As we have gone through the elections, we couldn’t help noticing that there are many cruel and unusual names. This week I present to you John C. Death. It’s a little morbid but of course all of the people of the Early Republic are dead. I find myself wondering if John C. Death was like the boy in the 1999 movie Sixth Sense who’s character could have been named I. C. Deadpeople.

I.C. Deadpeople?

John C. Death ran to for the office of State Representative of Ohio from the counties of Clinton and Warren.  He was a vetern of the War of 1812.  And his cruel father was Hugh Death.
