Ohio Democrat January 11, 1890
William R. Durant died at his residence near Logan, Ohio, January 3d, 1890, aged 76 years, 1 month and 7 days. He was born in England, November 17, 1813, and was married to Elizabeth Andreas in the year 1835. There were born to them 9 children, 22 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. He leaves one brother and two sisters. His wife and two children have preceded him to the better land, leaving seven children to mourn. The deceased united with the Methodist Church in 1833, afterwards uniting with the U. B. Church in which he lived until he died. A large number of friends are left to mourn their loss, but their loss is his gain. Thus our neighbors and friends are taken by death, one by one. The old home of this aged brother is now broken up. Father and mother Durant are both dead. This venerable christian will be missed by many, but more by his chilren. They are now done hearing oral counsel from the lips of father, and may it not be that this sad bereavement may have a tendency to deeply rivet on their minds a, father's counsel? The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. N. Lohr, assisted by Rev. Bell, at Morris Chapel, January 5, 1890.
