David Fa w celt was one of the pioneers oi Perry township and became one of the substantial and influential men. He was a memlier of the Society of Friends and reared his family in the same l>elief, all the members becoming respected citizens. His family cott- 1 sistcd of three sons and four daughters.

Fli Faweett. who was the eldest in the family, was reared at home anil was educated in the district schools. He gave his whole attention to agricultural pursuits Imth before and t after marrying Following this change in his 1 state, he purchased a farm in < ioshen tow nship of 1 60 acres which he improved and conducted as a stock farm, mainly devoted to the raising of sheep. After the death of his first wife, he returned home and, in partnership with his brother Joseph, operated the home farm for several years and then married again and bought the farm in section 5, Perry township, which continued to be his home the remainder of his life. At the time of purchase, it was heavily timbered but this he cleared and improved, in 1876 erecting the handsome brick residence which is a pleasing feature of the landscape. In all that makes success, the accumulation of property, the capacity for enjoyment of family and social life, the esteem of friends and neighbors and the confidence of fellow citizens, Mr. Fawcett met every requirement. He was a good, honest, upright, honorable man and his death on January 21, 1904. brought sincere regret to all who knew him and his venerable figure and hoary head are much missed in the family gatherings.

Mr. Fawcett was first married to Sarah Sattethwait, who was bom in Pennsylvania and who left three children at death, viz: Mrs. Hannah Call, of Salem; Mrs. Lydia A. Test, of Mitchell, South Dakota: and David S., of Columbus, Ohio. In 1862 he married Susan A.

Like his father, he is identified with the Republican party. A portrait of Kli Fawcett accompanies this sketch.

IVER II. SFliRlXG. president of The French China Company, of Selling. Mahoning County, Ohio, and one of- the founders of this wondrouslv prospering town, owns a name, which, mentioned in almost any part of the

United States, is associated with the beautiful products of the great industrial plants of Sebring, so wide is their distribution. In Ohio, the name means more, typifying, as it does, energy, courage, enterprise, unlimited business ca|»acity. organizing skill and executive force.

Oliver H. Sebring, the eldest of the six brothers concerned in the founding of Sebring, was bom at East Liverpool. Ohio, July 14. 1857, ami is a son of George and Elizabeth A. (Larkins) Sebring. The father was born in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and the mother in the city of Pittsburg. They still survive to take pleasure and pride in the notable achievements of their sons. They reared a family of 10 children, of whom our subject is the eldest memlier, the others being: George E., president of The Oliver China Company of Sebring; Elsworth H., of The French China Company, of Sebring; Joseph H., who died at the age of 27 years; Frederick E., president of The Limoges China Company, of Sebring; Frank A., president of The Sebring Pottery Company and vice-president of The Limoges China Company, both of Sebring; Eva, twin sister of Frank A., who is the wife of Rev. J. H. Norris, of Pittsburg; William H., formerly treasurer of The Limoges China Company, of Sebring, who was accidentally killed by a railroad train in December, 1904; Emma, who is the wife of- J. C. Albright, secretary of The Sebring Pottery Company; and Charles, a twin brother of Emma, who died aged rive years.

Oliver H. Sebring attended the public schools until alx>ut 14 years of age and then w ent to work in the old liaggott pottery in East Liverpool, his duties during two years consisting in driving a horse and his wages being $1 a week, his wages being increased to $2.50 a week, when he was promoted to the Uisincss of running molds. In two years he was graduated into the pressing department in which he worked for al*>ut 15 years, and then went into partnership with his brothers, George E., Flsworth H.. and Frank A., in the pottery business

East Liverpool, which was then held under a mortgage by Mrs. Sarah Jane Campbell. A successful business was carried on here until 1898 when other interests caused an entire change in the business concerns of the brothers. They had long realized the necessity of room for expansion and one and all possessed the foresight which was later shown in the founding of the town which bears their name to-day.

Two years prior to removing all their interests to Sebring, our subject and his brother, Elsworth II., started The French China Company at East Liverpool. When their proposed plans were completed, the brothers amalgamated all their interests and incorporated The Sebring Pottery Company in 1889, the different names under which their industries had been carried on being : The French China Company, of East Liverpool ; The Sebring Pottery Company, of East Liverpool; The Ohio China Company, of East Palestine; and The Oilver China Company, of Sebring. The city of Sebring was platted and built by the consolidated company, but in July, 1903, their interests were divided again, and at present the four interested brothers each have a company under his personal supervision, these being: The Oliver China Company; The Sebring Pottery Company; The Limoges Pottery Company and The French China Company. Each one of these great industries employs 300 hands, the four potteries have 25 large ware kilns and 24 decorating kilns. Their output, as mentioned, is distributed all over the Union, is beautiful in finish and design and valuable for its serviceable qualities as well.

