Nash, William
Death of Hon. William Nash
Hon. William Nash died at the residence of his brother, S. A. Nash, Esq., in this city, last Tuesday morning, at four o’clock. He had been ill for a long time, and his death had been expected for weeks.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. E. I. d’Argent, at the Presbyterian Church, on Thursday afternoon, at half past two o’clock, the burial being at the Old Cemetery by Hayward & Son. The funeral was under the auspices of the Masonic Fraternity, of which the deceased had been a member for many years. There was a large attendance at the funeral, testifying to the esteem in which Mr. Nash was held by the citizens of the town with which he had been so prominently identified for so many years.
William Nash was born in South Hadley, Mass., on the 18th day of July, 1817. He learned the printer’s trade in Springfield, Mass., worked for awhile in New York City, and came to this city in 1838, taking a position on the Gallipolis Journal, of which Capt. Alexander Vance was editor and proprietor.
In 1839, he bought a half interest in the paper, became its sole owner soon afterwards, and with the exception of short intervals was connected with it up to the time that death claimed him.
He was prominent in Whig and Republican politics in this part of the State for many years, and was elected to a great many different offices. He was Mayor of this city, County Treasurer for two years, County Auditor for eight years, member of the State Board of Equalization in 1870, and member of the State Senate in the Sixtieth General Assembly. In 1880, he was a delegate to the Republican National Convention.
His services to the political parties with which he was identified were constant and able, and his advice was always sought upon important matters with which they had to deal.
Since 1889, Mr. Nash had not done much work upon the Journal. The infirmities of age were creeping upon him, and he spent his declining years at the residence of his youngest brother, Mr. Samuel A. Nash. During the last two years he did no editorial work.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, with which he became connected about seven years ago.
The death of Mr. Nash is universally regretted throughout this town and county. Although expected, the news which reached his large circle of friends last Tuesday morning was sad, indeed. He was one of our most worthy citizens, and our people held him in the highest esteem.

Neale, Laura Carter
The family and friends of Mrs. Laura Carter Neale, who was born reared in Gallia county, will regret to learn of her death at San Diego, Ca , Jan 24. Mrs. Neale had not been in good health for several years, yet the news of her death from a heart infection came as a great shock. At the time of her mother's passing two years ago in December she was unable to accompany the body back to Patriot for burial.
She was the only daughter of John H and Abigail Carter long known in the vicinity of Patriot as Uncle Jack and Aunt Abbie. The family lived at Rio Grande for a few years, and she and her brothers attended the college. After teaching two years in Gallia County she went to Washington state where she met Claude Neale whom she later married at her home in Patriot.
The late Oscar Carter of Rio Grande was a brother. Isaac of Gibsonburg, Ohio, is the only surviving member of what was once one of Gallia County's prominent families.
Mrs Neale was a woman of unusual likeableness and personality and she and Mr. Neale had all plans made to drive to Ohio the coming summer to visit relatives and friends...

Needham, Charles W. C. H.
Mr. Chas. W.H. Needham died this Wednesday morning at 3 o’clock in the Park Sanitarium hospital in New York City.
Last Thursday evening, while eating dinner at the Hotel McAlpin he was stricken with appendicitis. Hurried at once to the hospital, the physicians found an operation necessary, and it was performed the next day.
Mr. Needham rallied from the operation nicely, and the physicians reported him doing well and a speedy recovery was expected. On Sunday, two days after the operation, Mr. O. O. McIntyre reported him getting along all right, and he was even permitted to see visitors and read telegrams from friends. His mother, Mrs. Florence Needham, his sister Miss Carrie, and his little son, all at Washington for the winter, went to his bedside at once on hearing of his illness.
Evidently a sudden change for the worse set in, of which no news came to Gallipolis, for the messages bearing the news of his death received here this morning, were a shocking and totally unexpected blow to his friends and to the friends of his family.
