Some of the following obituaries were found in a scrapbook at an antique store in Kingsville, Ohio called TRASH & TREASURES.
This store also had lots of old photographs of which many didn't have names on them but some of them did.
The scrapbook which contained the obituaries had a price on it of $75.00.  It contained many articles pertaining to Ashtabula County, Ohio.  I could not afford to buy the book so I took some snapshots with my digital camera.

Others were found at the Conneaut Public Library on film in the History Room.

My Dear Old Telegraph:--"The cold chilly winds of December are upon us, and if we have all done our duty we are prepared for them, as we have had sufficient warning.
Last week two quite sudden deaths occurred in our midst.  One a Mr. Garner Hopkins, who lived near Amboy station, had been threshing for a neighbor with a flail, came home and while sitting in his chair with the family, suddenly ceased to breathe, and that was all the struggle he had to pass away.  He was a very robust, hearty man for one of his age--85.  Some fifty years ago he was a resident of Ashtabula, and lived near Bunker Hill.  The other was Stephen B. Hopkins, a nephew of Garner.  He had been a resident of the borough for the past eight years.  He was formerly from Pierpont, and I believe was one of the pioneers of that township.  He was one of the most successful deer hunters on the Reserve.  The Hopkins family were natives of Rhode Island, and descended of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence."  (Stephen Hopkins, Signer of the Declaration of Independence was actually a second cousin twice removed.)
"Gardner Hopkins was born in 1796 at Foster, Rhode Island.  He married Freelove Parker, who was born August 12, 1798 at Scituate, Rhode Island.  The marriage took place in 1817.  They were located at Virgil, Courtland County, New York, where he followed the occupation of farming.  Gardner was a cooper by trade, but being poor, not getting on as well as he wished and with a view of bettering the family's condition, he determined to pull up stakes and go west.  They moved to Amboy, Ashtabula County, Ohio, four miles west of Conneaut, Ohio, on the Western Reserve where he did some farming."  (Hopkins genealogy)

The following obituary was found in the
"CONNEAUT REPORTER" on Aug. 8, 1888:

VESTA BATES KEYES

In the midst of the harvest season our Supreme Ruler has caused another being rip for the sickle of death to be garnered from our midst into the household beyond the grave.  Long has the soul been rip and waiting for that touch from death's angel which releasing it from its aged tenement, would set it free to dwell in the presence of the Maker.  The lapse of over four score yeas had bent the frame, dimmed the eye, crowned her with winter's locks, and like King Lear, her withered cheeks could not be made to bloom again even though bathed in tears Cordelia shed.

Mrs. Keyes was born at Commington, Mass., June 16, 1797, the first child of Asa and Jemima Bates.  Her childhood days were spent in the "bay state" and in 1815 moved with the family of her aunt, Mrs. Lewis Thayer, to Conneaut, where she has ever since resided.  In 1829 she was marred to General Henry Keyes, who preceded her along the pathway into the valley of death ten years ago.  She was the kind mother of seven children and an upright christian woman.  Very suddenly Monday afternoon she was stricken with apoplexy and in three hours, between 4 and 5 o'clock, the summons came for the spirit to leave the clay and wing its way to join the welcoming friends over beyond.  Four brothers and sisters, five children and a host of friends are left behind to grieve over her departure from among them.  She died in the eighty-seventh year of her earthly pilgrimage, with a pure and undying faith in a great Redeemer and an eternal life within his household.

The funeral will be held at 2'oclock this afternoon, at the family residence on Liberty street, Rev. J. R. Findley officiating.

Dr. Van Ort, of Springfield township committed suicide in this City last Saturday.  He came to Erie about three weeks since to be treated by Dr. Brandes for some disease under which he was laboring; but unfortunately fell into drinking habits, and continued to indulge freely until Friday when, as is supposed, in a fit of mental derangement produced by liquor, he took a liberal quantity of opium, and another dose the next morning from the effects of which he died.  He was a German and had been located in Springfield about three years, where he leaves a wife and six children.
