Samuel B. Vasbinder was still a boy at the time of the death of his parents, and he was then tii ken into the home of his uncle, Samuel Slemons. He learned the shoemaker's trade, to which he gave his attention until 1S66. when he established himself in the boot and shoe business at New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas County. There he remained until 1873, when he removed with his family to Perrysville, Carroll County. Later he established his home on a farm in Monroe Townshin and there he continued his residence until his death in 1903, his widow now maintaining her home at Carrollton. Mr. Vasbinder was a stalwart republican and was affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, his religious faith having been that of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which his widow likewise is a zealous member. At the time of the Civil war Mr. Vasbinder was called into military service, but was soon returned from camp to his home, as it was found that his services would be of greater value in the making of shoes for the soldiers in the field* Of his children the eldest is John O., deceased ; Laura is the wife of Alfred A. Stewart, of whom mention is made on other pages of this volume; Homer R., of this review, was the next in order of birth; Sylvia L. is deceased; Leona E. is the wife of George A. Davis, of Harrison County; and Henry B. and Myrta A., of Sherrodsville, Ohio.

Gilbert G. Dickerson. A man of industry and enterprise, possessing mechanical skill and ability of high order, Gilbert G. Dickerson, of Georgetown, is widely known throughout Short Creek Township as one of the foremost blacksmiths in this section of Harrison County, his superior workmanship and his prompt attention to the wants of his patrons having won him a substantial business. A native of Harrison County, he was bora November 24, 1866, In Cadiz Township, a son of Thomas Hudson and Hanna (McCoy) Dickerson, being one of a family of ten children.

His parents removing when he was a child td Short Creek Township, Mr. Dickerson there obtained his early education in the Science Hill School, and as a young lad worked out by the month. In 1888, shortly after attaining his majority, he responded to the lure of the far West, making his way to the Territory of Washington, where he remained eleven years. The financial returns for his labor in that section not being very satisfactory, Mr. Dickerson returned to Ohio, and for two years thereafter was engaged in breaking colts in Harrison County, training them for track work. Locating in Jefferson County, Ohio, In 1902, he was in the employ of the United States Coal Company for six years, and since that time has been a resident of Harrison County.

Two children were born of their marriage, namely: Raymond, bora in 1903; and Lillian L., who was born January 8, 1905, and died in infancy. Mrs. Dickerson lived but a comparatively short time after her marriage, her death occurring January 18, 1905. Mr. Dickerson, true to the religious faith in which he was reared, is a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Georgetown. Fraternally he belongs to Lodge No. 8476, Modern Woodmen of America, of Smlthfleld, Ohio.

J. C. Haverfield. The fact that he was bom March 12, 1842, made J. C. Haverfield of Cadiz old enough to enlist as a Union soldier in the Civil war. He was only twenty when he enlisted in Company H, One Hundred Twentysixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, giving two years and seven months to the service of his country. He was in some of the most decisive battles and on July 9, 1864, was made a prisoner of war, spending seven months in Confederate prisons. Mr. Haverfield had some thrilling experiences, and at the battle of Rpottsylvania Courthouse a soldier at his right was shot through the head, another at his left received a bullet in the hip, and the soldier in his rear was shot through both wrists. He helped a comrade carry the wounded men to the rear and renewed the attack when a mlnnle ball struck down the comrade, but he reached the front uninjured. In one battle he was slightly stunned by a piece of spent shell, but at the end of the war he returned to Harrison County without serious physical Injury.

Realizing the need of a better education after his return from the Civil war, Mr. Haverfield entered Hopedale College, but the loss of the family home by fire necessitated his leaving school and returning to work at the family homestead. He is a son of Alexander and Catharine (Shimer) Haverfield, who always lived in Cadiz Township. The grandfather, John

Haverfleld, came to Harrison County when there were deer and wolves in the forest. The Haverflelds have been United Presbyterians and republicans, and for a time Alexander Haverfleld was a member of the Board of Directors of the Harrison County Infirmary. He was an elder in the church and a director in the Harrison National Bank - a busy, progressive, pioneer citizen.

In 1870 J. C. Haverfleld married Mattie G. Thompson. She was a daughter of R. G. and Jane Thompson, who lived in Carroll County. While Alexander Haverfleld lived they remained with him on the farm, but in January, 1876, they removed to Cadiz, where Mr. Haverfleld engaged in the hardware trade as a member of the firm of Harrison and Haverfleld. However a few years later he returned to the farm. His children are: Della Verne, wife of Charles E. Glover, of Columbus, and their children are Martha Isabelle, John Haverfleld and Charles E. Glover; Harvey B. Haverfleld, a railroad man living at Cleveland, married Maude Gillvary; Calvin Leroy Haverfleld, a dentist in Akron, married Cordelia Kesler; Ralph F. Haverfleld, who married Edith Hale, lives in Columbus; Lida Orvetta Haverfleld, a teacher of music; William R. Haverfleld, a traveling salesman living in Columbus; and Melvin George Haverfleld, who married Vera Nottingham, is a mining engineer and lives in Baxter Springs, Kansas.

In 1885 Mr. and Mrs. Haverfleld again left the farm and they now live in Cadiz again. He had spent fifty years on the farm. He is a member of Cadiz Post Grand Army of the Republic, and while he came out of the Civil war without injury, it is related that a brother, James H. Haverfleld, who responded to the final call for one hundred days men, lost his life in the first engagement, and a cousin who saw him fall helped a comrade carry him to the rear and across the river, where they laid him to rest in a small garden, and his remains now lie buried in an unknown grave. The Southland is dotted with many unknown graves of Northern soldiers, just as the cemeteries of France, today contain all that was mortal of the young World war soldiers who went overseas at the call of their . country.

In the attractive and thriving village of Jewett, Rumley Township, Harrison County, are maintained the residence and professional headquarters of Doctor Grove, who has a substantial and representative practice and who is one of the influential citizens of the village, as well as representative physician and surgeon of his native county.