Mr. Needham left here about ten days ago for Washington and New York, and it was said to be his purpose to go on to Canada to drill raw troops for the English Army, but we have no authoritative information that this was the case.
Capt. Verne Bovie and Mr. O.O. McIntyre rendered every assistance possible to the stricken man, Mr. Bovie remaining at the hospital with him over night, and their kindly services have no doubt been extended to his mother and sister since his death. Mr. H. H. Henking received a telegram from Mrs. Needham this morning to the effect that the body would arrive in Gallipolis Thursday noon on the Hocking Valley, and it is understood the Elks will take charge of it, as Mr. Needham was a Past Exalted Ruler of that organization and a very popular member of it.
Mr. Needham was born in Gallipolis about 44 years ago, and lived here except during his mother’s residence in Kansas City, and a year or two spent in Columbus in the advertising business. He was at one time manager of the Journal newspaper in this city. His wife, who was Miss Sibyl Blanc before her marriage, died Dec. 8, 1913, leaving a bright boy who survives both father and mother.
Mr. Needham had many friends in Gallipolis and elsewhere who will be deeply grieved by his death in the prime of his manhood.
The funeral will probably be held on Friday, with the interment following at Mound Hill by the side of his wife, but no instructions have yet been received by local parties.

Brief Outline of Career of C.W. H. Needham
Burial Here Last Friday
The body of Charles Willard Henking Needham arrived here from New York at noon last Thursday, accompanied by Mrs. Florence Needham and Miss Carrie Needham, who were joined at Columbus by Fred F. Rathburn and Dr. Garfield Alcorn. The funeral services were held at 10 o’clock Friday at the Episcopal Church under the auspices of the Elks, the deceased being a Past Exalted Ruler of the local lodge. The attendance was quite large tho comparatively so few could be apprised of the funeral arrangements in time. Burial at Mound Hill by Hayward. The pall bearers were Capt. S. A. Dunbar, J. F. Halliday, George Bovie, E. Wayne Sanns, H.H. Henking and Earl Mauck. The flower bearers were W.N. Shartz, H.P. Bradbury, Guy Walker and W.W. Sigler.
As stated in last week’s paper the news of Mr. Needham’s death caused a profound shock. While it was known here that his sudden illness was so Serious as to necessitate an immediate operation, and while the favorable reports received thereafter were not regarded as positive assurance of his final recovery, not one of his many friends seemed to be prepared for news of his passing.
The operation showed not only that he was suffering from appendicitis but that the appendix had become gangrenous and that he had peritonitis, blood poisoning and perforations of the stomach. Being a man of great vigor, he rallied from the operation. Since his death it was learned that Dr. Alcorn had advised weeks ago [to undergo an] operation for appendicitis.
Altho at intervals [he suffered] terribly, Mr. Needham made no complaint. Without doubt he realized the seriousness of his condition. Shortly before his death, when his mother was sitting on the bed beside him, he gently pinched her cheek and said “You are a brave, old mother, aren’t you? We’re not afraid, and we’ll fight it out to the last.” Anyone who knew him well might reasonably have expected such a declaration from him at such a time and under such circumstances; it was characteristic of the man.
Needham’s career was an interesting and eventful one. He liked adventure and excitement and hated restraint unless it was self-imposed. He was square, frank, aboveboard in all his relations with his fellows.
He was a capable, versatile, vigorous man, who did not care to achieve success over beaten paths but preferred to travel the unbeaten paths lead where they might. He could quickly adjust himself to any situation. He had been a bank clerk, reporter, hotel clerk, advertising agent, campaign manager, soldier. He had when rather young joined a band of adventurers who were headed for Central America with history-making purposes in view when the authorities seized the ringleader. He was in the Cherokee rush, with an old cattleman for a partner. Driving across the prairie in a buckboard and near the head of the procession, Needham was thrown out. His head hit the ground and he was unconscious for hours. The old cattleman threw out a hatchet and a canteen but did not even check his galloping ponies. A few hours later Needham staked off a claim there where his partner had left him. Later he sold this claim or gave it away. Five or six years ago he told the writer this claim was worth $16,000 to $18,000.
