HON. EDWIN CLEMENT
LORENZO STRONG

where for seven years he was pastor of the Congregational Church of that place. At this time, being completely broken down in health, he re- turned to his home in Strongsville, where he remained a few months, un- til he received his final call to the Great Beyond, on August 26, 1880, a few months before reaching the mature age of 60 years.
Mr. White's chief characteristics were strict integrity of the stern New England type, industry to excess, frugality and perseverance. In possession of these qualities, success was assured in whatever he under- took. As a reformer, he was always in the front ranks, taking an active part in the Anti-Slavery discussions immediately before and during the Civil War. Later, he was prominently identified with the temperance cause in all its phases. Socially, he was popular in every community in which he resided. His sound common sense, together with the practical view which he took of men and things, and the deep interest he always manifested in local affairs, caused his advice to be much sought for. The strong sympathetic chord which pervaded his nature rendered him espe- cially popular at weddings and funerals, at which he was frequently call- ed long distances to officiate. He was quite literary in his tastes, being conversant with authors and poets, both ancient and modern. He wrote poems for recreation and many of his productions have been deemed by good critics worthy of publication.
BENONI BARTLETT was the second of the ten children of Seth and Rebecca Bartlett, and was born in Otisco, N. Y., December 29, 1812. Seth Bartlett and family, in company with the family of Mr. Newton Thayer, drove from New York with ox teams in January 1819, requiring four weeks for the journey through a snowy wilderness. Much of Benoni Bartlett's early life was spent in clearing the home farm in Strongsville and in working at the carpenter's trade with his father, helping him erect several buildings which are now old land marks. Among these is the Old White Church, now converted into a barn.
January 24, 1836, Mr. Bartlett married Lucy Lyman, who was born March 27, 1816, the seventh of the ten children of Elijah and Irene Ly- man, and to this happy union were born four children: Mrs. Delia S. Bak- er, who died February 21, 1857; Dr. H. H. Bartlett of Los Angeles, Cal .;
124
Mrs. Hattie E. Dyke of Berkeley, Cal .; and Dr. L. B. Bartlett of Charle- voix, Mich. In 1885 they celebrated their golden wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett in 1851 moved to Olmsted, O., where they made their home until the fall of 1893 when, with their daughter and eldest son they moved to California. They spent the remainder of their days with their daughter, Mrs. Dyke, Mrs. Bartlett died at Artesia, Cal., July 2, 1895, and Mr. Bartlett followed February 28, 1896. Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett were; from youth, members of the 1st Congregational Church at Strongs- ville, and in the active part of their lives were earnest and prominent workers both in the church and Sabbath School.
MOSES O. BENNETT was the first settler in the extreme south eastern part of Strongsville. It was from him that Bennetts Corners re- ceived its name. He kept a store of general merchandise at the Cor- ners and had, also, a large ashery. Mr. Bennett's family consisted of eight children: Prosper, Leonard, George, Pharis, Calista, Hedelia, Per- melia and Lydia. Mr. Bennett moved to Wisconsin in 1848. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were members of the 1st Congregational Church .at Strongs- ville.
TIMOTHY CLARK and wife Fanny sold to S. Ellsworth and wife, their house and lot in Westfield, Mass., and S Ellsworth deeded to the said Clark 100 acres of lind in Strongsville, whence they came in the spring of 1821, and purchased 100 more acres of Mr. Strong. Mr. Clark was closely identified with the early settlement of Strongsville. Being a man of good education and address, he was well qualified to act as Justice of the Peace and Township Clerk, and these offices he held during his life time, his death occurring sometime in the 50's Mr. Clark's family consisted of five children: Timothy, Jr., settled in New- burgh, married a daughter of Judge Miles there and opened the first dry goods store in the place. His health failed him and he died of consumption August 15, 1830, while on a visit to his father; Charles Carlos, died May 25, 1827, at the age of 22 years, a young man loved by all; Horatio died May 30, 1827; Fannie Maria, married Harmon Stone; and Rosaline, the youngest, married Mr. Tarry, who was accidentally killed in July 1862. Mrs. Tarry's death occurred at Litchfield, Ohio, in 1891.

SILAS FISH, who settled at Albion in 1834, came from Barnard, Vermont, bringing with him his family, consisting of his wife, Elethea H., and two children: Nathaniel C. and Elizabeth C. The latter married J. D. Baker, and died in 1845, leaving one son, Truman. After the arri- val of the family in Strongsville, one daughter, Martha Ann, was born. She married Cyrus Robinson, and they live at West Superior, Wis. They had three children: Clarence, Emma, who died in 1893, and Roy. In Al- bion, Mr. Fish and son established the cabinet and undertaking business, manufacturing their goods, according to the custom of those days, by hand. In the year 1847, they bought fifty acres of land which, later, the son purchased. Mr. Fish died March 26, 1848.
Nathaniel Corydon Fish married Harriet Townly Brown of York, O., and lived on the homestead until his death which occurred January 9, 1894. Mrs. Fish, who is now 83 years of age, is living with her son.
Frank Fish, who resides on the old homestead, is the only son of N. C. Fish. He married Frances L. Bowman of Lafayette, O., and their children are Emma M., Hattie L., Edwin S., Ellethea F. and Corinne C.

Charles F. Poots,
Ona J. Winsor,

The company left Berea, April 26, 1898; remained in Cleveland un- til the 29th when they left for Columbus, arriving at the latter place in the evening of the same day. At Columbus the regiment was mustered into the service of the U. S. and remained at that place until May 17, when they left for Tampa, Fla., arriving at that place on the evening of the 21st. On reaching Tampa they were assigned to the 7th Army Corps under command of Major General Fitz Hugh Lee. The regiment was afterwards a part of the 5th Army Corps under Gen. Shafter and later of the 4th Army Corps under Gen. Coppinger. Owing to the prev- alence of the rainy season and the unhealthiness of the camp they left Tampa for Fernandina, Fla , in July. Here the regiments remained un- til September 12, when the regiment departed for Cleveland. After a 30 days furlough, the regiment was mustered out at Cleveland, Novem- ber 5th, 1898.
