Edward ALSPACH, 78, died suddenly Saturday morning at 6:30 at his residence on south Monroe street, as the result of an attack of apoplexy. He got up about six o'clock and started the kitchen fire and then telling his wife that he would take a short nap he went back to bed. Mrs. Alspach got up a few minutes later and after preparing breakfast, called her husband. When he did not respond, she attempted to awaken him, discovering that he had passed away without a struggle or sound.
Edward Alspach was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, August 7, 1838. When 16 years of age, he moved to Fulton county with his parents. Mr. Alspach lived for years on a farm east of Rochester, the place that is now occupied by his son, Calder ALSPACH. Mr. Alspach was married twice, the mother of his two children passing away a number of years ago. About 14 years ago, he married again, Mrs. Susan ALSPACH surviving.
He leaves the following brothers and sisters: Sylvester [ALSPACH] and Ezra ALSPACH of this city, Mrs. Susan BLACKBURN of near Rochester, Mrs. Louisa MILLER of Macy and Mrs. Samuel MILLER of Nebraska. Altho he was seriously handicapped in later years by reason of poor hearing, Mr. Alspach was always congenial and pleasant. He was greatly liked by everyone, young and old. Edward Alspach was initiated in Rochester Lodge No. 47, I.O.O.F. July 13, 1864, and was the oldest living member of the local order. He held continuous membership for more than 52 years. He was also a member of Mt. Horeb No. 24 since July 5, 1869, or for more than 47 years. Several years ago the order presented the oldest member with a gold headed cane and at that time it was given to Isaac GOOD, and at his death the cane was given to Jonas MYERS, and then to Mr. Alspach. It will now be given to Henry P. MOWE, who was initiated June 20, 1868.
Funeral Monday afternoon at two o'clock at the house, Rev. S. A. WARRINER in charge.