The city of Sebring has only had an existence of six years, but during this short space of time has made progress that shames other industrial centers. It is a busy city of more than _>,ooo inhabitants, and is in the enjoyment of all the facilities and utilities of a community of 10 times its age. being supplied with educational and religious institutions, with social clubs and fraternal organizations, in fact with everything to stimulate progress and to furnish personal ease and business advancement. To nil this Oliver II. Sebring has contributed in great part.

In 1880 Mr. Sebring was married to Matilda Holmes, who was born at East Liver|Mx>l, Ohio, and is a daughter of William and Emma (Dance) Holmes. They have five children, viz.: Anna, wife of W. L. Murphy, who is employed in the Citizens' Banking Company's bank; Pearl, wife of Homer J. Taylor, of East Liverpool ; Burton, Hazel and Wilda. Mr. Sebring is just completing a magnificent home here, which will probably cost $100,000.

Oliver II . and Elsworth H. Sebring are interested in the Citizens' Banking Company which was organized in 1900; The French China Company, the stave and cask factory at Sebring and the Buckeye Forge & Specialty Company.

stated by his brave orderly sergeant.- Hon. A. H. McCoy, as follows: "Captain Taggart was a model American volunteer soldier. Realizing the vital importance of drill and discipline, he convinced the men of his company so clearly of its necessity as made observance a pleasure. Always present with his company on all its weary marches, vigilant watches, skirmishes, and Kittles, by bis presence and undoubted bravery be inspired the men to a faithful performance of every duty and ' an unhesitating share in the nation's sacrifice."

Shortly before Captain Taggart's retirement from the service, an examining commission at Greensboro, North Carolina, reported that he should have l>een a field officer and Major General Cox offered to have him ap|minted to such a pisition in a regiment aloout to be sent west of the Mississippi. This offer was declined, and. with his regiment. Captain Taggart was mustered out. gladly returning home to care for hi farm and coal business.

His father died when James was 18 years old and the responsibility of operating the mill fell upon the latter. He remained there two years and then leased the property and went to Iowa but returned and sold the business and moved to Indiana. lie built a saw and grist-mill which he operated for a time before selling it and returning to Ohio. He then repurchased the old mill and moved it to Westville, Mahoning County, where it may still be seen. In 1858 he traded his mill for a farm in Knox township and embarked in agricultural pursuits but after two years he once more turned his attention to milling and moved to Lisbon where he purchased the old steam mill which stood on the canal l>ank where the Pittsburg. Lisbon & Western Railroad depot now stands. He ran this mill until 1865 when he sold it and rented the stone mill at Lislxm which he ran two years. His next purchase was a mill located about three-quarters of a mile up the creek from New Waterford and which he moved in the spring of 1873 to its present site. He operated this mill for upwards of 20 years until his death, June t8oj. On April 7. 1859. he married Margaret Jane Cobb, daughter of Lewis ami Jeannettc (Stanley) Cobb and five children were horn t<> this union, viz: Sam C. : Seth I'.. who resides in Elkrun township: William tirant. who conducts a large printing plant at Columbus; Mrs. Sarah R.

Sam C. Scott attended the Lisbon school and the district schools*,, if New Watcrford until he acquired a fair education, which lias since been supplemented by comprehensive reading. He was brought up in the milling business, having spent the greater part of his life as cliiid and man in his father's mill and when the death of the father occurred, in June. 1893. he at once lKHight the interests of the other heirs and in July assumed full ownership and control. Mr. Scott is a shrewd, careful manager and has remodeled the entire mill, putting in the latest improved machinery, making it up to date in every respect. It is 'tn.w operated <>n the oscillator system with an output of 50 kirrcls per day and the result will l>car comparison with that of any mill. .Mr. Scott was town clerk' two years, treasurer for many years and is now assessor of Unity township'.

