Harrison Township (part 8 of 37)

Mr. Hilligas was born in Short Creek Township December 6, 1847, and is a son of William M. and Jane (Sparrow) Hilligas, the former of whom was born in Cadiz Township, this county, August 9, 1818, and the latter was born in Green Township November 8, 1819, she having been a daughter of Eli and Nancy (Dihal) Sparrow. Eli Sparrow was born and reared in Montgomery County, Maryland, and he came to the western frontier as a soldier in the War of 1812, but it was not until about the year 1816 that he removed from Maryland to Harrison County, Ohio, the long and hazardous overland journey having been made with team and wagon and he and his wife having become early settlers of Green Township, where he not only followed his trade, that of shoemaker, but also instituted the reclamation of a farm, both he and his wife having here passed the remainder of their lives. They became the parents of five children: Samuel, Jane, Lorena (Mrs. Elias

William M. Hilligas was a son of Conrad Creighton Hilligas and Elosia Selvada (Maffitt) Hilligas, the latter's parents having been natives of Holland. Conrad C. Hilligas came from Fayette County, Pennsylvania, to Harrison County, Ohio, about the year 1802, and he was one of the very early settlers at Cadiz, the present judicial center of the county. Here he engaged in the work of his trade, that of carpenter, and all of his sons, Tunnis, David, William M. and Conrad, likewise became skilled workmen at this trade, their apprenticeship to which was served under the effective direction of their father. Conrad C. Hilligas and his wife were honored pioneer citizens of Harrison County at the time of their deaths, and Mrs. Hilligas was a zealous member of the Disciples Church.

William M. Hilligas was reared under the conditions marking the pioneer epoch in this history of Harrison County, was afforded the advantages of the primitive schools of the locality and period, and in his youth he learned the carpenter's trade under the tutorship of his father. He followed his trade to a greater or less extent for many years in Short Creek Township, where he owned a home, both he and his wife having remained in this township until the close of their earnest and worthy lives, and Mrs. Hilligas was a devout member of the Disciples' Church. They became the parents of three children, of whom the subject of this review is the youngest; Mary did not marry and was about sixty-five years of age at the time of her death; and Louise, who became the wife of Harry Jones, died in October, 1883.

Francis A. Hilligas acquired his youthful education in the district schools of Short Creek and Athens townships, and as a young man he initiated independent enterprise as a farmer in the former township, which has continued the stage of his activities to the present time. The Hilligas family now own the old homestead of Isaac Cope, and on the place still stand the buildings that were erected many years ago, the original log barn on this place having been the first building raised in Harrison County without the customary accompaniment of whiskey dispensed freely to the workers.

November 11, 1869, was recorded the marriage of Mr. Hilligas to Miss Rachel A. Cope, a daughter of the late Isaac and Abigail (Cope) Cope, representatives of old and influential pioneer families of Harrison County. Oliver Cope came from Wiltshire, England, to America in the year 1701 and settled in Pennsylvania, where he passed the remainder of his life. Representatives of the family later became settlers in Virginia, and it was from that state that came the original representatives of the family in what is now Harrison County, Ohio, the migration to this county having occurred in 1813. John Cope was the founder of the family in this county, and here he remained until his death, his widow\ whose maiden name was Grace Steer, having been ninety-two years of age at the time of her death, March 30, 1865. They became the parents of five children, all sons, and all settled on farms in Short Creek Township, Isaac, former owner of the old homestead now owned by the Hilligas family, having been horn February 1, 1801, and his death having here occurred December 19, 1883, and his wife, a member of a collateral branch of the same family, survived him by several years.

Church, and his wife holds membership in the Hicksite branch of the Society of Friends. To thqm have been bom seven children: Efarry C. died in the year 1893 ; William I., a merchant in Cadiz, married Miss Clara J. Smith; Frank E., likewise is a representative of farm enterprise in this township, and the maiden name of his wife was Delia Barkhurst; Lena O. remains at the parental home; Charles C. is individually mentioned on other pages of this work, as are also Clarence G. and George A.

Charles C. Hillioas is a sturdy young representative of farm industry in his native county, where he owns a well improved farm of 180 acres, in Short Creek Township. He remains at the parental home, and on preceding pages due record concerning the family is given in the sketch of the career of his father, Francis A. Hilligas.

Like many other native sons of Harrison County, where he was born on the 24th of July, 1888, Charles C. Hilligas was signally favored in being reared to the invigorating and beneficent discipline of the farm, and he acquired his youthful education in the district schools of Short Creek Township. He has remained with his father and mother on the old home farm and has not yet consented to withdraw from the ranks of the eligible and popular young bachelors of his native county. He is an aggressive and successful exponent of farm industry, in connection with which he is giving added prestige to the family name, which has long been closely associated with this line of productive enterprise in Harrison County, the Hilligas family having distinct pioneer honors in this section of the Buckeye State.

Mr. Hilligas was reared in the faith of the Hicksite branch of the Society of Friends. In politics he gives his allegiance to the republican party.

George A. Martin. The Martin family of which former County Treasurer George A. Martin of Harrison County is a representative belongs to the history of Jefferson County. Mr. Martin was born May 12, 1855, in Jefferson County. He is a son of Jonathan and Eliza (Spencer) Martin, the parents both natives of Jefferson County. The mother is a daughter of Dunham Spencer. The Martins were farmers in Jefferson County. In March, 1869, Jonathan Martin removed with his family from Jefferson to Harrison County.