Doctor Grove was bora in Cadiz Township, this county, on the 18th of March, 1864, and is a son of Thomas C. and Sarah (Croskey) Grove, sterling citizens of whom more specific mention is made on other pages, in the sketch of another of their sons, Thomas E., so that a repetition of the record is not required in the present connection. Doctor Grove gained his early education in the district schools of his native county and his higher academic discipline was received In Franklin College. In the autumn of 1885 he was matriculated in the celebrated Starling Medical College in the city of Columbus, an institution that now constitutes the medical department of the University of Ohio, and in the spring of 1888 he was graduated with the well earned degree of Doctor of Medicine. Well fortified for the exacting work of his chosen profession Doctor Grove established himself in practice at Jewett in August of the same year, and in the passing years he has built up and retained a large and representative practice, the character and extent of which demonstrate alike his professional ability and his personal popularity. He Insistently keeps in touch with the advances made in medical and surgical science, and maintains affiliation with the Harrison County Medical Society, the Ohio State Medical Society and the American Medical Association.

Samuel B. Porter. Just now and then a man performs the sacred function of enrolling his ancestry the second time in the annals of any given community. The men of today owe it to the men of yesterday to commemorate their deeds of privation and endurance in bringing about the transformation from savagery to civilization in any community. Now that a "Who's Who" of Harrison County is again in prospect, Samuel B. Porter, of Cadiz, again waves the family banner and keeps the memory green of his immediate ancestry.

While Mr. Porter now lives in Cadiz, the farmstead in Athens Township, where he was born, October 8, 1843, has been in the Porter family name since it was entered from the Government in territorial days in Ohio, within a year or two from the beginning of the nineteenth century. S. B. Porter is a son of David and Theresa (Stone) Porter, who were pioneer residents of Harrison County. In his days of farm activity Mr. Porter was among the leading agriculturists of Green Township, although he was born in Athens Township.

The Porter family in Harrison County harks back to Samuel Porter, who came from Pennsylvania. He was a saddler and always worked at the trade. He trained with the democrats from the organization of the party. His son, David Porter, was bora February 5, 1802, Just before the family came from Washington County, Pennsylvania, to Harrison County. He married Theresa Stone, of Belmont County. She died in 1859, and lies buried in Crab Apple Cemetery in Belmont County. David Porter died December 22, 1885, and he lies buried in the cemetery at Cadiz. The Porters have been Presbyterians throughout the family history. While David Porter refused office in party affiliation, he was always active in affairs of the democratic party. The children born to David and Theresa (Stone) Porter are: Sarah, John D., Mary, Samuel B., James, David S. and Theresa Elizabeth.

When he was twenty-one years old Samuel B. Porter married Margaret, a daughter of John and Eliza (McFadden) Dickerson. For ten years they lived on a farm in Athens Township, when they located in Green Township. Mrs. Porter died there in 1900. He remained on the farm until May, 1918, when he moved to Cadiz. Mr. Porter owns two farms, there being 242 acres in the Green and 160 acres in the Cadiz farm. The building site in Green Township is one that commands a fine view of the surrounding country.

On October 31, 1906, Mr. Porter married Josephine Thomberry. Their sons and daughters are: Mary Belle, wife of Fry Shepler. They have one daughter, Myrtle, and they live in Chicago. David D. Porter married Harriet Haverfleld. Emma Alice is the wife of John Croskey. Samuel Augustus farms the land in Green Township. Eliza May Is the wife of William Corbley and lives in Cadiz. While living in Green Township, S. B. Porter served as trustee of the township four years.

The Porters were given common school advantages as they were growing Into manhood and womanhood, D. D. Porter attending public school in Cadiz, Green and Short Creek townships, and later he studied business methods in the Buchanan Business College at Hopedale. As a young man, however, he turned his attention to agriculture. On April 6, 1898, he married Harriet C. Haverfleld. She is a daughter of Nathan and Mary A. (Harper) Haverfleld. They located on a farm in Green Township, and in 1902 moved to their present home, the farm having been in the Porter family name for more than one hundred years. The deed from the Government was issued to the ancestry in the Porter family. The children born to D. D. Porter are: Everette H., December 8, 1901; David P., August 16, 1906; and Mary Doris, June 13, 1910. As in the past generations the Porter family are members of the Presbyterian Church In Cadiz.

William L». England, M. D. Few men of Harrison County have been more closely identified with the professional and business life of the county, or have won a greater measure of the esteem of his community than has Dr. William L. England, who for the past forty years has been a successful physician of Jewett.

Doctor England Is descended from an old Pennsylvania Quaker family which has been in Ohio for over 100 years. Isaac England, grandfather of the Doctor, was born in eastern Pennsylvania. He came to Jefferson County,

Ohio, in 1806, and a few years later he settled in Cross Creek Township, that county, on 135 acres of land, for which he paid $1,200, and this land is still in the family name. He became the father of a son, David, and a daughter, who married a Mr. Green.

David England, son of Isaac the pioneer, was born in Steubenville, Jefferson County, Ohio, in 1809. He spent practically his entire life upon the old England homestead, where he died in 1901. He married Elizabeth McGrew, who was born near Smithfleld, Jefferson County, Ohio, in 1830, the daughter of Finley and Deborah (Blackburn) McGrew. Finley McGrew was long a prosperous farmer in Jefferson County, where he reared a large family. The McGrews were Quakers. David England and wife became the parents of the following children : Dima, who has never married ; Isaac Newton, who served as an enlisted soldier during the Civil war as a private in Company H, Fortieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was taken sick, confined to the hospital and finally was Invalided home, where he died as a result of his disabilities in 1863; Deborah, who married Stephen Morton, a Civil war veteran; Oliver, who met death by drowning when he was twenty-one years of age; David, who was a resident of Steubenville, Ohio, where he died in January, 1920: William L., subject of this review, and John B., a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who died at S'enecaville, Ohio, in 1917.

Doctor England was born near Steubenville, Ohio, on April 18, 1853. He was educated in the district schools, Hopedale (Ohio) Normal School and the Slateliek Academy in Pennsylvania. He taught school for six years, and In 1878 entered the Columbus (Ohio) Medical College, where he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, class of '81. In April, 1881, he entered the general practice of medicine in Jewett. In 1884 he engaged In the retail drug business, and since that time he has practiced medicine in conjunction with his drug store.

For many years Doctor England has been active in the busines and civic affairs of Jewett, and has greatly contributed to the growth, development and welfare of his adopted city and of the entire community. In 1898 he assisted in the organization of the Jewett Bank, the only banking institution in this part of the county, and since its organization he has been its president and one of its guiding spirits. In 1909-10 Doctor England erected the England Block on Main Street, which is regarded as the best business property in Jewett. The block is of yellow-faced brick, forty-one by seventy-five feet in dimensions, two stories and is In every way a modern business building. The first floor is occupied by the England Drug Store and the James A. McKee Company's mercantile establishment, while the entire second floor is devoted to the England Auditorium, Jewett's only public hall. So It will be seen that Doctor England has done his full share In the civic as well as professional and business life of Jewett.