He Homer Laughlin China

HE HOMER LAUGHLIN CHINA COMPANY, one of the largest manufacturers of utilitarian ami art ware m the United States, has its home in East Liverpool. Ohio. When the name of this city is mentioned in any section of the United States, it immediately brings

This business enterprise was established in 1873 by Homer and Shakes|>eare J-aughlin under the title of J^iughlin Brothers. They built two kilns in what was then the extreme eastern section of the city, and three years later such headway had been made as to warrant the building of two additional kilns. After the death of Shakespeare Laughlin in 1870, the Inisincss was continued in the name of Homer Laughlin until 1897. in which year it was incorporated as The Homer Laughlin China Company, with a capital stock of $150,000. The plant was immediately thereafter enlarged to six kilns and in 1890 the present mammoth works were begun in the East End. In 1901 the capital stock was' increased to $500,000 ami a surplus of $500,000 was retained. In 1903 the old plant of this company was exchanged for the plant of the National China Company, adjoining the new plant, thus making an exceptionally large establishment. The company has at the present time 33 kilns in operation, with a daily shipment of three carloads of ware, comprising alxnit 150.000 pieces of finished pottery. The company employs about 1.000 people. The trade extends throughout this country: the trade department is under the general management of George W. Clarke.

The founders of this important industry were lioth bom near the mouth of Little Beaver Creek near Smith's Ferry. Ohio. They were reared in East Liverpool but were engaged in the business of importing crockery in New York City from 1865, when Homer Laughlin was discharged from the army at the close of the war. until 1873, when they established their business in East Liverpool. Thev were close students of the business and practical potters and success attended their efforts from the first. The first great recognition came to their work at the United States Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. when Homer Laughlin competing with American and with English ami other foreign exhibitors was awarded a medal and diploma for the licst earthenware This success was repeated at Cincinnati in 1879. when lie was awarded a gold modal, and again at tin- Columbian Exposition at Chicago, in 1803, in competition with English and American exhibits. In 189.8 limner Lauglilin moved with his family to Los Angeles, California, where his enterprise and public spirit have placed him among the foremost men of that Western State. He built the first tire-proof building in California. He is now one of the largest real estate owners of Eos Angeles.

When lb mer Laughlut retired from the company I string Ins name, he sold the controlling interest to l.onis I. Aaron, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, who has since served as president. The remaining interest was sold to those who had lieen associated with him in the business in various capacities. W. E. Wells, secretary and treasurer of the company from its incorporation and a man of great natural business ability, has continued to serve as such and is the genera! executive officer, lie is a man of w ide acquaintance with the people, and to him is due much of the success or the company in recent years, The present Imard of directors includes the following representative business men: l.onis I. Aaron. Charles 1. Aaron. V. D. Kitchel. Julius < ioetz and W. E. Wells.

About four years after his marriage, he moved from l^awrence County to Beaver County. Pennsylvania, and in 1857 settled on a farm in .Big Beaver township w here he purchased what was known as the Henry New kirk farm.

f|£Tlj )HN VOGLESON, a pioneer of Fai'rftST IS field township, was born at New ().\- H I ford, near Gettysburg. Adams Gmn- E^l ty. Pennsylvania. October 29. 1806.

The parents of Mr. Vogleson were of German extraction. Their lives were jKissed in Adams County. Pennsylvania, where their son attended school, prepared for the duties of life and on October 2!. 1828. was united in marriage to Leah Albert. In 1830 they removed to Geauga County, Ohio, where they remained until the spring of 1831. when they removed from Painesville to Columbiana, wlr'ch was then a promising little hamlet, surrounded with pastures and belts of woodland where now stand substantial business buildings and residences.

To Mr. Vogleson's enterprise and business foresight the town is much indebted. He was one of the very first to inaugurate substantial improvements. His first building was a small residence on the lot where Dr. King formerly lived, which at that time was at the extreme southern end of the village. Here he embarked in a shoe business at which he continued for 23 years. In 1852, in partnership with Joseph Wallace, he built a warehouse near the railroad, afterward known as the Rea & Powell warehouse, and engaged in a general produce business for 10 years.

In 1865 Mr. Vogleson and his son George embarked in the stove business in what was then known as the Farrand Block ; they carried on the Inisiness here for about four years when they sold out to the Farrands and Mr. Vogleson again turned his attention to shoemaking. After a few years, he became interested in the lumber business which was the last of his business enterprises. This was carried on under the name of Vogleson & Irwin and when Mr. Vogleson withdrew it was to retire entirely from business care. On the night of June 26, 1S94, at the hour of to o'clock, he was stricken with apoplexy, at his beautiful home on Main street, and he lingered unconscious until 5:45 the following morning.

