Philip Rudig, for thirty years a resident of Dallas township, died on Sunday morning last, aged sixty-six years. He was buried at St. Paul's Church on Tuesday, a large concourse of his friends and neighbors attending the obsequies.
The tombstone gives his age as 67 years, 4 months, and 19 days, which would make his birth date 18 Dec 1808. His obituary gives his age as 66 years which means he was born about 1810. It is uncertain what his correct birth date was.
A daughter, Eliza age 5/12, was listed on the 1850 census but she was not listed on any census after that year and there are no other records of her.
