Her disease was dropsy. The deceased formerly lived in Canfield and was among the first residents of that town. She was well known here and very highly respected. She is the widow of the late Ex-Sheriff Erastus Platt with who she lived up to the time of his death. She had quite a number of relatives in Canfield. (Vantuyl Hitchcock being her brother) besides many other near relatives.

Mahoning Dispatch, 2 Jul 1897, Article No. 24 by Dr. Jackson Truesdale
Excerpt re burials after Cook Fitch's death from cholera:
The village undertaker, John Ohl, absolutely refused to go near the dead bodies, and very unwilling, if at all, furnished the materials or suffered the coffins to be made in his shop. I have heard that Tom Peterson, with the aid of many oaths, dug the first graves for these victims. I was not living in Canfield at this time and therefore have no personal knowledge of the events spoken of. About all the information I have been able to gather is derived from a conversation had with our townsman, Ira H. Bunnell. At the time he was a lad some 14 years of age, and whose memory may be relied upon as fully as any one now within reach. Mr. Bunnell says that his father, Charles A., Erastus Platt and one other man whose name he could not recall, prepared the coffins and buried the bodies as speedily as possible and likely without any Christian ceremony whatever.

On 21 July 1881, Salmon Hudron, Examining Surgeon, describes George’s rheumatism:
“In my opinion the said Geo. M. Hitchcock is particularly incapacitated for obtaining his subsistence by manual labor from the cause above stated (rheumatism) . . . The disability is probably permanent. A more particular description of the applicant’s condition is subjoined: Height, 6 ft.; weight, 170; complexion, tight; age, 54; pulse, 80; respiration, 18. The said Geo. M. Hitchcock has Rheumatism of the Peracardium, at times he is unable to perfrom manual labor. He was a good and faithful soldier during the late war, was in the service nearly four years and came home disabled. I find his disability to be one half total; viz four dollars per month.”

On 24 March 1886, the Pension Board, J. T. Samfall, President, Geo. G. Peckham, Sec’y, and W. C. Bunce, Treas., find that George’s health is too good and he does not deserve a pension. George gives the following statement:

“I was exposed to cold and wet weather sometime in 1864. Took cold and had Rheumatism. Iwas not in Hospt. for Ruemnatism or any other sickness. When I work hard I have pain in my left side in region of heart with palpitation and dizziness. Can’t sleep at night. My heart stops beating. I have shifting pains in my hips and knees. My Rheumatism has increased the past two or three years.”

At this time, the examining physician finds him in the following condition:
“His pulse-rate is 80 per minute; his respiration is 22; his temperature 98; his height is 6 feet; he weighs 190 pounds, and states that he is 61 years of age. We find his tongue clear. Stomach, silver spleen, bowels and kidneys normal. Lungs mormal. Measurements 36 - 38. Heart normal. Muscular system well developed and nourished. No contractions of muscles or tendons. No structural changes or impeded motion of any joint. Measurements of all limbs and joints equal and mormal. General appearance indicates health and that he performs manual labor. We think him not entitled to rating for Rheumatism. Specific gravity of urine 1018, no sugar or albumon.”

On 26 November 1886 George again describes how he contracted rheumatism in an attempt to keep his pension. “I was never treated in an army hospital while in the service. But was treated for Rheumatism by our Regimental Surgeon. While we were at Harrson’s Landing Virginia I had Rheumatism and was treated for it by our Regimental Surgeon. This was about the last of Aug. 1862. I can’t give exact date now and afterward about Sept 5, 1862 at Georgetown Md. at the time our Regiment starts for Antietam I was too ill from Rheumatism to march with the Regt. and was treated by our Surgeon and excused from the march but rode with the ammunition train and joined my Co. at Antietam the morning of Sept. 16, 1862. Afterwards in June 1864 about the 15th or 20th I was again sick with Rhheumatism and was treated by our Surgeon and was excused from duty on that account but did not go to the hospital.”

The Pension Board requested information from Wells W. Miller, Captain of Company H, 8th Regiment O.I.V., regarding where the company really was located on the dates George mentioned above. He disagrees with George’s dates and says the company was in Alexandria, Virginia on June 30 and August 31st, 1862, and was at Harrison’s Landing, Virginia on 31 July 1862.

