DEATH'S CALL
Answered by Ralph A. Randall, Auditor Elect of Medina County

The End Came Unexpectedly Tuesday Evening After an Illness That Baffled the Physicians. Had Been Long Ailing, Something of His Life and Work.

This community was shocked and deeply saddened Tuesday evening by the announcement of the death of Ralph A. Randall, auditor elect of Medina county and a member of the board of county examiners. The end came at about 7:30 that evening, after a singular illness that had baffled and perplexed the skill and knowledge of his physicians for months past. He had never enjoyed robust health, having been delicate from childhood. A catarrhal condition of the stomach, much aggravated during the past two years had made him an almost continuous sufferer. For relief from this trouble, he went to Cleveland Hospital last summer and for several weeks was under the care of Dr. John P. Sawyer. He received but little benefit, and after returning home his ill health was aggravated by symptoms of serious nerve trouble, that at times completely prostrated him. For some weeks past, he had suffered at times excruciating pain at the back of his head, and during one of these attacks of intense pain and nervous prostration on March 19, he was rendered unconscious for a number of hours. But he rallied, and placed himself under the care of Dr. W. D. Wise a local physician. He was able to go to Cleveland for examination and treatment three times during the past two weeks, and the Cleveland physician gave him the strongest hope of ultimate recovery, diagnosing his case as one of acute gastritis with sympathetic nervous affection.
But from time to time he suffered from attacks of the terrible pain in the head, and appeared to his friends to be losing ground. Last week, he seemed better, and was on the street last Saturday. Monday he showed symptoms of nervous collapse and a return of one of the attacks of terrible pain in the head, and during much of the night unconscious or in great pain. Tuesday the suffering and unconsciousness continued until about 4:00 O'clock in the afternoon, when he seemed to rally and grow materially better. His physician then left him hopeful of the outcome, but an hour later was hurriedly summoned again to find that respiration had ceased, and complete unconsciousness ensued. Artificial respiration and the most powerful heart stimulants were at once resorted to by the doctors, and good respiration and almost normal heart action restored.
For two hours and a half Drs. Wise and Freeman kept the fleeting spark of life glowing in the suffering body, but consciousness did not return and at 7:35 O'clock the fight for life had to be given over, and the brave spirit of Ralph H. Randall took its flight from earth.
Wednesday forenoon a postmortem examination was held conducted by Drs. Wise and Freeman, and attended by Drs. Jones and Damon. The cause of death was found to be a gathering of water at the base of the brain, causing fatal pressure on the vital nerve center there, immediate dissolution being due to the paralyzing effect on the breathing function of the brain center. The watery gathering was due to long standing inflammation of the covering membranes of the lower brain, caused perhaps by a sunstroke received six or seven years ago, and aggravated by over work and too long mental application. Nearly a cupful of water was found in the brain ventricles.
The funeral was held Thursday after-noon at 1:30 at the house and at 2:00 at the Congregational church, conducted by Rev. Jesse Hill. Few funerals ever held in Medina have been more largely attended, and the marked sorrow and grief of the large assemblage were a heart-felt tribute to the love and high esteem in which the deceased was every where held. Burial was made at Spring Grove cemetery. There are left to mourn him a wife, infant son, and two brothers, for all of whom the sincerest sympathy is expressed throughout this community.
The biography of the deceased must necessarily be brief, for his life was short. It is the story of a noble spirit struggling against adverse circumstances up to success and wide esteem. His recent canvas of his county for the office of auditor had made him known to most of its citizens, and the fact that he secured the Republican nomination for that highly-prized office, without a competitor in the field, tells how highly he was regarded by all men who met him and made even the slightest acquaintance with him. His brief biography was characteristically told by himself in the columns of the Gazette where, as a candidate for office, he addressed himself to the Republican voters of the county, and we shall here reprint those words of his own, for they glow with the modesty, honesty, courage and splendid manhood of the deceased. He said: "I was born in Lafayette township in 1878, and have since spent the greater part of my life in Medina county. For the past 12 years I have been engaged: in school teaching, seven of which I spent in Mallet Creek; the last two in Litchfield. In 1906 I was appointed county school examiner which position I now hold. I think I realize the importance and responsibility of the office to which I aspire, and shall, if nominated and elected, thoroughly devote my energies and ability to its successful administration, striving to perform faithfully and impartially, without fear or favor, any official duties involving friend or foe, rich or poor, corporation or individual, with justice for all and malice toward none."

Note: It is clear from the text, substantiated by competent 21st century medical specialists, Ralph A. Randall died of a form of spinal-meningitis. It is very strange the doctors, at that time, were not prepared to make an accurate diagnosis and to, possibly, save or prolong his life.

Note: It is reported that Theo had such a violent temper and treated his family so badly when living in Michigan that during a trip his wife, Carolyn Emelia, in the dead of night called in some neighbors, loaded all the family belongings into wagons, put all the contents on a train and returned to Ohio never to see or speak of him a- gain. Following the departure of his family, Theodorus may have received his teaching credential at Oberlin College. On his return from a winter vacation in Florida, Theo had his pocket picked in Atlanta and was thrown off his train. He slept on a park bench, caught pneumonia and was taken, it is believed, to Wesley Hospital, where he died. His son, James Pemberton Randall was working for the railroad in Missouri and got a pass to go to Atlanta and claim the body. He was buried in Marietta National Cemetery (see Randall records) never to be spoken of again in the family circles. (Carolyn Randall Worrall, telephone conversation of December 3, l998)

