OBITUARY
Newcastle, Indiana, Courier, Wednesday, August 9, 1922
Wm. Muzzy, a man of sterling worth, was born in Knightstown, Ind., November 10, 1838. He was the son of James and Mary Muzzy.
Up to the age of 23 he was a farmer, and on April 18, 1861 he answered the call of volunteers to defend the Constitution and the old flag he loved. Three times he enlisted and was three times honorably discharged, his final discharge dated September 20, 1865.
After the close of the war he was married to Mary L. Conklin. To them were born five children, Carrie, Cora, Maude and Claude (twins) and Ethalind.
He was generous to the needy, almost to a fault, and the reputation he maintained for honesty and integrity was beyond reproach. He relished a joke and his humorous nature and disposition for making acquaintances made for him a legion of friends.
In 1879, he made a confession of faith in Christ and became a member of the Mt. Summit Christian church.
Mr. Muzzy was a harness maker by trade and for several years plied his trade in Mt. Summit. Six years ago at the age of 78 (long after he had passed the allotted three score and ten), the burden of years began to weigh him down and with much regret he and his faithful help-mate sold their little home in Mt. Summit and went to Newcastle to live with their children. Although he suffered night and day since that time, his iron constitution and wonderful vitality bore him up until at 5 o?clock on the morning of August 5, the bugle from on high sounded the last taps and he peacefully went to
sleep, in that land from which no traveler has ever yet returned, aged 84 years, 8 months and 25 days. Although his faithful wife and loving children will miss him, they know that God knows best and feel a keen sense of satisfaction in knowing he will suffer no more.
He leaves to mourn his departure, his wife, three daughters, Mrs. Carry Hinshaw, North 18th steet, Newcastle, Mrs. Maude Locker, Grand avenue, Newcastle, and Mrs. Etha Smith, Sulphur Springs, and one son, Claude, Walnut street, Newcastle, one brother, James, the last of seven brothers, of Bryant, Ill, still lives. There are seventeen grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. One daughter, Cora, preceded him to the other world in June, 1903.
Let me so live that when the summons comes to join the innumerable caravan that moves on towards that Mysterious Realm, I can wrap the draperies of my couch about me and lie down to pleasant dreams.
William married CONKLIN, Mary Frances 06 Nov 1866, Wayne County, Indiana. Mary (daughter of CONKLIN, Aaron and GOLDMANN, Lavinia) was born 19 Nov 1847, Miamisburg, Ohio; died 16 Nov 1935, New Castle, Henry, Indiana, USA; was buried Mount Summit, Indiana Cemetery. [Group Sheet]

WOMAN TAKES OWN LIFE, DESPONDENT OVER ILL HEALTH
Mrs. Carrie Hinshaw, of North Eighteenth, Drowns Self in Cistern at Lynn, Indiana
Funeral Services Here
Had Appeared to be in Better Spirits, And Was Preparing to Return to Home Here
Mrs. Carrie Hinshaw of 324 North Eighteenth Street, following months of despondency because of her long sickness, ended her life last night or this morning early, by drowning herself in a cistern at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harry Bowen, at Lynn, Ind. The body was discovered in the cistern this morning after Mrs. Hinshaw was missed from her room.
The deceased is survived by her mother, Mrs. May Muzzy, of 324 North Eighteenth; four sons, William residing east of the city; Robert, of Dayton, Ohio; Carl and Lynn, both employees of the Daily Times, and who reside at home; two sisters, Mrs. Hester Bowen of Lynn and Mrs. H. H. Locker of this city, and one brother, Claude Muzzy. The husband died about 10 years ago.
Mrs. Hinshaw has been practically an Invalid for many months and has made her home, since her illness, among her children.
Planned to Come Home
She had apparently been much improved recently and was planning to come to her home here. She had made all arrangements to have the home redecorated and prepared for her return.
Her act was not expected, because she had been less despondent of recent weeks and seemed to be in better health.
It is believed that during the night, while brooding of her illness, she arose and went to the rear of the home, where, removing the cover from the cistern, she lowered herself into the cool water to drown.
Funeral Monday
When she did not appear from her room at the usual hour an investigation was made by the daughter and the act was then learned of.
Funeral arrangements were not made, pending the arrival of the son from Dayton, but it was stated that the body would likely be brought to the home here, Sunday, and that the services would be hold from the home sometime, Monday.
