From Geneva Gazette 3 March 1871
Death of Samuel Westfall, Esq. of Phelps - Again we are admonished how sudden is the approach of the King of Terrors. Another citizen has been called to his final resting place. Friends have gathere d again to bid adieu to one of their number. Solemn, impressive, yet oh, how sure is death ! On Tuesday morning the 21st inst., Mr. Westfall arose, performed the usual work about the premises as he h ad been accustomed to do, and went out to his woodhouse to saw wood. He cut a few sticks and split the same, and commenced piling them, when suddenly he was noticed by his little grandchild who was p resent to fall over backwards. The child immediately ran into the house and told his grandmother and aunt that "his grandpa had fallen over backwards and could not get up." They proceeded at once t o the woodhouse and found him lying on the ground. They raised him up but he breathed but a few times and was dead. Mr. Westfall had not enjoyed good health for a number of years, yet his death at th e time was unlooked for. He lived to see a large family of children grow to man and womanhood, and but a few weeks since to see one of his daughters buried. He was a farmer by occupation, having inh erited a portion of his father's estate, which, when a young man he entered upon, and resided till the time of his death.
His father was summoned to the boundary line between this state and Canada as a militiaman in 1812, and in the skirmish at Kingston, Canada, lost his life. Mr. Westfall was thoroughly imbued with Dem ocratic principles, as was his father before him; and but few men in his position and standing were more intelligent, more ready to defend the faith that was in him.
As a neighbor he was respected, as a parent much revered, as a citizen and one of the pioneers of the town highly honored. His wife and several children survive him. His funeral was attended from hi s late residence on Friday, the 24th inst., by a large concourse of citizens and friends assembled on that beautiful springlike day to pay him the last tribute of respect and honor.

| Beschreibung | Diese Datenbank enthält Informationen zu tausenden Individuen und Familien, die sich im Laufe der Forschungen angesammelt haben. Die meisten Daten beziehen sich auf Nordhessen und hier wiederum der Schwerpunkt auf die Gegend südlich von Kassel bis hinunter zur Schwalm. Es finden sch aber auch zahlreiche amerikanische Familien darunter, da meine Vorfahren väterlicherseits aus den USA stammen. Diese Datenbank erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit oder Richtigkeit und sie wird immer wieder aktualisiert. Für Anregungen, Berichtigungen und Ergänzungen bin ich sehr dankbar! Bemerkungen: Berufsbezeichnungen habe ich vielfach abgekürzt, um die Eingabe und Abfrage zu erleichtern. Sollte es zu den Abkürzungen fragen geben, einfach nur nachfragen.
Datumsangaben, die mit "etwa" oder "ca." vermerkt sind, beziehen sich in den meisten Fällen auf errechnete Daten oder Taufen (falls kein Geburtsdatum vorhanden sein sollte).
