WILLIAM JOHN VENN

William John Venn aged 76 years, and a highly esteemed resident of North
Bloomfield and a widely known farmer, passed away at the Warren city hospital
Monday morning, his death following an illness of several weeks with com-
plications. On Thursday of last week he was brought to the city hospital, 
but his trouble was so far advanced that the treatment given him failed to 
relieve him. Mr. Venn was a native of England and was the son of William and 
Elixebeth Venn. He was born on February 1, 1848. Fifty-four years ago he 
came to this country and located in North Bloofield on a farm. Shortly after
he had located there his bride came and they were married on her arrival.
They have spent all of their married lives in the community where they have
a large circle of friends who extend their sympathy to the family in their
bereavement. During all of the years of his residence in the commuinty he 
has been a faithful member of the Methodist church and was known as a man of
sterling character, a devoted husband and father. He is survived by his wife,
seven daughters, Mrs. Viola McIntosh, Chardon; Mrs. Ethel Bacon, Troy; Mrs. 
Grace Clarke, Mesopotamia; Mrs. Dora Griffin, Bloomfield; Mrs Mable Jackson,
North Bloomfield; Hellen and Elva Venn, at home; two sons, William and Vern 
Venn, Bloomfield, and fourteen grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at the family home on the West Road, Wednesday 
at 2 o'clock, when Rev. G. W. Peters of Columbiana, will officiate, assisted 
by Rev. D. S. Carpenter of Mesopotamia. Interment will take place in Brownwood
cemetery.
