The Pomeroy Telegraph reports river traffic updates with the Coxzzier steamer, new boats, and real estate transfers in Meigs County. It covers court dispositions in Common Pleas, Breckinridge leads in Southwest returns, and Presbyterian Church notices including Rev. I. S. Twombly’s death and memorial resolutions.
An obituary from the Central Christian Herald notes the death of Reverend I. J. Twombly in this city after a long illness of liver and spleen troubles. Born in 1817 in Boston, he moved to Missouri with his father in youth, joined the West Ely Presbyterian Church, trained for ministry at Lane Seminary, and served in St. Charles, Troy, and Pomeroy. He preached with clarity and fervor, sustained by his church, and leaves a widow, two children, and an aged mother in Quincy. The piece praises his scholarship, earnest preaching, and devout service, and hopes his seeds will bear fruit.
A midwest newspaper item promotes Grower O Baker’s fifty dollar Seeing Machine for subscribers who recruit one hundred twenty new readers and send sixty dollars, with specimen copies offered free. Other ads tout Dr Richardson’s Sherry Wine Bitters and Weaver’s Cumber and Salt Rheumy Syrup as cures, while market notes cover groceries, grains, and meats with varied price moves.