The most interesting chapter of his career, if any were qualified to write more than an outline, would deal with the time he spent in South Africa. There he figured in many thrilling episodes. With new-found friends he had encounters with the natives of the interior; and on one occasion he risked his life to save an American from pursuing band of hostile natives. Needham never referred to the matter; but some years after it happened, the man he saved told of the exploit and gave the story to the newspapers in the hope that he might locate Needham.
Once he and another American hoisted an American flag and celebrated the Fourth of July. British soldiers undertook to suppress this patriotic outburst and several shots were exchanged. British officers appeared on the scene and told their men not to interfere with the Stars and Stripes on that day. In the Dark Continent, Needham became an intimate friend of the great Cecil Rhodes; of Lord Roberts, the most popular hero of the British empire for a generation; of Barney Barnato, celebrated for his riches and his ignorance. As a fellow passenger on a ship either going to Africa or leaving Africa for London, he became quite chummy with either the Prince of Wales (now King George) or a younger Prince. At the time Needham was not so much interested in the title of his new friend as he was in the latter’s prospect of learning to roll a cigarette under his (Needham’s) tutelage.
Needham, so many of his friends declare, was acquainted with more people than anyone else they ever knew. All who knew him will regret to learn of his death. None who knew him well will ever forget him. He was sui generis.

Needham, Dr. William C. H.
City Councilman and State Senator – Dr. William C. H. Needham
Senator W.C. H. Needham, representing the Eighth Senatorial District in the State Senate, died at the residence of Mr. West, 305 East Broad street, at three o’clock yesterday morning, the disease being of a pulmonary character. The second day after the Legislature convened Senator Needham left his place in the Senate, feeling ill, and never returned, being confined to his room in the meantime, most of the time to his bed. Everything that medical skill could do to minister to his wants was done. In addition to the presence of his family and medical aid, Mr. Joseph Stafford, Auditor of Gallia County, and Mr. William Nash, editor the Gallipolis Journal, came to Columbus January 10 to render any assistance that might properly be tendered by personal friends of deceased. On account of weak lungs the deceased (a physician by profession) had not been in active practice for several years, but, being well fixed financially, spent the winter in Florida. Although weak, he expected in coming to Columbus to be able to perform his duties in the Senate.
The deceased was born in Massachusetts. When a boy, aged sixteen, the late Senator ran off from home to go into the army. This was during the late war. He volunteered and served as a private through the war in the Sixtieth Massachusetts infantry. His age at his death was about thirty-five. Soon after the war he went to make his home in Wisconsin, but, concluding to seek a warmer climate, came to Southern Ohio, settling at Gallipolis. He married a native of Gallipolis, a lady of French descent. Before being elected to the State Senate, he had been a member of the City Council of Gallipolis and Chairman of the Republic committee of Gallia county.
The proceedings in the Senate and House in reference to the death of the Senator appear elsewhere in this paper. At 2 p.m. the members of the House and Senate proceeded in a body to Broad and Seventh streets for the purpose of accompanying the remains to the depot. Quite a number of citizens and friends had gathered at the residence, among the number being Mrs. Gov. Foster, daughter Annie and Private Secretary Mussey. The members made quite an imposing appearance as they passed down High street to the depot. The remains were taken away on the Hocking Valley train to Gallipolis, where the funeral will take place next Sunday. The vacant desk and chair in the Senate will be draped in mourning. --(Columbus Journal, Friday)
Upon arrival of the remains here the legislative committee departed and the Masonic Lodge of this city took charge, and continued to do so until after burial. Dr. Needham’s sister and her husband, of Massachusetts, arrived on Saturday. The Doctor’s father was unable to be present. A special train from Pomeroy arrived at one o’clock Sunday with Masons and friends on board. The former united with Morning Dawn Lodge, F. & A.M., and repaired to the residence of the deceased where appropriate funeral services were dispensed by Rev. Father Breare. The pall bearers were Drs. Sanns, Alcorn, Johnson, Hysell, Huff and Saunders. The remains were interred at the old cemetery, a large concourse of friends paying the last, sad tribute.
