Israel J. Dewey
Israel J. Dewey was born June 15, 1829, on what is known as Dogwood Ridge, Porter Township, Scioto County, O., and died January 13, 1914, at Stockdale, Pike County, O., aged 84 years, 6 months and 29 days. At the age of four years he, with his parents, Dr. Joseph and Rosana (Tener) Dewey, removed to a location in Harrison Township, Scioto County, now known as Harrisonville, where he grew to manhood and worked at the trade of cabinet maker with Thomas Howell. About the year 1850 he was married to Elizabeth M. Kirkpatrick, daughter of Rev. John H. and Harriet (Beauchamp) Kirkpatrick, who with an infant daughter died about the year 1853. On the first day of January 1855, he was again united in marriage with Elizabeth A. Samson, daughter of Rev. William and Eliza (Beauchamp) Samson all of Madison Township, Scioto County. To this union were born four children: Israel J. Jr., Willie S., Caroline M. and John H. The former two died while in infancy. Thus at his death he leaves!
to mourn his loss an aged companion, two children, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, to-wit; Mrs. Theodore V. Gordon of Urbana, Ill., and John II, Dewey of Stockdale, O. (daughter and son); Mrs. Alva Daniels, Jeffersonville, O., Mrs. Fred Groves, Bloomingburg, O., David Arthur Gordon, Savoy, Ill., and Miss Beatrice Gordon, Urbana, Ill., grand-children, and little Misses Helen Daniels and Mary Groves, great-grand-children. Of his father's family, one brother, Joseph Dewey, of Jasper, O., survives at the age of 82 years; five sisters: Mrs. Samuel Taylor, Mrs. J. M. Violet, Sr., Mrs. J. H. Stockham, Mrs. Wesley Bradford and Miss Emma, have preceded him to the better land. Early in life he united with the Methodist Church and continued a consistent and faithful member throughout his long and eventful life, always willing and ready to respond to duty for the betterment of humanity and the interests of church work. Being moral like all mankind, he possibly made!
mistakes, but none were more ready and willing than he to make wrongs
right and to establish himself in confidence with his God and man. In his last declining years, although prohibited by illness and the infirmities of age from attending regularly public service at the church, he, together with his aged wife, enjoyed many happy seasons of worship around the old family fireside altar, and in his very latest hours he was happy, realizing that very soon he would be released from pain and suffering and be forever at rest with the Savior and loved ones gone before. On the first day of January 1914, he and his wife celebrated the 59th anniversary of their wedding, together with some of their near friends, and occasion very rare in this day and age. The subject of this sketch was a man widely known as a building contractor all over Scioto, Pike and Jackson counties, and for more than 40 years of his active life. No other man of his day and vicinity left more monuments of his skill and energy in the form of churches, school houses, dwellings, mills, bridges and public buildings than he and all over these counties one can see still standing many of these monuments to his skill, although three and four decades have elapsed since their erection. His motto was, whatever was worth doing must be done well. In connection with his building work he was engaged in the undertaking business, and of the hundreds of caskets used in this line he never used a factory-made one. All were of his own handiwork and built upon his own substantial lines of workmanship. In the dark days of the rebellion he enlisted his country's defense, being a member of Company G. 173rd regiment, O.V.I. and was engaged in some of the last great battles of the war around Nashville, Tenn., when "Old Pap" Thomas put the finishing strokes to the rebellion in the West by putting to rout and almost annihilating the rebel army under General Hood. Returning home at the close of the war he again took up the contracting work where he laid it down to (the re!
st of the article here is not readable) church near Stockdale. The b
urial service was conducted under the auspices of the Sam Slavens Post, G. A. R., loyally assisted by the local camp S. of V., who tenderly rendered the beautiful and impressive ritualistic burial ceremony of the G. A. R., after which the body was laid to rest in the beautiful church cemetery one mile east of Stockdale. J.L.S., Portsmouth, Ohio.
