Here a bunch of Athens County Obituaries that were compiled by Mildred A. Bleigh and Mary A. Davis 1991.
They aren't that I can tell related to my Thomas Scott and Phoebe Drake that were married in Athens November 27, 1850 but may help someone else. They all seem to be related. The dates may be off as I couldn't tell if the date belonged at the top of bottom of the article. Happy Hunting.

Winnie Scott passes Away in Columbus.
Mr. Winfield K. Scott, of the business firm of Thompson & Scott of this city, passed away at the home of his parents in Columbus this morning at 9 o’clock, after several months’ illness of a complication of troubles.
Early in the summer when his condition unfitted him for business, he with Mrs. Scott went to Columbus where he took treatment from skilled physicians, but he gradually grew weaker and it has been known to his many friends here for several weeks that his illness was hopeless, so the announcement of his death does not come as a surprise, but will ****** profound regret throughout the city where he spent his entire life and was widely know and highly respected.
He was prominently identified with secret orders of this city, having served as presiding officer of all the Masonic orders and of the Elks.
The time and place of the funeral has not been determined upon further than that it will be in Athens and will be conducted by the Knights Templar.
