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."
