Venango Citizen Press Obituary published Sept 30, 1914
John H. Stoughton, aged 69 years, died suddenly Friday evening at the home of his son, William R. Stoughton, 1119 ½ Otter Street, from the effects of apoplexy. He had a stroke a year ago and on Labor Day he suffered a stroke and the family was aware that there was danger from a second attack.
He had spent an hour or so Friday afternoon in E.S. Fenner's cigar store opposite the Galena Signal building, and shortly before 5 o'clock said he had not been feeling well. Before going home he stopped in Shiner's barber shop and got a drink of water. Mrs. William R. Stoughton is a patient in Miss Davis's Home at Rocky Grove and there was no person at home when Mr. Stoughton arrived. A few minutes after he had been there, Mrs. Hiram Brown, living next door, heard violent coughing and when she went to Mr. Stoughton's aid, he was not able to talk clearly. She sent for Drs. T.A. Irwin and S.G. Foster, but the old gentleman died in spite of all that could be done for him.
Mr. Stoughton was born in Lawrence County and had been a resident of Franklin for forty-five years. He served during the Civil War as a member of Company K, 193rd Pennsylvania Regiment, of which J.B. Morhead, of this city was also a member. Mrs. Stoughton died about ten years ago. He leaves two sons – Frank E. of Oklahoma, and William R. of this city. One brother W.R. of Pittsburgh also survives. The deceased was a member of Mays Post, No. 220 G.A.R., the First Baptist church and the Miller Bible Class.