Jonathan Martin located on a farm in Short Creek Tow-nship, renting and owning land, sometimes living on rented land when he owned other land. He owned a farm of 157 acres in Short Creek Township but never lived on it. There are three sons: William F., George A. and Charles D., and there were two daughters : Ella, who died in childhood, and Mary, who was the wife of David Barr. As a family the Martins were Methodists. Their children were given common school advantages both In Jefferson and Harrison Counties. G. A. Martin attended the Georgetown School in Short Creek Township as a boy, and as a young man he became a farmer in Short Creek Township.

In 1879 Mr. Martin married Mary B. Dickerson, daughter of Hodson and Hannah Dickerson. At this time he entered into a partnership with his father, Jonathan Martin, which relation continued twenty years. He finally bought the farm of 278 acres in Short Creek Township that they had rented for a good many years. In the fall of 1899 Mr. Martin moved Into Green Township and farmed there. Twelve years later he removed to Cadiz Township, and after two years he went back to Short Creek Township, to his own land, but he only lived there two years when he sold it and bought another farm at Science Hill in Short Creek Township on the Cadiz and Wheeling Pike, and here he lived when he was elected treasurer of Harrison County. He has always been a member of the republican party. In 1914 he was elected on the republican ticket to the office of County Treasurer, was re-elected in 1916, and retired from the office in 1919.

The children born to Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Martin are: Harold S., who married Edna Adolph; Ira D., who married Gertrude Ackerman; and John W., who married Lena Wagner. Since he was fourteen years old Mr. Martin has been a member of the Methodist Church,- and his entire family is interested in the business and social advancement of Harrison County. He was a boy of twelve when his parents removed from Jefferson to Harrison County, and after so many years he only thinks of citizenship in Harrison County.

Charles D. Conaway, recorder of Harrison County, was elected to the office in November, 1916. and was re-elected two years later, and before coming to Cadiz and becoming a county officer he had served as clerk of Stock Township four years. Mr. Conaway was born October 2. 1863, In Stock Township, and he has always lived in Harrison County. He was educated at the Sampson rural school and as a young man devoted three years of his life to teaching in public school. Mr. Conaway is a mechanic, and had worked at the carpenter trade many years before coming to the Harrison County Court House.

The Conaway family is connected with the early history of Stock Township, C. D. Conaway's parents both being natives of Harrison County. Michael C. Conaway was born April 5, 1833, and Barbara Ann (Turney) Conaway was born November 29, 1836, in that community. She is a daughter of Jonas and Elizabeth (Carpenter) Turney. When he was a child Mr. Turney came with his parents to Rumley Township from Pennsylvania. He reared his family in Harrison County.

In the Conaway family the grandfather, John Conaway, and his wife, Betty (Hoagland) Conaway, both came from Pennsylvania to Stock Township, where he entered land, and the claim where he first located has always remained in the Conaway family name. His children were: Cynthia, Hannah, Charles, Jemima, Elizabeth, Susannah, John. Michael, Martha and Rachel. As a family the Conaways were Methodists. John Conaway was a soldier in the War of 1812 the second war with England, and Harry M.

Although he has attained to eighty-seven years, Michael Conaway, who has always farmed In Stock Township, Is still an active man, A. D. 1919. Mrs. Conaway died in 1913. Their children are: Samantha, James (deceased), Lucy

E. , wife of W. H. Copeland, Harry M., William O. and Raymond. The family maintain their membership in Mount Hope Methodist Episcopal Church in Stock Township while sojourning In Cadiz.

Samuel S. Hall succeeded his honored father in the ownership of the remarkably prosperous and representative merchant-tailoring business which the latter had built up at Carrollton, and is well upholding the prestige of the family name not only in this enterprise but also as a loyal and progressive citizen. He is serving in 1920 as secretary and treasurer of the Carrollton Business Men's Association, in the vital activities of which he takes an influential part.

Mr. Hall was born at Sherodsville, Carroll County, August 23, 1892, and is a son of Lewis S. and Jennie (Belknap) Hall, the widowed mother still maintaining her home at Carrollton. Lewis S'. Hall was born at Columbia City, Indiana, February 20, 1806, and when he was six years old his parents, Sutton and Catherine Hall, came to Carroll County and established their residence at Sherodsville, whence they later removed to Cadiz Junction, Harrison County. * After there residing a few years they established their home on a farm near New Cumberland, Tuscarawas County, later moving to Orrville, Ohio, where they passed the remainder of their lives. The early educational advantages of Lewis S. Hall were limited to a desultory attendance in the rural schools, and as a young man he learned the tailor's trade. After having been for a time engaged in the work of his trade at Leesville, Carroll County, he removed to Hampton, Iowa, but within a comparatively short period returned to Carroll County and established himself in the tailoring business at Sherodsville. Three years later, on the 1st of August, 1892, he removed to Carrollton, the county seat, and here he built up a remarkably substantial and representative merchant tailoring business, known for high-class productions that so furthered the success of his business that he found it imperative to retain a larger force of employes than could be found in a similar establishment In a city of the same appreciable population within the state of Ohio. A man of vigorous mentality and mature judgment, he was signally progressive and public-spirited and was foremost in furthering measures and enterprises tending to advance the best interests of his home community. He was a skilled artisan at his trade, had taken two courses of technical study and practical workmanship in a leading school of cutting and designing in New York City, and was authoritative as a designer and draper of men's clothing of the finest custom type. He gave most timely and effective service as a member of the City Council and Board of Public Service, besides doing much to raise the general standard and facilities of the Carrollton public schools during his several terms of service as a member of the Board of Education. He was clerk of this board at the time of the construction of the present fine central school building, and was a member of the City Council at the time when the Carrollton waterworks plant was installed, no one citizen having done more to place the municipal water system on a paying basis than did he, while none had been more ardent In promoting this much needed public improvement. He was a most earnest and zealous churchman and served for twenty years as' superintendent of the Lutheran Sunday School of the church in which he held membership, as does also his widow, and in which he served in every official position, besides being most liberal in his support of the various departments of church work. For the advancing of Its spiritual and temporal prosperity the Lutheran Church of Carrollton owes much to this honored and devoted member. His public spirit was of insistent order, and he was always a leader In fostering undertakings for the general good of the community. Thus it may be noted that he was prominently identified with Chautauqua work and also for preparing for Its centennial observance in 1915. The entire community manifested its sense of loss and sorrow when Mr. Hall passed from the stage of life's mortal endeavors, his death having occurred on the 5th of February, 1917. His marriage to Miss Jennie Belknap was solemnized in December, 1889, and his widow and six children all remain at Carrollton at the time of this writing, in 1920. The names of the children are here entered in respective order of birth : Cecil, Leah, Samuel S., Bessie, Luther and Judd.