Certainly no other man did so much in the way of improvement for the town of Columbiana as did Mr. Vogleson. All of the buildings he erected were of strong construction and great utility. He erected all of the buildings now known as the Farrand Block: he built the residence of John Beard; he was interested in the building of a large warehouse on Elm [ street, one block east of Main : a dwelling Imusc on Vine street, and in 1852 he erected the fine home one door north of where his daughter. Miss Elizabeth E. Vogleson. now resides. She recalls when the land on which the business houses stand was woodland and she remembers playing in childhood in the fields south of the railroad. She was watched with interest a'-

The mother of Miss Voglcson and the beloved and faithful wife of our subject was lx>rn at New Oxford, Adams County, Pennsylvania, on August 7, 1808, and died at Columbiana, Ohio, May 23, 1888. She was a daughter of Daniel and Charity (Demarec) Albert.

Her family lineage on the maternal side is traceable to the 16th century, her ancestors being French Huguenots who moved from France first to Germany, thence to Holland and sailed from Amsterdam in the ship "Brindle Cow," for America, on April 16, 1663. They settled 011 Staten Island, New York, and subsequently removed to Harlem, thence to Bergen County, New Jersey, and later to Adams County, Pennsylvania. At the time of death, Mrs. Voglcson was survived by her aged husband and five children - three sons and two daughters - five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, all of whom attended the funeral. She was a loving and devoted mother and was universally esteemed. Her nature was so kindly disposed that she always had a pleasant word for every one. Like her husband she had been converted in early life, both becoming worthy members of the Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church. The Bible was her daily companion and the l>eautitul fifth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans was her favorite portion of the "Holy Word." On the Sabbath prior to her death, she attended and enjoyed preaching twice, at the church of her denomination, something she had not done in years, the infirmities of age having prevented her taking advantage of church privileges. Surrounded by loving filial care, she passed to her certain reward.

The children of John and Leah < Albert 1 Voglcson were: Allien. (It-ceased: William, married, who is now deceased: Columbus; Ira Eddy, deceased: Elizabeth, of Columbiana; George, deceased: I Mora and Kuora (twins), the former of whom is deceased and the latter is the wife of Henry Faust, of Pittsburg. Pennsylvania: and three children who died in infancy. Miss Elizabeth and Mrs. Faust are the only survivors.

/ head of public affairs at Columbiana in one capacity or another. From 1830 until 1839 he served as justice of the peace in Fairfield township. In 1840 he was mayor of Columbiana under the town's first charter. I^ater he received a commission to act as notary public and this office he filled for six years. In 1862 he was elected recorder of the village of Columbiana and served as such for one year.

Mr. Vogleson was always an ardent advocate of reform. He was an anti-slavery man from the days of Hon. James G. Birncy and until the final emancipatinn of the slaves he worked, taught and voted in the cause of abolition of slavery. No less deeply was he interested in temperance and later in life when the prohibition forces were organized, he consistently supported that party. He was the first president of the Washingtonian movement in Columbiana County, about 1840, and no doubt, if a few more years had been given him. he would have attended the centennial in 1908 of the first anti-saloon society. Temperance as a cause owes much to calm, quiet, resourceful men like Mr. Vogleson, and in his active days he was a man of wide-spread influence.

He was interested in almost everything that contributed to the growth of Columbiana as a desirable place for home-loving people. He was an early and continual sup|xirter of the Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church, licing one of the few earnest religious workers who started a village society which later was developed into a large and flourishing church. For years he was a member of its official Imard, tilling his position there with the same satisfaction to all concerned as he did the duties and >l>]igations imposed upon him in business. pul>- lic and social affairs, during 63 years of residence. His devoted daughter perpetuates his memory in this memorial of him.

^IHEOnORE L. APPLE, special claim agent of the Cleveland and Pittsburg ; Division of the Pennsylvania Rail- I road, and claim agent, in connection with the legal department, of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, is one of the prominent citizens of Wellsvillc He was born at Eastoit, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, December jo, 1K41, and is a sou of David and Matilda (Lescher) Apple.

The Apple family is of German-Swiss extraction, the ancestors emigrating at an early day from Switzerland to Prussia, Germany, and coming thence to the United States, For generations, however, the family has heen American.

