RALPH OUTMAN, 89, RETIRED BUSINESSMAN, DIES AT HOME

Ralph Outman, 89, retired businessman, died at his home on Church Street, Thursday, Aug. 28, 1952. Mr. Outman was born at Whites Corners, Pa., but lived in Westfield most of his life.

His wife, Ava (Ada) Townsend Outman, died in October, 1939.

A prominent and enterprising citizen, Mr. Outman was very active in the business life of Westfield for many years. For eight years he was in business with his brother, the late W. H. Outman. They conducted a drug store and also carried paints and wall paper.

After that Ralph Outman ran a horse livery for three years. Then for eight years he was employed by the Westfield Boro as Street Commissioner and Water Superintendent.

Following this, he spent six years with the H.Z. Pride & Son Feed Store. Later he was elected to take full charge of the Farmers Hardware, which position he held until the store burned down. He then worked for Frank E. Kinsman in his hardware for two years.

J. E. Sherwood and Ralph Outman then formed a partnership and bought out Clark Wedger, who conducted a small grocery where Fitzwater's food Store is now located. A year or so later, Mr. Sherwood sold his interest to R. O. Chappell. Mr. Outman and Mr. Chappell built a good sized addition and it became a big store. They ran the business for about six years and then sold out to Edwin Keeney in 1929, at which time Mr. Outman retired.

Survivors are a son, Paul, of Buffalo, N. Y. ; two daughters, Mrs. Glenn Peet of Elmira, N. Y., and Mrs. Blanche Chappell of Westfield, R.D.; six grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Stephen S. Outman

This community was greatly shocked one week ago Sunday when the word was received that S. S. Outman, known to many here, had accidently met death in Kansas City where he had made his home the past few years. It seems that Mr. Outman was going to his work about eight o'clock in the morning and in stepping from the street car to avoid a passing automobile he stepped a little further back and just as he did so, a gush of water struck him knocking him across the street, his head striking the curbing, rendering him unconscious in which condition he remained until death a week later. We haven't as yet heard the exact cause of this sudden explosion of water, but it seems there was a fire in the next block and the double pressure from the water main might have had something to do with it.

Stephen S. Outman was born in St. Francois County, MO., April 13, 1849, and died in Kansas City, MO, January 28, 1921, being 71 years, 9 months and 15 days old. He was married to Hattie Roberts, June 4, 1873, at De Soto, MO. To this union were born nine children; Bert, of Paola, Kans., Emma (Mrs. Harry Dixon) of Los Angeles, Calif., Carrie (Mrs. Ernest Dixon) of Kincaid, Roy of Denver, Alphs (Mrs. J.J. Connolly) of Detroit, Mich., Harley of Tulsa, Okla, Fred of Oakland, Calif., Jessie of Kansas City, Mo., and Eugene of Detroit, Mich. Mr. Outman with his family moved to Kansas in 1883, settling in Linn county where he resided until about 18 or 20 years ago. He was converted in 1882 in Miami county during a meeting held by Joseph Payne and was sanctified during the meeting at Kohisburg in 1889. A funeral service was held in Kansas City on Sunday conducted by Rev. Watkins, also one in Centerville on Tuesday conducted by Rev. Geo. Smith, both were former pastors and close friends of the family. The body was placed in the Centerville cemetery, the lot having been purchased by Mr. Outman six years ago while visiting here. All of the children were present at the funeral except Emma and Harley. Harley was in Kansas City for the service but had to return home. Several grandchildren were present -- Russell, Estel, Velma and Frieda Dixon and Hazel and Wilma Outman.

Outman, V.

VALERIAN OUTMAN

Senior Citizen of Wolfeboro

WOLFEBORO- Valeria "Val" Outman, 96, of Pleasant Valley Road, died Friday morning, Feb. 6, 2001 at her home.

She was born Dec. 12, 1904, in Detroit, Mich., daughter of Selma Farron and George Farron, who played trumpet with John Philip Sousa.

Her family says she would have loved to have been a botanist, physicist or astronaut, but was fortunate to finish high school and lived by her secretarial skills for most of her life.

