Parents of: Edwin Henry Ford (1832-1841) Rebecca Jane Ford (1833-1835) Robert McGee Ford (1835-1845) Hannah Mariah Ford (1837-1845) William Wallace Ford (1839-1913) Dr. James Mitchell Ford (1841-1927) Oscar Clemens Ford (1845-1931) ========================= OBITUARY - Wabash Courier-Times, Wabash (IN) - Friday, August 28, 1885 William Johnson Ford, one of the old residents of the county, died on Wednesday evening at eight o'clock at his home in the western part of the city, of a dropsical affliction from which he had suffered for many months. Mr. Ford, who is known throughout this and surrounding counties, and highly esteemed by all who enjoyed his acquaintance, was born in Harrison county, Ohio, in May 1805, and at the time of his demise was therefore over eighty years of age. He removed to Wabash in the Spring of 1840 and with the exception of a brief period spent in Kansas City, has since continued to reside here. Though advanced in years, he betrayed little evidence of physical weakness until last Winter. He attended to business, his mind was clear and vigorous, his step, for one so aged, was elastic and his face was a familiar one in the commercial quarter of this city. In November he was attacked with rheumatism, he lost the use of his lower limbs and the disease at last developed into a pronounced case of drops, which despite his iron constitution, caused his death as stated. Mr. Ford engaged but little in mercantile pursuits, preferring the quiet and contentment of farm life. In 1853 and 1864 he was interested in a warehouse, but tiring of this occupation, he sold out and returned to the country. He has reared three sons, Mitch residing at Kansas City, Wallace at Rich Valley and Oscar in this city, and the sorrow they experience from the death of a kind and indulgent father pervades the entire county, which deeply regrets the loss of so exemplary a citizen. OBITUARY - Plain Dealer, Wabash (IN) - Friday, August 28, 1885 William Johnson Ford—at the residence of his son, William Wallace Ford, six miles west of Wabash, on Wednesday night, aged 80 years. Mr. Ford was one of the pioneers of Wabash County, having been a constant resident here since 1840, and was without doubt one of the most widely known men in the County. During the past year his health failed rapidly—the general breaking down of a long life of unusual activity. The funeral services will be conducted at the residence of his son this afternoon, after which the #remains will be brought to Falls Cemetery for burial. Died at age 80 years, 3 months, 26 days.
