PARALYSIS FATAL
Mrs. James Close, Who Suffered First Stroke Four Months Ago
SUCCUMBED TODAY
Passed Away At Home of Sister, Mrs. John Raudebush - Burial Saturday

Nancy A. Close, aged nearly seventy-three years, widow of James Close, who for the past four months has helpless from paralysis, and whose life has been hanging by a thread for the past few days, this morning at 7 o'clock passed away at the home of her sister, Mrs. John Raudebush, in the north part of the city. About 4 months ago Mrs. Close, with her sister and other relatives, went to visit with their brother, William Daugherty, at Big Rapids, Mich., and while there, Mrs. Close suffered the first attack of paralysis. She was rendered helpless and it was necessary to bring her home on a cot. Since that time she has gradually declined.
Mrs. Close was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Daugherty. She was born in Starke county, Ohio, December 16, 1937, and had she lived but a week and a day longer would have been seventy-three years of age. In childhood she came with her parents to Allen county, Indiana, and grew to womanhood. She was married there to James Close, and later came to this county to reside, making their home four miles west of this city. They lived in this vicinity for some twenty-five or thirty years, becoming well known, and then went to Jamesville, Wis., to live, and later to Oklahoma. Five years ago Mr. Close died in Oklahoma, and a year later his widow came here and has resided since with her sister, Mrs. Raudebush.
Mrs. Close is survived by three daughters, all living at Pallisbell, Mont. They are Mrs. William Butler, Mrs. Lizzie Smith and Mrs. Tom Lee. She also leaves a grandson, Charles Hutcheson, whom she reared as her own. He also lives in Pallisbell. A daughter, Mrs. William Hutcheson, and a son, Will Close, besides an infant daughter, have gone before.
George Daugherty of Oklahoma, William H. Daugherty of Big Rapids, Mich., and Mrs. John Raudebush of this city are surviving brothers and sister.
The funeral will be held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock from the M. E. church, the services to be conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Sherman Powell. Burial in the Decatur cemetery.

History of Lawrence Township

In the early 19th century, the area now known as Lawrence Township was a part of both Tuscarawas and Jackson Townships. Lawrence Township was laid out and platted by Commissioners on December 4, 1815.

The Township was named after Captain James Lawrence of the U.S. Navy in the War of 1812. Captain Lawrence was famous for his last words in the battle between the American frigate Chesapeake and the British Royal Navy frigate Shannon. Captain Lawrence, mortally wounded by small arms fire, ordered
"Don't give up the ship" as he was carried below. Those words later became the motto of the Township.

On July 4, 1825, ground was broken for construction of a three hundred and nine mile long canal connecting Lake Erie to the Ohio River. The Ohio and Erie Canal was completed in 1832, seven years after the ground breaking, and at a cost of 4.7 million dollars. The canal route passed through six miles of Lawrence Township.

Coal mining was an important industry for many years. A few gristmills existed along the Tuscarawas River, but the arrival of the Ohio and Erie Canal really was the start of roads and businesses in Lawrence Township and Stark County.

The Canal, which opened between Cleveland and Massillon in 1828, brought immediate prosperity to the Village of Canal Fulton and Lawrence Township. It was the first important commercial avenue in the state for the shipping of produce by water directly to New Orleans and New York City. The Census of 1840 reported that Stark County, as a direct result of the Canal, was being transformed into one of the nation's greatest
trade centers.

This information came from a supreme court case (can be found in the Stark County Library.It concerned a court case and land dispute.The father, James, was to have cleard land for this man and he would be given I think five acres, but after he did it, he never got possession of the land.The man said he was a drunk.His death is recorded in the Stark County paper.I think I recall that he was a hard drinking man.His children went to court and they did get the land.I guess they then moved to Huntington Indiana.From there on to Michigan.My Doughertys were in Stark County at the same time, and then went to the same area of Indiana, and then on to Kansas.I thought they were related, but did DNA and found there was no relationship. Maybe way back when.
possibility?

Could the following be our James Dougherty? I don't think so.
