment" against Leeth.
—Judge Capell said that investigation had shown the boy to be "incorrigible" and deserving of some punishment, but "not to the extent of placing him in chains, which constitutes cruelty and torture and for which you owe a debt to society in the form of punishment."
—"If you were a person of average intelligence," he told Leeth, "penalty in the maximum would be made, but the report of psychiatrists who have examined you and found you to be subnormal warrants consideration."
Don't Condemn Child
—He asserted parents' insufficiencies frequently were more responsible for children going wrong than the children's own delinquencies and added, "when parents permit conditions to grow and exist and if the child happens to step out of our ideas of right action, we can not condemn the child."
—It was charged that the boy was chained after he went into the kitchen to get a piece of pumpkin pie denied him at dinner. | Leeth, William Perry (I855)

Rural Carriers Meet
Friday evening, Oct., 3, the members of the Paulding County Rural Letter Carrier's Association held a meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Leeth in Payne, in honor of the retirement of Mr. Leeth from duty, after almost 28 years of service as rural mail carrier on Route One.
A large number of carriers and their families from Van Wert and Defiance counties were also present, there being in all, 73 persons who enjoyed the bounteous supper which was served at 6:30 o'clock by the members of the Ladies' Auxiliary.
Postmaster W. E. Lehman, in a very able manner, then presented to Mr. Leeth a beautiful smoking set, as a token of remembrance from the boys of the Payne post-office.
A brief report of the business transacted at the National Convention, which was held at Detroit in August, was given by S. D. Mooney, who was a delegate from the Fifth District. Following this report a number of interesting talks were made by visiting post-masters and carriers.
At a late hour all departed for their homes wishing Mr. and Mrs. Leeth a very happy "vacation." | Leeth, Martin Mayhugh (I131)
