The Atchison Daily Champion, Friday, 24 February 1882, page 3
DIED
At Lancaster, February 17th, Oliver Nettleton.
The deceased was born in Rochester, N. Y., April 25, 1910, but removed to Geawga [sp]county, Ohio, in 1835, and went to work in the wilderness. He bought a piece of land, built a log cabin, and commenced life as a farmer. January 5, 1836, he was married to Tryphosa Haskins, her father being one of the first settlers in that county.
In this log cabin a family of four children were born, two of whom died in their infancy. Prosperity seemed to be his lot, and he added more land to his home, and about the year 1853 erected a house of convenient size, and a few years later a large barn and other buildings, all of which he built himself.
Here, in the old home never to be forgotten, were raised a family of two sons and three daughters, all of whom are still living near the old home except the youngest of the family, T. C. Nettleton, who emigrated with his father to Kansas about the year 1877, and located on a quarter section of land near Lancaster. There the deceased was living at the time of his death.
Father Nettleton has been a member of the Christian Church from his early boyhood up to the time of his death. He was highly esteemed among his friends and neighbors, who deeply mourn his departure. Although death came to him without a moment's warning, it found him ready.
