Hey Gang,
I was trying to help my wife with her side of the family (Campbell, Rice, Pattison, Clute) when I ran across a newspaper clipping of her grandmother's.
Qoute:
" After an illness of six months, Clement W. Cherrington died at his home in Alice, Gallia County, (Ohio) Friday night, June 15, 1923, of pernicious anemia. He was nearly 72 years of age. With him when the end came were his wife; his daughter, Mrs. Lola C. Neal of Gallipolis, and his son, H. E. Cherrington of Columbus. He leaves also a brother, Ira of Cincinnati, and three sisters, Mrs. Kate Edwards of 1720 Summit street; and Mrs. John T. Oqer and Lydia Cherrington of Hamden.
In his early life the deceased was a school teacher for 20 years, but he devoted his middle age to mercantile pursuits and his later life to farming. He was formerly a resident of Wellston. He was a devout member of the Methodist church, in which he has served as teacher or Sunday School Superintendent almost continuously for 45 years.
Mr. Cherrington lived in Gallipolis for some time and was well known to a large number of people here who will regret learning of his death." End Quote.
Evidently this is someone Jennie Campbell Rice (my wife's grandmother) knew and was possibly related to by marriage.