Thomas and Malissa (Martin) Roberts, and to them have been born three children, as follows: Thomas, who died an infant in 1885; Elizabeth, who became the wife of Dr. C. EL Lynch and they are residing at Middletown, Ohio; and William, who married Susan Beeman and resides at Gallon, Ohio. In addition to their own children, Doctor and Mrs. England have reared two nephews, Paul R. and John R. England. The former was but two weeks old when he was taken into Doctor England's home. He was educated in the Jewett High School, the Sclo School of Pharmacy and the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy, and is now the proprietor of the England Drug Company of Alliance, Ohio. He married Carrie Dennis. John R. became an inmate of the England family when he was eight years of age, and that was his home until, at the age of eighteen years, he enlisted In the United States Marines for service in the World war He died in the Portsmouth (Virginia) Naval Hospital on Christmas day, 1917.

Doctor England and wife are members of the Jewett Methodist Episcopal Church, in the work of which they take deep interest. In all the relations of life, professional, business and social, Doctor England has lived up to high standards and ideals, and by doing so he has now a lasting place in the esteem of his fellowcitizens which will serve to keep him in grateful remembrance by the people, especially by the many to whom he has ministered professionally for so many years.

Joseph H. Long, deceased, was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, June 21, 1845, and in the same county his parents, James and Sarah (Kell) Long, passed their entire lives. There the father was born in the year 1819, a son of Robert and Abigail (Kell) Long, the former of whom for many years followed the vocation of blacksmith at Connellsville, Fayette County. Later he purchased a small farm near that place, where he continued to work at his trade in connection with his farming operations and where he and his wife passed the remainder of their lives. They had the following children : James, John, Samuel, William. Robert, David, Sarah and Mary. Mrs. Sarah (Kell) Long was born at Connellsville, Pennsylvania, and was a daughter of Gustavus and Abigail (Smith) Kell, the former of whom was born In Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and the latter at Connellsville, Fayette County, in which latter county Mr. Kell became a prosperous farmer.

The public schools of his native county afforded Joseph H. Long his youthful education, and as a young man he continued to be associated with farm enterprise during the summer seasons, the while he taught in the district schools during the intervening winter terms. Eventually he engaged independently In farming in Franklin Township, Fayette County, and the passing years brought to him due returns for his earnest and well directed activities as an agriculturist and stock-grower in his native county. There he served twentv-three years as a justice of the peace, and in his rulings he made the office justify Its title, his fairness and mature judgment enabling him to render judicial decisions that conserved equity and justice and that added to his strong hold upon the confidence and esteem of the community that long represented his home. He was a supporter of the principles of the democratic party until the prohibition party was organized and always afterward he was a member of that party. He was an earnest member of the United Presbyterian Church in his home village.

On the 7th of November, 1867, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Long to Miss Ann Elizabeth Essington, daughter of Jacob Essington, of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and they have been residents of Cadiz, Ohio, since 1905.

Francis M. Heavilin, who is a popular representative of one of the sterling pioneer families of Harrison County, and who is one of the vigorous and successful exponents of farm enterprise in Archer Township, was born in Stock Township, this county, September 16. 1851, and is a son of Isaac and Susannah (Bricker) Heavilin, both likewise natives of Harrison County, where the former was born in Cadiz Township August 3, 1811, and where the latter was born in Green Township in November, 1823. Her parents, Henry and Lydia (Meisor) Bricker, were pioneers of the county, as were also Samuel and Mary (LaPort) Heavilin, paternal grandparents of him whose name introduces this paragraph. Samuel Heavilin came to Harrison County in the first decade of the nineteenth century, when this section of the Buckeye State was little else than a forest wilderness, and he secured 160 acres of Government land in what is now Cadiz Township. From the forest wilds he developed a productive farm, and here he and his wife passed the residue of their lives, both having been consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They became the parents of a fine family of thirteen children, namely; Elizabeth,

Isaac Heavilin was reared under the conditions that marked the pioneer epoch in the history of Harrison County and in his youth he learned the shoemaker's trade, to which he gave his attention during the greater part of his active life, though he accumulated farm property and aided his sons in their active management of the same, his farm having comprised 123 acres. His marriage was solemnized in Cadiz Township and both continued to maintain their home in Harrison County until their deaths, when venerable in years and secure in the high regard of all who knew them.

They became the parents of three children - Henry, Francis M. and Albert W. Albert W. Heavilin died September 14, 1917, and the other two sons still remain in Harrison County.

Francis M. Heavilin is indebted to the schools of Cadiz Township for his early educational training, and in that township also he initiated his independent activities as a farmer. In 1875 he purchased and removed to his present fine homestead farm of 148 acres in Archer Township, and in the same township he now owns another well improved farm, which comprises 130 acres. He has been especially progressive in his enterprise as an agriculturist and stockgrower, and his excellent management of his farm property has gained to him the maximum returns, while he has been specially successful in the raising of sheep. His political support is given to the democratic party, and he and his wife are active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church known as Asbury Chapel.

March 4, 1875, recorded the marriage of Mr. Heavilin to Miss Jennie Anderson, daughter of Hugh and Catherine Anderson, representatives of old and honored families of Harrison Township, and of the ten children of this union brief record is given in conclusion of this review: Anna is the wife of Arthur Beck, and they have three children - Elizabeth, Frances and Anna.

At the age of nineteen years he learned the trade of telegraph operator, and as a skilled operator he continued in the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company about ten years. In the spring of 1919 he established his home on his present excellent farm of 100 acres In Monroe Township, Harrison County, where as a successful agriculturist his youthful experience is coming into practical and effective utilization. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and his wife holds membership in the Baptist Church. On April 24, 1916, he wedded Miss WInnifred Barger, daughter of James C. Barger, of whom individual mention is made on other pages of this work. Mr. and Mrs. Heavilin have two children - Phyllis Jane and Eugene Vincent.

