Notes for ELIZABETH BELLE ENGLE:
Hively, Belle (Engle)
(Died 1911)
The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Belle Hively, of Thorncreek township, was sad news to the surviving children and numerous friends and acquaintances of that estimable woman. Since the death of her husband twenty-one years ago, she made her home on the farm and devoted herself to the rearing of the younger children and to the performance of such other dutiesas fell to her lot. She had been troubled for some time past with an affection of the heart, and about 9:20 Saturday morning was seized with a severe Neuralgic attack. Her daughter called the King family, who lived nearby to come to her assistance and they responded at once, but Mrs. Hively only lived a few minutes after Mrs. King reached the house, and it was perhaps more than thirty minutes from the time of her attack came upon her until she had passe away.
Dr. O.V. Schuman, of this city was called, but there was nothing he could do, as death had intervened some time before his arrival. The news of the death spread rapidly and many expressions of regret were heard over the passing of a noble woman and her children.
Mrs Hively fell down the cellarway at her home a little over a year agoand has never been very ill since that time. She had been having pains in her chest for several months off and on, and on Friday had several bad attacks but recovered from them. During the night she suffered considerably, but got up and bathed herself and then felt better. The attack saturday morning was the most severe she had experienced. Her daughter, Mrs. Hill assisted her to the couch and she remained there until the end. She was Conconscious all the time, and explained to those about her where the pains were. She asked to have her dress changed, and was raised to a sitting posture that this might be done. A moment later she asked to be laid down and only gasped a few times afterwards.
Mrs. Hively was the daughter of David Engle and was 69 years of age on the 15th of last May. She married Samuel Hively in her girlhood and to them a large family of children was born, seven boys and two girls surviving. The boys are: Wm. R., Lowell, Austin, Russell, and Ben of Thorncreek township, Edward of Alibion, and Arl of Wisconsin. The girls are Ella Appleton, of Thorncreek and Lizzie Hill who made her home with her mother. Linville Engle, of this city is the only surviving member of her family.
Her husbaand died twenty-one years ago last april, leaving the care of the children to the mother. In the discharge of this great responsibility she acquitted herself nobly, the sons and daughters being a credit to the communities in which they live. She was a member of the Christian church and was esteemed and respected by a large circle offriends and acquaintances.

Notes for DAVID ENGLE:
CIVIL WAR VETERAN PASSED AWAY AFTER BEING ILL SINCE LAST CHRISTMAS
David Engle, a well known civil war veteran, a Thorncreek pioneer, and known for nearly a score of years as engineer at Liggett's mill passed away at 7 o'clock Saturday morning at his home on West Vine street.
His health had been failing for a year of more and he had frequent sick spells, until last Christmas, since which time he was unable to continue his labors. He failed gradually, suffering from kidney and liver trouble, further complicated with heart disease. He was able to come to town to mingle with his old friends until about three weeks ago, since which time he was confined to his home and for most of the time, to his bed. He had a brave struggle for life, but was unable to keep up the battle any longer and died as he lived, never more afraid of the death angel than of the bullets that he had faced during his defense of his country.
He was rational until his last and his wife had left him for only a few moments to prepare a dose of medicine after having some conversation with him, and returned to find that he had answered the call of his maker.
The deceased was a son of John and Rachel Engle and was born October 1, 1843, in Thorncreek Township, being aged 63 years, 10 months and 16 days. He grew to manhood in Thorncreek Township, and on August 10, 1861, enlisted in Company K, 88th Regiment, serving until the close of the war. He was in the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 14th Corps, Army of the Cumberland, and passed safely through twenty-one battles.
Among the notable ones were Perysville, Kentucky, Chickamauga, Atlanta, Kenesaw Mountain and Peach Tree Creek. He was in Sherman's march to the sea and was wounded slightly at Chickamauga, also at Bentonville, South Carolina, where he was taken prisoner on field of battle. He was discharged on parole there and later rejoined his regiment receiving his final discharge June 1, 1865, at Washington D.C.
