Thornton, son of William J. and Nancy Duval Thornton, was born in Morgan County, Ohio, July 21, 1841, and passed away May 7, 1930 aged 88 years, 9 months and 16 days. When he was 20 years of age the great Civil War came on, and he enlisted in Company I, 118th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and gave almost three and a half years in the service of his country. In 1867 he was united in marriage to Mariah Pennel. To this union were born five boys and two girls, Lewis, Clark and John, all of Walnut township, Elmer of Rocky Hill, Sarah Ellen of Columbus, Colfax and Mary having preceded him in death. His wife departed this life in 1895. He was again united in marriage to Romaine Chron, and to them was born a daughter Ada at home. Ada's mother died in 1908, and from that time, although a small girl, the cares of the home and family have largely fallen upon her and she has done her part nobly and well. Mr. Thornton was a member of the United Brethren church and for many years a faithful attendant. Being of a cheerful disposition, he made many friends who still long remember his pleasant smile. Although his last years were filled with almost continual suffering, he did not complain, but often expressed his faith in God and his readiness to leave this world. About 80 years of his life was spent in his home neighborhood and in his passing the community has lost a good neighbor. He will be greatly missed in his community and home. He leaves to mourn their loss besides children, grandchildren and great, grandchildren, many other relatives and friends. Father, you have left us, Gone beyond the rolling tide Of that dark and mighty river, Landing safe on Canaan's side. Landing safe with God and angels, In that heavenly home above, Singing ‘round the throne of glory Where there's perfect peace and love. We will miss thee, dearest father, Miss thee more than can tongue can tell; Yet we'll try to be submissive, For "He doeth all things well.: Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er, Dream of battlefields no more; Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking; Morn of toil, nor night of waking. Card of Thanks...We desire to thank all those who so kindly assisted us in any way during the illness and death of our beloved father; also Rev. Beagle for his consoling words, the funeral director for his efficient services, and all those who sent flowers. The Children. Mr. Thornton appears to have been the last burial in the cemetery. The stone is in good shape as of April 2007 but the rest of the cemetery and stones are deteriorating.