Elmeb E. Green. In the heart of every man there lies a deep and abiding love for the place of his birth, and the one who is fortunate enough to secure possession of his family homestead is to be envied. Elmer E. Green of Washington Township is one of the farmers of Harrison County who Is thus favored, for he owns the farm on which he was born on November 3, 1863, and here he has passed his entire life, so that he is thoroughly identified with the locality and has taken part in its later development. He is the son of James S. and Eliza (Petty) Green.

The grandfather, Richard Green, was born in Maryland, and came to Ohio at a very early day, settling in Tuscarawas County. His children were as follows: William, Robert, Joel, John, Barbara and James S. The last named was born in April, 1822, and died March 31, 1901. He married Eliza Petty, who was born in Nottingham Township, Harrison County, Ohio.

While still a young, unmarried man James S'. Green came to Tippecanoe, Washington Township, Harrison County, Ohio, and worked at his trade of wagonmaking. In about 1852 he bought 230 acres of land in Washington Township, and remained on his farm the remainder of his life. He and his wife had the following children: Thompson, Albert, George (deceased), Elizabeth, Ellen. Lafayette, Margaret. Elmer E. and Almeda. Both parents were consistent members of the United Brethren Church.

Elmer E. Green was reared on the homestead and attended the local schools. He assisted hi9 father In the farm work, and when the latter died inherited eighty-four and one-half acres, containing the homestead, and here he is carrying on general farming and dairying with gratifying success.

On August 4, 1886, he was married to Lona Johnson, born in Nottingham Township, a daughter of Adolphus and Sarah Anna (Rowland) Johnson. Adolphus Johnson was a farmer and blacksmith of Nottingham Township who died November 30, 1918, his wife having passed away November 30, 1910. The children born to Adolphus Johnson and his wife were as follows: Ellen, Rhoda. William (deceased), Lona. Emma, Frank, Susan (deceased), Olive, Lloyd and Maud and Forrest, both of whom are deceased.

Mr. and Mrs. Green became the parents of the following children: Florence, who married George Carrothers, has two children. Carl and Nellie: Iva, who died March 14, 1918. married Harvey Blackwell, had three children, George,

Mabel and Wilma; Olive, who married Chester Blackwell, had four children, Zelma, Harry, Vivian and Clyde; Sadie, who married Edward Mallemee; Jesse, who is mentioned below; Brady, who is at home; and Elwood and Viola, who are also at home. The family all belong to the United Brethren Church. For four years Mr. Green served as assessor of Washington Township, and since January, 1920, he has been one of the trustees of the township.

Jesse M. Green is one of the veterans of the great war, and entered the service July 24, 1918. He was stationed at Camp Sherman and assigned to Company EX Three Hundred and Thirty-sixth Infantry, Eighty-fourth Division. His organization sailed for France September 3, 1918, and after landing he was transferred to Company F, Three Hundred and Sixty-second Infantry, Ninety-first Division. Mr. Green served on the Belgian front from October 31 to November 11, the day of the signing of the armistice. He arrived in the United States on his return home April 16, 1919, and after receiving his honorable discharge came back to the farm. Although he is fortunate in escaping injury,. he doubtless will carry with him through life the effects of his experience just as the veterans of the war between the states have done. No man of peaceful disposition can leave the ordinary occupations of life and become a soldier at the front without feeling the results upon his return home. Fortunately for the men and country Americans are very adaptable, and the majority of the returned soldiers will be the better citizens for their sacrificial service and take a deeper interest in the affairs of the Government they risked their Jives and limbs to save.

Samuel Beach. As executive head of the Beach Milling Company in the village of Malvern, Mr. Beach became a prominent representative of industrial and commercial enterprise in Carroll County. He takes due pride In claiming Ohio as the place of his nativity, and is a representative of a family that early became one of prominence in connection with civic and material development and progress in Ashtabula County. He was bom In that county April 23, 1845, and is a son of Joshua H. and Amy Ann (Kyle) Beach, the former of whom was bora in Connecticut, a scion of colonial New Elngland stock, and the latter was born in the State of New York, where their marriage was solemnized, he having accompanied his parents on their removal from Connecticut to the Empire State. Joshua H. Beach was a young man when he came to Ashtabula County, Ohio, and joined his older brother, Marvin W., who had there settled about the year 1823 and who became an influential pioneer citizen of the county. The subject of this sketch was but three days old at the time of his mother's death, and he was fourteen years old when his father's death occurred, in 1859. He was the younger of two children, his older sister being Marla Cecelia, who was a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, at the time of her death. For his second wife the father married Mrs. Harrison Hunt, her family name having been Poole, and of this union was born one child, Rosalie. Joshua H. Beach was a carpenter by trade, and as a young man became a successful contractor and erected a number of the early houses in Trumbull and Ashtabula counties. He was a whig in politics until the organization of the republican party, when he united with the latter, to which he gave his allegiance until the time of his death, only a few years later.

Samuel Beach gained his early education fe the schools of Trumbull County, and was sixteen years of age at the inception of the Civil war. His youthful patriotism was not long to be curbed, for in 1863 he enlisted as a private in Company C, One Hundred and Seventyseventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry, with which he proceeded to the front and with which he took part in seventeen engagements, principally of minor order. He continued in service until the close of the war and after receiving his honorable discharge returned to Ohio. For some time thereafter he was employed in a shop in which were manufactured farm implements, principally forks, in Trumbull County, and later he engaged in the manufacturing of handles for farm tools. Thereafter he passed a number of years in the oil regions of Pennsylvania, where he was identified with oil producing activities. About 1896, in partnership with his eldest son, Charles R., he erected a grist mill at Jefferson, the judicial center of Ashtabula County, Ohio, and after operating this mill three years they sold the property and went to Albion, Pennsylvania, where they engaged in the general merchandise business and also conducted a feed store. There Mr. Beach remained twelve years, at the expiration of which he disposed of his business interests in Pennsylvania and returned to Ohio. In July, 1910, he established his residence at Malvern, and here he erected the thoroughly modern flour mill which has since been successfully operated under the corporate title of the Beach Milling Company. Though Mr. Beach still continues his interest in this Industrial enterprise he is now living virtually retired and his son Charles R. has the active management of the substantial business.