Samuel S. Hall was only one month old at the time of the family removal from Sherodsville to Carrollton, and here he was reared to adult age, his studies in the public schools having continued until his graduation in the high school as a member of the class of 1911. He learned the tailor's trade in his father's establishment and by taking a course in the Mitchell School of Cutting and Designing in New York City, and after his return to Ohio he was for three years engaged in the work of his trade at Orrville, Wayne County, where he built up a prosperous merchant tailoring business and continued it until the death of his father in the spring of 1917. He then succeeded to the ownership of the latter's well established business at Carrollton, where his success has been such as to fully uphold the high prestige gained by his father. He is a democrat in political adherency, he and his wife are communicants of the Lutheran Church, and he is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

June 16, 1916, recorded the marriage of Mr. Hall to Miss Beatrice Allison, daughter of Howard W. Allison, of Mechanlcstown, Carroll County, and she is the popular chatelaine of their pleasant home at Carrollton.

James B. Fiedler has been a resident of Carrollton, judicial center of Carroll County, since 1886, and no other citizen has been more closely and influentially concerned with its cl tic and business interests. None has been more loyal and progressive in furthering the general advancement of the community, and none holds more secure place In popular confidence and esteem. Mr. Fiedler has been specially prominent in connection with banking enterprise In Carroll County, served several years as a member of the City Council and was for two terms mayor of Carrollton, in which office he gave a characteristically vigorous, wise and progressive administration.

Mr. Fiedler was bom at Oardington, Morrow County, Ohio, on the 8th of May, 1864, and there he received his early education in the public schools. Upon leaving his native village he went to the city of Columbus, where for three years he was employed in the dry goods department of the leading department stores of the Drum-Taft Company. In 1886, as a young man of twenty-two years, he came to Carrollton and established himself in the retail grocery business, in which he continued six years. In 1894 he accepted the position of assistant cashier in the offices of the J. P. Cummings Bank Company, and thereafter he continued an active and Influential figure in local banking circles until March, 1919, when he resigned his position as manager of the savings department of the Cummings Trust Company, an office which he had held from the time of the organization of this representative banking institution, which is known as one of the strongest and most important financial concerns in this part of the state.

A man of broad views and marked initiative energy, Mr. Fiedler has been deeply interested in the civic and industrial development and progress of his home city, and he made his influence potent along these lines during the period of his service as a member of the City Council, and especially during his regime as mayor. In the council he served as a member of the finance committee and the committee on bills, and no extravagant claim ever succeeded in eluding his scrutiny and opposition. He has been successful in life and has shown deep appreciation of the stewardship which such success involves, with the result that he has been generous and charitable and has not only given liberal support to approved benevolent, philanthropic and charitable agencies but has also extended aid and sympathy to those in need or distress - as one ever willing to "do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame." He has been influential in the affairs of the local Chautauqua, and served on various important committees of the same, while his service in connection with the Chautauqua Centennial was marked by the same vigor, earnestness and effectiveness as has been his career as a business man.

In politics Mr. Fiedler gives his allegiance to the republican party, he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and he is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, including the Knights Templar and the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

In October, 1891, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Fiedler to Miss Emma Cummings, and she was summoned to eternal rest in July, 1913, her memory being revered by all who came within the circle of her gracious influence. She was a daughter of James P. Cummings.