Andrew Apple, the grandfather, was lx>rn at Kaston, Pennsylvania, and for a number of years he there followed a milling business. Later he removed to Craw ford County. Pennsylvania, where he purchased a small mill in the vicinity of Cambridge and there spent the remainder of his life. He married Elizabeth Gilmore, who was born on the banks of the Susquehanna River, in Pennsylvania. Her father, Thomas Gilmore. came from Ireland in 1775. and cast in his lot with the American Patriots, enlisting in Sullivan's division which wintered at Valley Forge. Shortly after enlistment. Thomas Gilmore met a fair young American by the name of Rachel Young, who looked kindly on the Irish lad, who in turn was very assiduous in assisting her in the domestic duties which she performed in her home. Just as the order came for the company to move from that locality, the young soldier, accidentally or otherwise, cut his toot so badly that he was detained for some time and before he finally left for the front had l>ecome engaged to be married to the estimable young lady mentioned and after his return their marriage was consummated. His tomb is in the old Kaston Cemetery.

It is related of Grandmother Apple, that she was a very devout woman and, as a fine family of sons was born to her. that her constant prayer was that at least one of these might be led into the Christian ministry, although she was not financially able to give any or each of them a suitable education. Her prayers and pious hopes were abundantly answered, for three of her sous - Theodore. Thomas and Joseph - liecame prominent men and powerful expounders of the Gospel. For a long jhtuhI Thomas Apple was professor of theology in Lancaster College: be was also president of the college for a considerable period and was an able w riter for the German Reformed Mr.t.u-n «iT. Joseph Apple preached for many years in . Craw ford County, while Theodore Apple was professor of mathematics ami astronomy in Lancaster College. They succeeded in their endeavor to acquire a liberal education through their own efforts put forth (luring their leisure hours in the old mill.

David Apple was l>orn at Easton, Pennsylvania, and died in Ohio, in 1K07, aged 84 years. He was reared to the trade of miller and worked with his father in Northampton and C raw ford counties and then w ent to New Cumberland. Virginia (now West Virginia). He then came to Columbiana County. Ohio, and operated the Crawford mill on I5ig Heaver Creek. In 18O4 he purchased the George Gibbons mill on Little Yellow Creek, which he operated for some years and then tixtk charge of John Smith's mill, also located in Columbiana County and then upon taking up his residence in Wellsvillc, he assumed charge of the Wellsvillc mill for Oscar and Byron Gibbons. He was a skilled man in his line of work and always commanded a good position.

Mr. Apple was one of the most loyal supporters of the government during the Civil War. for many years having worked for the abolition of slavery. With three of his beloved sons in the army at one time - all mere lads, Theodore being only 19, George 17. and Andrew but 15 - his interests were so centered in military operations in which they were concerned that it was with difficulty he could force himself to attend to his business. Although he could not go to the front and leave his wife unprotected, he joined the Home Guards of West Virginia and took an active part in the guarding of the frontier when Col. John Morgan made his daring and destructive raids. He was for the grenter part of his life a man of great strength but. having made heavy calls upon his vitality, the last two years of his life were rendered uncomfortable from paralysis.

Mention has been made of his anti-slavery attitude. Mis son. our subject, can recall many occasions when his father would apparently retire for the night with his family and in the morning Ik: found by them quietly resting in his bed, but they knew well that during the hours of darkness he had lieeu alert and one metre poor, trembling, craped slave had been conducted by him safely as far as Recder's, which was his nearest stati. n on the "Underground Railroad." J le was a man who had the courage of his convictions and nu fear of personal injury ever paralyzed bis efforts. He was not a politician but a patriot. He was one of the iirst members of the lodge of Odd bellows at l.:;sioii, which was in the period when there had arisen great prejudice against secret societies.

David Apple, married a daughter of George and Elizabeth ( kemeriah ) Lescher. Mrs. Apple's father was a veteran of the War of 1S1 2. To our subject's parents were l»rn five sous and two daughters, viz: Theodore I-., of this sketch; (ieorge I-cscher; Andrew Oliver; Klizalicth. wife of T. J. Lockhart, of New Cumberland. West Virginia; William, and .Maria, who died in infancy. The mother died in 1858, aged 36 years. She was a consistent member of the German Reformed Church. David Apple married, second. Martha Terry, a descendant of Commodore Terry. She had been a teacher in Craw ford County. Mr. Apple was a worthy memlier of the German Reformed Church and was a trustee of the church in JCaston. He was a man wlnw memory should be perpetuated as an example of a sturdy type of man not often found in these modern times.