On 17 December 1890 George is described as being 66 years old, 5 feet 11 and 3/4 inches tall, and weighing 168 pounds. He suffered from rhumatism, and an irregular heartbeat.

1891 Ohio Special census for Civil War Veterans lists George Hitchcock as living in Medina County. He was a Sergeant in Company H, 8th Ohio Infantry. He enlisted 26 June 1861 and was mustered out 13 July 1864. He served three years. There is no disability listed.

OBITUARY
Geo. M. Hitchcock, veteran soldier of the Civil war and a well-known citizen of Medina, passed from life at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ida Presley, June 23, 1901, after an illness of five months, the result of a paralytic stroke. He was buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, June 24, his comrades of the G.A.R. laying him to rest.
Geo. Hitchcock was born in Vermont, 77 years ago, the child of Jabez and Lovinia Hitchcock.
The father was one of the pioneers of Medina Village, and helped to cut the trees of the virgin forest, where is now the public square, and helped build there the “log Episcopal Church.” It was in the hard school of pioneer life that George spent his boyhood and youth, and he saw Medina Village in its beginnings and remained a Medina citizen all his life.
When the Civil war broke out, George Hitchcock was one of the first in this town to volunteer in his country’s behalf. He enlisted June 6, 1861, in the 8th O. V. I., -- that grand old regiment that received for so long a baptism of blood and fire. He entered the service as a corporal. He was mustered out July 13, 1864, and in all the intervening time of service he never missed a roll-call nor a fight. He was in the terrible battles of Winchester, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, at “the bloody angle” at Spottsylvania Court House, Cold Harbor and Petersburg: and no man ever said that he did not do his full duty as a soldier. His bravery and courage were unsurpassed: he rose to the heroic in battle: and even more than this, his great kind heart was as gentle and loving as a woman’s in its tenderness displayed toward his brothers in arms; he was never too tired on the march to help some weaker comrade, never too thristy not to give a fainting brother the last drop in his canteen. He was man of mature years when he entered the service, and his comrades say that “the boys” came to rely on his judgment and look to him much as they would to a father.
After the close of the war, Geo. Hitchcock returned to Medina, where he led an industrious life and was known of many good qualities of heart and mind. Although he was unfortunate, yet it may be said of this grand old soldier and warm-hearted man, as was said of one of his heroes by John Hay:

“He never shirked and he never lied,
For I reckon he never knew how;
He weren’t no saint, but at judgement
I’d run my chance with Jim
‘Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn’t shook hands with him.”

On 5 Nov 1846 when George M. was 22, he married Keziah Jane McComb, daughter of McComb & Keziah (ca 1774-1856), in Medina County, Ohio. Born on 22 Apr 1825 in Wooster, Wayne County, Ohio. Keziah Jane died in Medina, Medina County, Ohio, on 8 Jul 1891; she was 66.706 Buried in Methodist/Episcopal Church Cemetery, Medina.

From Keziah Jane Mc Combs’ obituary below we see that she was raised by a man named Brewster. [Her sister Lydia’s husband James Brewster.]

In Keziah’s daughter Catherine’s marriage to Harold Harden, Keziah is named as “Kizah J. Hews”.

Census information indicates that Jane's mother was born in Pennsylvania and her father in Ohio.

Obituary, Medina County Gazette, 17 July 1891
Mrs. Jane Hitchcock was born in Wooster, Ohio, April 22, 1825. In early life her home was with a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church, whose name was Brewster. She was married to George Hitchcock in 1848 and became the mother of three sons and four daughters, three of whom are deceased. Her husband and one son were members of the great Union army that saved the nation and its flag and in the hard fought battle of Rapadan, of which the writer personnally knows, the son was added to the slain and the death of this soldier boy crushed the mother’s heart in all the years that followed.
Mrs. Hitchcock was a member of the Medina M. E. church and her old pastor, the Rev. B. J. Hoadley, assisted by Rector Harding, conducted the funeral of the deceased, and her body on Friday last was burried in the old cemetery of Medina. Her death took place on Wednesday, July 8, 1891.
Mrs. Hitchcock was greatly attached to her family and beautiful home, where tender ministration made the descent to the tomb an easy one. For years an invalid and sickness coupled with sorrow, kept her retired from society. All who knew her recognized her worth, and sympathized with her in her trials.