As a divorced single parent in the late 1940s, she worked for a tool and die firm in Indianapolis, supplementing her income by renting to roomers and selling insurance and cosmetics at night. Her entrepreneurial spirit inspired her to create small businesses -- raising angora rabbits in rural Indiana and opening a dress shop in Hawaii.

In the early 1960s, she worked as a housemother, first at Knox College and then at Mt. Holyoke College. Then, for 15 years, she managed a modest family apartment complex on Cape Cod.

Of all the towns she lived in, Wolfeboro was her favorite. She arrived in 1984 at age 80 and kept busy working several days a week at the Wolfeboro Children's Center, a place she loved dearly.

She was active in church life at First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Wolfeboro, having been Second Reader for three years, among other church positions.

The gardens surrounding her Pleasant Valley home have been on the Garden Club tour and were an attraction for neighbors and friends.

A year ago, she startled her family by declaring, "Oh, to be 65 again!" When asked what she would do were that the case, she answered, "Well, if I were 65, I could do anything!"

Family members include her daughter and son-in-law, Sandra and John Baehrend of Boston; and three grandsons.

Family and friends gathered at her home Feb. 18 to commemorate and celebrate her life.

Revolutionary Descendant Cut
Off In His Prime

After a long illness covering over a year William Allen Outman passed on Friday morning. The funeral was held at the Methodist church at 11 o'clock Sunday morning, the Rev. E. J. Jeffrey delivering the sermon. The local Masonic order had charge of the services, C. H. Mandeville being the acting Grand Master.

Burial was at Mt. Pleasant cemetery. The following veterans of the Spanish-American War acted as honorary pall bearers: Comrades Fred Barry, Lodi, Brown, and Beige, Baraboo, Berg, Reedsburg, and Schwenke, Sauk City. The active pall bearers chosen from the Masons in attendance were John Weast, Al McFarland, V. F. Vanderpoel, Nels Thompson, Charles Chrisler, and George O. Gordon.

Mr. Outman was born on Feb. 22, 1872, at Hyers Corners in Dane county. His father, N. S. Outman, is a descendant of Colonel Ethan Allen of Revolutionary fame and his mother, who was one of the Arlington Fultons, was a descendant from Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamship. The family is also related to the Roosevelts of New York.

When William was 4 years old the family moved to Athens, Mich., where they lived on a farm in Athens township. There Mr. Outman attended high school as a young boy and in 1893 he came back to this part of the state, locating in Lodi.

When the Spanish American War broke out he enlisted in Co. B, 4th Wisconsin Infantry at Camp Douglas on July 14, 1898. He was discharged at Anniston, Ala., on Feb. 28, 1899.

Returning north Mr. Outman worked for eleven years in Minnesota as a lineman on the St. Peter division of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. At the end of that time he located in Baraboo for a year and then came back to Lodi where he established the Outman Tire Shop.

On Feb. 1, 1921, Mr. Outman married Mrs. Nettie Colville who has been his constant attendant and nurse since he was taken sick in April, 1923, with malady which proved to be a cancer. Through all these many months Mrs. Outman has devoted her entire time and energy in making him as comfortable as possible while he should live.

William "Skip" Outman

William "Skip"
Outman
6/15/1944 - 4/11/2012

William "Skip" Outman died on March 11, 2012, after a six month battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He is survived by his wife, Jan; children Chad (Jackie) of Auburn, Troy (Sarah), of Washington, Todd of Switzerland, and Tracy of Illinois; grandchildren Christopher, Tyler and Melanie; and his brothers Ric and Tim.

Skip was born on June 15, 1944, in Corpus Christi, Texas. He graduated from Humboldt State College and moved to Auburn in 1967, where he worked for 13 years as a teacher and coach. He then became a Realtor, a career he truly enjoyed, continuing to work throughout his final illness to help his clients.

Skip was an avid runner and was a familiar sight to many on the local trails and back roads, along with his favorite running partners, his dogs Sadie and Reba. He was a member of Nancy March's Running Club for 20 years. He loved riding cutting horses and raising Longhorns and buffalo. He was a supporter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for years both as a donor and as a member of Team in Training, a fundraiser.

