Newspaper article Thurs., 10/30/1890

A body was found in the creek below Cameron, last Sunday, and the Coroner summoned. The body was identified as John Hout, who had been missing several days, and search was being made for him by his friends. He had been somewhat out of his mind lately and had probably wandered off and was drowned by accident. John was well known by the people of this county as a harmless, good fellow, but drink was his great enemy and caused his ruin. He was for several years an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Erie.

Obituary, 10/30/1890

John Hout, an old soldier, was followed to the grave by a good delegation of Grand Army men and a large number of other citizens last Tuesday, and placed in an honored grave by a patriotic people who only remember the patriotic services of poor Hout in the time of our Nation's peril, and the same patriotism of a grateful people has provided a tombstone to his memory.
