Thursday of last week was the fiftieth anniversary of the wedding of A. L. Billman and his wife Sarah whose maiden name was Rhinehart. The ending of fifty years of married life in this case finds "two hearts that beat as one, two souls with but a single thought." Mr. and Mrs. Billman are amongst our oldest and most respected citizens. They are the parents of nine children four of whom are dead. Three daughters and two sons living. The children, grandchildren, relatives and intimate friends from East, Fox, Augusta, Washington and Center Townships, to the number of 100 or more, assembled at the Billman home on North Street and partook of an elegant dinner prepared by the ladies present. John H. Fimple made a short address giving a biography of Mr. and Mrs. Billman. Short addresses were also made by J. H. Weaver and T. B. Deford. The Carrollton cornet band furnished the music for the occasion. It was a pleasant, profitable and joyous gathering of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Billman are in good health and bid fare to enjoy a number of years of life yet. The Free Press extends congratulations and are grateful for the kind remembrance of a plate of delicious cake.
His obituary in the Carroll Chronicle, Carrollton, Ohio, Friday, March 26, 1909.
A. L. Billman, one of Carrollton's most venerable citizens, died at 6 o'clock monday evening after an illness with pneumonia lasting only a day or two. Notwithstanding his great years he was around all winter in his usual health up to the last few days. The remains were interred yesterday afternoon, service having been held at 1o'clock. Mr. Billman was in his 89th year, having been born in Jefferson County, this state, November 5, 1820. his father was Pennsylvania German and his mother a native of Jefferson County. They entered land in Jefferson County on which they lived and died. they were the parents of nine children, seven of whom grew to maturity, and the subject of this notice being the oldest. his early work was in the forest and one the farm and his education limited to the subscription schools, the nearest of which was two and one half miles. At the age of 27 he began to teach school and May 13, 1847, he was married to Sarah Rinehart, a daughter of one of the sturdy German pioneers of Jefferson County. In 1848 they moved to Washington Township, Carroll County, where for many years he farmed in season and taught school in winter. Later on he moved to East Township. In December, 1875, after the death of county auditor John H. Shaw, the county commissioners, through the influence of James H. Chambers, the Quaker member, appointed Mr. Billman to fill the vacancy. Twice in succession he was elected to that important office. In after years he engaged in the grocery business. Mr. Billman was an inoffensive, mild mannered man, and never made any enemies. Being of a very genial disposition he enjoyed the greetings of all our citizens who were quick to salute the old veteran on account of his years. For several years past his friends and neighbors, together with band, assembled on the anniversary of his marriage to cheer him and his aged partner in their declining years. To his sorrowing companion the sympathy of all is freely extended.
