Death of Major Hoskinson.
Lemuel L. Hoskinson was born in Licking county, Ohio, June 7, 1821, and died in Warren Indiana, February
24, 1888, aged 66 years, 8 months and 17 days. His father died at New Corydon, Blackford county, Indiana,
in January, 1848. His mother died in Dayton, Ohio, in 1864.
The deceased responded to his country's first call for volunteers while at Columbus, Ohio, in 1861, by enlisting
in the Third Ohio Regiment for three months. At the expiration of this service he immediately joined the army
again and served through the balance of the war. The regiment to which he held, and as his discharge papers,
except for his three mouth's service, were destroyed by fire in Cincinnati, there are no data at hand by which to
determine his standing. It is understood, however, that he was a commissioned officer and ranked as major when
finally discharged.
At the close of the war he came to Bluffton, Ind., and began business as a merchant tailor. While in Bluffton he
was married to Miss Sibbie Phillips, January 19th 1868, she being his second wife. After this he changed his
place of residence quite often, living in Winchester, this State, thence to Lincoln, Pana and Mount Vernon, III.,
Montezuma, Iowa, Logansport, Indiana, back to Buffton, and thence to a farm in Franklin county, Mo. From this
last place he removed to Dayton, Ohio, where he lived three years, and then came to Warren three years ago last
December, and remained here following his trade until death suddenly brought his life to a close.
He had been complaining of feeling badly for about three weeks, and a few days before his death had a premonition
of his approaching end. This impressed him so much that he told it to a few of his intimate friends, and emphasized the
statement with a gesture of his hand that in three weeks he would not be living. On the day of his death he was feeling
worse than usual and lay upon the lounge in his work shop. Between three and four o'clock a customer called and tried
on a suit of clothes. Mr. Hoskinson got up and examined them and found them to be all right. The customer went out to
get some change and while Mr. Hoskinson was sitting in the chair waiting for him to return he remarked that he felt
quite sick and laid down upon the lounge again. He was immediately attacked with vomiting and while his wife was
holding his head the cold sweat ran off his forehead. On laying him back he requested her not to leave, him and in a few
moments more his spirit had fled.
He was a member of Monroe Laymon Post G. A. R., and of the Knights of Labor Assembly at this place. He was
a man of much more than ordinary ability, was ready in debate and a good public speaker.
A wife and two children (son and little daughter) besides four daughters and three sons by his first wife, are
living, together with a number of brothers and sisters in different parts of the country.
