Geneva Gazette

DEATH OF AN OLD AND ESTEEMED CITIZEN

In our last issue, we announced the sudden and alarming illness of Isaac W. Runyan, Esq., but expressed the hope that under the treatment of most skillful and experienced physicians who had been summoned to his bedside, he would recover. Alas, the fond hope proved vain. He expired at 5 o'clock of the day of our publication. Death came to him literally as to one "who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams."

On the afternoon of Thursday, Mr. Runyan retired for a few hours' rest and sleep at the time in his usual state of health, not it is true, in sound physical condition, yet not ailing to such a degree as to create alarm in his own mind or to excite fear in the family circle. Sleeping longer than usual and breathing somewhat heavily, an attempt was finally made to awaken him, when the family were grief-stricken by the discovery that he had lost consciousness and was apparently dying. It verily proved to be "the sleep that knows no waking" this side of eternity.

Mr. Runyan was a native of our neighboring town of Fayette, but at an early day removed to this town, settling at Seneca Castle, where for many years he carried on business as a merchant, miller and farmer at times conducting all three enterprises simultaneously. His dealings with his fellow men were marked with genuine frankness, scrupulous integrity, gentlemanly dignity and courtesy. He was a self-educated man, of good native talent, and well cultivated by much reading and close observation. His religious and political principles were formed at an early age, held to with the tenacity of life itself, and on all proper occasions was ready to defend them with intelligence and ability. We cannot forbear speaking of him as a valued friend of the Gazette as opportunity afforded contributing to its support by his pen, his influence and his patronage. Of a warm heart and lively temperament, he was born for friendship and fond of genial society. He was highly valued as a counsellor by his neighbors, and hailed as the steadfast and beneficent friend of the poor. He died as we have reason to believe without a personal enemy and the community among whom he dwelt so long and by whom he was so highly honored, have in deed sustained an irreparable loss.

He reared a large family, of whom six are sons, grown to men's estate, the eldest a clergyman of the M. E. Church, of which deceased was a devoted member and the others reflect no discredit upon their worthy parentage. An only daughter, upon whom were centered his fondest affections, died about a year ago, an event that produced depression of spirits in Mr. R., and from which he never wholly rallied.

At our late town meeting, Mr. Runyan was the democratic candidate for Justice of the Peace, and although his ticket generally was defeated, he was successful by a majority of nearly 150, a fact to which we allude as attesting his well deserved popularity. "An honest man's the noblest work of God," and such was Isaac W. Runyan. The funeral took place on Monday last, with services at the M. E. Church, Seneca Castle, the pastor passing an eloquent eulogy upon the life and character of the deceased, in presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends.
