Urbana -- June 5, 1886
JH Ford of Crayon, aged about 24, died last night of congestion of the lungs

St Paris-June 8, 1886
JH Ford, a young man 24 years old and living at Crayon northeast of Millerstown, died Friday of congestion of the lungs.

Concord - The death of Harry Ford jr, removes from among us one of our substantial young men. He was of a quiet, genial disposition, and held perhaps as nearly as any other man, the universal friendship of everybody that knew him. He was the oldest son of Hines Ford, a well known and highly esteemed citizen of this township. For a number of years, he was an acceptable member of the IOOF, and was by them buried, the various members of his own Lodge at Careysville, Quincy, Palestine and Spring Hills participating in the interment. He was in his twenty-eighth year. The funeral procession was undoubtedly the largest ever seen in the county, there being two hundred and twenty-five vehicles in the procession. The funeral discourse was preached at Neer Chapel, by the Rev Mr Smith. His mother preceded him to the grave about one year

Joseph Hensier joined the IOOF lodge in 1865, and Harry Ford in 1856 or '57. The lodge was then at Tawawa; in 1874 removed to Careysville, and about ten years ago to Rosewood. It retained its number, 253 IOOF, now Rosewood No 253
