Word came up town last Friday just as we went to press, announc- ing the death of Mr. John Gray, one of the oldest residents of Mid- dleburg township. He has lived for many years in what is known as the Gray settlement, three miles north of Berea. The funeral was held on Sunday at the school house in that neigh- borhood, conducted by Rev. Frank Williams of Avon. The burial occurred at Woodvale cemetery. Thus one by one, the first settlers of this town pass from sight and join the great majority on the oth- er shore. John Gray was born in Euclid, O., April 21, 1822. He was nine yrs. old when he came with his father's family to Rockport, and subse- quently to Middleburg. He was married April 4, 1847 to Sophronia Greenough. Of thirteen children, eight grew up and are all still liv- ing, namely: Albert, Helen, Lovina, Mabel, John M., Emma, Merritt and Arthur. ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 21:41:42 -0400 From: William King Subject: Obit, Crowley King, Berea, OH 1906 The Berea Enterprise Aug 21, 1906 CRUSHED BY CARS Mr. Crowley King son of the late A.A. King, was killed while coup- ling cars in Cleveland, last Friday. The deceased was a Berea boy, hav- ing lived here all his life until some three years ago, when the family moved to Cleveland. The Funeral was held last Sunday and the remains were brought to Berea and placed in the vault at Woodvale, by Undertaker Eckert. The burial took place Thursday. Four members of Pearl Tent K.O. T.M. accompanied the remains to Berea. The deceased carried an in- surance in the Maccabees. Mrs. King, formerly Miss Maybelle Gray, of West Middleburg, is left with but one son, Clyde, having buried her husband and three sons. Crowley had worked just fifteen days for the raliroad when killed. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. King and son in their succession of bereave- ments. ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 22:47:03 -0400 From: Tom Ramsey Subject: TAX LIST, 1834 Logan Co., Perry Twp.