Mr. Beach has been an ardent supporter of the principles of the republican party from the time of his youth. He is affiliated with the Grand Army of the Republic and is now probably the oldest member of the Lodge of Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Geneva, Ashtabula County, with which he has been affiliated since 1872,

In 1867 was recorded the marriage of Mr. Beach to Miss Susan Davis, who was bora March 6, 1849, a daughter of Robert and Sallle (Colvin) Davis. She was bom In Pennsylvania, as were also her parents, and was a child at the time of the family removal to Geneva, Ohio. Her parents in later years returned to Pennsylvania and established their home in Erie County, where the father died January 29, 1892, at the age of sixty-eight years, and where the mother died in 1902, at the age of seventyseven years. They became the parents of nine children: Lester died in January, 1920, at Ashtabula; Demetrius died In 1914; William died about 1915; Susan is the wife of Mr. Beach, of this review; Polly died in 1875, when about twenty-five years of age ; Leona, Lois and Emma and Ella, twins, are the younger daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Beach became the parents of two children, Charles R. and Lynn H. Charles R. Beach was bom in the year 1868, and received his early education in the public schools of Ohio and Pennsylvania and in an academy at Waterford in the latter state. He has long been associated with his father in business uua now has the active control of the prosperous enterprise of the Beach Milling Company, as previously noted in this review. He married Miss Louise Chenot, whose death occurred February 16, 1918. They became the parents of four children - Heber (died In March, 1917), Robert, Samuel (named in honor of his paternal grandfather) and Susan Rose. Lynn H. Beach was born November 20, 1876, and gained his youthful education principally at Waterford, Pennsylvania. He served four years in the United States Navy, and within this period made the voyage around the world. After retiring from the navy he took a course in electrical and steam engineering, to which he devoted his attention for several years. He installed the Delco electric light system in the mill of the Beach Milling Company and is now associated with his brother In the active operation of this mill. He married Miss Maude Lawton, of Harrison County, and they are popular factors in the social life of Malvern.

Frank B. Hostebman, manager of the Bowman-Hosterman Company, manufacturers of aluminum ware and toys at Carrollton, has been vigorous and resourceful in the development and upbuilding of the prosperous industrial enterprise conducted by this company and is one of the staunch and progressive business men of his native county. He was bora in Loudon Township, Carroll County, June 1, 1863, and is a son of Peter and Rebecca (Hlbbs) Hosterman, the former a native of Harrison County and the latter of Carroll County, where her parents were early settlers. Peter Hosterman was a son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Winnings) Hosterman, both of whom were born in the state of Pennsylvania and the former of whom became one of the pioneer settlers in Harrison County, Ohio, where he established his residence in 1805 and became one of the substantial farmers of German Township. There he died August 8, 1850, the date of his birth having been December 20, 1782. He was a democrat In politics, and he and his wife were communicants of the Lutheran Church.

Peter Hosterman was reared under the conditions of the pioneer period in the history of Harrison County and in his youth he learned the blacksmith's trade. He was a young man when he came to Carroll County and engaged in the work of his trade, and he also became actively associated with farm enterprise. He was one of the sterling citizens of Loudon Township at the time of his death, in 1881, and his second wife, mother of the subject of this review, died in 1887, their children having been one son and two daughters, Nora and Ellen. Eight children were bora of the first marriage of Peter Hosterman. He was a republican in political allegiance and held to the faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Frank B. Hosterman gained his early education in the public schools at Kilgore, Loudon Township, and after attaining to adult age was for some time engaged in independent farm enterprise In his native township, where he conducted operations on a farm of 100 acres. At the age of eighteen years he entered upon an apprenticeship in the woodwork department of the carrlagemaker's trade, and to his trade he devoted his attention about six years. For nearly a score of years thereafter he followed the carpenter's trade, and he then became identified with the manufacturing of toys and novelties at Carrollton, the outgrowth of this enterprise being the substantial manufacturing industry now conducted under the title of the Bowman-Hosterman Company, Mr. Hosterman being one of the owners of the substantial business, of which he assumed individual control in 1917. His only son, Faber, is actively associated with him in the management of the business, the company being incorporated under the laws of the state.

Politically Mr. Hosterman is found aligned in the ranks of the republican party, is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias, and he and his family hold membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

In 1885 was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Hosterman to Miss Mary McIntyre, likewise a native of Carroll County, who died In 1902, leaving three children. Faber, who is associated with his father in business, as previously noted, married Miss Lena Price, of Akron, die having been born in Henry County, Missouri, and they have one son, Franklin Boliver, bora September 8, 1920. Freda is the wife of Forrest Marshall, of Carrollton, and they have two children, Dean and Mary. Donna is the wife of Homer Algeo, of Carrollton, their one child being a daughter, Mary. In 1904, Mr. Hosterman married Emma Dehoff, of Carroll County.

John B. Stewabt is a representative of the fourth generation of the Stewart family in Carroll County, with whose history the name has been identified for an entire century. Mr. Stewart is now one of the principals of the Stewart Company, which conducts a substantial general dry goods business at Carrollton, and is one of the vital business men of the younger generation in his native county. He was bora in Perry Township, Carroll County, January 8, 1882, and is a son of Alfred A. and Laura B. (yasbinder) Stewart, the former of whom was born in Perry Township June 4, 1858, and the latter was born, at Jewett, Harrison County, April 27, 1861, their marriage having been solemnized October 16, 1879.

Alfred Anson Stewart passed his entire life in Carroll County and was long numbered among the successful and influential farmers of Perry Township, his death having occurred January 25, 1916. His widow is now a resident of Carrollton. In earlier years he was actively associated with the operation of the tannery owned by his father, but the basic industry of agriculture received the major part of his time and attention throughout his active career. He was a republican in politics and was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as is also his widow. Mr. Stewart was the owner of one of the finest farm properties in Perry Township, and was loyal and liberal in connection with all community interests. Alfred A. and Laura B. Stewart became the parents of five children, whose names and respective dates of birth are here noted: Ella May, August 12, 1880; John

Buchanan, January 8, 1882; Ralph Melville, January 19, 1884; Homer Arthur, June 21, 1886 (died February 24, 1887) : and Harry Ross, December 18, 1887. Miss Ella May Stewart was graduated in the Carrollton High School in 1901, and thereafter was employed as a clerk in the local mercantile establishment of the Sheherd & Balzer Company, besides which she held a position at Alliance, Stark County, for two and one- half years. In 1915 she became associated with her mother and brother John B. in the general merchandise business at Carrollton, and in January, 1919, the business was removed to the present location, on the south side of the Public Square, the building having been purchased by the Stewart Company and having long been known as the Baker Block. The store of the company is 30 by 120 feet in dimensions and is modern in equipment in every department, the while the concern controls a large and representative trade.

