DEARDORFF, aged 85 years, prominent pioneer of Fulton county, died Friday evening at his farm home directly west of Athens where he has resided for a number of years. Death resulted from high blood pressure from which ailment the deceased had been rendered an invalid for the past four years. Mr. Deardorff was perhaps one of the best and most favorably known residents in the eastern part of Fulton county. William Henry, son of Isaac and Rebecca DEARDORFF, was born near Canton, Ohio, August 14, 1842. The father died when William was but six years of age and at the age of 14 the young lad started out to face life's burdens single handed. On Sept. 10, 1861, Deardorff enlisted with the 19th regiment of Ohio volunteers. He fought in several of the leading battles of that conflict and was taken prisoner in the year of 1863 serving a long period of time in the Libby and Andersonville prisons. Later he was released from prison through an exchange of prisoners and continued in the service until he was honorably discharged on Feb. 4, 1865. After the war he was engaged for seven years in the government service in the western states. Mr. Deardorff then returned to Rochester where on July 30, 1876 he was united in marriage to Sarah Jane KOFFEL. For 15 years he followed the painters trade in about Rochester, later removing to a farm just west of Athens, where the remainder of his life was spent. William Deardorff was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Royal Arch Masons, this city, and the McClung Post G.A.R. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Charles GOOD, of Ft. Wayne, and two sons, Fred [DEARDORFF], of Wayland, Michigan, and Floyd [DEARDORFF], at home. Mrs. Deardorff preceded her husband in death on Nov. 19th, 1925. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the farm home west of Athens, with the Rev. Jas. W. NIVEN officiating.
