Died on the 20th of March, of inflammation of the bowels, Thos. P. Larsh, aged 50 years.
Mr. Larsh was born in Preble County in the year 1823, and was a son of Joseph and Sarah Larsh, who soon after immigrated with their small family to this county. After a short residence in this state, Joseph Larsh fell a victim to that dreadful disease known as milk sickness, leaving a widow and four small children. His widow, with that energy which characterized the pioneer women of those times, went to work determined to maintain her family, and for her efforts she was awarded. She was full of those principles which go to make a good man.
His word was just as inviolate as his paper from early childhood. His many friends will feel his loss. For in the true sense of the word he was an honest, faithful and benevolent man. He leaves a widow, one brother and two sisters. Though unprofessional in religion he was looked upon as a Christian. -s