He returned to this county and on June 17, 1867, was united in mariage to Susan Keirn, of Thorncreek Township. Thier surviving children are John and Sam Engle and Mrs. Mattie Judd of Peru, Mrs. Lissie Knight of Radley, Grant county and Mrs. Bertha Hall of Goshen. One sister alone survives of the original family, Mrs. Margaret Haines, of Thorncreek Township.
Eighteen years ago the deceased moved to this city and was almost continously employed as engineer at the Liggett grist mill. He was a member of the George W. Stough Post 181, G.A.R. He was a hard working man all his life and a good citizen, respected by all who knew him. He was a neighbor in the fullest sense of the word and dealt with every man as he wished to be dealt by.
The grief of the bereft wife and children was most poignant and the sincerest sympathy is felt for them in their bereavement.
Notes for SUSAN KEIRN:
Mrs. David Engle, who was removed from her home on West Spencer street, this city three weeks ago to a hospital at Peru, where she received treatment for two weeks and was then taken to the home of her son, John Engle, passed away Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Mrs. Engle had been suffering for three years from cancer and gall stones and on the 5th of February she became qyite ill at her home in this city and her condition became so grave that her children thought best to remove her to a hospital in Peru where they could assist in caring for her. This was done but the results were not encouraging, and one week ago the attending physicians gave up all hope of her recovery, and she was taken to the home of her son. The remains will arrive in Columbia City Thursday eveningover the Vandalla road and be taken to the home on West Spencer street.
The funeral will occur Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the Methodist church, Rev. J. Thomas Bean officiating. Interment will be in the South Park Cemetery.
Susan Keirn was born in Whitley County March 16, 1849 and was 67 years and 13 days of age at the time of her death. She was a daughter of Turbet and Sarah Keirn, deceased, and spent her entire life in this county up to her last illness. When a young lady she was united in marriage to David Engle, who preceded her in death several years ago, and to this union six children were born, five of whom survive, one child having passed away in infancy. The children are John and Sam Engle and Mrs. George Judd, of Peru, Mrs. Elizabeth Knight, of Marion and Mrs. William Hall of Goshen. Besides the children she is survived by five brothers, Frank and Nathan Keirn of Thorncreek Township, J.W. Keirn of Major County Oklahoma, Sam Keirn, near Knox Ind., and Isaac Keirn of Richland Township; three sisters, Mrs. D. W. Nei, of Warsaw, Mrs. Rebecca Reeg, of Stark County Ind., and Mrs. Lyman Tannehill, of Honor Mich.

Mrs. Walter Hively, one of the well known young married women of Throncreek township, died at her home at 12:30 o'clock Saturday morning, death being due to pneumonia. She had only been sick since Thursday, but she became rapidly worse as the malady got a firmer hold upon her, and being an unusually strong, hearty young woman, was just the type that is most likely to die once they become afflicted with the dreaded ailment. Mr. Hively was taken sick first, but he is slightly better now and is able to be up and about the house.
The family moved to their present home about a month ago. They had been living on the Henry Snyder farm in Thorncreek township, near the West Point church, but Mr. Hively bought what is known as the old mill farm formerly owned by the late Frederick Magley on the shores of Round lake and he and his wife and babies had moved onto the place, happy in their anticipation of living and prospering there.
Blanche May Fisher was a daughter of George and Sophia Egolf Fisher, of Thorncreek township, and she was born May 31, 1895, being 24 years, 8 months and 12 days old at the time of her demise. There are two surviving children, Joy Evaline, aged 4 years, and George W., aged 1 year. They were married five years ago last Halloween. There are three brothers, Charles and Alton Fisher, of Thorncreek township, and Lewis Fisher, of this city and four sisters, Mrs. Bert Waugh, of Thorncreek township, Mrs. Heber Humbarger, of Decatur, and Josephine and Anna Fisher, at home, in Thorncreek township.
The deceased was a devout member of the Church of God, and she was a young woman who had many friends who mourn with the grief-stricken members of the family in this hour of their great loss.
