AMES A- BROWN LEE. one of i£ I1 Boardman township's most venerable ;|fg 1 and highly respected citizens, resides on his valuable farm of 172 acres and owns also 60 acres situated just across the highway, but in Poland township. Mr. Brownlce has Ik-cii an American citizen for many years, but this is not the land of his birth, that having taken place on Turfoot Farm, near the village of Strcthhaven. 12 miles from the city of Glasgow. Scotland. February 4. 1825.

His parents. Ji hn and Margaret (Wilson) I Brownlee. were natives of Scotia. id, quiet, vir- I tuous people whose main object in life became I a wise provision for their five children. It

I was this desire that caused John Brownlee to make arrangements to follow the example of bis two brothers, Alexander and David, who had emigrated to America previously, and who had both Income ]x>ssessed of valuable farms, Alexander owning 400 acres in Mahoning County, and David an equally large tract. Still another brother, W illiam, had emigrated and settled in New York, as earlv as 1812. and subsequently become a minister in the Reformed Church. In 18^2. John Brownlee hail almut completed his arrangements to sail for America with his family, when he was stricken with illness and died before the time arrived.

The mother of James Brownlee was a woman of great resolution and of admirable character. When left a widow, with the future welfare of her children subject to her sole guidance, she resolved to carry out the plans of their late father and when the appointed time came, 1->ok passage with them 1 n the sailing vessel which landed them all safely in the port of New York after a voyage of some eight weeks. By canal antl lake they reached Ashtabula County, and, thence came in wagons to Mahoning County, finally reaching the farm now owned by Mr. Brownlee, which had probably been selected by one of his uncles. The land had l>ecn partially cleared and a six-room stone house was standing and thus immediate shelter was found. The surrounding country was licttcr settled than in some other localities although considerable small game still remained. In spite of the many pioneer hard- j ships to which Mrs. Brownlee was necessarily » subjected, she lived a widow for thirty-three years after coming to America, dying on this farm in 1865 at the age of 84. Her children were: Alexander. Thomas. William. David j and James Archibald.

James Archibald Brownlee. the youngest ; manlier of the above family, is also its only survivor. He was but seven years of age when he accompanied his mother from his native land, but is able to recall many events of ' that long journey. He grew to manhood on the present farm and obtained his education in a little log school house which stood near his home. He remembers the rough slab : benches and the big fireplace in which it was | the duty of the Ik.vs to lake turns in lighting a fire and also in procuring fuel from the nearby forest. He grew up industrious and oliedient to his mother, and remained on the farm with her after the other lioys went out into the world to shift for themselves.

On March 16. 1855. Mr. Brownlee was married to Rel>ecca Gilchrist, who was Ixirn November 16. 1832, at Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and was a daughter of James and Grace (McGraw) Gilchrist. Her father was a well known car]>enter and contractor. Her mother was the widow of a Mr. McGraw, her maiden name lxHng McClelland. Might children were l>orn to this marriage, as follows: Mary and James II., who both reside at home; John and Edward, twins, the former residing at home, the latter a physician practicing at Struthers, a graduate of Poland Union College and of 1 Dartmouth College, who married Ella Geddcs; J

Eva, who married David Blunt, and resides on Loveland Hill; Irvin, residing near Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, who married Minnie Lormer, of Detroit, and has four children - Lormer, Ruth, Irvin and Robert; Ralph, of whom there is no special mention: and Grace, the wife of George Hunter, residing near Pittsburg, who has two children - Margaret and Wallace. Mr. Brownlee and family belong to the Presbyterian Church.

Mr. Brownlee has always followed farming and stock-raising as his occupations, and at one time he supplied almost all the meat used in Youngstown. He obtained a part of his land from his mother's estate (it having been purchased from the heirs of John Zedcger). and 53 acres from Peter Webber, on which tract stands his comfortable 1 i-ruom house. Coal has liccn found on Mr. Brownlee' s property, two veins having been developed from which many tons of fine fuel have l>een secured and doubtless many more will be mined.

