"Peter Harding died last Friday at his home one mile north of the village. He had been in ill health for two years, suffering from complications of the diseases, but the immediate cause of his death was dropsy. Mr. Harding was born in this township, where nearly all his life was spent, Oct. 18, 1824, and was therefore 69 years of age. He was a man of sterling integrity and commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew him. A widow and four children survive him. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. F. E. Lauffer, were held at the family residence Sunday afternoon. The interment was made in the Geeburg cemetery."
Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 6 Aug 1897, Article No. 29, by Dr. Jackson Truesdale
Excerpt: "Peter, the youngest son, was a man of integrity, and honorable in his dealings, greatly respected by those who knew him. His friendship and that of his wife and interesting family I always prized. Peter gave much attention to the cultivation of fruits and his judgment and skill in such matters were much sought after. He died Nov. 4, 1893, age 69. I visited him a short time before his death. His condition was indeed distressing. He knew and said he had but a few more days to live, but expressed no disappointment or dread, saying that his age and infirmities held out but little inducement to live longer."
