Funeral services will be conducted Sunday at 2 pm in the Boehringer funeral home in Enon for David Sheets, 98, who died Friday at 1:45 am in his home in Beatty following a lingering illness. Mr SHEETS, who had been bedfast for nearly two years, was the oldest Clark County veteran of the Civil War. Burial will be made in the Enon Cemetery. Born Nov 26, 1839, in Shaferstown, Berks County, Pa, Mr SHEETS was the son of Henry and Sarah Sheets. He came to Clark County with his parents in the covered wagon days at the age of 10. A sick horse caused the family to abandon their westward journey and they settled on a farm near Enon. Mr Sheets spent his boyhood on this farm. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr Sheets enlisted, with his two brothers, in the 16th Ohio Battery at New Orleans, La. One of the brothers, Samuel, now 93 still resides in Enon. Mr Sheets saw practically four years of service in the Civil War that carried him through some of the most desperate battles of the conflict, including the battles of Champion Hill and the siege of Vicksburg. Mr SHEETS was mustered out of the army on Aug 20, 1865, at Columbus, O, and on Nov 22, 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Malinda Athy of Enon. To this union were born two sons and seven daughters. He began farming shortly after his marriage and maintained a home in Mad River township until about 14 years ago when he retired and moved to Beatty. In 1916, Mr and Mrs Sheets celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and their 60th anniversary in 1926. Mrs Sheets died June 3, 1933 at the age of 90. Better know to his many friends as "Dad", Mr Sheets was a talented musician. In politics, he was a Republican and cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln in 1860. He had voted for 18 subsequent presidents. Mr Sheets is survived by two sons, Forest and PA Sheets of Springfield; five daughters, Lucille at home, Mrs Alfred Taylor, Mrs Emma Rader and Mrs Bessie Richeson of Springfield, and Mrs Alfred Frock, of Springfield Route 1; 14 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and four great great grandchildren; one brother, Samuel Sheets 93 of Enon and a sister, Mrs Susan Mullenix 91 of Arcanum.
