This was G. W. Cranston's second marriage, the first to Margaret Borton on 24 Aug 1852. She died on 15 Apr 1866. So he waited the traditional six months before remarrying, but his eldest son Reuben, 10 at the time, was still not pleased that his mother was replaced so quickly, and he ran away from home (according to family lore). > and further records of his > death in 1893 in Barnsville, Guernsey Co.,OH G. W. inherited the family farm in Oxford Twp. of Guernsey County, and that is almost certainly where he died. The post office was apparently Barnesville (3 miles away), but this city is in Belmont rather than Guernsey County. The date was 5 FEB 1893.

This biography was reprinted in “Five Generations in Guernsey County”, Vol. I (1986). G. W. is buried in Fletcher's Cemetery in Oxford Twp., but I'm not sure where Hannah is buried (or even when she died). I descend from G. W. Cranston's eldest brother John.
