Habby J. Johnson. With the increasing demand for all farm products, there has come a corresponding added value to the work of those who are devoting their talents and time to the cultivation of the soil and the development of the agricultural resources of the country.

John W. Morgan has signalized his energy and productive ability through many years of successful association with farm Industry in Harrison County, where he is the owner of a well improved farm in Stock Township, the property giving ample evidence of the thrift and good management that have attended its varied operations. Mr. Morgan has here contributed his full quota toward making Harrison County one of the best and most productive agricultural sections of the Buckeye State.

In connection with this important event in his career, Mr. Morgan purchased his present home farm of ninety -two acres, which had been originally owned by jQhn Layport, grandfather of Mrs. Morgan, and to the value of which be has added by the Installing of many Improvements and by maintaining the place at the maximum stage of productiveness during the long Intervening years. On this fine rural domain Mrs. Morgan was born June 19, 1853, a daughter of William Layport, the latter having likewise been born on this old homestead and the date of his nativity, June 12, 1805, showing that his parents were numbered among the earliest settlers in Stock Township, Harrison County.

John Layport was one of the first to institute the development of farm property In the midst of the forest wilds of Stock Township, where he endured bis full share of the hardships and herculean labors that fell to the lot of the pioneer and where he lived and labored to goodly ends. The maiden name of his wife was Mary McCain and they became the parents of eight children - Caspar, Nancy, George, John, William, Abraham, Isaac and Anna.

Mrs. Laughridge died August 26, 1868, and Mr. Laughridge later married Susannah, a daughter of John Conaway, of Stock Township, two children having been born to this union - -James H. and Susannah. The religious faith of the family has long been that of the Presbyterian Church.

Layport; William F., who likewise became a minister of the Presbyterian Church ; and Perry, whose vocation has been that of farming.
