When the sad news gained circulation Wednesday evening and this morning that Darius AULT had suddenly passed away at his home on West Eighth street Wednesday evening there was general sorrow expressed at the departure of this well known and highly popular citizen and comrade.The suddenness of his death may be realized when it is known that Mr. Ault was enjoying his usual health Wednesday and in fact up to the very moment when he was stricken with what is believed to have been an attack of heart trouble. Mr. & Mrs. Ault were seated at their home and were discussing the advisability of retiring when Mr. Ault remarked that he was suffering such an unusual pain in his breast. Mrs. Ault noted that he was rapidly becoming worse and ran to the home of A. H. SKINNER, next door, to phone for a physician. When she returned Mr. Ault did not recognize her and passed away shortly after the arrival of the physician.
Darius Ault was born in Rochester, May 29, 1846, and now is the last of a family of eighteen children, of which he was the youngest. His boyhood days were spent in the vicinity of Rochester and when the Civil war broke out he was at once anxious to join the fray. However, his tender age and small stature were against him and he was turned down. However, he was not to be put aside and on September 7, 1861, he joined the 29th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry at LaPorte. He enlisted as a drummer boy and served in that capacity until he was discharged at Nashville, Tennessee, February 10, 1863, on account of disability of throat and lungs. He took part in the battles of Shiloh, Corinth and Stone River, of which the former was the most important. His intimate friends during service were Isom R. NEW, Andrew C. SHEPHERD, Jeremiah SMITH and Perry SHOEMAKER, of whom the latter two are dead.
After his discharge he came home and in February, 1863, he was united in marriage with Miss Emma ORR of this city. To this union one daughter, Miss Nellie AULT, of Cleveland, Ohio, survives with the wife and mother and both have the profound sympathy of their relatives and a wide circle of personal friends.
"Jud" AULT as he was known by everyone in this city and many of the surrounding towns was one of the jolliest citizens the city afforded and was always ready with a cheerful word for all. He was beloved by all as an honorable and upright citizen and the boyishness of his good natured remarks and his stature were hid in more serious moments by the thoughts of a really big man. As a lover of home, nature and comrades he was a model of contentment and when he was not whiling the time away at his home he was either with the soldier boys in the court house or if it be in summer he was to be found at the lake, where he spent many hours in his favorite fishing spots. "Jud" Ault was a noble comrade and a man, and is one that will be sorely missed from his usual haunts for many a day to come.
The funeral arrangements have not been announced.
