Obituary.
In the early days of the last century Samuel and Abigail Woodmansee lived on the farm now owned by E. T.Woodmansee. There September 26, 1823, to them was born John Woodmansee. On that farm he grew to manhood. He afterward learned the blacksmith trade and spent several years in partnership with his brother George, manufacturing carriages and buggies in New Lexington. There by industry and frugality he saved enough money to purchase the farm on which he spent the remainder of his life. August 26, 1847, he was married to Susan M. Kelley. They lived happily together until November 17, 1877, when the messenger of death took her home. To them were born seven children, three of whom, Ephrain T., of Highland, Jesse, of Kansas and Clara Cox, of Highland, are still living. He was married to Emma E. Cadmy, of Highland, March 20, 1879. To this union were born three children. Burte who died in childhood, Clarence and Ethel, who with the bereaved mother, are left sad and lonely in the home. His family and home were very dear to him, and the most of his time was spent with them. There is where he will be missed the most. Two sisters, Mrs. Yeamens, of Dayton, and Mrs. James Powell, of New Vienna, and three brothers, George, of Highland, Silas, of Careytown, and Francis, of Ill., survive him. Wm. Woodmansee spent his life of 77 years, 6 months and 2 days in this community. As a neighbor, he was always ready to accommodate, as a business man he was true and honest. His funeral was held at the home, and his remains were followed to their last resting place in the New Lexington cemetery by a large number of friends and neighbors.
