Damon Finney, an old pioneer of Johnson township, was found dead in his bed on Thursday, the 14th. Mr. FInney was living with his grandson, James Finney. About 3 o'clock in the morning, his grandson went to the bed to see if the old gentleman wanted anything; he said that he did not. About 4 o'clock, upon getting up to build the fire, James went to the bed and found his grandfather dead.
Mr. F. was over eighty-six years of age. He relates that he was in Cincinnati when Gen. Harrison started from that place to attack the British and Indians in northern Ohio. He says that he was then about seven or eight years old.
About one year ago, he was stricken with paralysis, from which he never recovered. He was buried in the Leamons cemetery.
