Percival, Moses Cook - DIED -- On Saturday, January 8, 1881, Moses Cook Percival, aged 62 years, 8 months and 18 days. Moses Cook Percival, son of Milton and Hannah Percival, was born in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, April 20, 1818. He settled in Clear Creek township, Ashland County, on his farm on the Olivesburg Road, three miles south of Savannah, in 1850, where he lived until his death. He was twice married. His first wife, Mary Wright, bore him five children, four of whom are now living. One daughter is the wife of Ebenezer Shriver, one is the wife of Joshua Ford, both of Ashland County; one daughter is now living in Texas; one son, Joshua Milton, is now a physician in Perrysville; one son, Moses Cook, a minister of the M.E. church, died in 1878. Mrs. Percival died June 3, 1857. January 11, 1859, Mr. Percival was again married, to Margaret Ann Scott, who still survives her husband. She bore three children, James Gates, now married and living on the farm; Grace D., and Alice Scott, living with their mother at the old homestead. The Percival family lives in history. The name Percival is derived from the ancient Percy family, belonging to the northern counties of England. They were known as "Percy DeValle, or Percy of the Valley" hence the name in familiar speech, Percival. The American branch of the family first settled in Marblehead, Mass., before 1700. In England the family may be easily traced to the barons who lived in the time of William the Conqueror. They were related to the renowned English statesman, Spencer Percival. Moses Cook Percival was a full cousin of the geologist, botanist, linguist, but better known as the poet, James Gates Percival. Very little is known by the writer of the early history of Mr. Percival and his father's family.Like most other good men, he commended life his own way up through the world, and he was quite successful, for, having educated his children, and been liberal in his gifts to the church and educational institutions, he still leaves a good farm and two hundred acres, and personal property. He was much interested in the educational interests of our country, and was often found in the school-house, giving instruction and encouragement to both teacher and pupil. He took an active part in lyceums, and it was his intention to attend the society the Thursday night of the day that death commenced its fatal work upon his body. He held township and school district offices many years. He was a good citizen and neighbor, he believed in the golden rule and practiced it in his life. The community suffers a loss in his death. He was a kind and devoted father to his family -- he spared nothing that his children might be brought up to the highest Christian culture. As a Christian he was a faithful and devoted follower of the Master, having been a member of the Methodist church about forty years. He attended his church in Savannah on the Sabbath preceding the day of his death. He took an active part in the service, and in his remarks he spoke very hopeful, as to the future, saying he was prepared to die. Though afflicted many years, and had suffered much, and had come many times to where the shores of time border on to eternity, yet he always manifested a spirit of patience. On Thursday, the 6th. of January, he took with a slight stroke of apoplexy, and, complicated with heart and lung diseases, the triune citadels of life had to give way before the last foe to man. He was unconscious during the attack, but now and then flashes of consciousness, like waves of light over the dark billows of the troubled waters, broke upon his mind, and during one of these he was heard to say "A living monument of God's amazing mercy." On Saturday he passed from labor to reward. His funeral took place on Sabbath, Jan. 9, at the Ashland M.E. church, conducted by the writer and Rev. M.F. Warner. On the Sabbath following the writer held a memorial service in the Methodist church at Savannah. -- Rev. M.J. Keyes. ASHLAND PRESS: 03 February 1881, Vol. XXXV, No. 29 Submitted by Amy

Phillips, G.C.

Phillips, John -- In the death of John Phillips, which occurred Monday evening, Jan. 6. Troy township lost one of its oldest pioneers and most widely known citizens, one who in the past years had been prominent in the advancement of this region from its primeval condition and a foremost factor in the local affairs of both church and state. He had been in feeble health for several years and the cause of his death remains a mystery in part, as the several advising physicians failed to agree or give him any general satisfaction during his sufferings. He was aged 75 years, 5 months, and 27 days. The deceased was born in Inverury, Scotland, July 9, 1826, and came to the United States with his parents when he was but a small boy. The most of his life was spent in this neighborhood. He married Miss Mary Anne Parker, daughter of Rev. Seeley Parker, a former well known minister in these parts, Nov. 2, 1848, and by this union was the father of four sons and one daughter; viz, John W., Seeley P., George, Clark, and Julia, wife of Wilson Frizzle, of Savannah. Seeley died several years ago and Clark is located in England. The others were present at his bedside during his late illness. His companion, having passed to her reward February 12, 1885, he again took on the martial vows Nov. 3, 1886, the second wife being Mrs. Elizabeth Elliott, of Williams county, but formerly of Orange township, this county. She survivies him as does also a brother, Alexander. He was a member of the local M. E. church and among the chief counselors in matters pertaining to the same. He held high positions in the chlurch for many years being recording steward on the circuit for 30 years and quite often was the delegate to the lay conference. He was well known by the presiding elders and ministers of the North Ohio conference in the deliberations of which he took an active part and was prized for his methodical and faithful laborer. He gave his heart to God and joined the church when he was only 16 years of age and thus has given all the strength of his manhood to the service of his Master and the church. He was brought to Christ at Savannah, Ohio, in a meeting held by the famous Quigley, who was assisted by the presiding elder, John H. Power. In his early experience he had a struggle in his mind over the controversy between Calvinists and Arminians and in his last day he dwelt much on a conversation he had with the illustrious Adam Poe, who finding him a boy only 16 years of age, sat down on a log in the woods and poured the light of his own great soul into the mind of this troubled boy and brought him through his struggle into a joyous and victorious life. He was a Free Mason and very much devoted to the order, being a member of the lodge at Sullivan. He belonged to that class of citizens of which a death is a severe loss to any community. Thefuneral services were held at the M.E. church on Thursday morning at 11 o'clock, being conducted by the pastor Rev. E. L. Smith, assisted by Rev. B. Hushour, of Savannah. The six grandsons acted as pall bearers. These rites were attended by an exceeding large number of relatives and neighbors, as well as many friends from a distance, among whom were Addison Bentz and John R. Phillips, of Ashland; Wm. and James Elliott, of Williams Co.; Joshua Bowman and wife, of Polk; William Alberson and daughter, Mrs. Vinton Rudy of Savannah; James VanOrman, of Wellington; Lee Fortney and wife, of Nankin; J.
