Charlotte Blakeman
Obituary in the paper and it reads:
Beloved mother and friend, Charlotte Gillenwater was born on the 11 day of March, 1826 and in early youth came
to Scioto county, O, from West Va. with Moses and Elizabeth Blakeman, her parents and was reared a Christain from early childhood.
She was married to James Gillenwater who died June 5, 1875. She has shown her reverence and loyalty to her deceased husband by hard
toil and sincerity and remained an honorable soldier's widow, a mother to many an orphan, a friend to many an outcast and
was ever trying to do good and help those in trouble. When quite young she became a member of the Baptist church and succeeded in
living a Christian through all disappointments of life holding on to the cross and saying "give me Jesus and you may take all the
world from me." During her last illness she wrote her daughter, Mary a letter bidding her and all farewell, saying she was going to
die and telling her how she longed to meet them all in the land of rest. In all of her illness she was never heard to murmer but
would gently say, she longed to go where there is no suffering. Calm and sweetly-her last moments were spent. In the deep shadows of
a summer evening, July 30, her spirit burst its earthly prison and took flight heavenward, leaving behind the weeping and
wailing of those who mourned her loss. Mourning the mother are five children, three girls Mary, Hannah and Jane and two boys, William
and James M. including her two brothers' James and Andrew and two sisters Malinda and Elizabeth and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Hiram Blakeman, Sustains Injuries Which Result in Death Last Thursday at Piketon.
Hiram Blakeman 65, of Piketon, sustained injuries, which resulted in his
death last Thursday morning about 11:00 o'clock, when the ditch in which he
was working at Piketon caved in on him. His nephew, James Blakeman, working
on top of the ditch, saw the bank start to cave and cried out a warning.
Blakeman raised his head at the alarm, just in time to catch the full force
of several tons of moving earth squarely on his head. He was buried from
sight. A rescue party worked feverishly to extricate Blakeman and succeeded
in uncovering the body within ten minutes. The man was alive and breathing
at the time, but despite frantic efforts on the part of rescuers and Dr. I.
P. Seller and Dr. C. J. Penn, died ten minutes afterward.
The ditch in which the unfortunate man was working, was part of the new
drainage system recently authorized by the Piketon village council, and
Blakeman was employed by the village at the time. His nephew, James, also
employed on the job, was stretching a grade line on top of the bank when the
accident occurred. At the point where the cave-in occurred, the ditch was
about eight feet deep.
Blakeman's nephew headed the rescue gang, composed of Clyde Baker, Cleve
Blakeman, Edward Allen, Theo. Taylor and Alfred Newton.
The dead man is survived by his wife, one son, Herman of Chillicothe; two
daughters, Mrs. Raymond Lee and Mrs. John Farmer of Piketon.
Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ in Piketon, Sunday
afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, and burial made at the Mound cemetery. Rev. J.
W. Sylvester, pastor of the church, officiated.
