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.

Excerpts from a profile of John's son, Albert Larimore, taken from 'Past and present of the city of Quincy and Adams County, Illinois' Published 1905 by S. J. Clarke Pub. Co. in Chicago. pages 752-753.

Albert W. Larimore is the owner of valuable farming property in Payson township. He was born December 11, 1839, in Hampshire county, West Virginia, and is a son of JOHN W. and ELIZABETH (Fahs) Larimore, both of whom were natives of West Virginia, born near Romney, in Hampshire county. The first representatives of the Larimore family in America came from Ireland and as far as is known settled first in West Virginia. There were five brothers who crossed the Atlantic to the new world and one of these became a resident of Ohio. His paternal grandparents were James and Susan (Wolverton) Larimore. His maternal grandparents both died in West Virginia. The grandfather was a blacksmith by trade and followed that pursuit throughout his entire business career.

John W. Larimore was a farmer by occupation and thus provided for his family, which numbered six children, Albert W. being the eldest. The others were: Isaac M., James A., Mrs. Rebecca Price, William and Naomi. The last named died when twenty years of age and was buried in Shiloh cemetery. William was wounded in the battle of Shiloh, April 6, 1862 and died just a week later. His father went south for his remains and the interment was made in Shiloh cemetery, in Adams county.