Politically, Mr. Brownlee is a Republican ; he has held a number of tow nship offices, serving as township trustee, assessor and for two terms as land appraiser. Both he and his wife are widely known, and have long been noted for their hospitality. Mrs. Brownlee, like her husband, is the youngest meml>er and only survivor of a large family. Her parents died at Coitsville. Her brothers and sisters were: Isabella, who married Robert Morris; Jane, who married Samuel Shaffer: Nancy, who married William Cooper; Margaret, who married James Harvey; Ellen, who married Thomas Kirk; Mary, who married James D. Shields; James. Alexander, and Elizabeth.

^"~]nll\ BEARD, a highly esteemed and one of the most venerable residents 01 Mahoning County, who has resided I on his present farm since 1848. was bom in Westmoreland County. Pennsylvania. July 2. 1818. and is a son of Jacob and Frcdcrika (Unkauf) Beard.

first in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. In the fall following the birth of Mr.' Beard, they moved to Springfield township, Mahoning County, Ohio, where Jacob Heard purchased a 40-acrc tract of timber, to which he sul>seuuent]y added two 80-tracts. all of which he cleared up. He was a typical German pioneer, possessing all the sturdy characteristics of his race, and he reared a family which has reflected credit upon their parentage and the country in which they were reared. In 1839, Jacob Heard sold his jKissessions in Springfield township and purchased section 5, Heaver township, which is still known as the Heard section and is largely owned by bis descendants. He built a home on the part now owned by Alvin Thoman and later built where G. S. Beard lives. When his days of activity were over he moved with his wife to Canfield." where they resided to the end of their lives, passing away honored and respected by all who knew them.

The children born to Jacob Heard and wife were: John, whose name appears at the head of this sketch; Jacob, extended mention of whom will be found in the sketch of Monroe Heard, printed on another page of this volume: Susanna ('deceased), who married Dr. I-ouis Zeigler; Frederika. who married Joseph H. Miller, of Boardman township and is now deceased: Henry and Jacob, Mil deceased : Lydia, who married Galiricl Klyne. residing at Viungstown: Hannah 1 deceased), who married Heler Klyne, and David, who resides in Newton Falls. Mahoning County.

John Heard was reared in a very practical manner and from childbed was taught that industry is the price of success. As he was the eldest of the sons, he became his father's chief assistant. He remained at home until 184K. when he purchased 50 acres of partly cleared land, on which then st< od an old log cabin. Later he buight iS acres and still later -'4 acres, b.th of which he subsequently trade<l in a bargain for a 100 acre farm adjoining his original purchase. He then built the comfortable In mie in which he has lived e\er since. ha\itig also erccteil other siib-t mti il buildings in connection therewith. During his active years he was a successful agriculturist and was considered one of the township's most useful and substantial men. Although- be has passed his 89th birthday, he retains his vital powers in a wonderful degree.

In January, 1844. Mr. Beard was married to Hannah Frtzingcr. who was horn in Berks County. Pennsylvania, January 18, 1823, a daughter of John Frtzingcr. Mr. and Mrs. Heard had two children. Lydia and Freeman H. The former, born April 15, 1845. married Andrew Lynn, of Beaver township, and died in 1897. Freeman H. Beard resides in section 7. Beaver township, where he has a valuable farm of 157 acres. Politically. Mr. John Beard is a Republican. He is a member of the Paradise Lutheran Church.