James P. Cummings, one of the founders of the Cummings Trust Company of Carrollton, was bom in Archer Township, Harrison County, Ohio, in 1820, his father, Robert Cummings, having been one of the representative pioneer settlers in that county. James P. Cummings was reared and educated in his native county, whence, at the age of seventeen years, he came to Carrollton and became a clerk in the mercantile establishment of Isaac Atkinson. Later he formed a partnership with Wilson L. Akers, with whom he continued to be associated in the general merchandise business at Carrollton until 1868, when he formed an alliance with his brother-in-law, the late Eli Couch, and engaged in the wholesale grocery business in the city of Columbus. They remained in the capital city until 1870, when they returned to Carrollton and established the private banking house of Cummings & Couch. The death of Mr. Couch occurred in 1888, and thereafter Mr. Cummings continued the banking business in an individual way until 1893, on the 1st of May of which year he admitted Thomas J. Salsman to partnership, under the firm name of Cummings & Salsman. In December of the following year the bank was reorganized and incorporated under the state law and under the corporate title of the J. P. Cummings Bank Company. Mr. Cummings became president of the institution and Mr. Salsman its cashier, while James B. Fiedler, immediate subject of this review, assumed the position of assistant cashier. In addition to these executive officers the original directorate of the corporation included also Judge U. C. DeFord, George J. Butler, Judge James Holder and Jesse Marshall. On the 1st of June, 1906, the institution was consolidated with the First National Bank of Carrollton, which had been organized August 1, 1900, and at this time the present title, the Cummings Trust Company, was adopted. Mr. Cummings continued ns president of the company until his death, on the 12th of July, 1912, at the patriarchal age of ninety- two years. He was a man of great ability as a financier and became the founder of one of the staunchest and most influential financial institutions in this part of the Buckeye State, the while his sterling character gave him a high place in the confidence and good will of the community in which he so long maintained his home and In which he stood as one of the leading and most influential citizens of Carroll County.

In 1844, at Carrollton, Mr. Cummings married Miss Phiniah Beatty, daughter of George and Mary Beatty, her father having been elected the first auditor of Carroll County. Mr. and Mrs. Cummings became the parents of five children -

Addle, Mary, Robert, Lucy and Emma, four of whom are now deceased. Mary became the wife of M. M. Marshall and their home was established in the City of Omaha, Nebraska. Emma became the wife of James E. Fiedler, whose name initiates this article. Mrs. Cummings preceded her husband to eternal rest, both having been earnest members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and his political allegiance having been given to the republican party.

On the 25th of October, 1917, was recorded the marriage of Mr. Fiedler to Miss Mary Westfall, who was born in Brown Township, Carroll County, a daughter of Jacob Westfall, of whom specific record is given elsewhere in this volume. Mrs. Fiedler is the gracious and popular chatelaine of one of the beautiful homes of Carrollton and has made it a center of generous hospitality.

Robert P. Lemmon was a man whose character and achievement marked him as one of sterling principles and fine sense of personal stewardship. He passed his entire life in Short Creek Township, Harrison County, where he was born on the 15th 6f September, 1857, and where his death occurred September 2, 1910. His career was one of active and successful association with the basic industries of agriculture and stock-growing, and the fine farm of which he was the owner at the time of his death is still the home of his widow and their younger children.

Mr. Lemmon was a son of Griffith and Rebecca Elizabeth (Pogue) Lemmon, and on other pages of this work is dedicated a special memoir to his father, so that further review of the family history is not here demanded. Mr. Lemmon acquired his early education in the district schools of his native township, and in that township he began his independent activities as a farmer, his youthful experience having been marked by practical application on his father's farm, so that he was well fortified when he initiated his individual enterprise. In 1895 he purchased and removed to the fine farm upon which his widow now resides, and here he continued as one of the vigorous and successful exponents of agricultural and live-stock industry until the close of his worthy and unassuming life, the farm being well improved and comprising 115 acres. Though essentially loyal and liberal In his civic attitude, and a staunch supporter of the cause of the republican party, Mr. Lemmon had no desire for political activity or official preferment. He and his wife were zealous members of the Presbyterian Church at Adena, but since his death Mrs. Lemmon has transferred her membership to the United Presbyterian Church at Harrisville.

On the 10th of January, 1883, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Lemmon to Miss Mary B. Nicholson, who likewise was born and reared in Short Creek Township and who is a daughter of James and Margaret (Maycline) Nicholson, the former of whom was born in Short Creek Township and the latter was born in Ireland. John Nicholson, father of James, was one of the pioneer settlers of Short Creek Township, where he and his wife remained until their deaths.

James Nicholson was reared and educated in his native township and was one of its representative farmers at the time of his death. He was a birthright member of the Society of Friends, and his wife held membership In the United Presbyterian Church. They became the parents of five children : Anna N. is the wife of Binford T. Stanley; Mary B. is the widow of the subject of this memoir; Margaret is the wife of Henry W. Lupton; James died at the age of seven years; and John R., who married Miss Carrie Morgan, is a farmer in Harrison County.

In this concluding paragraph is entered brief record concerning the children of Mr. and Mrs. Lemmon : Charles N., who resides at Decatur, Illinois, married Miss Nan McDonald, and they have one child, Donald N. Binford F., a traveling salesman residing at Akron, Ohio, married Miss Lulu Spencer, and their one child is a son. Robert Leroy. James G., M. D., is a practicing physician at Akron Ohio. The maiden name of his wife was Pearl Freyer, and their one child is James Francis. Robert M. was in the nation's military service, at Camp Sherman, Ohio, in the period of the World war, he having there been member of the Depot Brigade until he was assigned to the military-police service at that cantonment. He entered service in September, 1918, and received his honorable discharge on the 19th of June, 1919. He is now a member of the class of 1924 in the medical department of the University of Ohio. John A. and Margaret remain with their widowed mother on the home farm.

Jacob O. Bower has made an admirable record in connection with farm industry In Harrison County, is a native of this county and is a representative of one of its honored pioneer families, his birth having occurred in Monroe Township on the 26th of January, 1862. Besides having proved a progressive exponent of farm enterprise Mr. Bower also devoted several years to effective service as a teacher in the schools of his native county.

