One of the county's aged and respected citizens turned his face to the wall Tuesday morning at 7:00 o'clock, when Joseph HARDING, 87, died at his home just north of Loyal, after a general breakdown lasting a little more than 10 days. The end was gradual and peaceful.
Mr. Harding had resided on the farm where he died for a period of about 45 years, coming there from Miami county. He was born in Buckingham, England in 1831 and came to this country when about 21 years of age, settling in Ohio, after traveling considerably.
In 1853. he married Mary E. VANKIRK, of Newart, Ohio, and to this union, seven children were born, two of whom, Edward [HARDING] and an infant, are dead. Those surviving are: Mrs. Lou ZOOK, Manchester, Tenn.; Mrs. Mason PERRY, Akron; Dr. G. W. HARDING, Warsaw; Mrs. Oscar TILDEN, near Portland, Ore.; and Mrs. Milton H. POFFENBERGER, near Loyal.
Mr. Harding married again, after his first wife died, and after the second wife passed away, wedded Mrs. Eliza EMMONS, of Rochester, 13 years ago this month. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and spent practically all of his life on a farm. A brother died in this country two years ago and a sister in England, several years ago. There are no other relatives.
Funeral at 11:00 a.m. Thursday from the home. No flowers.