Mr. Beard's memory being excellent he can recall many interesting events and conditions pertaining to this section. He remembers w hen Youngstow n had but one store, ami but a few cabins, and when the location now occupied by the Diamond was nothing but a rank pond. At that time Poland was a more thriving place, having three stores and a larger Imputation. Wages paid for labor during his early manhood anil the price of commodities furnish food for reflection. In his day, workbegan as the sun peeped over the hills at dawn and continued, with a brief "nooning" until the stars shone at night, when a choice was given the laborer of a bushel of wheat or the sum of J5 cents in money, this scale being only operative, however, during harvest days, at other times the pay l>cmg but 18 cents. Mr. Board recalls the time when a barrel of salt cost 48 bushels of shelled corn, eggs were worth from two cents to but one and one-half per dozen, butler was three cents per pound, chickens were three cents each and for coffee 65 cents a p<und was demanded. It is a long distance to look back over 8>) years and wonderful events have happened within the span of his life. He still keeps himself well informed concerning public affairs and takes an interest in local haptjenincs rind the welfare of his neighbors and kindred.

greater part of his long and useful life was spent. He l>clonged to a prominent pioneer family of this section and was born in the historic old Mackey homestead in Mahoning County. Ohio, in Oc'tolier. 1 83-. and was a son of James and Margaret ( Early ) -Mackey. The Mackey family history will 'be found in this work in the sketch of James Mackey, brother of Rolxrt Mackey.

Alter completing his education Robert Mackey became interested in developing the coal land on his own farm, but subsequently gave his main attention to fanning and stockraising. Following in the footsteps of his father, he became a factor in political life, and in 1877 he was elected a memlter of the Mate legislature and served one term, after which he resumed his agricultural pursuits and also gave attention to affairs of a public-spirited nature.

In association with his brothers, James and David Mackey. he projected the first street railroad at Youngstown. it being constructed in 1875. It was operated by horses until the installation of electricity, and it marked the lieginning of a large amount of Youngstown's prosperity. In many ways his intelligence, judgment and capital were "used to benefit his fellow citizens, and he is recalled by them with consideration and esteem.

On December 10, Robert Mackey was married to Kate M. Martin, daughter o'f Hugh R. and Dorcas < P.lackburn ) Martin, who were natives of Lancaster C ounty, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Mackcy's parents came to Ohio and settlers 111 Springfield township, Mahoning County, just across the hue from Poland township, ;,nd there Mr-. Mackey was reared. Immediately following their marriage. Rohert Mackey and wife settled on the old Mackey homestead, where Mrs. Mackey still resides. The residence was built several years prior to 1N10. when the lather of the late Mr. Mackey lx.ught the farm.

namely: Frank, who resides with his mother and manages the farm; Emma, who also resides with her mother, and who is the widow of Fred C. McCombs, who was assistant superintendent of the Lowell furnace, and was accidentally killed six months after his marriage; Rol>ert and George, both of whom died while their father was serving in the legislature, their deaths occurring from diphtheria, but three days ajwrt. The death of Robert Mackey occurred November 11. 180,3.

Mr. Mackey was one of the pioneer movers in having the county scat moved from Canfield to Youngstown. He was also a member of the Mill Creek Park Commission and gave much of his time and attention to bringing the Park into public favor.

The record of American soldiers in the country's archives, shows that John Truesdale was a brave and faithful soldier throughout the war.

At the close of hostilities, he returned to Pennsylvania and shortly afterward was married to Hannah Robinson. loiter he removed to Washington County. Pennsylvania, and in 1802 from there to Mahoning, then Trumbull . County, Ohio, and acquired land in Poland township, as he is listed with tax-payers, in 1802.

John Truesdale, the third of the name in the ancestral line, and the father of Dr. Jackson Truesdale, was bom in 1783, on the farm in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and accompanied his parents to Ohio. He assisted in the clearing of the wild land which had been selected by his father. Subsequently he married Mary Reed and they moved to Austintown township. Both he and his wife died in 1825, their deaths occurring but three weeks apart. They had five children, namely, four sons, James. William.

Subsequently he spent a short time at Oherlin College and later at Allegheny College, but did not remain long enough to graduate. In 1840. he moved to Kentucky, where he continued to teach for a number of years, teaching one year near Nashville, Tennessee. While thus engaged he spent all his leisure time in reading medicine, and after his return to Ohio, he continued his medical studies with Dr. Joseph Truesdale, of Poland.

in the development of Canfield village and township, has resulted in a large amount of interesting local history, which is valuable to the historian as well as to all those who take pride in the achievements of their pioneer forefathers. These are all much indebted to the researches of Dr. Truesdale.

