William STINSON died at the home of his father in Henry township, Thursday evening, Sep 2, after an illness of some months from Brights disease and complications, aged 46 years 2 months and 22 days.
The deceased, son of James K. and Martha J. STINSON, was born at Massieville, near Chillicothe, Ross county, Ohio, June 10, 1851.
He was united in marriage with Almedia [DAVIDSON], daughter of Stephen DAVIDSON, of Fulton county, Indiana, April 7, 1881. After his marriage he resided for a time at Michigan City, Indiana, and afterward for a short time at Hoover's Station, and from there he moved in December, 1889 to Ellensburg, Washington. Here for some time and up to the time of his death he filled the office of sheriff of Kittitas county.
He returned to Fulton county, Indiana, May 2, 1897, on a business trip and for the [treatment ?] of his [health ?] which never sufficiently improved to admit of his return home. His family was sent for and on May 30, 1897, Mrs. Stinson and eldest and youngest child reached Fulton county.
Eight children were born to Mr. & Mrs. Stinson, two of which died some years ago and lie in the Citizens cemetery at Rochester. Mrs. Stinson will probably not return to Ellensburg, but the remaining four children will be brought to Fulton county, where the family will reside in the future. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. H. L. WELTMER of Rochester, at the home of the father of the deceased, after which the funeral cortege, made up of vast concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors, proceeded to the Hoover cemetery at Athens, where the deceased was laid to rest by the side of his mother.
William Stinson was a man of strict integrity and of an affable, genial disposition, which enabled him to make friends with all whose pleasure it was to know him.
