Obituary - Illinois State Journal (Springfield, Illinois) - 21 February 1860 OBITUARY - We regret to learn of the death of our old friend, Levi Cantrall, senior, who died at one o'clock yesterday, aged about seventy-three years. He was one of the pioneers of this county. His character was above reproach in every respect; he has gone to his grave "full of years and honors", and his death will be regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. We trust that some person competent for the task will write a suitable obituary notice, and forward it to the Journal for publication. Obituary - Illinois State Journal (Springfield, Illinois) - 28 February 1860 Levi Cantrall, one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens, has left us for the scenes and enjoyments of another sphere. He died calmly after forty-two days of suffering. His wife was constantly with him, and tenderly ministered to his wants. His family and numerous friends surrounded his bed, and in perfect sanity, and while exhorting to temperance and Godliness his friends and neighbors, he breathed his last. He died on the 20th of February, 1860. He was born October 1, 1787, in Botetourt County, Virginia. His father, Joshua Cantrall, emigrated to Mercer County, Kentucky, when Levi was five years old. Levi Cantrall was married in Kentucky and removed thence with his family to Ohio in 1811, where he resided until 1819, when he came to Illinois. He passed through Springfield in December of that year. There was then only one log cabin and five acres of prairie broken. He settled on his "Cantrall Creek" farm that winter, and has lived there ever since, a period of 41 years. He was in the Army of the United States in the Northwest during the War of 1812. Of a gentle disposition, scrupulously honest and strictly moral, he was always surrounded by friends. His whole life had been a "living epistle" of religion, honesty, and temperance. He lived to see his whole family comfortably settled in his adopted state. He was gathered to his Father's garner at the ripe age of seventy-two. Requiescat in pace.

Thanks Bill. I didn't have that information. Gina

Hi Gina, Edward died 15 September 1832 according to his probate record. Bill Scroggin

Edward and Ann Cantrall Ridgeway actually had at least two children that I have information on. If you would like me to share the information, please let me know. By the way, does anyone know where Ausburn Ridgeway, Jane Phelps Ridgeway, or Edward Ridgeway are buried? No one that I have corresponded with seems to know any of those answers. Bill Scroggin

She married Daniel Gilbrech had one child (my Grandfather). Daniel died about 1864-65 and Dulcena married Jeremiah Lushbaugh.