John B. Stewart continued his studies in the public schools until he had completed the work of the junior year in the Carrollton High School, and thereafter he took an effective course in a leading business college in the city of Cleveland. For a time he was employed as a bookkeeper in Cleveland, Ohio. He next spent six years as salesman for the Canton Hardware Company, thereafter was for six years with the Alliance Hardware Company, and for a time he was similarly associated with the Klein-Heffelman hardware establishment at Canton, Ohio. In January, 1915, he returned to Carrollton and became associated with his mother and sister in purchasing the stock and business of Harry Butler, since which time the enterprise has been successfully continued under the title of the Stewart Company, general dry goods, with Mr. Stewart as general manager.

Mr. Stewart gives his support to the cause of the republican party, and Is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He and his wife hold membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

August 4, 1906, was marked by the marriage of Mr. Stewart to Miss Elizabeth Kelly, of Toronto, Jefferson County. The two children of this union are: Arthur, born October 12, 1908; and Ethel, born January 3, 1910.

Ralph M. Stewart, next ^ounger brother of the subject of this review, likewise is a member of the Stewart Company. He married M>** Mary Tope, of Carrollton, and they have one child, Helen. Harry R. Stewart, youngest of the brothers, died at the age of fourteen years.

Edward Stewart, grandfather of he whose name Introduces this review, was long one of the most prominent and influential citizens of Perry Township, where he owned not only a valuable farm but also a tannery, which he operated for many years. He was born In Perry Township February 21, 1826, of staunch Scotch- Irish lineage. His grandfather, Edward Hill

Stewart, was born and reared in Maryland and he and his wife, whose maiden name was Susannah Clay, were pioneer settlers In Jefferson County, Ohio, where they passed the remainder of their lives. Edward Stewart was a son of Mahlon and Elizabeth (Park) Stewart, who became residents of Jefferson County, Ohio, In 1804, and who came in 1820 to what is now Carroll County, where Mr. Stewart secured a tract of wild land in the present Perry Township. Here he reclaimed a farm from the forest and was one of the honored pioneer citizens of the county at the time of his death, in 1879, when nearly ninety-two years of age, his wife having passed away in 1871. He assisted in the organization of Carroll County and owned the land on which the present village of Perrysvilie stands, he having laid out that village in 1835. He was influential in public affairs in the county, was originally a whig and later a republican in politics, and both he and his wife held membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church, though Mrs. Stewart was a birthright member of the Society of Friends.

Edward Stewart was reared under the conditions of the pioneer days and assisted in the reclamation and improvement of the home farm. In 1847 he wedded Miss Martha Ann Davis, of Harrison County, and they became the parents of eleven children. Mr. Stewart was owner of one of the finest farm properties in Perry Township at the time of his death and was one of the county's progressive and Influential citizens, with secure place in popular confidence and esteem. As a republican he was elected county commissioner, in which office he served with characteristic efficiency and acceptability, and he and his wife were zealous members of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Perrysvilie. Both were venerable in years when they passed from the stage of life's mortal endeavors.

John C. Stubbins, of Cadiz, Harrison County, was born in Cadiz on the 15th of December, 1844. He is a son of Mordecai and Mary (Crozier) Stubbins, the former of whom was born in Baltimore County, Maryland, and the latter in Ireland. Mordecai Stubbins was a son of Rev. Henry Stubbins, the family name of whose wife was Parrish, and they were numbered among the pioneer settlers of Harrison County, to which state they made the long overland journey from Maryland with teams and wagons. Rev. Stubbins was one of the pioneer clergymen of the United Brethren Church in this section of the Buckeye State, and he and his wife continued to reside at Cadiz until their death.

Mordecai Stubbins was reared to manhood in Harrison County, and as a skilled wagonmaker he was for many years engaged in the work of his trade at Cadiz, where both he and his wife died when well advanced in years. Of their children the first-born. Henry, died in infancy; Margaret became the wife of Thomas Brooks; Amanda married John Bayless; John C., of this review, was the next in order of birth and the youngest of the family, he being now the only survivor. The parents were active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church for many years prior to their death.

John O. Stubbins is indebted to the pioneer village schools of Cadiz for his early education, and as a young man he here learned the trade of shoemaker. He was working at his trade and was about sixteen years old at the outbreak of the Civil war, and his youth prevented him from entering forthwith into military service. His patriotism was not long denied such recognition, however, for in February, 1864, he enlisted as a private in Company K, One Hundred and Seventieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, his term of enlistment being for one hundred days. He proceeded with his command to the front, and on the 18th of July, 1864, took part in an engagement at Snickers Ferry, Virginia, besides participating in the battle of Winchester, that state, on the 24th of the same month, and taking part in many skirmishes. He made an excellent record as a gallant young soldier and received his honorable discharge September 10, 1864. He returned to his home at Cadiz, and for twelve years thereafter he here continued to work at his trade. He was then appointed city marshal, of which office he continued the efficient and valued incumbent for the long period of twenty-two years. Since 1001 Mr. Stubbins has served as bailiff of the court and is one of the popular officials at the county building. He is a republican in politics, is an appreciative and honored member of the local post of the Grand Army of* the Republic, the ranks of which have been greatly thinned by the one invincible foe, death, and he is identified also with the Independent Order of Odd Fellow's. Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

On the 17th of July, 1872, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Stubbins to Miss Leora Houser, who was born and reared in Harrison County, a daughter of the late Wilson I>. Houser, who was born at Cadiz April 1, 1828, a son of one of the early pioneer families of Harrison County, Ohio. Wilson L. Houser continued his residence at Cadiz until his death. Mr. and Mrs. Stubbins have no children.

Orlando K. Martin. In reviewing in this history the records of the time-honored families of Harrison County it is specially gratifying to note that Orlando K. Martin and his only brother, William H., are associated in the ownership and work of the fine old homestead farm in Cadiz Township, on which they were bom and reared, in the management of which they have been constantly allied from the time when their honored father became incapacitated by blindness. William Hamilton Martin, the older brother, was bom on this farm, May 17. 1855, and has remained a bachelor, his home having been maintained with his brother continuously since the death of their parents. They own. in addition to the old homestead which comprises 120 acres, another tract of fifty acres in the same township, and they are numbered among the substantial and representative agriculturists and stock-growers of their native county. The birth of Orlando K. occurred July 23, 1857.