PEMBERTON RANDALL
In his book entitled "The Wonderful Tent" Rev. D. A. Randall, D. D. is written, and from which we learn that "Rev. Pemberton Randall was one of seven children born to James Randall and his wife Joanna Pemberton. The parents were able to bestow upon their children little less than those inestimable bonus -- good blood and Christian influences. The Randalls originated in bonnie Scotland, in the stirring annals of which country the family name is not obscure. The Pembertons sprang from sturdy English stock, possessed of both ability and nobility. Joanna was a direct descendant of Ebenezer Pemberton, D. D., one of the early distinguished pastors of Old South Church, Boston. Both father and mother were native New Englanders."
Rev. Pemberton Randall departed this life at the home of his daughter, with whom be and his wife were living, Mrs. S. A. R. McGeah, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning January 4, 1891, being a little past 81 years of age. He was born in Lebanon, Connecticut. In early life, in fact in the Autumn of 1826, he and his brother, Rev. Austin Randall, D.D., embraced the Christian religion in a revival meeting held by Rev. David Marks, a Free Will Baptist revivalist who came to a neighboring church and began a series of meetings. In addition to attending the meetings for some three weeks, these brothers alone or in concert, engaged daily in scripture readings, praying or in meditation. Both made a public profession of religion and on the day before Christmas were, by Elder Haskel, pastor of the local church, baptized in the Canandaigua Lake. Pemberton adopted the doctrine of the revivalist, and in due time became a cultivated and conscientious minister of the Free Will Church. Soon after his conversion he removed to Ohio, and after receiving a common school education, he pursued a classical course for two years in Geanga Seminary. In 1840 he was ordained by Elder Cyrna Coltrin and Warner Beebe. His labors have been with churches in northern Ohio. He has been an able preacher, his sermons being clear, logical and strong arguments in favor of the religion of Christ. Young ministers have always considered it a great privilege to listen to him preaching, and although over 80 years of age his mental powers were clear and strong, and the Free Will Baptist quarterly meetings were often blessed with his presents and counsel. In February 1834 he was joined in marriage to Maria T. Beebe, who died in February, 1839, and in 1840, he was married to Sarah C. Foster. He was the father of ten children, five of whom and his wife survive him. He was regarded as one of the strongest intellectual and Scriptural preachers of the denomination to which he belonged, and of which he was a worthy and honored member. His membership was transferred from Spencer, Ohio, to the Free Will Baptist church of Minneapolis, Minnesota where his wife is also a member. He was able to converse intelligently to the last, and died trusting in Jesus for the life upon which he has entered and the immortality of the glory world.
His remains arrived in Medina Wednesday morning, accompanied by his wife and son-in-law, Mr. J. A. McGeah, and funeral services Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. in Medina in the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. O. H. Damon and assisted by resident and other ministers of their denominations.

Rev. Pemberton Randall, farmer and minister is among the acceptable and efficient ministers who, for
many years past, have proclaimed the glad tidings of the Gospel, and endeavored with anxious solicitude to administer to the spiritual needs of sinful humanity in this county.
1807, October 6: He was born in Lebanon. Township, New London County, Connecticut, of a family of three sons and four daughters, he being the eldest of his brothers and the second of the number born. His parents were James and Joanna (Pemberton) Randall. His place of birth was in Chatham, Connecticut, in December
1778, his wife being born in August, two years later, in the same state. The Randalls are of Scotch and
the Pembertons of English descent. Mr. Randall's father was a blacksmith, which trade he followed nearly his entire life. Our subject's early life was spent in the agricultural districts, and while he attended school to some extent, his hands were not strangers to the use of the implements of husbandry. About the age of 20, he embarked for himself, having obtained education sufficient to enable him to teach the " young idea," which vocation he followed during the winter, and working by the month on the farm, $10 being his compensation per month at the time he embarked in the profession. Until 31 years of age, he was thus alternately employed. Three years later, he married Maria T. Beebe, who was born in Ontario County, New York and then moved westward to this county, locating in Granger Township. Being impressed that it was his duty to enter the ministry, and the better to qualify himself
for that important position, he attended Geauga College, and studied the languages until he obtained satisfactory knowledge of the same. Upon his return, came to Medina, where he had the pastoral charge of the Free-Will Baptist Church at that place for some time, and since has preached regularly up to 1878, and at regular intervals up to the present time. He has been instrumental in doing much good,
and through his efforts many have been caused to turn from the error of their ways and found comfort and salvation through the atoning merits of the Redeemer. Mr. Randall's father moved to this county in 1838, and settled in Granger; finally moved to Summit County, where he died in 1849; his wife survived him until 1854. Of the brothers of our subject living are D. P. Randall, now of Sharon Township, and David A., who is the author of that interesting work entitled "The Handwriting of God in Sinai and the Holy Land." He resides in Cleveland. One sister is in Medina Township, Catherine, now Mrs. W. H. Witter. To Mr. Randall have been born ten children; but five of the number are living Theodore B.; Thomas P.; Maria T., now Mrs. G. 0. Chapman; Sarah A., Mrs. Mc Kay, and Lydia B. T. B. is now teaching in this county; Thomas P. is in Lincoln County, Kansas also Mrs. Chapman; Mrs. Mc Kay is in Cleveland; Lydia B. at home. Mr. Randall has always been a man of great industry, never desiring to be idle. Early in life, he took up the trade of his father, and has had for many years on his place a shop, in which he spends much of his time in mending and keeping in repair such implements and tools as may need such attention upon his farm.
Though never much interested in political matters, yet he has always been Republican in sentiment. He sent three of his sons to defend the flag of our Union. David A. died in the service; Theodore B. served three years in Company K, 8th 0.V.I. Thomas P. was in the 166th, and re-enlisted and served until the close of the war. Mr. Randall's youngest son met with a tragic death by the discharge of a gun in his own hands in December, 1879, while in Kansas. He was 23 years of age.
