Kitrisha.--Besides the obit. which says he was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, I have no information as to where he was born. The following obituary which appeared in the Fremont County Sun of April 13, 1905 gives the exact date of his death:
"It was quite a shock to the friends and neighbors of Sol Darst to hear of his death, Saturday, April 8, at 10 o'clock A.M. The cause of his death is supposed to have been a rupture. About the middle of the week, he and his son had gone for a load of hay and on the way he took quite a coughing spell, but became better and undertook to pitch a load of hay. He soon became so sick that they were compelled to return home as quickly as possible. He was then in a very critical condition, but told his family that he thought he would get well.
"Mr. Darst had recently moved from near Anderson to Militia Hollow. He leaves a wife and four children, one daughter being married. He was buried Monday, at Mt. Zion, Rev. Taylor McCracken conducting the funeral."
Have you looked at the 1860 Federal Census for Fairfield county, Ohio, to see if a Darst family was yet living there?