Our subject was educated m the common schools of Crawford County and after completing the course he went to reside in the home of a Presbyterian minister, who proposed to pre pare him for college. He was progressing under this tutoring when the Civil War broke out and. although but a youth, as noted above, he felt a man's loyalty anil soon was enlisted as a member of Company 1. First Reg.. West Virginia Vol. Inf.. and served in thai regimen! for three months, when he rc-enbsted in Company F. in the same regiment, and cntinued in that command until the end of the war. He was wounded at the second battle of KuII Run. w hile in command of the company during the absence of the superior officers, his rank being that of sergeant. His wound sent him to the hospital from which he stole away and rejoined his company, nursing bis wound alone, with boyish grit. During the battle of South Mountain and a short time later at Antietam. he displayed such bravery that he was promoted .'nd lieutenant ami a week later was made 1st lieutenant, for "meritorious conduct" on the recommendation of Colonel Tholmru. After this he served on staff duty and was attached to the staff of Colonel Thoburn at the time the latter was killed at Cedar Creek, Virginia.

After the war he returned home in 1K65 and entered into the employe of the Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad Company as -bridge carpenter, ami continued as such until 1S84, when he was made foreman of bridges. In 1X88 he became master carpenter and in 1K07 he was appointed special agent and claim agent, positions he still capably lills. His territory covers Reaver County, Pennsylvania, and Columbiana. Jefferson. Belmont. Carroll. Stark. Mahoning. Harrisou. Portage and Tuscarawas counties. Ohio, while his work frequently carries him to numltcr of different States, lie has made a social study of railroad law with the result that he is exceedingly well versed in this branch.

Mr. Apple married Hannah Crawford, who is a <laughter of A. G. Crawford, of Jefferson Comity, Ohio, and they have three children,, viz.: Anna, who graduated from the Wellsville High School, and was preparing for the study of medicine when she died; Elizabeth, who died in infancy; and George I-escher, who is chief clerk in the trainmaster's office at Cleveland. 1 le was educated in the Ohio State University at Columbus. Mrs, Apple is a very active memlier of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Fraternally Mr. Apple is past noble grand of Iris bulge of Odd bellows, at Well-wide, of which he has Iteen a memlter for more than 30 years. He cast his maiden presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln on his second candidacy, when at Rappahannock Ford, the regiment marching back from the firing line to cast its vote.

ceaseil, was awarded a gold medal tor personal bravery displayed at Fort Gregg, in front of Richmond. He married Mary Pabst, of KIgin, Illinois, who still preserves this medal as one of her most precious possessions.

|K«p.ORGE A. WALTER, one of the V well-known citizens of Elkrun town- HI s'1'I>- res'tnng on a magnificent farm of _>8t acres located in section 6, was born on this farm October 13. 1859. and belongs to one of the old pioneer families of this locality. He is a son of David and Sarah P. (Springer) Walter.

The Walter family is still considered one of the most thrifty and respected among the many Pennsylvania Dutch families which own great farms through Berks and Ruck Counties in that State. From there came Henry Walter, our subject's great-grandfather, who settled in this section of Ohio, where he entered large lx>dies of land and spent the remainder of his life in improving them, dying aged 73 years and l>eing succeeded by his son George. The latter, our subject's grandfahtcr, spent his whole life on this farm in Elkrun township: he also owned other lands, having some 700 acres in his posession at the time of death. He left three sons and three daughters.

David Walter, father of our subject, was !>orn on the present farm of George A. Walter. <>n August 13. 1835, and he also spent his long and useful life here, following agricultural pursuits. He was a man of business capacity and of local prominence. For a numlier of years he served as township trustee and was a member of the School Roard. In politics he was a Republican. His death took place in his old home April 15, 10,04. He married Sarah P. Springer, who was born May to. 1837. at Lislxw, w here she now resides, being a daughter of Henry and Rebecca Springer. Henry Springer was formerly a leading merchant at Lisbon and also owned farm lands and was considered one of the county's capitalists. The three children born to David Walter and wife were: George A., of this sketch: Emma, wife

George A., Walter was reared on the homestead farm and was educated in the township schools. He has always resided on the homestead and has been engaged in general farming and stockraising. This farm is one of great value, on account of its favorable location, its acknowledged fertility which has been brought j about by intelligent cultivation and for its excellent improvements. It belongs to the undivided estate of his late father.

