Thomas B. Ransdell died at his home in this city Thursday noon, June 22. He had been confined to his bed for over a year, the result of a fall, which caused softening of the brain. In 1871 he was in a railway accident, the result being the loss of one arm and limb. He was industrious as far as his physical condition would permit, and previous to this last sickness was a man of good judgment and solid integrity. He was born in Henry County, Kentucky, December 9, 1831, and was married to Mary E. Hendrickson July 31, 1854, to whom eleven children were born, of whom eight survive him. All reside in this city except Mrs. N. W. Duley, of Logansport. The funeral was conducted Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the residence on Kentucky Avenue, Rev. H. L. Davis officiating. Interment was at Oak Hill Cemetery. Rest and peace to the departed and the truest sympathy to those who mourn is the feeling which swells every heart.
