    • Drowned on the leg of west span of trestle, known as Richey bridge about 1 mile east of Cameron on October 22, 1890

      Discharged: August 4th, 1863 by reason of Expinatin of service

      Newspaper article Thurs., 10/30/1890

      A body was found in the creek below Cameron, last Sunday, and the Coroner summoned. The body was identified as John Hout, who had been missing several days, and search was being made for him by his friends. He had been somewhat out of his mind lately and had probably wandered off and was drowned by accident. John was well known by the people of this county as a harmless, good fellow, but drink was his great enemy and caused his ruin. He was for several years an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Erie.

      Obituary, 10/30/1890

      John Hout, an old soldier, was followed to the grave by a good delegation of Grand Army men and a large number of other citizens last Tuesday, and placed in an honored grave by a patriotic people who only remember the patriotic services of poor Hout in the time of our Nation's peril, and the same patriotism of a grateful people has provided a tombstone to his memory.

      Died on the leg of west span trestle, known as Richey Bridge about 1 mile east of Cameron on Oct. 22, 1890.

      Discharged: August 4, 1863 by reason of expiration of service.

      JOSEPH BISSIG MEETS INSTANT DEATH.
      Last Friday morning, about four o’clock, at track-walker found the mangled remains of Joseph Bissig, age 62 years, on the tract opposite Chestnut street, his body having been dragged from Cherry street. About mid-night he went into Hayes’ livery stable, where a large number of lumbermen had congregated, preparing to leave for “Fiddlers Green” Lumbering camp, and complained of being cold. He remained there until about three o’clock, when he left the barn, supposedly to cross the railroad to the furnace, when no doubt he was stuck by the freight, east bound, that passed Emporium at 4:14 a.m. Esquire Larrabee, acting as Coroner, was called and summoned a jury, composed of Frank Mundy, Asa Murray, Albert Johnson, Geo. Welsh, C.A. Ruberto, and Peter Ferguson, who viewed the remains and adjourned to meet Friday afternoon, which they did and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The remains of the unfortunate man were taken to B. Egan’s undertaking rooms and prepared for burial which took place from St. Mark’s Catholic Church, Sunday afternoon, the remains having previously been conveyed to the family residence, West Allegany Avenue Extension, where scores of friends called to view the remains of the kind-hearted friend.
      Deceased leaves a wife, and two brothers - one, Anthony, who resides on Plank Road Hollow and an invalid brother at Austin; also several step-sons and daughters, his wife’s first husband having been John Hout.
      The following relatives from out of town attended the funeral: Tony Bissig, Jr., Buffalo; Mrs. Michael Welsh and sister, Austin; Michael Sprangler, Jr., Mrs. Michael Spangler, Mrs. Jos. Emmert, Geo. Emmert, John Eber, Kersey, Pa.
      The services in the church were very largely attended.
      Peace to his soul.
