Mrs. Eliza A.
McCammon
Hopewell and
Neighborhood
Mrs. Eliza A. McCammon, one of the most estimable ladies of
this community, wife of Z. McCammon, died September 4. in the
61st year of her age. Her life was one of Christian zeal and
benevolence. The character of Christ was her delight. Her
faith in immortality had something of the clearness of vision,
and when the messenger came she was ready to go, and having
her work completely done she sweetly passed into the spirit
world. A husband, four sons and one daughter survive her.
One son, G. W. McCammon is a member of the Legislature in
Kansas and another, a graduate of the Ohio Wesleyan
University.
The funeral was held at Asbury Chapel at 10 o'clock Tuesday
the 8th.

Unfortunate young Tucker
Shiplett Dies after Two Weeks of Great Agony
A few days ago, the ADVOCATE published an account of
Mr. J.S. Shiplett or "Tuck" Shiplett, as he was
familiarly called by his friends, accidentally shooting himself while out
hunting.
It was first hoped that the unfortunate young man might recover, but, from the
following which we clip from the Zanesville SIGNAL of Friday, it appeared the
sad accident had a fatal ending.
Mr. Shiplett lived just over the Licking county line and he has many relatives
and friends in this county who will be deeply pained to hear of
his death: died 13 Dec. 1888

Rev. White McCammon
Rev. B. F. Jackson yesterday
received a telegram conveying the sad intelligence of the death of Rev. White
McCammon, which occured at Maple Wood, Mass., yesterday morning. Nothing has
been known by his relatives and friends of his sickness, and the announcement of
his sudden death will be a severe blow to his aged father and his brothers and
sisters. The remains will arrive in this city over the B. & O. Ry. this
afternoon, and will probably be taken to Asbury chapel in Hopewell township for
interment.
Rev. White McCammon was a son of Zachariah McCammon, until who recently made his
home in Hopewell Township. He was one of the early settlers in that locality,
and began in poverty at the blacksmith anvil. He was honest, upright and
industrious, and after long years of hard work accumulated considerable wealth.
In after years he turned to his attention to farming. He had several sons, and
feeling the lack of education himself put forth every effort to give his
children the advantages of a thorough education. When his son White was quite a
young man, he started him to school at Madison Academy in Mt. Perry, at that
time a flourishing institution under the management of Rev. James White, now of
Arkansas City. Here he remained three years completing the academic course. He
then taught school for two or three years, and subsequently entered Ohio
Wesleyan University at Delaware. He was a close student during the four years he
spent at this institution, and enjoyed the esteem of both professors and
students. He was considered among those quick to learn, but at the end of his
collegiate course his perseverance had placed him in advance of many of his
classmates who had out shown him in the class room.
He graduated in 1885, and then began to prepare himself for his life's work,
the ministry. He entered the Boston school of theology of the Methodist Episcopal
church and driving his course at this institution he was noted for his studious
habits, and the thoroughness with which he did his work He also regularly
conducted service at the many mission churches established by this denomination
in the suburban districts of Boston. On completing his course in Theology he
determined to devote a year to travel and delivering lectures. He chose for his
subject "American Poets, " and devoted a year to the preparation of his lecture.
He visited the poets of fame, met them in their studies and learned their home
life.. How well he did his work is known to those who heard him deliver his
lecture last spring in Gold hall. He appeared before institutes and colleges
both east and west, and received the most favorable comments of the press
everywhere he lectured.. He completed this work only
a short time since and in April joined the New England conference of the M E.
church and was located in maple Wood a suburb of Boston. He was thoroughly
educated, a good speaker, and had the brightest prospects of a life of
usefulness.

Despondency Over Ill Health
Leads to Suicide of

the old farm, which had for 99 years been the home of the Hughes and Shiplett
families. His widow soon sold the farm and the house was destroyed by fire.

SHIPLETT RITES WILL BE
TUESDAY AT MT. STERLING
Funeral services for Welcome M.
Shiplett, 56, who ended his life by hanging himself in a wagon shed at his home
two miles south of Mt. Sterling, Saturday afternoon will be held at 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon at Mt. Sterling M. E. Church. Burial will be made in the
church cemetery. Ill health following an attack of influenza, suffered during
the winter is believed to have made Shiplett despondent, although he appeared in
fairly jovial spirits Saturday morning.
He had driven his team of horses into the shed for shelter from the heavy shower
of the afternoon. The body was found with the neck broken lying on the floor of
the shed near the horse's feet, a strap looped through a buckle and the noose
around his neck. Relatives said it appeared as that Shiplett had been sitting on
the horse and looping the loose end of the strap over the beam, had slid from
the horse, holding to the strap in such a manner that his neck was broken.
Beverly Shiplett, 10 year old daughter of the deceased, found the body as she
was calling him to the evening meal. She gave alarm and neighbors rushed to the
aid of the grief stricken widow and children.
The deceased was a member of the Mt.
Sterling M. E. church and the I. O. O.F. lodge of Mt. Sterling. Surviving are
the widow and five children: Leroy, Beverly, Marjorie, Nellie and Kathryn at
home; one brother, Edward Shiplett of White Cottage; Mrs. Nellie Van Allen of

A. Fay, Seattle Wash.; Mrs. Axie Hall, Belvidere, Ill.; Mrs. Edward Morton,
