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)

Spokane, Washington, November, 1940

My Dear Alice:

I have been devoting some of my spare time of late to the job of looking over old letters and an old scrap book. In the book, from time to time through the years, I have pasted newspaper clippings; some of them brief and some lengthy, all interesting 'to me because they bring back memories of a time long gone, of people I knew and loved and the contribution they made to life, each in his own way and within his particular sphere of influence.
You may be disappointed because I have not found much that could be called "authentic" concerning the history of the Randall family; my father was not as much interested in ancestors as his brother, D. A. Randall. If he had been I might have a more satisfactory report to submit today. The old family bible, which contained a record, even the only really good picture of my father, (a daguerreotype) was appropriated by one of the older children in our family and seems to have been lost, somewhere.
My father would insist that it didn't matter so much who and what our ancestors were; that its what we are that counts. And maybe he was right, though his mother, Joanna must have been rather proud of her side of the house since she named her eldest son (my father), "Pemberton". The Pemberton who was Lord Mayor of London in the seventeenth century A. D. was a,forebear of her father, Patrick Grant
Pemberton. She, Joanna, married James Randall, my father's father, and my grandfather. He was a Scotchman, and my father was more like him, while his brother, D. A., resembled the English side of the house.
My father was out-spoken, brusque, caring little for the niceties of life, a great student of books, he found it easy to be "brains and speech for the whole countryside" as some one once put it. My uncle was entirely different both in looks and in personality. He was gentle, courteous, a lover of beauty; as an author, lecturer and world traveler he was well known and well loved.
He was a successful business man, too, in Columbus where he made his home all his life. His books, stationery and all kinds of interior decorations such as pictures, wall paper and the like, was one of the attractive business houses, as I remember it.
It was always a red letter day when he came to visit us at our farm home near Medina. He liked children and always brought us story-books and whatever else he could think of or thought we would like. Once he gave my mother five hundred dollars, "to use as she liked", he said. He realized, I suppose, that she could find a use for it.
Looking through a box of old keepsakes a week or so ago, I came across a faded flower of a variety that I know must have been beautiful and rare, pasted on a card, once white, but now yellow with age. At the bottom of the card was written, "For Sarah, (my mother) a flower from Jerusalem".
When my father found himself with a family of growing boys he decided to abandon village life and move to a place that seemed to him, at least, more suitable for youngsters, and so, for years and years that farm was the place where "Elder Randall's" family lived and moved and had its being. My father was away a great deal, so to my mother fell the burden to overseer and general manager. A more courageous woman never lived I am sure, and she needed not only that heaven-sent endowment but all that was cultivated as well.
My uncle's wife used to spend a month or so with us on the farm each summer. She was a most remarkable woman. Her parents were New Englanders and came to Ohio in 1800. Their name was Oviatt. He was one of the original founders and generous patrons of "Western Reserve" College. The daughter, Harriet, must have received the best educational advantages of her time as her brilliant accomplishments were often spoken of. She took great interest in all questions of the day, possessed great mental vigor; often contributing articles for the press. She had among her friends many eminent men of the day; John Brown, the political martyr, was one of them.
One of his last letters, written, the night before his execution, was to her, in answer to one she had written to him expressing sympathy for him in his hour of trial.
She was interested in all sorts of philanthropic work. The poor and friendless found her a sympathetic friend and helper. She helped to found mission schools and homes for the friendless. This about Aunt H. may not be of any particular interest to you. It only goes to show that my uncle's wife must have contributed quite a bit in the way of brains to her son, E. O. Randall, who was supreme court reporter for years, also nationally known historian, writer, delightful orator and a generally well beloved human being. My father and "E. 0.", as we always spoke of him, used to have many long conversations concerning men and things lasting long into the night. He was fond of "Uncle Pern" though he was too busy to come often to see my father. He had a son and a daughter. The son, a lawyer, died last year.
I wanted to send you the newspaper write up but I have lost it. Put it away too carefully, I guess. I may find it, if I do I will send it onto you, so that you can add it to whatever you have by way of a Randall Chronology.
I seem to have gathered more concerning my cousin Emilius and his activities than about other members of our clan, maybe because he lived during that period of my life when I took more interest or pride in everything than I have during later periods. He filled so many places in public life that
he was almost an institution in himself. I have just re-read a scrap book story that tells of "a rare opportunity" which came to the art lovers in Marquette, one evening many years ago, when E. 0.
was visiting relatives in that city. He talked about Benjamin West, first painter and founder of the Royal
Academy of England. From some of the comments I'll quote this: "Mr. Randall possesses an elegant diction and a great command of language, always being able to grasp the word having just the right shade of meaning he wishes to express. He has long been interested in art matter and has visited
the principal galleries of this country and of Europe thus acquiring information that fits him to speak with authority and to the advantage of his hearers. He was a graduate of Cornell University, also of the law college of Ohio State, degree of bachelor of philosophy in Cornell and degree of bachelor and master of laws at Ohio State. Later postgraduate in history at Cornell and in Europe. Had two children, a son and a daughter. The daughter still survives. She is Mrs. Robert Pfieffer, she has several children, but
as they are not Randalls, we will pass them by."
I have always held that the children in my father's family might have made a name for themselves had he manifested the same interest in their education that his brother did. My uncle often pointed out that the children's needs ought to come first, that something beyond the common school education must be planned for them.
