Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 9 Apr 1897, Article No. 12 by Dr. Jackson Truesdale
Excerpt:
"Jonah Scovil's name has already appeared in connection with an attempt to build a saw mill. He came to Canfield in the spring of 1801; his wife, children and mother-in-law, Mrs. Bailey, in the fall of the same year. Mrs. Bailey remained in Canfield until 1809, when at the age of 61 she rode on horseback to Philadelphia to make her home afterwards with a son. After leaving the mill Mr. Scovil purchased two 60-acre lots on West Center street, north side, probably the lot on which H. M. Osborn lives, and the lot west of it. Soon after bought from Homer Hine two 8-acre lots on the south side, and on one of these and on or very near the site of Dr. Cessna's (J. I. Manchester's) residence he built the third frame dwelling in Canfield. He died in August, 1813, aged 41, one of the victims of the terrible epidemic of that year. His wife, Mabel, survived him some 41 or 42 years, dying in 1856 at the age of 85. Before and after the husband's death they kept a public house, or what was then called a tavern. Mrs. Scovil was for many years a zealous and helpful member of the M. E. Church. The couple had five children, of whom one died early. The eldest, Permilia, married Edward, a son of Gen. Wadsworth. Mrs. Mary Beardsley of Canfield, the Misses' Hine of Youngstown and William, late of same place, are grandchildren, Chester Hunt a great-grandson. Mr. Scovil's oldest son, Wm. A., died in South America in 1825, aged 25. Frances Mary, the youngest, is still fresh in the memory of many of us. A noble looking woman, and no doubt in her youth handsome. She married John C. Reed, a medical student of Dr. C. R. Fowler, but I think did not complete his studies or practice medicine. He built the house now occupied by the widow Hake, but at first it stood on ground a little west of Orange Fales' residence. To this couple were born William H. and Mary C. The husband died in 1858. The mother and children many years ago removed to Jacksonville, Ill. The daughter, Mary, a beautiful woman, married a rising young attorney in Illinois. Joseph Cannon, who for many years has been a member of congress, a man of national reputation, and who is familiarly known now as "Uncle Joe." Uncle Joe recently reached out for Senator Palmer's shoes in the United States senate; but another man more fortunate now wears the coveted shoes."