In 1885 Mr. Walter was married to Ella Morris, who was torn in Elkrun township, Columbiana County. Ohio, and is a daughter of Rol>ert and Mary (Ferguson) Morris, and they have five children, viz : Sarah, David, -Frank, Ruth and Alice.

Politically Mr. Walter is identified with the Republican party. He is serving as a member of the School Roard of the township. His fraternal connection is with the Masons and he belongs to the Royal Arch Chapter at Lis- Ixm. This family is one of the oldest in the township and has been prominent in agricultural business and social life. Our subject is a representative memlier of it and he is a citizen who fills creditably every position which lite imposes upon him.

UKMI All C. MOUNTZ. proprietor of the Tine Tree Farm," which is situntol in Butler township, consisting '1 i-j'i icres in section 31. was bom

George H. Mountz was Itorn in Rucks County. Pennsylvania, iti 1 "qj. and was a son of George Mountz. In 1805 the latter decided to cro-s the mountains ami settle in some of the rich, newly opened lands in Ohio. He packed up his household goods and with his family safely made the lony; and tiresome trip and finally located in Knox township, Columbiana Count\', nliout one mile from the present family farm. Here the elder George Mountz entered 160 acres awl the family settled down in their little log cabin as true pioneers. Indians still roamed through the forests and our subject's father frequently met them as he went on horseback many miles to mill, but they never molested him. Both the grandfather and the father of our subject continued to operate the original farm through life, the latter removing to North Georgetown only a short time prior to his death in 1872. He was a consistent member of the Luth eran Church. lie was a quiet, industrious man, and lived a useful, worthy life.

The mother of our subject, Catherine (Hocher) Mountz. was born in Switzerland and came to the United States with her parents when about 20 years of age. In 1836 they j settled in Columbiana County among the pioneers. She was the second wife of George H. Mountz and lived to the age of 67 years. Mr. Mountz by his two marriages liecame the father of 21 children. Seven of his sons by his second marriage were as near the same age as was possible; all grew lo manhood and became men of character and substantial standing. Three daughters died young and one son died aged 18 years. In 1872 a scourge of typhoid fever caused the death of George II. Mountz and two of his sons, very close together. One of the daughters of the first marriage. Mrs. Sarah Moore, now a widow, is our subject's very callable housekeeper.

Jeremiah C. Mountz was six months old when his parents located in Knox township and he lived on the home farm until he was 13 years old. He then engaged with a local hrm and learned the carpenter's trade, at which he worked in Columbiana and Stark Counties until 1863. when he engaged in farming on the property where he has made his home ever since. Mr. Mountz has been one of the township's large land owners, but has disposed of several farms recently. His home farm is known far and wide as the "Pine Tree Farm," which he operated as a dairy farm until recently ; at present it is maialy given over to general farming. Mr. Mountz still works occasionally at his trade, having been a skilled carpenter for 47 years, but has alxitu retired from even active employment of any kind, lie has l>een

On April 30, 1863, Mr. Mountz was married to Mary Martha Pettit, who was born here October 12, 1842, and died here April 1, i8y6. She was a daughter of George Pettit. The eight children born to this union were: Alfaretta, who married George Dellar, of Pittsburg; Emma, who married Joseph Walton, of Butler township; Anna, who married Thomas Whinncry; Homer, of Butler township; Harvey, of Butler township; Charles, who assists his father ; Jesse, of Butler township ; and Florence, who married Herman Gray, of Guilford. Mr. Mountz has reason to take pride in his children, all of them having grown to maturity to be industrious, temperate, Christian people. He has set them a most exemplary example. For 40 years he has voted the Prohibition ticket, voting thus when there were but two temperance advocates in the township. He has always lent his influence in the direction of temperance and morality. He assisted in the erection of the Lutheran Church at North Georgetown, of which he is a memtier and for many years was one of the elders. Mr. Mountz is widely known and enjoys the warm friendship and hearty esteem of the many who have had business or social relations with him. He has always taken an interest in township affairs but not to die extent of holding office.

I portant cases in connection with the firm's exj tensive legal operations, was admitted to practice in the United States courts in March, 1904.
