         Sudden Death of THOMAS USELMAN at Rosevillle
         
         MR. THOMAS USELMAN, one of Parke county's pioneers, died
       very suddenly, last Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, from heart
       disease. He was enjoying the best of health, and exceedingly
       lively for one of his age, when the angel of Death placed a
       hand in his and carried his spirit to the realms above. While
       sitting in the yard talking and laughing with his wife, and
       Mr. WM. NEWCOMB, his son-in-law, he fell forward to the ground,
       and before either could reach him, life had departed. MR.
       USELMAN was one of the first settlers of Parke county; having
       resided in this county for 51 years. He was born at Circle-
       ville, Ohio, in 1811, and in 1835 he left the home of his
       birth, and walked to Parke county, where he has since resided.
       He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his sudden death.
       He was respected and honored by all who knew him, for his
       uprightness toward his fellow man, always being ready and
       willing to help a friend or neighbor, when assistance was
       required. His name will long be remembered by his numerous
       friends and relatives. The funeral took place Monday at
       3 o'clock p.m. at his late home in Roseville.