The funeral services will be conducted from the Hively church in Thorncreek township, Monday morning at 11 o'clock, by Rev. Herendeen with interment in the Hively cemetery.

Notes for ELIZABETH BELLE ENGLE:
Hively, Belle (Engle)
(Died 1911)
The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Belle Hively, of Thorncreek township, was sad news to the surviving children and numerous friends and acquaintances of that estimable woman. Since the death of her husband twenty-one years ago, she made her home on the farm and devoted herself to the rearing of the younger children and to the performance of such other dutiesas fell to her lot. She had been troubled for some time past with an affection of the heart, and about 9:20 Saturday morning was seized with a severe Neuralgic attack. Her daughter called the King family, who lived nearby to come to her assistance and they responded at once, but Mrs. Hively only lived a few minutes after Mrs. King reached the house, and it was perhaps more than thirty minutes from the time of her attack came upon her until she had passe away.
Dr. O.V. Schuman, of this city was called, but there was nothing he could do, as death had intervened some time before his arrival. The news of the death spread rapidly and many expressions of regret were heard over the passing of a noble woman and her children.
Mrs Hively fell down the cellarway at her home a little over a year agoand has never been very ill since that time. She had been having pains in her chest for several months off and on, and on Friday had several bad attacks but recovered from them. During the night she suffered considerably, but got up and bathed herself and then felt better. The attack saturday morning was the most severe she had experienced. Her daughter, Mrs. Hill assisted her to the couch and she remained there until the end. She was Conconscious all the time, and explained to those about her where the pains were. She asked to have her dress changed, and was raised to a sitting posture that this might be done. A moment later she asked to be laid down and only gasped a few times afterwards.
Mrs. Hively was the daughter of David Engle and was 69 years of age on the 15th of last May. She married Samuel Hively in her girlhood and to them a large family of children was born, seven boys and two girls surviving. The boys are: Wm. R., Lowell, Austin, Russell, and Ben of Thorncreek township, Edward of Alibion, and Arl of Wisconsin. The girls are Ella Appleton, of Thorncreek and Lizzie Hill who made her home with her mother. Linville Engle, of this city is the only surviving member of her family.
Her husbaand died twenty-one years ago last april, leaving the care of the children to the mother. In the discharge of this great responsibility she acquitted herself nobly, the sons and daughters being a credit to the communities in which they live. She was a member of the Christian church and was esteemed and respected by a large circle offriends and acquaintances.

Notes for DAVID ENGLE:
CIVIL WAR VETERAN PASSED AWAY AFTER BEING ILL SINCE LAST CHRISTMAS
David Engle, a well known civil war veteran, a Thorncreek pioneer, and known for nearly a score of years as engineer at Liggett's mill passed away at 7 o'clock Saturday morning at his home on West Vine street.
His health had been failing for a year of more and he had frequent sick spells, until last Christmas, since which time he was unable to continue his labors. He failed gradually, suffering from kidney and liver trouble, further complicated with heart disease. He was able to come to town to mingle with his old friends until about three weeks ago, since which time he was confined to his home and for most of the time, to his bed. He had a brave struggle for life, but was unable to keep up the battle any longer and died as he lived, never more afraid of the death angel than of the bullets that he had faced during his defense of his country.
He was rational until his last and his wife had left him for only a few moments to prepare a dose of medicine after having some conversation with him, and returned to find that he had answered the call of his maker.
The deceased was a son of John and Rachel Engle and was born October 1, 1843, in Thorncreek Township, being aged 63 years, 10 months and 16 days. He grew to manhood in Thorncreek Township, and on August 10, 1861, enlisted in Company K, 88th Regiment, serving until the close of the war. He was in the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 14th Corps, Army of the Cumberland, and passed safely through twenty-one battles.
Among the notable ones were Perysville, Kentucky, Chickamauga, Atlanta, Kenesaw Mountain and Peach Tree Creek. He was in Sherman's march to the sea and was wounded slightly at Chickamauga, also at Bentonville, South Carolina, where he was taken prisoner on field of battle. He was discharged on parole there and later rejoined his regiment receiving his final discharge June 1, 1865, at Washington D.C.
