Isaac Hootman, of the north bend of Wills Creek, died of Bright's disease of the kidneys on Saturday morning, Sept. 17, at his home. He was in his 75th year of age, was born in Oxford township (parents - Henry Hootman and Eleanor Farmer), but reared in Linton township, lived and died there.
He was one of the most active men in the township in the days of his youth. He could turn a somersault and was hard to beat at a foot race or a "hop, step and jump" on level ground; which were the favorite sports of the boys in his days. He was a well-to-do farmer, a good neighbor, and, I believe, a kind father and an honest man. He was not a member of any church; but professed faith in God, and a resurrection of the dead, and received the ordinance of baptism from the hand of Rev. John Baker, who visited him several times in his last sickness.
He leaves a wife, Sophronia, and several sons and daughters, all grown to manhood and womanhood and married. (Isaac and Sophronia were the parents of Jacob, Lydia, Ebert, Henry, Ruhama, Eliza, Seth, Mandy, Sarah, Saffronia, James, Dora, Thomas, and George Hootman)
His funeral took place in the M.P. church in Plainfield, on Sunday the 18th, at 12 o'clock, m. Rev. John Baker officiating, after which he was buried in the Plainfield cemetery. I have seen few, if any, as large a crowd of people to attend a funeral at this place as were out at his funeral.
