Kagey.-At his home in Mifflin twp., Ashland Co., O., August 8th, 1884, of paralysis, Martin Kagey, aged 82 years, 7 months and 24 days. Martin Kagey was born in Shenandoah Co., Virginia, December 14th, 1801. His parents, Christian and Catharine Kagey, were born and died in Virginia. His mother died only a few years ago at the advanced age of 96 years. He was the oldest of nine children, four of whom are yet living. He came to Ohio in 1825 to what was then Mifflin twp., Richland county, and located on his farm in 1827. But a small clearing of a few acres had then been made on the large and beautiful farm that he owned at the time of his death. On January 8th, 1829, he was married to Nancy Charles with whom he had eight children, named Mary, Anna, John, Christian, Samuel, Daniel W., Martin V. and Henry. He had 21 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. His wife died March 16th, 1869. Daniel W. died while yet a young man in the army at Tullahoma, Tenn., and Martin V. died only a few months ago at Ashland, O., in the prime and vigor of manhood. Mr. Kagey's life was marked by the strictest integrity and uprightness of heart. He was of a very kind and cheerful disposition, and of him it could be truthfully said that he had not an enemy in the world. He was never idle for a moment, for when not at work he was constantly reading, which was a great source of pleasure to him; especially did he delight in reading his Bible which has been his study for many years. He had the full possession of his mental faculties and was in full enjoyment of perfect health up to within two days of his death. His funeral on Sabbath was largely attended by relatives, friends and neighbors who held him in high esteem. The funeral services were conducted by M. L. Kunkelman assisted by Benj. Bally. A very appropriate sermon was preached from Job 14:10. "But man dieth and wasteth away; yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?"
"Asleep in Jesus; peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest,
No fear, no woe shall dim the hour
That manifests the Savior's power."