He returned to this county and on June 17, 1867, was united in mariage to Susan Keirn, of Thorncreek Township. Thier surviving children are John and Sam Engle and Mrs. Mattie Judd of Peru, Mrs. Lissie Knight of Radley, Grant county and Mrs. Bertha Hall of Goshen. One sister alone survives of the original family, Mrs. Margaret Haines, of Thorncreek Township.
Eighteen years ago the deceased moved to this city and was almost continously employed as engineer at the Liggett grist mill. He was a member of the George W. Stough Post 181, G.A.R. He was a hard working man all his life and a good citizen, respected by all who knew him. He was a neighbor in the fullest sense of the word and dealt with every man as he wished to be dealt by.
The grief of the bereft wife and children was most poignant and the sincerest sympathy is felt for them in their bereavement.
Notes for SUSAN KEIRN:
Mrs. David Engle, who was removed from her home on West Spencer street, this city three weeks ago to a hospital at Peru, where she received treatment for two weeks and was then taken to the home of her son, John Engle, passed away Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Mrs. Engle had been suffering for three years from cancer and gall stones and on the 5th of February she became qyite ill at her home in this city and her condition became so grave that her children thought best to remove her to a hospital in Peru where they could assist in caring for her. This was done but the results were not encouraging, and one week ago the attending physicians gave up all hope of her recovery, and she was taken to the home of her son. The remains will arrive in Columbia City Thursday eveningover the Vandalla road and be taken to the home on West Spencer street.
The funeral will occur Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the Methodist church, Rev. J. Thomas Bean officiating. Interment will be in the South Park Cemetery.
Susan Keirn was born in Whitley County March 16, 1849 and was 67 years and 13 days of age at the time of her death. She was a daughter of Turbet and Sarah Keirn, deceased, and spent her entire life in this county up to her last illness. When a young lady she was united in marriage to David Engle, who preceded her in death several years ago, and to this union six children were born, five of whom survive, one child having passed away in infancy. The children are John and Sam Engle and Mrs. George Judd, of Peru, Mrs. Elizabeth Knight, of Marion and Mrs. William Hall of Goshen. Besides the children she is survived by five brothers, Frank and Nathan Keirn of Thorncreek Township, J.W. Keirn of Major County Oklahoma, Sam Keirn, near Knox Ind., and Isaac Keirn of Richland Township; three sisters, Mrs. D. W. Nei, of Warsaw, Mrs. Rebecca Reeg, of Stark County Ind., and Mrs. Lyman Tannehill, of Honor Mich.

Mr. Hively was taken sick first, but he is slightly better now and is able to be up and about the house.
The family moved to their present home about a month ago. They had been living on the Henry Snyder farm in Thorncreek township, near the West Point church, but Mr. Hively bought what is known as the old mill farm formerly owned by the late Frederick Magley on the shores of Round lake and he and his wife and babies had moved onto the place, happy in their anticipation of living and prospering there.
Blanche May Fisher was a daughter of George and Sophia Egolf Fisher, of Thorncreek township, and she was born May 31, 1895, being 24 years, 8 months and 12 days old at the time of her demise. There are two surviving children, Joy Evaline, aged 4 years, and George W., aged 1 year. They were married five years ago last Halloween. There are three brothers, Charles and Alton Fisher, of Thorncreek township, and Lewis Fisher, of this city and four sisters, Mrs. Bert Waugh, of Thorncreek township, Mrs. Heber Humbarger, of Decatur, and Josephine and Anna Fisher, at home, in Thorncreek township.
The deceased was a devout member of the Church of God, and she was a young woman who had many friends who mourn with the grief-stricken members of the family in this hour of their great loss.
The funeral services will be conducted from the Hively church in Thorncreek township, Monday morning at 11 o'clock, by Rev. Herendeen with interment in the Hively cemetery.
