CALL, Samuel - Putnam

Samuel Call, who has been a long and patient sufferer for fourteen months, departed this life at 5:15 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 23, 1899.  His first marriage was to Emma Taylor, who departed this life some twenty years ago. To this union were born six children, four of whom have gone before and two survive. His second marriage was to Mary J. Shahan, and to this union was born one son.

He united with the Christian Church at Parkersburg about three years ago. “Uncle Sam” as he was familiarly known among his neighbors, was a good, kind husband and a kind, consistent Christian citizen and neighbor. He was loved and respected by all, and will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends, neighbors and relatives.  Funeral services were conducted at the Christian Church at Parkersburg by Rev. Henry Ashley, of Lebanon. The I. O. O. F. lodge, of which he was a member, conducted the services at the Ladoga Cemetery, after which the interment took place. - kbz
