  • Notes 
    • Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, July 8, 1897 Sandy Creek News - Mannsville - Zara Van Wormer died last Saturday morning at 3:40 o'clock a.m. after lingering for twelve days ina comatose state most of the time. The day before he died, however, he sat up in bed, smoked his pipe and seemed much better than he had for several days. Mr. Van Wormer realized his condition and said the first day after he was stricken that he would never get well. He will be missed by neighbors and friends as he was always at home, working in his shop. His funeral was held Sunday at 2:00 p.m. at the M. E. church, Rev. W. J. Hancock officiating. Mr. Van Wormer leaves one sister, two sons, one daughter and one foster daughter and several grandchildren to mourn his death. He had lived to be nearly seventy five years of age and always enjoyed the best of health.