Mr. Bower, who now' owms and resides upon one of the fine farms of North Township, is a son of John and Jane (Heaston) Bower, both likewise natives of Monroe Township, this county, where the former was born October 13, 1832, and the latter on the 13th of August, 1834, she having been a daughter of John and Mary (Hines) Heaston, likewise representatives of well known pioneer families of this favored section of the Buckeye State. The paternal grandparents of the subject of this review were Jacob and Anna (Frye) Bower, the former of whom was born at Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1800, and the latter of whom was a native of Ireland. Jacob Bower became one of the prominent pioneer farmers of Harrison County, and here he remained until his death, in 1871. He wras a son of Barnhart Bower, and of the family history ample record is made on other pages of this work, in the personal sketch of Charles A. Bower.

Both he and his wife were consistent communicants of the Lutheran Church, in the

John Kower was reared to the sturdy discipline of the pioneer farm, and the major part of his active career was marked by close and successful association with the basic industries of agriculture and stock-growing, though for a few years after his marriage he was engaged in the general merchandise business at Bowerston, which village was named in honor of the family of which he was a member. He passed the closing years of his life on his farm in Monroe Township, where his death occurred February 21, 1907. His widow survives him and is now In the eighty-seventh year of her age, both being earnest members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They became the parents of seven children: Mary A. died in early childhood; Martha E. is the widow of Norris Cartrell ; Sarah E. is the wife of Stewart W. Price; Jacob O., of this sketch, was the next in order of birth; Clara A. is the wife of Albert W. Swlnehart; Ernest W. is a resident of Bowerston; and Ida J. is the wife of Thomas Fierbaugh.

After having profited bv the advantages afforded by the district schools of Monroe Township Jacob O. Bower pursued a higher course of study in New Hagerstown Academy, in Carroll County, under Professor J. Howard Brown. He put his scholastic acquirements to practical test and utilization by entering the pedagogic profession, in which he achieved marked popularity and prestige and to which he gave his attention for a period of fourteen years as a teacher in the schools of Harrison and Carroll counties. He continued to teach six years after his marriage, which occurred in 1887, and thereafter he was engaged in farm enterprise in Monroe Township until the 7th of February, 1908. when he removed to his present fine farm of 174 acres in North Township, where he has been distinctly prosperous in his vigorous and progressive activities in connection with diversified agriculture and the conducting of a substantial dairy enterprise. He erected the modern house which now adorns the farm, besides rebuilding the barn and making other excellent improvements. The house is equipped with an electric-lighting system and also provided with hot and cold running water.

In character and mentality Mr. Bower has been well qualified for leadership in community sentiment and action, and he has at all times stood exponent of loyal and progressive citizen* ship. His political allegiance is given to the democratic party, and he has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church since he was a youth of sixteen years. In the church of this denomination at Conotton he has held virtually every official position to which a lay member is eligible.

In 1898 Mr. Haines engaged in farming In Nottingham Township, Harrison County, where he remained until 1901, when he removed to the farm which is his present place of residence, in Athens Township. Vigorous and progressive as an agriculturist* and stock-grower, he gives special attention to the raising of pure-blood Poland-Obina swine, as well as good types of cattle and sheep, and no man has done a fuller share of hard work in the worthy effort to gain success along normal and legitimate lines of industrial enterprise. He has had neither time nor inclination for political activity, but gives loyal supf>ort to the cause of the republican party. He. and his wife, whose maiden name was Lona P.

Zedic Morris, grandfather of the subject of this review, was bom in Delaware and served as a patriot soldier during the War of the Revolution, his entire period of service having comprised seven years, six months and nine days. After the close of the war he estab- lisbed his home in Monongahela County, West Virginia, where he and his wife, whose family name was Dawson, passed the remainder of their lives. Ezekiel Morris passed his entire life in Monongahela County, where his active career was marked by close association with farm enterprise. Both he and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and both were venerable in years at the time of their deaths. They became the parents of thirteen children - Alpheus, Lavina, Elizabeth, David W., Sarah (died in childhood), Michael, Marian, Maria, Andrew J., James T., Ezekial A., Edgar (died in childhood), and Martha Ann.

In his youth Andrew J. Morris was afforded the advantages of the pioneer subscription schools maintained in his native county, and he was sixteen years old at the time of the inception of the Civil war, so that he was not eligible for service in the early stages of the conflict. On the 4th of September. 1864. however, he enlisted in Company G, First West Virginia Cavalry, with which he continued in active service until the close of the war, his honorable discharge having been received July 8, 1865. His company was principally engaged in scouting service along the line between West Virginia and Ohio, and while he did not take part in any major battles he participated in a number of skirmishes and other minor engagements with the enemy forces.