Mr. Heintzelman takes an interest in his family history and he justly prices very highly a German family Bible, which was handed down to him by his father, who had received it from his father. The old records in -this holy Book reach far back and are entirely dependable.

(ill BKYSON WICK. In recalling the men to whom Youngstown is indebted for its material prosperity, the late Hugh Hrvson Wick is immediately brought to nun. I. for lie was a very imp. > riant factor in its <ieveli>](- inent for many vears. His ],,ng and lni-y life was mainly devoted to llr.s section, whxh benefited by his business sagacity and puhlic s|»int. Mr. Wick was born at Youngst -wis, February 5. riW and died April _>_-. 1SS0. lie was a sou of Henry and Hannah 1 i'.al.lwin) Wick. The Wicks were of English origin, settling originally on Long Island. Nc.v York.

Mr. Wick's parents came to the Mahoning Valley as pioneer- from Washington County. Pennsylvania. For inanv years they were closely identified with the business and social interests of this section and when they passed away they left memories of honorable, useful and virtuous live-. They reared a large family and almost all of these became prominent in - .me walk of life. They were ruth Baldwin. Th. nun- Luptoii, Betsy, l.e-miel Henry. Jr.. Hugh Bryson. Hannah. Matilda Lucretia. John I 'cnniek, Mary Aim. Fb' m is Luptmi 1 Ji ..ml Haul. The lirst hirth was in 1705 and the la-t 111 1NJ4. The las! mruvor of this notable family was Henry \\ 1. :k. Jr.. who was ;i resilient of Cleveland.

I business career as a merchant in iSj8. opening a -tore al Bn .. .kheld. Trumbull County, where lie miiamed for ten years, during a lotion of which period he had business interests rolling mill and opened a store, the latter being managed by the late Paul Wick and continued as a business under the management of Tan! and Hugh 1!. W ick until 1855. This rolling-mill enterprise was the nucleus around which developed the immense works of Brown. Hoiiuell & Company.

PtoUibly the late Mr. Wick was !>cst known as a financier, having been piominentlv identified with the H. B. & H. W'ick Banking Company of C leveland, and. after 1K57. with W ick Brothers & Company, Hankers, at Young-town. He had large coal and oilier interest?., was a director in the Mercer Mining & Manufacturing Company, the Slicnango \- Allegheny Railroad Company and many other .successful inttrprises. lie was essentially a business man and seldom undertook responsibilities unless he clearly saw his ability to bring them to a successful issue. With other members of hss family, and also individually, be stood for years at the hc:id of great combinations of capital and industry, and during the many years . ,f such prominence enjoyed unlimited confidence and universal esteem.

On nctoU-r ,v>. 1 Mr. Wick was united m marriage with Lucretia <«. Winchel!, who was horn Scptcml>er 5. 1N1 ,. at Wallingford, Connecticut, and was a daughter i>f Orrin and I. aura C. Winchel!. Being left an orphan when ynng, Mrs, Wick was reared 111 the home of her uncle. Dr. Charles Cooke, at Yonngsiown. Her death occurred on April .7. 1H0J. when in her 717th year. < )t the ten children of Hugh U.

son Wick was a consistent member of the First Presbyterian Church of Voungstown. He was a willing and libera) contributor to al! regulated charities. Although he lieionged to a family which took a more or less important place in the city's varied interests and thus commanded a large measure of public attention aside from his individual prominence, he was notahiy simple and unas-un.ing. t.< the clost. of his hie being a practical business man who liker best to stand before his feliow -citizens on his own merits. He was a man who was devotedly loved in the domestic circle, was trusted and revered by a large number of personal friends and was admired and respected by his fellow -citizens.

