Gilbert, George -- Friday. George Gilbert, aged 25, son of Henry Gilbert, of Loudonville, went to Chicago last Saturday to clerk in a grocery store. Yesterday a telegram was received by his father announcing his sudden death from pneumonia. He was one of Loudonville's respected young men and a member of the K.P. lodge of that place. There is an under-current of suspicion that young Gilbert did not come to his death from natural causes. He had obtained a license some time ago to marry a Miss Rowland, who lives at his father's home. His parents objected and their opposition preyed heavily upon him. His death so soon after his departure from home is both startling and strange. Submitted by Amy. [Richland Shield & Banner: 12 January 1895, Vol. LXXVII, No. 35]

Gladden, Roy- Roy Gladden, who had been stopping in this city [Mansfield] for some time, was found dead in a barn near Perrysville Wednesday morning with a gaping wound in his throat. Marshal Conrad of Loudonville, who arrested Daniel Oliver several days ago for complicity in the Garret robbery, was a witness Tuesday afternoon at the preliminary hearing in 'Squire Smith's court. He swore that Roy Gladden had told him that he (Gladden) knew Oliver was guilty because he (Gladden) and Oliver were in the gang the night the robbery was committed. This caused some surprise and J.P. Seward, attorney for the defense asked Marshal Conrad why he had not arrested Gladden. Conrad said it was not "ripe" yet. It was the general supposition that Gladden would be arrested at once or be held as the prosecuting witness. But he will not be arrested. He is before a higher court and the icy fingers of man's laws cannot touch him. Whether he was really with the Oliver gang will probably never be known, although it is true that he was a frequent visitor at the home of Abram Snyder, who married into the Oliver family. Those who know Roy Gladden will not believe that he was guilty of anything of that kind. He was generous to a fault, open-hearted and disposed to take everything easily and coolly. Roy Gladden stopped at the Mansfield House on North Main Street, this city [Mansfield], over a week and was in this city up until last Monday morning. It is understood that he was a candidate for the position of guard at the Ohio Reformatory. He was at Perrysville Monday. Monday night and up to 10 a.m. Tuesday he was at the home of Oscar Snyder, a brother-in-law, three miles northeast of Perrysville. He left there at 10 a.m. Tuesday and did not return until early in the morning. He soon after went to the barn and was not seen again until found Wednesday morning, lying on a pile of hay, dead. His throat was cut on the left side and the razor with which he did the deed was found in his vest pocket. He had evidently used the razor to cut his throat and had then put it in the case, which he returned to his pocket. The blood stains were upon the blade. The coroner inspected the body, but has not yet held an inquest. His body lies at the home of Oscar Snyder and will probably be buried at Perrysville. L.P. Gladden, the deceased, has had an eventful history. He was worth six or eight years ago $15,000 and lived in a handsome residence on a fine farm near Perrysville. He speculated and lost money and his farm was finally sold at sheriff's sale. He served three years as constable of Green Twp., Ashland County, and was a good officer. He had a natural fondness for such a pursuit and was rather on the detective order, which probably accounts for the story which he told Marshal Conrad. He became estranged from his wife some time ago and this, in connection with his financial troubles, probably weakened his mind and caused him to be insane at times. It was no doubt during one of those periods that he took his life. He leaves a wife and five children. Gladden was penniless and had no home. He was discouraged and tired of life. A brother of the deceased, Joseph Gladden, committed suicide in Indiana several years ago. It is a touching fact that Gladden after living apart from his wife, sought the place where his wife was residing to take his life. The deceased, Tuesday, left a letter at Perrysville for Marshal Conrad saying that he would come to Mansfield Tuesday night on No. 3, arriving here at 7:53 p.m. Letters were found on his person this morning addressed to Marshal Conrad and the wife of the deceased.RICHLAND SHIELD & BANNER (Mansfield, Richland Co., Ohio): 16 May 1896, Vol. LXXVIII, No. 53 Submitted by Amy

Goard, William - DIED -- At his residence in Vermillion Twp., September 6, 1879, William Goard, aged 64 years, 11 months and 22 days. William Goard was born in Cumberland County, Pa. in the year 1814. In the year 1834 he with his parents and older sister removed to Wayne County, Ohio. In the year 1839 he was united in marriage to Miss Hannah Brubaker, with whom he lived up to the time of his death. In the year 1854 he removed to Vermillion Township, Ashland County, where he resided until he died. He was the father of ten children, six boys and four girls, all of whom live at the present time, and are all married, save two. The names and residence of the children are as follows: Mary C. married Archibald Finley, and lives near Ashland; Margaret A. married Samuel Kurtz, lives near Ashland; Elizabeth J. married Martin Hess and lives near Ashland; John, Joseph, William and Shannon are all married and reside in Montgomery Township. Elza is married and resides at the old homestead; Permelia H. and Charles are living with their mother at the old homestead. Although Mr. Goard never belonged to any particular creed, yet we think he was a moral man, and conformed to rules of right rather than wrong. We think of the remarks of a neighbor who knew him for the past twenty-five years, "that he never heard him use a profane word or have the ill will of any of his neighbors" which was truly moral. His sufferings, for some months prior to his final departure were intense, but he bore them with Christian courage, and waited with patience for the call of the Divine Master to call him home. His remains were followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends to their last resting place in the Dickey Cemetery. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Kilheffner of the Dunkard Church. William Goard HAYESVILLE JOURNAL: 11 September 1879, Vol. 5, No. 11 - Submitted by Amy

Gribben, Catharine (Aten) – Mrs. Catharine Gribben, of Clear Creek Twp., died Monday night at the residence of her son, George W. Gribben, aged 86 years, 7 months and 14 days. A more thorough obituary for Mrs. Gribben appeared in the following week's paper, dated 09 September 1880 (Vol. XXXV, No. 8), as follows:DIED -- After an illness of only two days at her home in Clear Creek Twp., August 31st., 1880, Mrs. Catharine Gribben, aged 86 years, 7 months and 16 days. Mrs. Gribben, whose maiden name was Catharine Aten, was born in the State of New Jersey, November 14, 1793. When about five years old emigrated with her parents to Alleghany County, Pennsylvania, and was married to James Gribben, June 4th., 1818. They emigrated with their four children to Montgomery Township, Ashland County, in December, 1825, and April 13th., 1826, removed to the farm where she died, having resided there over fifty-four years. She survived her husband almost fifteen years, he having died September 29th., 1865, aged 73 years and 7 months. She was the mother of eight children: Mary, Richard A., John, William, Nancy, James C., George W., and Margaret, all of whom are living, except James, who was killed in the battle of Pittsburgh Landing, and three, Margaret, George and Richard, were permitted to be with her during her sickness and death. Coming here at such an early period she of course experienced all the privations and hardships incident to pioneer life. She loved to talk of those days, when for miles around the country was a wilderness, and of the gradual changes which has made it what it is. She retained her mental faculties to the last and could converse intelligently until a few hours before death, when her strength failed. She had been infirm in body for several years and for more than a year had been confined to her bed and required a great deal of attention, yet she bore her afflictions patiently without murmuring, saying, "it is all well". She was always cheerful and ever mindful of those around here; it was indeed a pleasure to wait upon her, and now we miss her all the more because of those privileges which had drawn her so much closer to us. She was a kind mother and a too indulgent grandmother. She felt that her work here on earth was finished and longed to be at rest with Jesus, where she prayed she might meet all her friends.ASHLAND PRESS: 02 September 1880, Vol. XXXV, No. 7 Submitted by Amy