After the close of the war Mr. Morris continued his activities as a farmer in his native state until his removal to Harrison County, Ohio, in 1901. He was thus engaged in Monongahela County until 1887, when he removed to Marion County, West Virginia, where he became the owner of the farm which was the stage of his farm enterprise until he sold the property and came to Ohio, he having also developed a prosperous business in the buying and shipping of live stock in West Virginia. The well improved farm which is his present place of abode is devoted to well directed agriculture and the raising of good grades of live stock, with special attention given to sheep. His political allegiance is given to the republican party, and he is affiliated with J. F. McCready Post, Grand Army of the Republic, at Cadiz, where he holds membership also in the Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons and the Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

On the 6th of May, 1869, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Morris to Miss Mary I. Berry, who likewise was born and reared in West Virginia and who is a daughter of the late Samuel Berry, of Monongahela County, that state. Mr. and Mrs. Morris became the parents of six children : Cora Alice married Lee Murray and is now deceased, she being survived by three children, Ray, Bessie and Opal B., the last mentioned having been reared in the home of her maternal grandparents after the death of her mother; Oliver Ernest, Norman and Oliver are associated with their father in the management of the home farm, and Norman is married, the maiden name of his wife having been Elizabeth Dickerson and she being a representative of one of the old and honored families of Harrison County ; Laura Belle is the wife of Howard

James T. Fleming. Not all of the successful and representative farmers of Harrison County claim the county as the place of their nativity, and an exception is found in the case of Mr. Fleming, who is the owner of a fine farm property of 257 acres in Cadiz Township, where he established his residence in October, 1909, the property having been purchased by him In the preceding year. Mr. Fleming was born at Mannington, Marion County, West Virginia, on the 31st of August, 1866, and is the only child of William C. and Lavina (Taylor) Fleming, the former of whom was born at Fairmount, West Virginia, and the latter was born in Greene County, Pennsylvania. William C. Fleming, a son of James Fleming, was reared and educated In Wrest Virginia, where his entire active career was marked by close and successful association with agricultural industry and where his death occurred in 1892.

James T. Fleming acquired his youthful education in the public schools of his native state, and there he continued to be associated with the work and management of the home farm until his father's death, when he assumed the entire control of its operation. He finally disposed of his property interests in West Virginia and, as previously noted, has been a successful representative of farm industry in Harrison County, Ohio, since the autumn of 1903. He raised the various crops best suited to the soil and climate of this section of the Buckeye State, and in the live-stock department of his farm enterprise he gives special attention to the raising of sheep of excellent grade. He is a democrat in politics, is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias, and attends and supports the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which his wife is a member. In 1888 Mr. Fleming wedded Miss May M. Tetrick, and they have three children: Ina is the wife of Fred Hatton, of Cadiz; William A. is associated in the activities of the home farm ; and Gypsie married Frank E. Mattern, of Cadiz,

Samuel Ralph McCausland. The farm of Samuel Ralph McCausland in Center Township of Carroll County is one of the well Improved rural properties of this section of Ohio, and the premises show the care of an efficient farmer and good business man. He is one of the prominent dairymen of Carroll County and his success and prosperity are largely due to the thorough business judgment and energy he has put into all his undertakings.

Mr. McCausland was born near Harlem in Lee Township, Carroll County, November 21, 1875, son of Erasmus J. and Mary (Harsh) McCausland. His grandfather, Thomas McCausland, was an early settler in Lee Township, a native of Ireland. His old homestead in Lee Township comprised eighty acres. He and his wife had children named John, Erasmus J., Thomas, Mary, Jane, Mattie, Emma and Florence. Erasmus J. McCausland was a farmer in Lee Township for a number of years and when his son Samuel was six years old moved to Center Township, where he acquired 318 acres and continued active farming until he retired. He had acquired his early education in the Harlem Public School and High School.

Samuel R. McCausland, the fourth in a family of seven children, attended Washington Hall School until he was twenty years old, chiefly during the winter terms. In the meantime he was performing an increasing share of the work on his father's large farm. In 1900 he married Sarah R. Harsh, daughter of Jackson and Anna (Craven) Harsh, of Harrison Township. Mr. and Mrs. McCausland have two children: Loren Harsh, born in 1904; and Samuel Ralph, Jr., bom in 1906.

Mr. McCausland's first independent farm enterprise was the renting of 207 acres in Lee Township. He continued there for seven years, and for five years rented the Ebersole farm. This he conducted as a successful dairy proposition, and he has always been able to make money at dairying and is also an all around stock farmer. Mr. McCausland gave up farming to purchase a flour and feed mill in Richland County, Ohio. He was making profits out of that industry, but after a few months the mill was in the path of the destructive flood of 1913 and that disaster was a heavy loss. He then determined to resume farming in his home county, and in 1913 he bought 102 acres in Center Township. That is his present home, and recently he added 120 acres more, giving him a large farm suitable for his business as a general farmer and dairyman. He produces large quantities of milk and delivers in Carrollton. He is also interested in the raising of Delaine sheep. He is a stockholder and a director and is now president of the Farmers Exchange of Carrollton. He is a charter member of the National Grange at Washington Hall and in politics is a republican. Mr. and Mrs. McCausland are members of the Presbyterian Church in Carrollton.

William Allen Ray, of Center Township, Carroll County, has been solving the problems of farm life for thirty or forty years, is still one of the busiest men in his community, and has accumulated extensive interests represented in the ownership of a large amount of land and by outside connections with financial and other enterprises.

Mr. Ray was born in Fox Township of Carroll County September 3, 1854, son of Abraham and Hannah (Haines) Ray. He is of Pennsylvania German ancestry. His grandfather, Thomas Ray, moved from Washington County, Pennsylvania, to Fox Township at an early day, was reared in that community and married Lydia Roudebush. Their family consisted of three sons and five daughters. Abraham Ray lived for several years in Fox Township, afterward in Washington Township, and devoted his life to farming. He died in 1878 and his wife in 1883.

Oldest of five children, William A. Ray acquired an education by attending the winter sessions of the Glendale School in Washington Township until he was seventeen years old. He learned farming by working with his father, who owned 240 acres, and he planted and tilled a number of crops before he married and started life for himself.