George Martin, father of he whose name introduces this review, was bom on the farm later owned by Aaron Ross in Cadiz Township, and the date of his nativity was March 1, 1817.

He was a son of Arthur and Margaret (Ury$ Martin, the former a native of Ireland and the latter of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Fifteen days after the birth of their son George the parents removed to the farm now owned and occupied by their grandsons, and there they passed the remainder of their lives, as honored pioneer citizens of the county. In a previous publication, issued prior to the death of George Martin, appeared an appreciative estimate that is worthy of reproduction, with slight paraphrase, In this connection:

"George Martin was a young man whose jollity and lightness of spirits contributed largely to the merrymakings of the early days in Harrison County, and he grew to manhood much as did the other farm boys of those early days. On the 3d of January, 1853, he married Miss Rachel H. Kennedy, daughter of John and Matilda Kennedy and a native of Tuscarawas County, Ohio. In February following their marriage they came to the home which was to be theirs during the remainder of their earnest and worthy lives, the loved wife and mother having passed to the life eternal January 17. 1881, at the age of forty-nine years. In 1877 Mr. Martin lost the sight of his left eye, and soon the other eye became sympathetically affected. Though he went to the medical department of the celebrated University of Michigan for consultation and treatment, in spite. of all that could be done, his sight gradually became dimmer, until at last the flickering spark of day went out, leaving him to grope his aged way in midnight darkness. His farm is cared for by his sons. George Martin's work Is finished, but he is sustained and comforted by the filial devotion of his children and by the affectionate regard of his many friends." This venerable pioneer passed away August 14, 1895. at the age of seventy-eight years, and he is held in affectionate memory In the county that was his home during his entire life. Of the three children the eldest is Angelina, who Is the wife of Rev. A. B. Con well and who now resides at Colorado Springs, Colorado, William H. being the second and Orlando K. the youngest of the children.

Orlando K. Martin, like his brother, gained his early education In the schools of his native township, and his entire active career has been marked by association with the work and management of the old home farm, which is endeared to him by many gracious memories and associations. He and his brother are staunch republicans, and he has served three terms as trustee of his native township. At the November election of 1920 he was elected sheriff of Harrison County on the republican ticket. lie and his wife, ns also his brother, hold membership in Asbury Methodist Episcopal Chapel, and he is affiliated with the lodge of Knights of Pythias at Cadiz, the county seat.

On the 23d of July, 1884, was solemnized the marriage of Orlando K. Martin to Miss Emma E. Carson, who likewise was born and reared in Harrison County, a daughter of David L. and Ella (Wells) Carson. Mr. Carson was born in Nottingham Township, this county. November 24. 1.842, and his wife was born in Cadiz Township on the 2d of October of the same year, a daughter of Charles and Mary (Day) Wells, her father having been a pioneer settler and influential citizen of Cadiz Township and having served two terms as county commissioner. Mr. Wells died January 19, 1901, at a venerable age. His children were four in number - Sarah Margaret, Mary Ellen, Amanda Elizabeth and Laticia Isabel. William Carson, father of David L. Carson, was bom in Nottingham Township, a son of John and Hannah (Rogers) Carson, who were bom and reared in Maryland, where their marriage was solemnized and whence they came to Harrison County, Ohio, about the opening year of the nineteenth centurv, to become very early settlers in Nottingham Township, where Mr. Carson reclaimed a farm from the virgin forest apd where he and his wife passed the remainder of their lives. William Carson and his wife, Elizabeth, became the parents of three sons and five daughters. * David L. Carson, eldest of the children, continued as one of the representative farmers of Cadiz Township until his death, which occurred March 6, 19#8, and his widow passed to eternal rest on the 3d of October, 1912. They became the parents of the following children: Emma E.f Charles, Margaret, Minnie, Clara, Walter, who resides at Galesbum, Illinois; Harry, deceased; Reid, a resident of Illinois; Ernest, residing at Columbus, Ohio; and George, likewise a resident of Columbus. Mr. and Mrs. Orlando K. Martin have but one. child, Clara B., wife of Halbert B. Heastan, a teacher In the public schools of the city of PaSsaic, New Jersey.

S. Frank Groves. Farming and stockraising engage the undivided attention* of a large proportion of the substantial men of Washington Township, - where may also be found many of Harrison County's mogt intelligent and reliable citizens. As a rule they are quiet, hard-working, unassuming men, who go about their Important duties in a practical, sensible way, and through their labor and agricultural knowledge contribute their full proportion of food for the world. There are an unusual number of well-kept estates in this section, but there are few that excel in any way the finely cultivated and well-improved farm of S. Frank Groves, who has owned and operated this place since 1895.

S. Frank Groves was born in Rush Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, October 9, 1865. His parents were James and Nancy (Fleming) Groves, both of whom were born in Harrison County and were married in Washington Township. Shortly afterward James Groves removed to Tuscarawas County and settled in Rush Township, where the rest of his life was passed as a general farmer. He owned two valuable farms, one containing 260 acres in Tuscarawas County, and the other comprising 116 acres lying in Washington Township, Harrison County. His death occurred January 4, 1904, and that of his wife on July 13, 1902. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They were the parents of four children, namely : Alfretta, Emma Laura, Violinda Allen and S. Frank, all living except Violinda.

S. Frank Groves had excellent educational privileges In the public schools of Rush Township, and as the only son of the family remained with his father until his own marriage, following which he began farming on his own account in Rush Township, Tuscarawas County. He had been well trained in farm work from boyhood, and, furthermore, took a deep interest in his farm and stock and prospered accordingly. In 1898 he came to his present place in Washington Township, Harrison County, and this has continued his home ever since. He owns 131 acres in his home farm and forty-five acres of the old homestead in Tuscarawas County. The fine improvements and substantial buildings on his Washington Township farm have all been placed here by Mr. Groves. He is a progressive and enterprising farmer, carrying on his undertakings with the aid of modem machinery and according to approved methods.

In 1890 Mr. Groves was married to Miss Anna Bell Boyd, daughter of George and Eliza V. (Markie) Boyd, and they have two children: Nellie B. and Franklin Eugene, both of whom, have been well educated and both are at home. Mr. Groves has always taken a good citizen's Interest In public affairs but has never been particularly active in politics. As a good farmer, fair-minded neighbor and reliable citizen, Mr. Groves is held In regard by all who know him.

