Albert Romanzo Pool came to this city from Chagrin Falls about 1856, and for several years was in the employ of H.R. Smith. He then bought and conducted an omnibus line for a number of years. Later he formed a partnership with Joseph A. McKee and the firm, under the name of Pool & McKee, controlled the Wiler House for several years. He subsequently farmed for four years, west of the city, and in 1870 he and James D. Bell became partners in the leather business under the firm name of Bell & Pool.

Miller, southwest of this city, last Saturday morning, at the advanced age of 99 years and three months. Mrs. Miller closed the century of her existence in peace.

Mrs. M. leaves two children and hosts of friends to mourn her departure. The Massillon American has this to say of Mr. J. Orrville Brown, who died last week at his home on S.E. Diamond Street in this city and the remains taken to Massillon for burial: It was sad news to the people of Massillon that came to us last Saturday of the death of Mr. J. Orrville Brown at his home in Mansfield. Mr. Brown had a sunstroke last summer, and never fully recovered from its effect. He had been confined to bed for about ten weeks before his death, but only his relatives knew that he was so near the end of life. Mr. Brown was fifty years old last July, and a son of the late Wm. Brown. In all the relations of life he was an honorable, upright man. Mr. Brown was a native of Massillon, and lived here until about eight years ago when he removed to Mansfield. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon, from the residence of Mrs. Wm. Brown, corner South and Hill Streets, and was largely attended. |
