"...The founder of the business and the first of the name in Cleveland was the late John Gawne, who was born at Ballaugh, Isle of Man, October 20, 1821. He was reared and educated in his native country, and learned the trade of stone mason. In 1851, coming to America, he followed his trade eight months at Buffalo, New York, and four months at Painesville Ohio, and then in 1852 located at Cleveland, where he was one of the early stone masons and building contractors. He followed that business actively, and built up an extensive clientage both here and elsewhere, until 1889, when he retired, and enjoyed his later years in leisure and comfort. While he gave up active business nealy thirty years ago, the results of his work are still in evidence. He had the contract for the erection of the Cleveland National Bank Building, the Otis Steel Company plant, part of the National Malleable Castings Company plant and the Fairmont water reservoir. Other buildings and constructions too numerous to mention were handled by him and his firm. He was a republican voter and an active Methodist. On the Isle of Man at his native village in 1844, he married Margaret Craine, and they became the parents of twelve children, nine of whom are still living..."
