CLAY Conrad Clay, son of John and Julia Clay, of Pennsylvania, was born in Stark Co., Ohio, February 20. 1822, settled in Henry county, Ohio, in 1850, on the farm on which he died January 16, 1893. He was united in marriage at Defiance, Ohio, Oct, 9, 1851, to Julia A., daughter of Wm. U. and Abigail Stoddard who removed from Connecticut to Henry county in 1850. To this union were born six sons and three daughters who, with exception of one son, deceased, survive him. Coming to Henry county in 1850 ? settled in the weeds and endured, with other early settlers all the hardships incident to those days. He united with the U. B. Church shortly after coming to this county, since which his whole aim seemed to have been to do good to others even to his own sacrifice. He never had an unkind word for anyone and was continually casting his bread upon the waters without ever expecting a fulfillment of the proverb, in that, said bread would return after many days. As a citizen and farmer Mr. Clay was highly regarded by his large circle of sincere friends, and it is indeed with a feeling of the greatest grief that the truth forces itself forward with the deplorable fact that he is forever removed from their midst.
