BEN ROE DEAD
He Passes Away at His Home in Greenup This Morning
At 11:25 O’clock-He had been Ill with Typhoid Fever Fourteen Days-Prominent Lawyer and Leading Citizen of Greenup County-Well and Favorably Known Here.
The following special to the Times from Greenup conveys the sad intelligence of the death of one of Greenup county’s brightest young lawyers and most progressive citizens.
Greenup, Ky., Feb. 23, 1895
PORTSMOUTH, OHIO, Times - B.E. Roe died at 11:25 this morning. H. C. D.
Mr. Roe’s death was caused by typhoid fever complicated with kidney trouble. He was taken ill just fourteen days ago, the disease assuming an acute form from the first, and baffling the skill of the physicians. He rallied somewhat a day or two ago and hopes were entertained that he would recover. The hope proved a vain one however. Yesterday he suffered a relapse and sank steadily until this morning at 11:25 when death relieved him from his sufferings.
Mr. Roe was one of the very finest and most promising young men in Eastern Kentucky and scores of friends at his native place and in surrounding counties, mourn his untimely death. Bright, handsome and generous to a fault, he made friends on all sides. Everybody had a good word to say for "Bud" Roe, as his friends called him.
Ben E. Roe was the son of George Elliott Roe, for many years a leading lawyer of Greenup, who died several years ago. Ben was born in Greenup some thirty-five or thirty-six years ago. Read law, was admitted a number of years ago, and has been practising law in Greenup ever since. He was very successful and had built up a large practice. Since the retirement of Hon.Thos. F. Paynter from the active pursuit of his profession, Mr. Roe has easily stood at the head of the Greenup bar and was engaged on one side or the other in most of the cases in court.
He was a staunch Democrat politically, and the Times takes pride in the fact that it ever counted "Bud" Roe as one of its most loyal friends. He was quite active in politics and was in the fall of 1893 the candidate of his party for the state senator in the district to which Greenup county belongs, but was defeated by a small majority. At the time he was holding the office of county attorney for Greenup county, an office corresponding to that of prosecuting attorney in Ohio. He was a candidate for re-election, last fall, but went down with his ticket, his successful competitor being W. J. A. Rarden.
Mr. Roe was united in marriage Dec. 5, 1893, to Miss Agnes I. Barklow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stout Barklow of East Third street, this city, the ceremony being performed at the home of Miss Barklow, by Rev. Dr. Tappan. But little more than a year has passed and the friends of Mrs. Barklow (sic.) are called upon to mourn with her, the loss of him who was a gallant lover and a faithful and devoted husband.
