  JAMES F. HARRY, one of the substantial farmers and much esteemed citizens of Allen Township, who resides on a farm of 76 acres about four and a half miles north of Findlay, has been living on this farm since 1869.  He was born Nov. 8, 1836, on a farm four miles east of Van Buren in Cass Township, Hancock County, Ohio, and is a son of Samuel and Rachel (Franks) Harry.  His parents were both born and reared in Pennsylvania, and after their marriage located in Hancock County, where the father died when our subject was very young.  The mother subsequently removed to Seneca County, Ohio, where she settled on a  farm, and many years later married William Myers, who died about 1856.  Our subject and mother then returned to Hancock County and located for a time on a farm one mile northwest of his present place.  In 1869 they purchased the farm on which Mr. Harry now resides, and the mother later removed to Van Buren, where her death occurred.
     Mr. Harry has made all of the improvements on his place, and erected his fine frame residence in 1889.  When gas was first discovered in this locality, it was struck on his farm, and he received $1,500 a year as royalty for it.  He now rents out his farm, and is taking a well earned rest after yeas of unceasing activity.
     In 1871 Mr. Harry married Sarah Jane Decker, a daughter of Mahlon and Minerva (Dull) Decker, who in their day were very prominent citizens of Allen Township.  To Mr. and Mrs. Harry were born the following children:  Lilly Adosia, died aged nineteen months; Maud Nora, who is the wife of Burgett Murray of Findlay, and has two children, Margaret and Caroline; Charles B., who is engaged in agricultural pursuits on a farm three miles east of Van Buren in Cass Township; Edith, who died aged two weeks; and Augusta, who is the wife of Franklin Saythe, of Akron, Ohio.