A letter to my mother from my uncle's wife seems to have kept a place among old reminders of past years. In it she writes ''How are things going with you nowadays, sister? I suppose the days are still full of care.
"How is Theodorus getting along in school, is he applying himself? And is your husband still spending all his time and strength for others, trusting the education and care of his children to Providence? No doubt he feels the conversion of souls a more benevolent act and that his sacrifices in behalf of sinners will be rewarded."
Oh dear me; I wonder if its good for me to keep such old records. My mother must have been a woman of many sorrows, and yet I always think of her as a bringer of sunshine. She was always ready with a hopeful suggestion when things looked black. When I think of my father, I feel proud of his knowledge, but never the love for him that I feel for my mother. She seems always near me. the same guide and
counselor that she was in days of long ago. The older I grow the better I understand her. "Sarah Foster, descendent of Colonel Foster of Revolutionary fame". T. B. used to have the old sword he carried.
In his book entitled "The wonderful Tent" Rev. D. A. Randall, D. D. has written: "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 those inestimable boons good blood and Christian influences. The Randalls originated in bonnie Scotland, in the stirring annals of which country their name is not obscure. The Pemberton's 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."
My father was the oldest child in this family who, when he was born, (Oct. fifth, 1807) lived in Lebanon, Connecticut. Later the family moved to Auburn, New York and from there to Ontario County near
Canandaigua Lake. The children in this household were well educated, pursuing a classical course the three boys at least, did when they had finished with the common school. Two brothers, my father and D. A., adopted the profession of "Minister of the Gospel", spent much of their time, for a while at least, in "Scripture reading, prayer and meditation" and in due time became cultivated ministers of the Baptist Church. I noticed in reading over one of the notices, this: "he, Pemberton, was regarded as one of the strongest intellectual and scriptural preachers of the denomination to which he belonged. Young ministers have always considered it a great privilege to listen to his discourses, his sermons being clear, logical and strong arguments in favor of the religion of Christ. At eighty, when he died, his mind "was clear to the very last." The other brother, Delano, was a gentle, refined and rather unassuming sort. He had several children, one of them, a doctor, lived on a farm in Granger, Ohio. I have lost all trace of the family since Uncle D. arid Aunt Louisa passed on. I know that some cousin had a summer
home at Black River where we used to go some times but much that has happened in our family is long since forgotten (by me, anyway).
My daughter has a history that she thinks she couldn't get along without; it is the Genealogy of the Nye family In Denmark and England and in America. I wish we could have such a history of The Randall Family. That would be worth something.
This book has about seven hundred pages and the first record of the Nye family began in the 13th Century, A.D. Benjamin Nye was the first Nye to come to America. There is a picture of the house in which he lived in Lynn, Massachusetts and there is record of all the generations that followed, even up to the present. It is interesting.
I have always felt interested in family histories. It helps us to understand the causes that lie back of what may seem to us to be strange performances on the part of friends or relations (distinguished ones, too). Then, too, I think it helps us to know that our forebears were folks who stood for the better things, some of them, at least making valuable contributions to the society in which they lived. I often think of that hope that George Elliott expressed when she wrote: "0 may I join the choir invisible, of those immortal dead, who live again in lives made better by their presence".
Often, thinking- of those who have, gone on, I find myself wondering what their answer would have been to certain troublesome problems, and sometimes I listen, and am helped. I have two pictures of my Uncle Austin. One I have in a frame on the wall, the other one I thought you might like to look at, just to see how one Randall of an older generation looked.
I have some old letters, yellow and worn, written over a hundred years ago. One is from my grandfather, James Randall, to my father. It has occurred to me that your sons might be interested in reading them sometime. They might be bored, though, it would depend on how they regard such things.
I cannot help thinking that of all my brother Theodore's children, his oldest son, Ralph, seemed the most promising. I've just been looking again at his picture, and re-reading that obituary notice and brief biography that I clipped from the Medina Gazette years ago.
Looking back across the years and thinking over the story of his life, as I knew it, I feel sure that had he lived, he would have made a success of life and to his children, he would have left not only a loving memory but the kind of a heritage that money cannot buy from the world, or power wrest from the "Fates". He seemed to have inherited from his Puritan ancestors more of the New England conscience
than some of the rest of us received, steadfastness of purpose, the ability to think straight. The high regard that all who knew him came to feel for him gave evidence that he was free from the hypocrisy and the meaner vices of life that cast their shadow over so many of us.
"If Only." How often we find ourselves repeating those fateful words. If only Ralph Randall had inherited robust health there would have been a different tale to tell concerning his life and work. The children of the future are going to have a better chance.

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."

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.

By Ramona B. Bowden

A host of friends colleagues who had been associated with him during his life as professor of physics at Syracuse University went Wednesday to Greenleaf Funeral Home to pay their respects to Dr. Dorus Powers Randall, who died August 19.
The Rev. Dr. Daniel Smith of Syracuse University's Religion Department conducted the service and gave the eulogy.

He closed the service with a reading of the 121st and 23rd psalms.
During the quiet time before the service, the organist played many of "Randy's" favorite hymns, and after the benediction the Lord's prayer was sung in Armenian by Diran Ajemian, a deacon in St. John's Armenian Apostolic Church.