\MI.S MACKF.Y, one of Youngsti "Wit's leading citizens, whose professional work as a survevor has kept Ins name Ik- 'ore the public for many >ear>. wash.Tii at \ - .utigstown. Main niiig County, Ohi... February 7. iK_><). and he ': -on of |.unc- and Margaret \ Farlv ) Mackey.

As the name indicates, the Mackey s originated in the Highlands of Scotland, and the founder of the family in America was the grandfather of Jame- Mackey. who settled in Pennsylvania and there reared a family. James Mackey. Sr., father of James, was l*,m in 1770. in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and in lSo; he came to Ohio and settled in thai part of Trumbull County wbieh later Ircame Mahoning County. He wa- a 111 111 of education, a mathematician and a -nr\c\or. and. with oilier einerprists. he became associate.! with Rolwrt Montgomery in the buil.hrg of one of the tii -t furnaces on Yellow Creek. He kept the accounts of the firm niiti"; lhe Ix-ginning of the war of l8li, when he joined the Fourth division of Ohio militia, in which he was paymaster and also adjutant, and was accorded the rank of major, hy which title he was *ii!isci,uci!ily known.

In 1816 Major Mackcy entered into partnership with Colonel William Raven in a mercantile Imsiness at Voungstown. which continucil for several years. Prior to 1823, when he was married, Major Mackcy purchased a large tract of land northeast of the village, and on this he settled, making it his home during the remainder of his life, and carrying on farming and stock-raising. His death occurred August 15, 1X44, when he was 68 years old. During the whole of his active liie he had done surveying, and his son's proficiency as a civil engineer may l>e a direct heritage from the father. September 10. 1823. he married Margaret Early, who survived until May 14. 1870. Her parents. Thomas and Jane Early, who were born in Ireland, settled in Coitsville township. Mahoning County, Ohio. Major Mackcy and wife had eight children, three of whom died in childhood. There are but two survivors, namely: James and his youngest sister, Letitia. who is the wife of Andrew Kiik.

Major Mackcy was the type of pioneer whose value to a community cannot Ik.- overestimated. He served as township trustee, justice of the j>caec, township clerk, county commissioner, a member of the legislature and treasurer of Trumbull County, while in his immediate neighborhood (here was no ncccssitv to elect or ,»p[iomt by law . for he was naturally titled to 1c a leader and safe adviser.

James Mackcy, Jr., was afforded common school and academic training lie fore he entered the Cleveland University. Here he prepared himself for the work for which he felt himself especially fitted, and proved himself so competent and accurate, that he had filled but a few contracts U'fore he was invited to become a men:l>cr of a commission made up of five representative engineers and surveyors ol Ohio and Pennsylvania, to establish for all time the buindary line lictvvecn the states. Mr. Mackcy has probably had as much experience in the surveying of coal lands and mines as any man in his prou-ssi. >n. his w - -rk being market! with the certainty and accuracy which precluded all kinds of litigation. About

1875 'le began also to survey and plat town sites and his work in this line has been vast. With his brothers, the late David and Roliert Mackcy, he promoted and constructed the first street railroad in Voungstown, the old horsecar line, which was then an enthusiastically welcomed public utility. Of this enterprise he served for seven years as president, when the pressure of professional work made it seem advisable that he resign this office, as well as curtail his activities in a numlx.-r of other directions.

Mr. Mackcy, like other members of his family, has always been identified with the Democratic party, but he has never been c< mvinced that his duty as a good citizen necessitates his acceptance of public office. Neither has he accepted many positions on directing boards of business or other enterprises, his tastes lying more in the direction of a private life and close attention to his professional work. Large demands have come to him in this line, and these he has met with the efficiency which has made his name one of note in civil engineering all over the state. He spent upwards of fifty three years in and alxnit Voungstown in his profession.

