Whetstone Twp. -
JOHN TRIMBLE, retired, Bucyrus; is a native of the Buckeye State, having been born in Jefferson Co., Feb. 15, 1805.  His parents, Hugh and Ann (Long) Trimble, came from Ireland to the United States in the latter part of the eighteenth century, locating in Pennsylvania until 1800, when they came to Jefferson Co., Ohio.  In 1823, they came to Whetstone Township, locating in the northern part, on land now owned by Mr. Eichelberger.  The father had come to Whetstone Township the previous year, and entered 320 acres of land.  He was singularly upright, and after many years of toil secured a comfortable home.  The mother died in 1830, and the father followed her in 1840.  They were the parents of nine children, two of whom are yet living - John and William, the latter living in Liberty Township.  John Trimble remained with his father until the age of 22, when he was sent to Delaware, Ohio, to enter the eighty acres of land upon which he now lives.  He walked to and from Delaware, and upon his return was given twenty acres of the eighty he had entered.  On the 31st of January, 1828, he was united in marriage with Miss Icy, daughter of Daniel and Patience Parcher, his wife being born in Vermont, Jan. 30, 1803.  Her parents had come to New York, thence to Mentor, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, thence to Crawford Co., Ohio, in 1823.  To John and Icy Trimble was born the following family:  Asenath, Icy, Mary A., Lafayette, Nelson J., Sarah, John W., Lyman and Eliza; the former three are the only ones now living.  After his marriage, Mr. Trimble began living on his twenty-acre tract of land.  In time he added considerably to his small farm; but soon afterward gave it to his children, that they might have something to start with in life.  Mr. Trimble has been a Republican since the organization of that party, and was formerly a stanch Whig.  Two of his sons, John and Nelson, were soldiers in the late war.  John did not live to return home; his daughter Asenath is the wife of G. W. KiefferIcy is the wife of Franklin Bowers, and Mary A., the wife of J. A. McMichael; the latter son-in-law, was also in the late war.  Mr. Trimble has held several township offices, always serving with honor to himself and satisfaction to his constituency.  His wife died on the 25th of February, 1874; he has the unlimited respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens.  As a member of the Baptist Church, he has lived a long, consistent life.
