Obit: "The community was saddened Thursday of last week when the death of Mrs. Joseph SAMPSEL, north of town, was learned, but rejoiced too, that she could be relieved of her suffering, as she had been afflicted with cancer the past six months. Miss Minerva HART and Joseph SAMPSEL were married over fifty years ago. She was born in Fairfield county, O., Dec. 18, 1843. Three daughters and one son are living, who are: J. C. SAMPSEL and Mrs. Ella McCARTER of Kokomo, Mrs. Rosa TRACY and Mrs. Minerva BOWERS of this place. There are three grandchildren. The funeral service was held in the Christian church here Saturday afternoon, where Rev. THORNTON preached a wonderful sermond, and well could he do so, for Mrs. Sampsel was certainly a splendid subject, as her many friends can testify to her faithful Christian life. Interment was made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery where the Rebekah Odd Fellows performed their rites as Mrs. Sampsel was a faithful member of the order."
