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.
