     Nancy Albough, daughter of David and Rebecca Albaugh, was born

one surviving, Eli Albough of Clyde. She grew to womanhood in Crawford
county, and was married to Lewis Mesnard, May 9, 1867. With her husband
she moved here about 30 years ago, and for many years they lived on the 
Limerick road, coming to Clyde about a year ago.
     To this union 7 children were born, all of whom survive except two,
George, who died Feb. 27, 1873, and Frank who passed away Dec. 6th.
Those living in Clyde are Mrs. W. A. Sargeant, Charles and Corman
Mesnard. Elmer and Earl Mesnard reside at Whitehouse, Ohio. Mrs. Mesnard
joined the M. E. church many years ago and was also an ardent worker in 
the W.C.T.U. She was a faithful and patient mother and leaves many
friends to mourn her loss.
