Craig W. Warren. The results incidental to the progress of the great World war again showed, with significant emphasis, to how great a degree all humanity depends upon the activities of the farmer, and nev£r before has there been so definite an appreciation of the important industrial status of the agriculturist and stock-grower. Of these great basic lines of industrial enterprise Mr. Warren is a successful representative in Short Creek Township, Harrison County, and he has spared no effort in bringing up to the highest standard the general productiveness of his farm during the war period and the later days that have shown great demands for the maximum energies of the loyal and patriotic farmer.

Milo V. Ooubtright has gained secure vantage ground as one of the progressive and representative business men of his native county and is a partner in the Carrollton Milling Company. In connection with the Carrollton Milling Company he has been a forceful factor in developing one of the important industrial industries of the county. He was bom in Center Township, this county. November 24, 1865, and is a scion of a family whose name has been identified with the annals of Ohio for more than a century. His grandfather, Isaac Courtright, was bora at Beaver Falls, Beaver County. Pennsylvania, July 8. 1814. and was four years old when his pa rents came to Ohio and established their home in Columbiana County, whence ten years later they removed to Jefferson County, where they endured the full tension of strenuous pioneer life and where they continued to reside until their deaths. Isaac Courtright was the eighth in a family of twelve children bora to John and Mary (Clarke) Courtright, who were natives of New Jersey and who established their resi- dence in Pennsylvania in the opening years of the nineteenth century, their home having been in Beaver County, that state, until they came to Ohio in 1818.

Isaac Courtright was reared under the conditions that marked the early pioneer period of Ohio history and early became dependent upon his own resources. He first came to Carroll County in 1822, but three years later he left the county, to which he returned after the lapse of an additional five years. July 5, 1836, he married Miss Sarah Norris, who was born in New Jersey and who was young when she accompanied her parents to Ohio. The young couple established their home on a pioneer farm in Union Township, Carroll County, but in 1838 they removed to Center Township, where he developed and improved the fine farm, about two miles distant from Carrollton, on which he passed the remainder of his life. His wife died April 22. 1885 and he passed away at the venerable age of seventy-five years, honored by all who knew him.

James Courtright was born .in Union Township, Carroll County, and he passed the period of his childhood and early youth on his father's farm in Center Township. That he made good use of his educational advantages is shown in the fact that for several years he was a successful teacher in the district schools.

Upon retiring from the farm he and his wife removed to Chicago Junction, Huron County, where the latter died in 1914 and where he passed away February 19, 1909.

They are survived by three children : Ida, bora November 10, 1863 ; Milo V., the immediate subject of this review; and Martha, bora December 12, 1878.

Milo V. Courtright found the first twenty-six years of his life compassed by the influences of the home farm, and in the meanwhile he profited fully by the advantages offered by the public schools of his native county. At the age of twenty-six years he established himself in the timber business, with headquarters in the city of Carrollton, and two years later he turned his attention to the buying and shipping of grain, in which he continued independent operations six years. In 1900 he became associated with Harvey J. W. Courtright and engaged in the flour-milling business, under the firm name of Courtright & Courtright, Later the business was consolidated with that of Perry O. Mc-

Cully, of whom mention is made on other pages, and In 1910 the milling plant was established at its present location, with modern equipment and facilities. Here the vigorous and prosperous industrial enterprise has been conducted under the corporate title of the Carrollton Milling Company, and Mr. Courtright has been able effectively to utilize his executive and initiative ability in furthering the splendid success of the business. In 1920 he sold his interest in the Carrollton Milling Company and is now manager of the Farmers Exchange Company, who own the mill.

The republican party receives the allegiance of Mr. Courtright, and he has given six years of effective service as a member of the City Council of Carrollton, besides having been for nine years a member of the Board of Education. He is affiliated with the Modern Woodmen of America and the Knights of the Maccabees, and both he and his wife hold membership in the Methodist Episcopal .Church.

While afflicted with typhoid fever he was placed in a military hospital in the city of Columbus, Ohio, and it was while in this institution that he formed the acquaintance of the young woman who later became his wife.

In 1901 he purchased his partner's interest and he has since maintained sole control of the substantial business, with a store that is well stocked and gives the effective service that assures appreciative supporting patronage.

He was an enthusiast in all things pertaining to the public good and always ready to support movements tending to advance his native county. In politics he was originally a whig and later a republican, and both he and his wife were birthright members of the Society of Friends." Wilson and Mary T.
