b 12 Dec 1814, Hopewell Twp, Fairfield (area later divided, named Perry), OH; s/o William and Esther (nee Mechling - 1st cousins) Mechling, mar 20 May 1841, Perry Co OH to Sarah From (1821-1862); known children: Reuben b 1842, Mahala 1843-1871, Emeline 1845-1858, Alva b 1847, Benjamin Franklin b 1849 and Amanda 1852-1927.
from the Rochester Sentinel, published Sept. 8, 1886
"Two weeks ago the Sentinel contained an account of the accidental discharge of a gun in the hands of Mr. Samuel MECHLING, of this city, which resulted in mangling his foot
considerably.
His wound healed rapidly and last Wednesday he was on the street greeting his friends, who, in return, were congratulating him on the prospects of his early recovery from the wound. On Wednesday night, however, blood poisoning set in and proved fatal on Saturday at 6 p.m.
Mr. Mechling was born in Perry county, Ohio, December 14, 1814, and was therefore 71 years 8 months and 23 days old at the time of his death. But two members of Mr. Mechling's
family survive him, viz: Mrs.Will[iam H.] [Amanda (MECHLING)] SHELTON, of this city and Mr. B. F. MECHLING, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Mechling was an honest, industrious and benevolent citizen, and always had a good word for his neighbors.
Mr. B. F. Mechling, of Cincinnati, is in the city. He was telegraphed to come to the bedside of his sick father, the late Samuel Mechling, but before he arrived the spirit of his old father had departed, and he was permitted to see him only as he lay wrapped in the icy arms of death. Mr. Mechling laments very much that his father was so suddenly called away as to make it impossible for him to see him once more before he died, but such is life, and mankind must accept it in all its phases."