In 1881 Mr. Ray married Sarah M. Roudebush, daughter of Matthias M. and Mary (Marshall) Roudebush, of Washington Township. Six children were born to their marriage: Sherman A., born in 1882, a bachelor who still lives at home ; Lawson M., born in 1885, married Alice Guess and has a son, Kenneth E., now seven years old ; Minnie Belle, Mrs. Irvin Pool ; Chester Manson; Daisy Viola, who died in 1896: and Clayton, who died in 1897, at the age of flve years.

After his marriage Mr. Ray farmed a place of eighty acres included in his father's estate. This he bought and owned many years. For five years he lived on a 240 acre farm at Specht in Washington Township, and since February 29, 1912, has lived at his home place in Center Township. He has always farmed progressively and has used a large acreage in his enterprise. His home place in Center Township comprises 178 acres. He also owns a farm of 120 acres partly In Union and partly in Center Township, and forty acres in Washington Township, altogether 338 acres.

Mr. Ray is a stockholder in the First National Bank of Carrollton and the Farmers Exchange of Carrollton, and has other fnterests in a business way. He has served as township supervisor of Washington Township and as school director, is a republican in politics and a member of the Disciples Church of Carrollton.

Albert R. Haines. A strong, resolute, well poised and noble character was that of the late Hon. Albert R. Haines, whose ability and achievement enabled him to leave a marked and worthy impress upon the history of his native county, and he was one of the most influential and honored citizens of Carroll County at the time of his death, which occurred May 2, 1907, at his beautiful old homestead, Church Hill Farm, in Brown Township. He was born in this township September 15, 1828, and Carroll County continued to be his home until the close of his long and useful life. Records of indubitable authority show that the founder of the Haines family in America was Jacob Haines, who was a devout member of the Society of Friends and who came to America with William Penn in the early part of the seventeenth century. He became a member of the historic Quaker or Friends colony in Pennsylvania, where his marriage was solemnized. He became the father of four sons, and the family continued to be one of prominence in Chester County, Pennsylvania, for a number of generations. Survey of family records indicates that Jacob Haines, greatgrandfather of the subject of this memoir, migrated from Chester County, Pennsylvania, to Frederick County, Maryland, where his death occurred in 1820, his wife, Esther, having died in 1804. Three of their flve sons, John, Abraham and Isaac, migrated to Ohio about the year 1810 and settled In Stark and Carroll counties. Of these sons, John, grandfather of Albert R., married Margaret Castleberry in Frederick

County, Maryland, about the year 1797, and they became pioneer settlers in what Is now Carroll County, Ohio. They became the parents of three sons and six daughters, of whom Joseph, father of Albert R., was born In Frederick County, Maryland, in 1799, and who was about seventeen years of age when he accompanied his parents to Carroll County in 1816, the family home being established in the midst of the forest wilds, near the present village of Pekin, where the father and his sturdy sons began the reclamation of a pioneer farm. Joseph Haines married Hannah, a daughter of John and Catherine Shriver, who came from Maryland and became pioneer settlers in Stark County, where they passed the remainder of their lives. Joseph Haines and his young wife settled on a small farm about a mile northwest of Pekin, and there were born their four sons and six daughters.

Albert R. Haines was reared on the old home farm mentioned above and gained his early education in the pioneer schools. At the age of twenty-two years he went to Wayne County, Illinois, and engaged in teaching school in a primitive pioneer community. The death of his father caused him to return home, and for several years he had charge of the old farm, besides devoting his attention to teaching during the winter terms of school. Later he became the leading merchant in the village of Malvern, where he continued his association with this line of enterprise for a term of years. He then purchased and removed to the fine place to which he gave the name of Church Hill Farm, and this he developed into one of the best improved places in the county.

Mr. Haines became one of the most influential men in the Carroll County ranks of the democratic party, and was active in the party councils and campaign service. He was a frequent delegate to county and state conventions, and represented the Eighteenth Congressional District as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention of 1888. He represented his district in the State Senate, and his ability and character well equipped him for leadership In community sentiment and action. He was a man of broad views and well fortified convictions, was tolerant in his judgment and was kindly and generous in his association with his fellow men, so that he naturally gained and held secure place in popular confidence and good will. He broadened his intellectual ken by extended travel throughout the various sections of his native land, besides which he visited the principal European countries In an extended tour which he initiated by crossing the Atlantic in the autumn of 1889. So remarkably significant at the present time are the following statements concerning Mr. Haines, and taken from a previously published review of his career, that it is considered but consistent to reproduce the same in this sketch: "Mr. Haines has taken but little part or Interest in military affairs. In this he believes, as did his illustrious Quaker ancestors, that the general diffusion of civilization, education, moral ethics and religion ought so to elevate and enlighten all nations to the result that they 'should learn war no more,' but live in perpetual peace and prosperity. He believes that countries and governments, morally and religiously, have no more right to settle their differences of opinion and their disputes by the shedding of blood than communities and individuals have; but that all matters of dispute and misunderstanding should and can be better settled and adjusted by the justice and wisdom of the people through their leaders and representatives by civil law and arbitration. He is Quaker enough to proclaim every day, 'Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than war,' and philosopher enough to believe, with Franklin, that 'There never was a good war, or a bad peace'.'* It will be remembered that these estimates were published prior to the death of Mr. Haines and nearly a quarter of a century prior to the inception of the great World war.