In this connection a short history of the disceased [sic] is appropriate. He was born in Groton, Mass., in the year 1845, and was 36 years old when he died. While a boy he worked on a farm. He entered Norwich (Vt.) University, but left it when the war broke out, joining the 60th Mass. Regt. Serving out his term he returned to same College and graduated. Afterward he graduated at the Jefferson and a Massachusetts Medical College. He came to Gallipolis, upon the invitation of Dr. Livesay, in 1869, and afterwards married Miss Henking, who with two children survives him. He was member of this City Council a short time in 1872, but resigned because he could not hold it and also U.S. Pension Examining Surgeon. He was also Chairman of the Gallia County Republican Central Committee. He was the owner of considerable real estate in this city, and among it is a beautiful home. Dr. Needham was of a happy, good disposition and was kind and charitable. He had many warm, true friends. He was honest and truthful. Peace forever to his manes.

C. Ross Niday Dies on Wed.
Dr. C. Ross Niday, one of Gallipolis most prominent professional and business men, died at his home last Wednesday morning. Dr. Niday who had been ill for a little over a year, made a game fight but finally lost to the grim Reaper.
A man of broad interests and much energy, he had been one of the prominent figures in the city’s political, business, fraternal and social circles during his generation. He was known for his business sagacity, his charitableness, particularly to underprivileged school children, and as a generous husband and father.
He was a veteran of the World War, having served as a Second Lieutenant for the 7th Provisional Company Veterinary Training School, Camp Lee, Va., for about two months near the close of the conflict, and had served a term as commander of Lafayette Post, American Legion during the flood year of 1937.
Born on a farm in Harrison township, he early manifested traits of industry and thrift. One of his first enterprises was as a traveling salesman for a wholesale shoe house. And later he entered business here before entering a school of veterinary medicine in Cincinnati.
Bank Director
For a year or more before his death, or about the time the late S. H. Eagle retired from the Ohio Valley Bank, Dr. Niday became a director of that institution. He was also a member of St. Peter’s Episcopal church and of Naomi Lodge, Knights of Pythias and of Gallipolis Lodge of Elks.
Charles Ross Niday was born August 19, 1874, the only son of C. J. and Mariah Northup Niday. He married Maude E. Canaday, daughter of James C. and Elizabeth J. Canaday on February 6, 1896 and to them was born one son, Verne, who with the widow and three grandchildren are the only survivors of the immediate family. He was the first cousin of Victor J. Niday of this city and of Chauncey G. Niday of Columbus.
Funeral services are to be conducted on Thursday at 2 p.m. in the Entsminger Funeral chapel by Rev. Robert Leake, a former Episcopalian rector here, and burial will follow in Pine Street cemetery.

A.L. Norton Passes
End Came at Newark Early This Friday Morning.
A. Locklin Norton, 36, formerly of this city, and only child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Norton, died of double pneumonia at one o’clock this Friday morning. His parents left here yesterday to be at his bedside, and will arrive here with his body this evening. The funeral will be under Masonic auspices Sunday from their home, interment by Hayward following.
Locklin Norton was born in Portsmouth. His boyhood was spent in Gallipolis. In 1903, at the age nineteen, he went into a business partnership with Joe Moch in a Newark book and stationery store. He developed rapidly in business talent, the store was prosperous from the start, and he accumulated money rapidly. He died very well-to-do. He never married, was a personally attractive man, made friend easily, was industrious and attentive to business, avoided bad habits, and won the esteem and confidence of the Newark public. He was, in short, a son to be proud of, and the crushing blow of his death on his devoted parents has brought them the sympathy of the entire community. The deceased was a 32d degree Mason and took great interest in Masonic affairs.
