Parents were Jacob John and Mary Mollie(Davis)Cron. Married Nancy Woodcox 8/9/1832
Nicholas Cron, one of the early settlers of Piqua and Miami County, Ohio, departed this life in Huntersville after a brief illness of lung trouble. At four o'clock Friday, December 2, 1887, his spirit quietly winged its flight to the Creator, there to enjoy the happiness of a reunion for all eternity. Mr. Cron was born near Columbus, Ohio, on Walnut creek, January 7, 1810, and came to Piqua when three years old. He has resided here ever since, being aged at his death 77 years, 10 months and 5 days. For a long time he had resided in Huntersville. In 1834, he married Miss Nancy Wood, who preceded him to the heavenly abode in 1876. He was a gentleman of sterling worth and was regarded as a good, kind husband, father and citizen, and in his death, Piqua and Huntersville has lost a friend and an enterprising man. Living man can do naught for the dead, but the memory of the dead, who have lived and died worthily, is a precious heritage to the living. So lived and died Nicholas Cron. The friend we all mourn was thoroughly a man--a gentleman. Strong in his convictions and fearless in living up to them, the very soul of honor, warm and staunch in his friendships, he was genial and charming, making friends without effort, and without effort keeping them fast bound to him. Never losing the dignity of manner which was native to him, he delighted in the society of his friends, and the exercise of hospitality was to him not only a pleasure but almost a sacred duty. Intellectually, he was equipped with a mind remarkably logical, which, by the aid of a memory that may well be called prodigious, had become enriched with learning. He was the first wood turner ever engaged in that industry in Piqua, and his steadiness and skill at his work made for him the name of the best. He leaves a family of children; L. C., Jack and Henry. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the family residence in Huntersville, services conducted by Rev. A. N. Carson, interment at Forest Hill Cemetery. While we can not presume to offer words of consolation to his family in their inexpressible loss, we extend them sympathy in their bereavement, for the stroke that has smitten them has touched us also. ~ MIAMI HELMET ~ December 1887