Skip was the go-to guy for many local organizations who needed real estate advice and assistance. In addition to his high level of personal integrity, he was known for his calm, comforting demeanor in difficult situations. These traits led to the formation of close personal bonds with all those he worked with. Despite his successes in life, he remained a most humble man.

Skip served on the Placer Land Trust Board of Directors since 2006. His knowledge of the area was second-to-none and as a result, Skip was instrumental in the successful completion of a number of projects, including Garden Bar Preserve, Oest Ranch – Lake Clementine Preserve and Harvego Bear River Preserve.

Skip cultivated his artistic abilities. He took watercolor classes for many years and greatly enjoyed painting pictures of Auburn landscapes, his beloved Longhorns and, of course, his dogs.

Skip was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support he received from the entire community during his illness. His family is grateful to all for their contributions and support. Skip affected so many lives with his integrity, generosity and kindness; he will be greatly missed by family, friends and community.

At Skip's request, there will be no services. His family is planning a Celebration of Life at a later date. Updates will be in the Auburn Journal and on his Caring Bridge website: www.caringbridge.org/visit/skipoutman.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Placer Land Trust, the Placer SPCA or a charity of your choice.

To many residents of Marseilles, whose teacher he was, he was known to the last as Professor Outman.

MEMBER METHODIST CHURCH

Mr. Outman was a member of the Methodist Church and one of its leading workers. He was a man of firm convictions and had the courage to express them. He was a bitter foe of the saloons and it is said of him that when he was but a small boy he was a strong advocate of temperance. He was an able speaker and was frequently called upon to talk. He became most prominent as President of the Law and Order League, as he was plaintiff in a test liquor case which went to the Supreme Court and was decided in his favor.

After he quit his occupation as School Teacher, Mr. Outman engaged in other work. He was employed at the Certain-teed Factory, The National Biscuit Plant, and The Crescent Mills. At the time he was taken sick, he was employed by the Quaker Oats Company, travelling throughout the state, buying straw for the Pekin, Illinois Paper Mills, which are managed from the Crescent office in this city.

A LEADING WOODMAN

WILLIAM H. OUTMAN, OLDEST MERCHANT IN WESTFIELD, DIES

William Hibbard Outman, 90, oldest merchant in Westfield, died Friday, Sept. 7, 1951, at his home after an extended illness. He operated the William H. Outman & Sons Hardware and Drug Stores, on Main Street, and was active in business until four months ago.

He was born at White's Corners February 22, 1861. The family moved to Westfield when William was a boy and he has resided here ever since.

Mr. Outman got a great deal out of life, perhaps because he put so much into life. The principles of the Christian religion actuated him in his associations and dealings with people. The making of new acquaintances, the forming of new friendships, the strengthening of old, was the essence of life to him. When he could aid or accommodate, as (illegible), then was he happiest. His smile was a suggestion to cast aside the frets of the day. In all he was an enthusiastic supporter of every worthwhile community enterprise.

Mr. Outman began operation of the drug store in 1883 and sold it in 1903. He started the hardware store in partnership with Emmer Buck during 1905 and later became sole owner. He resumed operation of the drug store in 1923. His sons, Arthur, Carl and Rea, joined him in the business.

Mr. Outman was an active member of the Methodist Church in Westfield and a trustee for a number of years.

His brother Ralph, 88, now retired, operated a grocery store in Westfield until about eight years ago.

He is survived by three sons, Arthur, Carl and Rea of Westfield; four grandchildren, Mrs. Donna Power of Bristol, Pa., Sgt. Rea W. Outman of Panama City, Fla., Beverly Outman of Westfield, and Mrs. Dorothy Lawrence of Copenhagen, Denmark; a brother, Ralph Outman of Westfield; a nephew, Paul Outman of Buffalo, N.Y., and two nieces, Mrs. Blanche Chappell of Westfield, R.D., and Mrs. Marjorie Peet, of Elmira, N.Y.

Funeral services were held at the Westfield Methodist Church Monday at 2 p.m. Rev. Clarence Wien and Rev. Clifton E. Swearingen officiated. Burial was in Mr. Pleasant Cemetery, Westfield.

Pall bearers were: Fred Wood, Frank Hall, William Trowbridge, John Trowbridge, Elmer Cole and Gates McNinch.