Richard H. Lee has long held prestige as one of the representative civil engineers in northeastern Ohio, has been actively concerned with ' important railway construction work in a' professional capacity, and though he has now * passed the psalmist's span of three score years and ten, he continues to give effective service in the profession which he has followed from his - young manhood. Mr. Lee is an honored representative of one of the oldest and best known families of Carroll County, where Lee Township was named in honor of his paternal grandfather, and he maintains his home at Carrollton, the judicial center of the county.

Carroll County was organized in 1833, and It was more than a quarter of a century prior to that year that Alexander Lee, grandfather of Richard H., established himself as a pioneer settler within the borders of this county. He was bom In County Donegal, Ireland, and was a young man when he established his home in. Somerset County, Pennsylvania, where was solemnized his marriage to Martha Hammell. Within a few years after their marriage the young couple came to Ohio and located in Jefferson County, whence, in 1806, they came to what Is now Carroll County and settled in the midst of the virgin forest that then marked Lee Township. Here Alexander Lee reclaimed a productive farm, endured the full tension of pioneer life and did well his part in the initial civic and industrial development of the county, both he and his wife having remained on their old homestead until their death. They were earnest members of the Presbyterian Church. They became the parents of six sons and three daughters, and of the number Ezekiel R., father of the subject of this review, was the eighth in order of birth.

Ezekiel R. Lee was bom on the old pioneer homestead, in Lee Township, in the year 1813, and here he passed his entire life, as a substantial and successful exponent of agricultural In- dustry. He died November 23, 1860, in the prime of his strong and useful manhood, and in all of the relations of life he had well upheld the high honors of the family name. It may be noted that his father, the founder of the family in Carroll County, had gone back to Pennsylvania for a visit, and that he died while thus absent, the pioneer conditions having been such as to make transfer of news slow and inadequate, with the result that his family never learned where this honored pioneer was laid to rest after his death, when well advanced in years. As a young man Ezekiel R. Lee married Jane Ann Bebout, who was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, June 17, 1827, and who survived him by more than half a century, she having been eighty-nine years of age at the time of her death, on the 16th of February, 1916. She was a daughter of John and Rebecca (Howey) Bebout, the former a native of New Jersey and the latter of Pennsylvania, where their marriage occurred and whence they came to Carroll County, Ohio, in 1836, their home being established on a farm in Washington Township, where Mr. Bebout passed the remainder of his life, his widow having passed the closing years of her life in the* home of her daughter Jane A., wife of Ezekiel R. Lee, and both having been active members of the Presbyterian Church.

Ezekiel R. Lee was reared and educated under the conditions that marked the pioneer days in Carroll County, and in addition to gaining a plethora of experience in connection with farm work he also learned the tanner's trade, at Cadiz, Harrison County. However he devoted the major part of his active career to agricultural and live-stock industry, and he and his brother were prominent stock drovers in the early days. He was a vigorous abolitionist in the period leading up to the Civil war and he cast his last vote in support of Abraham Lincoln for the presidency, his death having occurred the year prior to the inception of thfr Civil war. Both he and his wife were zealous members of the Presbyterian Church. Of their children, Richard Henry, whose name introduces this review, is the eldest ; John B. died in March, 1876 ; Horace G. is a resident of Canton, Stark County; Alexander died in infancy; and James A. resides at Harlem Springs, Carroll County.

Richard Henry Lee was born on his father's farm, in Lee Township, Carroll County, and the date of his nativity was November 24, 1848. Ambitious, self-reliant and of alert mentality, he was not satisfied to avail himself merely of the advantages of the common schools of the locality and period, as is demonstrated by his having pursued higher studies in Harlem College, at Harlem Springs, and by his finally entering Cornell University, at Ithaca, New York. In this latter institution he completed a thorough course in civil engineering, and to the profession for which he thus fitted himself he has devoted his attention during the long intervening years, which have recorded his association with a large amount of railroad surveying work, as well as a number of years' service as county surveyor of Carroll County. He is now ohe of the venerable citizens of Carrollton, with a wide acquaintanceship throughout this section of the state, and with a record of achievement that adds much to the distinction of the family name. Mr. Lee is a stalwart republican, holds membership in the Reformed Church, and his wife is a member of the Presbyterian Church.

On the 7th of April, 1881, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Lee to Miss Mary Steeves, who likewise was born and reared in Carroll County, a daughter of Martin and Martha (Lee) Steeves. Mr. Steeves came to Carroll County from New Brunswick, Canada, and here he became a successful farmer and stock-drover. He was accidentally killed, in 1863, £nd his widow, surviving him by many years, was of venerable age at the time of her death.

Edward Maple. After having long been numbered among the successful representatives of farm industry In his native county, Mr. Maple sold his farm and in the spring of 1920 removed to Carrolltbn, the county seat, where he is now living retired and finds merited surcease from the industrial labors and responsibilities that were formerly his portion.

Mr. Maple was born in Ctenter Township, Carroll County, on the 31st of May, 1851, and is a son of David and Elizabeth (Dray) Maple, the former of whom likewise was a native of Center Township, where he was born in the year 1821, and the latter of whom was born in Trumbull County, this state. David Maple was a son of John and Mary Maple, who came from Pennsylvania to Carroll County in the early pioneer era, before the organization of the county, and who settled in Center Township, where the father obtained a tract of land and reclaimed a farm from the forest wilds. On this old homestead he and his wife passed the remainder of their lives, reared their children and contributed their portion to the civic and material development of the county. David Maple early began to assist in the arduous work of the pioneer farm which was the place of his birth, and his educa tionnl advantages were those afforded in the primitive schools of the locality and period. He eventually became the owner of a valuable landed estate of 600 acres, and was one of the substantial farmers and honored citizens of Center Township at the time of his death in 1888, his wife having passed away in 1886. He was a republican in politics and his wife was a member of the Christian Church. They became the parents of six children - Edward, Jacob, Mary Elizabeth, Susan, Anna Theresa and George Washington.

The old homestead farm gave its benignant influence and discipline to the childhood and youth of Edward Maple, and his alert mind broadened its ken through his application to study In the public schools of the locality. He learned all details of farm industry while yet a youth, and when the father made provision for his children by giving to each a farm Edward received as hie allotment an excellent place of 160 acres in Center Township.
