Death of Capt. Amos Ripley
Another of the old inhabitants of Gallia County passed away on Friday last. Capt. Amos Ripley died at his home near Patriot, at the advanced age of eighty-six years. He had been sick for several months past, but was able to be about his residence and grounds until a few weeks since. Capt. Ripley had command of Co. F, 141st Regiment O.N.G., during its service in the Rebellion, and although past sixty years of age, did good service. In 1871 he was elected Sheriff of Gallia County, which office he filled with credit for two terms. The funeral was held on Saturday last, the Masonic Lodges of Patriot and Centerville assisting in the services. Seven children, four boys and three girls, survive him. Capt. Ripley's death will be severely felt by his many relatives and friends.
[Note: He is buried in Ripley Cemetery in Perry Township and the dates on his stone are January 8, 1803-August 23, 1888.]
