OLDEST CITIZENPASSES
Two months away from her ninety-eighth birthday anniversary, Mrs.Magdalene Cotterman, Hocking county's oldest citizen, passed away at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Abe Blum on West Hunter St., at 9:45 Monday evening from complications which naturally follow one of that age.
This unusually remarkable character had stood as a landmark tocitizens of both Hocking and Perry counties, where she was well known and respected.
Born in Bettsdorf, Alsace on March 9, 1828, she, with herparents, started the long voyage across the Atlantic at the age of seven years. After arriving in America, a second voyage across Lake Erie brought them to Ohio, where the home was made in the hills of Perry county, near where the old St. John's Lutheran Church now stands. The ocean trip and that across the else required almost six months.
Along with other members of her family, she was sent to Lebanon,where she received her education. She was a charter member of the st. John's Lutheran Church and was for ;years one of its most active members and loyal supporters.
Her union with Israel Cotterman resulted in the birth of eightchildren and all of these are left, with the exception of one son, who died in infancy. The surviving children are: Mrs. Sarah Biggs, who is seventy-two years old and lives in Windsor, Canada; Mrs. Emma Blum, Logan, Mrs. Mary Smith, Logan, R.F.D., Mrs Matilda Blum, Logan, Samuel Cotterman, Ceilna, Jacob Cotterman, Enterprise, Mrs. Etta Beougher, Lancaster.
Fifty-three years ago the family came to Hocking county and tookup their home on a farm in Laurel township. The husband died in 1906 and for five years after that the wife and a daughter made their home on the farm.
After coming to Logan the home was established with Mr. and Mrs.Abe Blum, although many happy days were spent with other members of her family.
Despite her extreme age, she had a remarkable possession of herfaculties and the story of her life was frequently unfolded for those who desired to listen.
Besides the seven surviving children she leaves 20 grandchildrenand 43 great grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at ten o'clock the (Thursday) morningat the Hunter St. Lutheran Church, with Rev. Lauer in charge. Burial was made in St. John's cemetery near Enterprise by the Harden Co.
