Ronald Bruce North stated to grandson James North that the only person John North knew he killed for certain was an opposing Civil War soldier, opposite him across a ravine. Both were trying to load their guns to shoot first. In the interest of quickness (and his life) he didn't remove the ram-rod used to pack the ammunition into the gun, and fired, thus spearing the enemy across the ravine and killing him.

Ronald Bruce also said to James North, that John North spoke of a time that they (soldiers) had found a way to attach two canon balls together with a chain. They packed them both into the canon and fired it. The canon balls on each end of a now spinning chain "cut a ten foot swath through the enemy, cutting some of them completely in half". He stated that the result was so gruesome and brutal that they didn't use that any more.

Pension as Widow:

One month and three days from her husbands death, Sarah Maris Harris North applied for his pension as his widow. John had been receiving $12.00 a month in pension since December in 1890. Widows, however, did not qualify for full pensions. It took Sarah about a year to be approved for John's pension, and she was only allowed $8.00 per month. She had applied for accrued pension though, and her check was for $91.00, mailed to her on January 16th, 1907. The "Act of September 8, 1916" allowed Sarah's pension to be raised to $20.00 per month. At some point between 1916 and her death in 1922, her pension was raised to $30.00 a month. She no longer lived on the two acre farm that she inherited from John after his death, and resided in Stewart, Athens County, Ohio, with her daughter and son in law, Marcella and Roy Roberts. Her final pension check arrived on March 4th, the day she died, and had to be returned by the Postmaster. There wasn't enough money to bury her and pay her last medical bills so her son William North applied for a Pension Reimbursement on March 31st, 1922. Sarah's unpaid doctor bill came to $14.00. The application William sent in said that Ezra McDaniel, undertaker of Amesville, was owed $196.00 for her burial as well, totalling $210.00. The county paid $100.00 of Sarah's burial, and the Pension office sent a check for $187.00 as reimbursement ($91.00 accrued pension, plus $96.00 remaining burial fee).

Once more the Angel of Death has entered our home and took from us our dearest treasure there - Our Mother.

Mary Belle Bricker, daughter of John H. and Maltilda Bricker, was born Oct. 17, 1860: departed this life for a better world, April 13th, 1923, aged 62 years, five months and 27 days,

Her entire life was spent near the place of her birth in Athens county. She was united in marriage to David H. North, November 26th, 1881. To this union were born ten children, Bessie Green, Nola Lock, Nellie McConaha, Clara Young, Dora Davis and Neva Sweeney, of Chauncey: Lurline Chapman, of Glouster and Hattie Tittle of Beaumont, two children having gone on before, Stella, when but a babe, and John Henry, when 16 years of age, their only son.

Father and mother, tow brothers and one sister preceded her to her Heavenly home. There are also left many relatives and friends who mingle their tears with those of the family in this, their time of great sorrow. But may we all bow in humble submission to the will of God and say, "Thy will be done." We have that blessed assurance that our dear mother was prepared and ready to go. During the last few years her health did not permit her to enjoy the privilege of attending divine worship as often as she would have liked, but she lives a true Christian life daily. She gave her heart to God years ago and during her last sickness she said she was ready to go. She never shrank from duty or tired of doing good at all times. She was a true friend and neighbor, a loving wife in the home. The pride of her heart was her children. During her last sickness of several weeks, she was fully conscious of all happenings about her until a short time before her death. She would watch and wait for some of her children to come, never murmuring of anything concerning herself. May she rest with God, being ready to meet him.
