Note: The following letter was written to Alice Mae Hale from Ann a Marie Randall for inclusion in the biography, "Ralph A. Hale, 1875-1905" Post Box 173, Pasadena 16, California 14 November 1943 Dear Nephew Ralph: Your very interesting and most welcome letter reached me duly, and I was more than pleased to receive it, and to learn what the Global War had found for you to do. Recently I came across an article in the encyclopedia of American Biography which reminded me of the request your mother made just after I came to California. A request to compile information concerning the earlier generations of Randalls, from the English Puritan immigrants, Boston 1640, on down. I believe three Randall brothers came to the Boston settlement, Horatio, Marcellus, and John. As I understand it, we are the lineal descendants of Marcellus. And there is a book, written by your great-great uncle, David Austin Randall, a Baptist clergyman of Columbus, Ohio, who travelled considerably in Europe and the Orient. This book, entitled, "The Wonderful Tent," published about 1880, has in its preface a biographical sketch of the author. All the ancient part of which, and I believe it traces family history back into the highlands of Scotland, where "the family name is not obscure" . . . all that part is as interesting to my generation and to yours as it was to the author, for we belong to the clan. Your great grandfather Randall was the author's brother. I do not have a copy of the book, and I know of no one who does, but, of course, if you ever have the time, in Washington, D.C. you can request a copy in the Congressional Library, and sit down therein to read the preface. I mentioned the article in American Biography, which is a sketch of D. A. Randall's life. There is also an article about his son, my father's cousin, Emilius Oviatt Randall, an attorney and author of Columbus, 0hio. Your great grandfather, Pemberton Randall, (also a Baptist clergyman) was born in Connecticut, son of James and Joanna Pemberton Randall. His grandfather, John Randall, served throughout the American Revolution. His mother, Joanna, was a direct descendant of the Reverend Ebenezer Pemberton, one of the early distinguished pastors of the Old South Meetinghouse, Boston. In the New Old South Church in Boston is a bronze tablet, honoring his memory. He was Old Sough's minister for seventeen years. We read the tablet when we once attended a morning service at the New Old South. Joanna's father, Patrick Grant Pemberton, was also a soldier in the Continental Army. Dorus has a great store of information about our forebears but I never seemed to have the time to study it very much. I am terribly proud of my family, past and present, and I love them, that's all I have ever had time for. When you or your mother wrote suggesting that I make a brief historical sketch for you, I was barely able to do more than make myself a cup of tea. I have rested a very great deal and am much better now, however. I have learned to recognize a great. many new kinds of trees, flowers, and birds, have learned the touch method in typing, and am now learning Russian. It really made me happy to find I could learn it quite as fast as the others in the war language course. My business, if you remember, was teaching foreign language, and on my desk is a row of Bibles in which I read a few verses every day, in all six languages. When I can read Russian, that will make seven. English, among them, of course. I can also make a loaf of bread, and do so once a week. It is made with yeast. I have not bought a loaf of bread since February last. Sorry my ribbon is so dim, and that I have run over on to the fourth sheet. Hard to make a handsome young nephew wade through so much, for you must have very little leisure, since there is a war on. With all good wishes, and kindest love to you and yours, I am Ever affectionately yours, AUNT MARIE 1956, June 8: Anna Marie Randall died. Anna Marie was DOA at the Elyria Memorial Hospital of unknown causes. She had lived in Elyria about 3 months prior to her death. 1956, June 11: She was cremated at the Sunset Memorial Park in North Olmstead, Ohio and her cremains were sent to Wainwright Funeral Home in Elyria who forwarded them to The York Cemetery in York Township (Medina) Ohio for internment. Burial Note: I am very suspicious that, even though nothing was ever discussed in my presence, my father was responsible for the arrangements to have her body sent to Sunset Memorial Park and then to the Wainwright mortuary in Medina for internment at York Cemetery as: 1) my father was the only relative in the area at the time of her death and closest kin and 2) the Sunset Memorial Park was three miles north of our home on Columbia Road in Olmsted Falls. The similarity is too obvious to be ignored. Unfortunately, whomever placed her in the York Cemetery failed to have her grave marked though it is believed it is on the Alexander family plot and, perhaps, someday, it will be marked.
