Josiah's obituary as taken from the Fairfield Tribune (March 29, 1923)
NOTE: There are some date discrepancies regarding Josiah's date of marriage. The original obituary states the date of marriage as December 17, 1855 (which is an obvious error). The Jefferson County records show the marriage license was issued December 15, 1866 but the entry, dated Feb. 5, 1867, states the marriage took place December 17, 1867. Since the entry date was February 1867 it appears the December 1867 is an error and should be December 17, 1866. There is also a question as to his age on the date of death. If he was born November 18, 1844 and died March 1923 he would have been a few months past his 78th birthday. The original obit lists his age as 76 yrs. 3 mos. and 3 days.
