EPHRAIM E. UPP,
Sandusky, was born in Richland county in 1834, and was a son of
John W. and Catherine (Yeiser) Upp, who were born and
married in York, Pa., and settled in Richland county in 1822,
and came to Erie county in 1835, and died in Sandusky.
John W. was born in 1810, and died in 1878. His wife
died in 1842, leaving four children, three of whom are now
living: Ephriam E.; Isabella, now Mrs. S. P.
Towne; and Mrs. Eliza Clark. John W. was
proprietor of the renowned Steamboat Hotel for several years.
Ephriam E., in early life became engaged in the
manufacture of sash doors and blinds, after which he became
engaged in the fish and commission business with his brother,
H. Y. Upp, and shipping trade from 1855 to 1861; went into
the ice business in 1855, erecting his storehouses as his
increasing business required, and is now a member of the firm of
L. J. Seek & Co., of Toledo. Mr. Upp was
married in 1861 to Eliza H. Horner, who was born in
Vermont. They have had a family of eight children, six of
whom are now living: Mary, Kittie, Lucy, Willis, Clark
and Alice. Mary graduated from Oberlin College
in the class of 1885, and was married in 1886 to John B.
Abell, Springfield, O., who was also a graduate of that
class. The remaining five children are now students at
Oberlin.
