Medina County Gazette-January 9, 1891: Pemberton Randall - in his book entitled "The Wonderful Tent", Rev. D. A. Randall, D. D., is written, and from which we learn that "Rev. Pemberton Randall was one of seven children born to James Randall and his wife, Joanna Pemberton Randall. The parents were able to bestow upon their children little less than those born with good blood and Christian influences. The Randall's originated in bonnie Scotland, in this stirring annual of which County the family name is not obscure. The Pemberton's sprang from sturdy English stock, possessed of both ability and nobility. Joanna was a direct descendent of Ebenezer Pemberton, D. D., one of the early distinguished pastors Of Old South Church, Boston. Both father and mother were native New Englanders."
Rev. Pembleton Randall departed this life at the home of his daughter, with whom he and his wife were living. Mrs. S.(*Sarah) A. R.(*Randall) McGeah, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at about eight o'clock on Sunday morning, January 4, 1891, being a little past 84 years of age. He was born in Lebanon, Connecticut. In early life, in fact in the autumn of 1826, he and his brother, Rev. Austin Randall, D. D., embraced the Christian religion in a revival meeting held by Rev. David Marks, a Free Will Baptist revivalist who came to a neighboring church and began a series of meetings. In addition to attending the meetings for some three weeks, he and his brothers, alone or in concert, engaged daily in Scripture readings, praying or in meditation. Both made a public profession of religion and on the day before Christmas, by Elder Haskell, pastor of the local church, baptized into Canandaigua Lake. Pemberton adopted the doctrine of the revivalist, and in due time became a cultivated a conscientious minister of the Free Will Church. Soon after his conversion he removed to Ohio, and after receiving a common school education, he pursued a classical course for two years in Geauga seminary. In 1840 he was ordained by Elders Cyrus Coltrim and Warmer Beebe. His labors have been with churches in northern Ohio. He has been an able preacher, his sermons being clear, logical and strong arguments in favor of the religion of Christ. Young ministers have always considered it a great privilege to listen to his preaching, and although over 80 years of age his mental powers were clear and strong, and the Free Will Baptist quarterly meetings were often blessed with his presence and counsel. In February 1834 he was joined in marriage to Maria T. Beebe, who died in February, 1839, and in 1840 he was married to Sarah C. Foster. He was the father of 10 children; five of whom and his wife survived him. He was regarded as one of the strongest intellectual scriptural preachers of the denomination to which he belonged, and of which he was a worthy and honored number. His membership was transferred from Spencer, Ohio, to the Free Will Baptist church of Minneapolis Minnesota, where his wife is also a member. He was able to converse intelligently to the last, and died trusting in Jesus for the life of one which he has entered in the immortality of the glory world.
His remains in Medina, Wednesday morning, accompanied by his wife and son in law, Mr. J. A. McGeagh, the funeral services Thursday afternoon at 2 PM, in Medina in the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. G. H. Damon and assisted by resident and other ministers of other denominations.
Note ~ Information notated by * added by Fonda FlamingoThe Reverend Pemberton Randall, farmer and minister is among the acceptable and efficient ministers who, for many years past, have proclaimed the glad tidings of the Gospel, and endeavored with anxious solicitude to administer to the spiritual needs of sinful humanity in this county.
1807, October 6: He was born in Lebanon. Township, New London County, Connecticut, of a family of three sons and four daughters, he being the eldest of his brothers and the second of the number born. His parents were James and Joanna (Pemberton) Randall. His place of birth was in Chatham, Connecticut, in December 1778, his wife being born in August, two years later, in the same state. The Randalls are of Scotch and the Pembertons of English descent. Mr. Randall's father was a blacksmith, which trade he followed nearly his entire life. Our subject's early life was spent in the agricultural districts, and while he attended school to some extent, his hands were not strangers to the use of the implements of husbandry. About the age of 20, he embarked for himself, having obtained education sufficient to enable him to teach the "young idea," which vocation he followed during the winter, and working by the month on the farm, $10 being his compensation per month at the time he embarked in the profession. Until 31 years of age, he was thus alternately employed. Three years later, he married Maria T. Beebe, who was born in Ontario County, New York and then moved westward to this county, locating in Granger Township. Being impressed that it was his duty to enter the ministry, and the better to qualify himself for that important position, he attended Geauga College, and studied the languages until he obtained satisfactory knowledge of the same. Upon his return, came to Medina, where he had the pastoral charge of the Free-Will Baptist Church at that place for some time, and since has preached regularly up to 1878, and at regular intervals up to the present time. He has been instrumental in doing much good, and through his efforts many have been caused to turn from the error of their ways and found comfort and salvation through the atoning merits of the Redeemer. Mr. Randall's father moved to this county in 1838, and settled in Granger; finally moved to Summit County, where he died in 1849; his wife survived him until 1854. Of the brothers of our subject living are D. P. Randall, now of Sharon Township, and David A., who is the author of that interesting work entitled "The Handwriting of God in Sinai and the Holy Land." He resides in Cleveland. One sister is in Medina Township, Catherine, now Mrs. W. H. Witter. To Mr. Randall have been born ten children; but five of the number are living Theodore B.; Thomas P.; Maria T., now Mrs. G. 0. Chapman; Sarah A., Mrs. Mc Kay, and Lydia B. T. B. is now teaching in this county; Thomas P. is in Lincoln County, Kansas also Mrs. Chapman; Mrs. Mc Kay is in Cleveland; Lydia B. at home. Mr. Randall has always been a man of great industry, never desiring to be idle. Early in life, he took up the trade of his father, and has had for many years on his place a shop, in which he spends much of his time in mending and keeping in repair such implements and tools as may need such attention upon his farm.
Though never much interested in political matters, yet he has always been Republican in sentiment. He sent three of his sons to defend the flag of our Union. David A. died in the service; Theodore B. served three years in Company K, 8th 0.V.I. Thomas P. was in the 166th, and re-enlisted and served until the close of the war. Mr. Randall's youngest son met with a tragic death by the discharge of a gun in his own hands in December, 1879, while in Kansas. He was 23 years of age.
