Jeremiah Claypool was born Jan. 23, 1836, in Ross county, Ohio, and died at his home in Marshall on July 29, 1910, aged 74 years, six months and six days.
He was married to Susan F. Sinclair in 1856. To this union five children were born--one son, Willie, who died when six years old, and four daughters, who with the widow survive him.
The daughters are Mrs. Roy Miller of Dolson, Mrs. E. G. Coons, of Louisburg, Kas., Mrs. Frank Hurst of Marshall, and Mrs. Arthur Johnson of Terre Haute.
Mr. Claypool came to Illinois with his father in early childhood and settled on a farm in Dolson township, and there with five brothers and one sister grew to manhood. Four brothers and one sister still survive and all except the sister, Mrs. Lefler, live in this county. There are also living seven grandchildren and one great grandchild.
In early life he became a member of the Christian church at Blue Grass and remained a member for many years when the class was broken up, but did not identify himself with the church after coming to Marshall.
On May 28, 1906, he was stricken with paralysis and since that time he has not been able to talk or walk and went only when he could be taken in his wheel chair. He was a constant sufferer for over four years. He was always glad to meet his old friends and though he could not talk to them, he would greet them with a handshake and a smile.
The funeral service was conducted at the home on South 5th street Sunday, by Rev. Robert Griffin and the remains were laid to rest in the Marshall cemetery.
