JOHN LARIMORE

Was born October 7, 1831 and died on Sunday morning, April 9, at 1:15 o'clock after an illness of several months with organic heart trouble. Mr. Larimore had been in poor health for some time, and during the holidays, accompanied by his wife and daughter, Mrs. Jessie Browne, went to Jacksonville, Florida, where he spent the winter months with his son, Bruce, in the hope that the climate would benefit him. After remaining for several months he returned to his home in Granville where he rapidly declined until death ended his sufferings.

He was one of seven children, four daughters and three sons of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Larimore of near Union Station, where they were all brought up, all of whom have died except Mrs. Caroline Kirkendall of Columbus. Those preceding were Mrs. Jeheil Tedrick, Mrs. Harry Buckland, Mrs. Al Howland, Mr. Dan and James Larimore.

On November 9, 1854 Mr. Larimore was married to Miss Minerva Lane daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lane of near Union Station. To this union were born five sons and four daughters. They are Wm. G., of Union Station; George, of Oklahoma City, Okla., Richard C. of Winfield, Ks.; Bruce of Jacksonville, Fla.; Dr. Fred of Port Washington, Ohio; Mrs. John R. Black of Licking church; Mrs. Sherman White of Bucyrus; Mrs. Fannie Perry, of Delaware, and Mrs. Jessie Brown who lives at home. All of the children were at home at the time of his death excepting Mr. Bruce Larimore who arrived here Monday. All five of the sons, together with Mr. John R. Black acted as pallbearers. His children have been untiring and always ready and willing hands to every want, as their mother in the past years has been greatly hindered by failing eyesight. There are also 22 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Mr. Larimore was a prominent farmer in Union township all his life until a few years ago when he moved to Granville. In his latter years he traveled considerably visiting all his children who are widely separated. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, and was well posted on all topics.

He was a devoted husband, a thoughtful and exemplary father, and industrious and true man, a good neighbor and citizen. Having led an active business life through a long career it was hard for him to realize that he was growing old.

He became a member of the Licking Baptist church in January 1895 and remained a faithful and loyal member until he died. His former pastor in his discourse at the funeral said "It was my privilege to visit him a week ago. It was beautiful to note his love for his children and that their children, and friends generally, and a special comfort to see his faith and joy in the promise of his Savior. Repeatedly saying he was ready to go."

"The sunset speaks but fully of the glories of Another Day. All is well."

The funeral services were held from his late home on East College street, Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock and interment was made on the family lot of Richard Lane in beautiful Maple Grove cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. K. McCall of Newcomerstown, former paster of Licking Baptist Church of which the deceased was a member of a number of years.

Kirkendall and daughter Miss Louella L., and son Frank, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Larimore of Columbus, Mrs. Nancy Wiser of Marion, Ind., Mr. Wm. and Miss Belle Larimore, and Mrs. Frank Leatherman, of Outville, Mrs. Fred Rickley of Kirkersville, Mrs. J.

Hannah Minerva Lane, only daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Lane, was born April 2, 1835 and grew to womanhood on a farm in Union township. She lived a very simple and unpretentious life due to the simplicity of her surroundings.

On November 9, 1854, at the age of 19 years, she was married to John Larimore, with whom she lived happily for 66 years when he was called to precede her to his Heavenly Home. She died on the morning of July 29. Her afflictions in the latter part of her life were many, but were borne with marked patience and welcomed death as a release from her suffering.

Mrs. Larimore was the mother of 13 children, 9 of whom live to mourn the loss of a devoted christian mother. They are as follows Wm. G. of Union Station; Geo. L., Oklahoma City, Okla.; Richard C., Winfield, KY.; Bruce L., Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. Fred B., New Philadelphia, O.; Mrs. John Black, Hebron, O.; Mrs Sherman White, Bucyrus; Mrs F. L.

The funeral services were held at the home yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Dr. C. L. Williams assisted by Rev. C. N. Harford, former pastor of Licking church of which she was a member, officiating. Interment was made in Maple Grove cemetery.

The flowers were many and beautiful but not more beautiful than the mother's face that rested so peacefully among them. Thus could we leave her, and in memory keep her, as sweely reposing among the beautiful and fragrant flowers.
