Carlos Northrup Dies
After Long Illness

Carlos Northrup, II, lifelong res
ident of this vicinity, was claimed
by death Monday forenoon, May 29
at 10:30 o'clock, at the home of his
brother, Frank Northrup, in upper
Malta. He had been in failing health
five years, and the past several
weeks his condition was critical.
Death was due to heart trouble.
The deceased was a son of the
late Samuel and Eliza Greer Nor
thrup, members of pioneer families
of Bloom township. William Nor
thrup, grandfather of the deceased,
was born in England, and he and
the Martin family came to America
and took up the land on the north
river road which has been in the
Martin and Northrup families ever
since, the places joining. William
Northrup married Mary Martin. and
it was on what is known as the Mar
tin place. that the deceased resided
at the time his health failed. What
caused the Northrup and Martin
families to select the places they
did, is probably due to the fact thatt
after reaching the Muskingum river
they made raft, and in crossing, a
member of the Martin family was
drowned, and they established their
home near that place.
The deceased who was born Sept.
II, 1867, was never married. He
was good farmer, and good cit
izen, of quiet, unassuming nature.
He is survived by three brothers,
VIM. NJ Northrup of Marietta;
Frank Northrup Of Malta, and DR..
c. e. Northrup of this place. One
brother, Oscar Northrup, died four
years ago. After Mr. Northrup's
health failed, he went to make his
home with his brother in Malta,
where he since resided.
Funeral services, conducted by
Rev. L. S. Wees, were held We'd
nesday morning at 1O:3O o'clock, at
the Northrup home in Malta. Pail
bearers were Ethan, Howard, Lewis
and Albert Greer, and Lewis and
Fred Whitehouse Interment was
