  continued to reside in Union Township until 1854, when he moved to North
  Beaver Township, where he died in May, 1889, having been engaged in
  agricultural pursuits for many years. He was a man of sterling
  character, capable as a farmer and as a citizen, and he was one of the
  founders of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Hillsville. Both he and
  wife, who had died in 1887, were held in the highest esteem by all who
  knew them. Of their children the following six survive: Mary A., who is
  the wife of T. H. Karisher, of Youngstown; James K., who resides at
  Topeka, Kan.; Samuel W.; Elizabeth, who is the wife of Emmett McCready,
  of Youngstown; Olive, who is the wife of H. H. Hoffmaster, of
  Youngstown, and Charles O., of Cleveland.
  
  Samuel W. Mayberry accompanied his parents to North Beaver Township and
  attended the public school at Bessemer in his boyhood. For many years he
  followed farming and dairying and for a short time was associated with
  the Farmers' Supply Company, of New Castle.
  
  On February 23, 1872, Mr. Mayberry was married to Emma McDonald. who was
  born in Edenburg, Pa., and is a daughter of James and Martha (Kerr)
  McDonald. James McDonald was born in Lawrence County and was a son of
  Arnold McDonald, an early settler. Of the children of James and Martha
  McDonald, four survive namely: Clarissa, wife of David G. Duff, of New
  Castle; Emma; Charles P., a resident of Kansas City, Mo., and Loretta,
  wife of P. A. Thompson, of New Castle. To Mr. and Mrs. Mayberry were
  born four children, as follows: Ostie, who resides in Columbiana County,
  Ohio; Nora E., who is the wife of C. E. Hoffmaster, of Mahoning
  Township; Vernon S., who resides at Norfolk, Va., and Edice, who is the
  wife of James Ball, of New Castle.

  he and wife are members of the First Methodist Episcopal Church at New
