1Title:  Clifford B. Pease Family Papers     
 Creator:  Pease, Clifford B. Family 
 Dates:  1811-1991 
 Abstract:  Clifford B. Pease was a funeral home director and civic leader in Dover (later Westlake), Ohio. In 1929 he took over operation of the Pease Funeral Home in Dover founded by his father, James Pease. In addition to operating the funeral home, Pease was active in the business and civic affairs of Dover; serving as town clerk, as a member of various clubs and lodges, and as a leader in numerous state and national funeral industry organizations. He married Alice Minerva Osborn in 1909 and had two children, Marion Elizabeth Pease and Kenneth Osborn Pease. Marion Pease became a licensed funeral director, and along with her mother, continued to operate the funeral home business after the death of Clifford Pease in 1944. When the business was sold to Glen A. Jenkins in 1955, she continued on as a licensed funeral director with the newly-named Jenkins Funeral Home, into the 1980s. The collection consists of address and birthday books; correspondence; daybooks; genealogies and canine pedigrees; financial and tax records; legal records, including deeds, wills, estate inventories, land partitions and purchases, divorce papers, and lawsuits; birth and death certificates; diplomas and certificates; newspaper clippings and notes, including birth, death and wedding announcements; poetry and recipe books; academic catalogs and directories; pamphlets; and bulletins.