In the autumn of 1857 was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Haines to Miss Almira Harsh who was born in Harrison Township, Carroll County, a daughter of Leonard Harsh, another of the honored pioneers of the county. Mrs. Haines survived her honored husband by more than a decade and passed to the life eternal on the 29th of July, 1919, both having been members of the Presbyterian Church. They became the parents of four children: Lula Hannah is the wife of Joseph T. Wallace, of Los Angeles, California, and they have one son, Albert. Joetta is the wife of Walter Myers, of Minneapolis, Minnesota ; Minnie Albert is the wife of Isaac N. Pennock, of Cleveland, Ohio, and they have two sons, Robert and Paul; and Carrie Elizabeth is the wife of William S. Moses, of whom individual record is made following, their place of residence being the old home farm of her father.

William S. Moses has so directed his energies and policies as to gain secure place as one of the substantial and representative exponents of farm industry in his native county, and the estate which Is the stage of his progressive activities is what is known as the old homestead of his father-in-law, the late Hon. Albert R. Haines, who was one of the honored and influential citizens of Carroll County and whose fine old homestead, now under the active control of Mr. Moses, of this review, is situated in Brown Township, not far distant from the Village of Malvern.

William S. Moses was born in Harrison Township, Carroll County, in the year 1865, and Is a son of Jacob and Margaret (Woods) Moses, the mother having been a daughter of the late George Woods, of whom more specific mention is made on other pages of this volume. Jacob Moses was a son of John and Rebecca (Stattler) Moses, who were early settlers in Rose Township, Carroll County, where they secured and settled on a tract of Government land, the same having remained in the possession of their descendants until 1919, when the property was sold. Jacob Moses was born in Westmoreland County. Pennsylvania, and was a boy at the time of the family removal to Carroll County, Ohio, where for many years he was successfully engaged in farm enterprise and where in earlier life he worked at his trade, that of millwright. He died in 1917, at the venerable age of eightynine years, and his widow passed away in 1911, one of the aged and revered pioneer women of the county. Both were earnest members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, though the father was reared in the faith of and originally held membership in the Lutheran Church. His political allegiance was given to the republican party. The children of Jacob and Margaret (Woods) Moses were five In number - Mollie, Isaac, William S'., George and Catherine.

William S. Moses was reared on the old home farm in Harrison Township, and his early educational advantages were those of the public schools. He made good use of his opportunities and so fortified himself that he became eligible for the pedagogic profession and was for several years a successful teacher in the rural schools of his native county. His active career, however, has been mainly one of close and successful association with the basic industries of agriculture and stock-growing, and since * the time of his marriage he has remained on the old home farm of his wife's father, the same comprising 240 acres of excellent land and the place being one of the well improved and model farms of Brown Township. Mr. Moses gives special attention to the breeding and raising of Holstein cattle with an average herd of about twenty-five head, and he is essentially vital and progressive in all departments of his farm enterprise. In politics he gives his loyal support to the cause of the republican party, but he has had no desire for the honors or emoluments of public office of any kind.

December 27, 1893, recorded the marriage of Mr. Moses to Miss Carrie Elizabeth Haines, who was born and reared In Carroll County, the place of her birth having been the old homestead on which she and her husband now reside. To her father, Hon. Albert R. Haines, a memorial tribute is paid on other pages of this work, so that further record concerning the family is not here demanded. Mrs. Moses attended the public schools of Malvern, including the high school, and thereafter completed a course of study in Steubenville Seminary at the county seat of Jefferson County. Mr. and Mrs. Moses have three children: Almira attended the Malvern High School and at the time of this writing, in i920, is a student in the Dodge School of Telegraphy at Valparaiso, Indiana; Merton S. was graduated In the Minerva High School and In 1920 was graduated in the department of electrical engineering in the Ohio Northern University at Ada ; and Thomas H. is a member of the class of 1921 in the Minerva High School.

Charles I. Kirkpatrick, who is now successfully engaged in the retail grocery business at Malvern, with a well equipped establishment that receives a representative patronage, has been a resident 'of Carroll County from the time of his birth and in both the paternal and maternal lines is a scion of honored pioneer families of this county.

1867, and is a son of Isaac and* Nancy (Reed) Kirkpatrick, the former of whom was born In Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1824, and the latter of whom was born in Brown Township, Carroll County, Ohio, in 1825, she having been a daughter of John Reed, who was born In Pennsylvania in 1796, and whose father, John Reed, Sr., came to Carroll County in the early pioneer days and here passed the remainder of his life. John Reed, Jr., became one of the prosperous farmers of Carroll County, and here his death occurred August 22, 1872. He came to this county about the year 1820, and his original farm was in Brown Township, whence he later moved to what is now known as the J. W. Gorell farm, where his death occurred. His wife, whose maiden name was Jane Thompson, was likewise a native of the old Keystone State, and her death occurred in 1867. They became the parents of seven children : William, Nancy, Elizabeth, John, Mary, Robert and Eliza.

Isaac Kirkpatrick was a son of William and Betsey (Swisshelm) Kirkpatrick, both natives of Pennsylvania. William Kirkpatrick was born and reared in Westmoreland County, that state, and there continued his activities as a farmer until 1832. when he came with his family to Carroll County, Ohio, and purchased 120 acres of land in Brown Township. There he passed the remainder of his life, his death having occurred in 1841 and his wife having passed away in the preceding year. They became the parents of six children : Betsey, Nancy, Priscilla, Catherine (Mrs. McKinney), Joseph S. and Isaac.
