John Jacob Sulsberger [Source: The Spirit of Democracy Woodsfield, Ohio Thurs. , Oct. 5, 1916]Dr. John Jacob Sulsberger, aged 44 years, died at his home on Eastern Avenue Tuesday morning, September 26, 1916, at 9:30 o?clock after a serious illness of a little over two weeks. He had been in rather indifferent health for the past year or more, yet no serious alarm was felt until quite recently, when spasmodic neuritis in a form baffling all medical skill attacked his weakened constitution. He was born at Woodsfield, Ohio on May 28, 1872, as the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sulsberger. He received early religious training in his home and at the age of 14 on April 18, 1886, he was admitted into membership with St. Paul?s Evangelical Church by the rite of confirmation.In early manhood he taught public school for a number of years, but latter entered the Dental College of Northwestern University of Chicago, from which he graduated in 1898.On December 29, 1901, he was united in marriage with Miss Louise Diehl , with whom he established and maintained a Christian home. To this home came two children, Diehl and Harry.Not only as a successful dentist but in Church and Sunday school work, in politics and education, he was well known throughout the County. He was at the time of his death president of the Woodsfield Board of Education and Tuesday afternoon the schools were dismissed for the day out of respect to him. He leaves a wife and two sons, father and mother and several brothers. The funeral services were conducted at the home on Eastern Avenue Thursday, September 28, 1916, by the Reverend E. Seybold, pastor of the Evangelical Church, assisted by the Reverend R. L. Ryall, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and the Independent Order of Oddfellows. The male quartet composed of Mr. L. G. Ditzler, Mr. T. E. Drum, Mr. Delno Webb and Dr. Ewing Thornberry, rendered two very beautiful and appropriate selections.The procession, the largest in the history of our town, passed between two rows of school children who assembled on Easter Avenue, scattering flowers as a tribute to one who had proven his friendship for them in life.Interment in Oaklawn cemetery, Woodsfield.