On October 30. 1X02. Mr. Mackcy was married to Mary It. Ruggles. who was born in Canheld. Ohio, a daughter of Azor and Adeline M. Ruggles. Mr. and Mrs. Mackcy have had five children, namely : Rohcrt M.. who 1 died iu infancy. Charles I... Grace. Margaret I II. and Nellie. The beautiful family home.

which is the center of much social life, is situ- I ated just east of the city limits, on McGufl'cy ! street. Mr. and Mr-. Mackcy are members of the Episcopal Church, worshipping with the congregation at St. John's, of which Mr. Mackey was ;l meml>er of the vestry tor a number of years.

Mr. Mackcv was a manlier of the original j Ixwrd of trustees of the Raven School, and after serving continually for twenty years, he refused to accept the position longer on account of his pioiessional duties. His portrait is published 'Hi a neighboring page of this volume.

jjl-XRV ISKEAL. proprietor of Beaver Dale Farm, a magnificent tract ot joo acres of fertile land, extending tliri'itKH. the best part of Goshen township, which he devotes to general farming and fruit-growing, is also an experienced railroad man, having been identified with various great transportation lines since he w as 16 years old. He has been engine insjKCtor at Alliance, Ohio, since the fall of 1899. for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Mr. Isreal was born June 30, 1838, at Pittsburg. Pennsylvania, and is a son of Adam and Elizabeth {Grcabing) Isreal.

The parents of Mr. Isreal were Imrn in Germany. When he was 1 1 years old his father died and he remained with his mother until her second marriage, when he started out to make his own way in the world, turning his attention to railroad work. For a number of years he worked as brakesman with the Ohio & Pennsylvania system; then one year as fireman; then for 14 years as locomotive engineer for the Pittsburg, Port Wayne and Chicago Railroad, three years of the time as freight engineer, and 1 1 years as passenger engineer. On July 3. 1873, when the Ashtabula and Pittsburg Railroad opened service, he became engineer and yanlmaster at Ashtabula, in which capacity he continued to serve until Septeml>er 1, iN6j, when he was appointed road foreman of engines of Division R, on the Pittsburg. Port Wayne & Chicago Railroad, which position he filled for nine consecutive years. He then became assistant road foreman on the Eastern Division In-tween Crestline and Pittsburg, a position he held for eight years. In the fall of 1899, he assumed the duties of his present office.

In 1N78, Mr. Isreal acquired Reaver Dale I-'arm, on which he settled in i8S_:. and resided there until the fall of 1900. when he removed to his present place of residence, which is known as the Ezra French farm on the liarfield road, near Damascus. Mr. Isreal had few educational op|»irtunities in his youth, having never entered a school mom after he was ii years old, but nevertheless his education, of a thoroughly practical kind, has made him a well-informed man.

On May jy, 1861, Mr. Isreal was married to Mary A. Hartje. who was lxrn in Columbiana County. Ohio, April 13. 1838, and is a daughter of Lorenzo and Wilhelmina (Herbst) Hartje. Her father was born in Germany and served seven years under Najjoleon lionaparte. He was in the campaign in Russia, also taking part in the battle of Waterloo. With pardonable pride he wore the decoration of the Black Eagle, which he had won by his bravery. Mr. and Mrs. Isreal have had six children, namely: Frank, deceased: Charles A., residing in Smith township; Elizalieth, who married John King, residing at Salem; Wilhelmina, who married Louis Doane, residing at Alliance: and Frederick W.. and Homer \V., both residing at Alliance.

Mr. Isreal cast his first presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln and has supported the principles and candidates of the Republican party ever since. He recalls a most interesting incident in his life, one which went far to make him an Abolitionist. This was at Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, in 1853. when he was instrumental in securing the freedom of a slave Woman and her six children, from her pursuing master. He was reared in the Lutheran faith and his wiie is a member of the Society of Friends, lxith being consistent in their views. He is a member of the Masons, having united with the fraternity in 1873 at Allegheny City, and is now connected with the Blue Lodge at Alliance.
