Ms. Geraldine Devoe

This history was recorded on January 11, 1975. Mrs. Devoe was one of Euclid's first settlers. Her great grandmother was a descendant of John Crosier who was a sargeant in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Crosier settled in Euclid in 1818 shortly after his wife died. Euclid Township was 6 miles square. Her family originally settled on Richmond Road then settled in the farm house on the street now called Devoe. She remembered the home having a huge oak tree in front with a wooden swing. The house was warned with a pot belly stove and the coal shed wasout back with the out house. She fondly remembered the family's Noble Church on Babbitt and St. Clair. It was the center of family activity with regular ice cream socials, bazaars and the popular oyster suppers. (43 minutes)
