county has within its borders not only some of the
most widely known industries but one of the most
widely known educational institutions in the United
States. Although Oberlin College is ostensibly
under the control of the Congregational church, its
influence has become so strong and widespread that
it is ranked with the best of the universities of
the country, irrespective of the auspices under
which they are conducted.

River, converted it into a vineyard and occasionally
visited it. He died in Brooklyn, New York, in
1888.
General Parsons was born in Elyria in 1838,
graduated from West Point in 1851 and soon afterward
was placed in command of a battery, which became
famous both in the Union and Confederate armies.
After the war he became chief of artillery in
General Hancock's Indian expeditions, but later
took orders in the Protestant Episcopal church.
His death occurred at Memphis, Sept. 7, 1879, and
was directly traceable to overwork during the
terrible yellow fever epidemic of that year.
