Abraham L. Koontz – Will dated Sept. 18, 1900 – Raccoon Tp. Know all men by these presents that I, A.L. Koontz, being of sound mind and knowing the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, make this my last will and testimony. I give and bequeath my son Philip Koontz my home farm containing eighty-seven acres if he maintains me during my life – he to pay my burial expense and put a suitable head and footstone to my grave. I also give the same Philip Koontz all my personal property that I may be proven of. Signed A. L. Koontz Wit: James Grafton(?) E.R. Radekin.

OBITUARY – DUST TO DUST – The mortal body of Mr. Abraham L. Koontz was consigned to the grave Wednesday afternoon. The deceased had been in impaired health for a number of years, and having suffered a paralytic stroke a few weeks ago, he finally yielded to the grim reaper.

Mr. Koontz was born in Green Co. on January 16, 1813, and died on February 02, 1903, aged 90 years and 16 days. He came with his parents to Gallia Co. when he was but three years old. He was married on November 17, 1813 (sic), to Miss Elizabeth W. Eagle. To this union were born seven sons and one daughter. Of this family, the mother and four sons have been called to try the realities of the great beyond, leaving three sons, Phillip of near Vinton, John of Fostoria, and George, of Dayton, Ohio, and one daughter, Mrs. Mary Jones of Jackson, who is now left to mourn the loss of a kind father.

It can be truly said of Mr. Koontz that he was a good neighbor, always ready to help the needy and those in distress. He told a special friend that when the Gilboa Church was built, he belonged to the class and enjoyed the love of God, and knew for himself that there was a reality in the religion of Jesus Christ, but by the neglect of duty, he became cold and dead to religion, but some time before his last sickness he felt the need of redeeming grace and praying earnestly for forgiveness, he was once more ready to go to meet his Savior.

The funeral services, which were held at his late home, were conducted by Rev. J. S. Ricketts Wednesday at 10 o’clock. His remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground by Undertaker Kerr Butler.
