Mrs. Lucy Baughman died at her home in Oak Point, April 27th, 1896.
Mrs. Baughman, with her husband, David, was one of the earliest settlers of Johnson Township. She was born in Delaware County, Ohio, Sept. 16th, 1821. Her maiden name was Lucy Buck, and she was the second daughter of Andrew and Olive (Horr) Buck. She was married to Mr. Baughman, May 6, 1841, and a week or so afterward started in a two-horse wagon to seek a location in a new country and to build themselves a future home. After about two week's travel, they located on section 20 of this township, on the 16th day of June. A rough log cabin was soon built, which was little more than a shelter from the elements, into which they moved. It had no floor, except the bare earth, nor windows and as for a door, it was simply a hole cut through the logs and no plank shutters, the aperture being closed with a quilt or blanket. It was the time of year to put in a crop and until this was done everything not necessary was dispensed with. Later, plank was provided and both a floor and door and a few shelves were added to their primitive home. In this house they lived some ten or twelve years, when the present brick structure was built almost on the exact site of their first cabin.
Her husband, and two out of eight children, remain to mourn their loss. In early life she was a member of the M. E. Church in Ohio.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. G. H. Clymer of the Presbyterian church, in Casey, to a very large audience of friends and relatives who gathered at the old homestead to attend the funeral.
She bore her sickness which was of several months duration, with noble, Christian fortitude. The best medical skill was employed, but to no purpose as she was verging on three score and ten years and that is the allotted time of the human family. She will be greatly missed by her aged husband, who has been her constant companion for almost fifty-five years, and in the words of the divine that delivered the funeral oration, we hope "That their loss is her eternal gain."
